Very emotional and heartfelt speech by Pep Guardiola about Gaza, beautifully referencing a children's story of the bird carrying water in it's beak to put out a forest fire. So apt, powerful, poetic in view of Gaza's children at the hands of the murderous Israeli state and IDF.

As the person who awarded the Honorary Doctorate to Pep Guardiola on behalf of @OfficialUoM not only could you hear a pin drop while he was speaking but he got a heartfelt standing ovation from the congregation
It’s not about ideology, it’s about humanity
