On the ground and on social media.. Guardiola's daughter supports Palestinians

Maria Guardiola, the daughter of Manchester City's English manager Pep Guardiola, was among tens of thousands who participated in a massive rally in London on Saturday in support of Palestinians.

Around 100,000 people demonstrated in London on Saturday afternoon, calling for an end to the war in Gaza and in support of Palestinians, following two weeks of ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. From the heart of the demonstration, Maria Guardiola posted several photos on her Instagram account through the "Story" feature.

One of the photos shows a child holding a sign that reads, "Bombing children is not self-defense."

Another caption read, "Please stop bombing my friends and their mothers and fathers." Maria expressed her support for the Palestinians, who have been under continuous bombardment in Gaza since Hamas launched its surprise attack inside Israel on October 7th.

She posted a lengthy message on Saturday, stating, "Is this really what we are doing now? Sitting and watching genocide happen on television?" She added, "How many people have to die before someone speaks out against this madness and calls for restraint?"

She continued, "This is very simple. We are witnessing an occupied and oppressed people facing annihilation by a nuclear state with full support from the Western world. This has never been and will never be a fair fight."
