If someone doubts our right to exist – be it on the hills of Umm al-Fahem or in Munich’s beer halls, in Gaza’s crowded streets or in the thick woods of Babi Yar – it’s their problem. Proud states do not break into wails and crawl under the carpet when they discover someone doesn’t love them.
In Barcelona, Bayern Munich, in Spain and Germany we were able to do it. But people say, ‘You only did it because you were in Barcelona and Bayern Munich. You will not be able to do it in England.’ So, let’s do it. We are going to try.
