NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair honored 8-year-old Palestinian girl Wafaa Akila, who was killed alongside her father in an Israeli airstrike, by writing her name on his eye black strips during yesterday’s game in a show of solidarity with Gaza.
Al-Shaair has repeatedly paid tribute to Palestinian children killed in Gaza by displaying their names during games, continuing to raise awareness despite repeated NFL warnings and fines.
