"Israeli soldier who wants the destruction of Gaza": Solomon's post locked to comments

Manor Solomon scored on his debut for West Ham, but the team drew 2-2 with Burnley. His fan chant, which includes the line "He hates Palestine," sparked pro-Palestinian reactions, and the club blocked comments on the post. Coach Nuno Espírito Santo praised his performance.

Manor Solomon started and scored a goal on his debut for West Ham, but the team failed to hold a two-goal lead and drew 2-2 with Burnley. The English media focused on his high quality, but also on his fan chant, which includes the line "He hates Palestine." The chant, which had already drawn criticism in England during his time at Leeds, has now followed him to West Ham. Following pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel reactions, the club blocked comments on the post. Coach Nuno Espírito Santo praised him: "Manor Solomon was very good. I'm happy he scored and improved his confidence. He brings us very good things." On the blog ClaretandHugh, they wrote: "He was very dangerous; he'll have a very impressive highlights reel." On Saturday, West Ham will host Charlton, and three days later they will face Southampton in the League Cup.
