I honestly hate that we've normalized the idea that all opinions are valid. I think we should get back to telling people that they are ill informed & ignorant
Reminder that as the world watches the world cup, the actual world is burning.
Gaza is still being wiped out, with even the Egyptian representative who was organizing the watch parties murdered by Israel in what appears to be a sick form of retaliation for the coach of the national team holding up the flag and cause of Palestine at the world cup. Lebanon is still under attack and an expanding occupation. And another round of stupidity and recklessness of the Iran war is now going to lead to even more casualties. All along, so many of the African nations, even if represented on the field, carry the weight of generations of exploitation.
Just be careful not to let the spectacle make you forget the suffering, the silenced, and the systems that keep crushing them.
May Allah keep our hearts awake, our eyes open, and our actions guided. May He protect the innocent and oppressed all around, and make an example of their oppressors. Ameen
If you are born into a family with financial security l actually think dedicating your life to actively trying to help people is probably the best you could do.
🚨🇮🇱 NEW: Israel today killed the public relations director of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza, an hour before the Argentina-Egypt World Cup match
The committee had been responsible for organising public screenings of the World Cup across Gaza

hossam hassan was born in 1966, he witnessed the israeli occupation of egypt when he was growing up. they’re taunting a nation with the colonisers who committed massacres against their people. this is a hate crime but it won’t be treated as such.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
If 3 Black people took a White man on a boat expedition and didn’t return with him the president would be making a speech right now.

Already saw a white person post 'please wait for the facts.'
Here's a fact: if my friend went missing on an island I'd still be on that fucking island.
I'm tired of seeing underdogs get robbed off of wins due to incompetent officiating and seeing people say it was a good game because the favourite played with 12 men.
No, it was not a good game. It is anti football, and everything wrong with it.
They're doing everything well to trick the casuals.
Incredible Egyptian goal is disallowed because of a foul far away, then same situation a few minutes later and goal for Argentina not disallowed! No VAR, nothing? FIFA again looks like a corrupt joke, playing favorites for stars.
I don't mean this as some sort of gotcha for the OP, but really the entire World Cup should have been boycotted the moment the US prevented the Irani team from remaining in the country after every day. We are here precisely because no action was taken there.
