The Iranian football team is only allowed to arrive in the US 24 hours before their matches and required to leave shortly after — despite all their matches being played in the US.
Imagine if this had happened to a North American or European team. There would be outrage. But in this situation, FIFA simply shrugs.
FIFA is a pathetic excuse for an international football organisation.
Israel bombed a residential building and killed five more people tonight in Gaza City, including three children. Israel has killed more than a thousand Palestinians in Gaza since a supposed ceasefire.
Israel is dumping and burning waste in the occupied West Bank near Palestinian towns, in a practice described as environmental colonialism. The practice has raised growing concerns about the health risks facing Palestinians as cancer rates rise, children are born with congenital birth defects, and Palestinian workers are injured while handling hazardous materials.
Dr. Muhammed Jamil Farajallah, an internal medicine and cardiology specialist at Hebron Governmental Hospital, said he has observed a doubling of cancer cases over the past two decades, particularly lung and bladder cancers.
He added that "high levels of toxic lead seeping into the soil, along with emissions from waste burning that spread through the air, including carbon monoxide, have all contributed to cancers affecting the lungs, bladder, bones, brain, and blood."
“They knew exactly who Mona Khalil was.
They knew the bright orange house in Mansouri, south Lebanon. They knew it was not a military site, not a command center, not a battlefield position. It was one of the most recognizable symbols of environmental conservation on Lebanon's southern coast; a sanctuary dedicated to protecting endangered sea turtles and preserving life.”

So if you apply this logic to the 4,000 citizens of Lebanon that Israel has killed in their invasion, you’d have to ask how the US would react to an invading force killing 235,000 Americans, many of them women and children.
You really don’t want to do this calculation for Gaza.
This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.
The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.
This family’s tent got bombed by the military occupation in the Tuffah area, near the yellow line. They suddenly found themselves with almost nothing, and sent The Sameer Project an appeal. Help now: https://t.co/1j2S3RoAgU
Tent distributions are halted due to lack of funds but we make some exceptions due to the severity of the cases. The Sameer Project immediately mobilized to help this family with shelter. On June 18th, we provided a tent, food parcel, hygiene package, 2 mattresses and 2 blankets to the family. Total cost with 11% commission was $330.
Shelter is a huge issue in Gaza right now as thousands live in makeshift tents or old torn tents. Many Palestinians have been living in tents for over two years now.

The world should be ashamed that millions are being spent on the World Cup while Palestinians in Gaza are queuing for hours for a bucket of water. What has the world come to?
Help give water to Gaza here: https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX
The Sameer Project is dedicated to providing water everyday to different camps in Gaza. We also send water trucks to North Gaza to areas like Jabalia and Beit Lahia where most organizations wouldn’t venture.
Palestinians in Gaza are disappointed with the world, rightfully so, but let’s provide the bare minimum which is donations for basic needs. Please donate now to our Food & Water Campaign: https://t.co/6l9JFjWInX

Allow me to correct a few things.
First, "Israel" is not some vulnerable state that emerged organically in the region. It is a settler colonial project established under British patronage and sustained for decades by unprecedented Western political, military, and financial support, enabling nearly eight decades of occupation, displacement, war and ethnic cleansing, which evetually resulted in a Gaza genocide.
Second, if we're talking about a "tiny country that has spent decades facing enemies committed to its destruction," that description fits Lebanon far better than the Israeli entity. Lebanon has endured repeated invasions, occupations, massacres, bombardments, assassinations, and territorial violations at the hands of a heavily armed military power. The evidence is not hypothetical; it is documented in photographs, videos, UN reports, and historical records.
And here is the question that supporters of "Israel" never seem willing to answer:
If "Israel" has the right to treat the protection of its citizens as its highest obligation, why does the Resistance in Jabal Amel not have the same right to protect the people of South Lebanon, especially when the Lebanese state historically lacked the means to defend them from repeated invasions and occupation?
Look at the map.
Who invaded whom?
Who crossed internationally recognized borders?
Who bombed villages, cities, schools, hospitals, and civilian infrastructure?
Who advanced tens of kilometers into whose territory?
And for what purpose?
The irony is that we are constantly asked to understand Israel's "security concerns" while being told to ignore Lebanon's lived experience of invasion, occupation, and destruction.
A population defending its land from a foreign military incursion is not the anomaly in this story. The anomaly is expecting them not to resist.
Los hallazgos de @elfoco_pe y @Ojo_Publico sobre las elecciones en Perú son sumamente preocupantes.
Revelan indicios de posible injerencia extranjera en el proceso electoral peruano a través de redes sociales, pauta digital, cuentas coordinadas y empresas extranjeras.

An Israeli army reservist, Eitan Gilboa, appears to have left India shortly after a complaint was filed by the Hind Rajab Foundation accusing him of war crimes related to the demolition of civilian homes in Gaza.
The complaint sought his arrest under India’s Geneva Conventions Act, revealing that he documented and celebrated destruction in Khan Younis and Rafah during Israel’s war in Gaza.
The foundation said India has so far shown only a limited response, despite being legally obligated to act under international law.
Israeli terrorist forces deliberately targeted and murdered Mona Khalil, a renowned conservationist who saved sea turtles near Tyre
Israel is poisoning farmland, destroying villages and killing everyone connected to the land of southern Lebanon
It is called ethnic cleansing

After losing her eldest son, this mother is doing what she can to care for her daughters in a genocide. Community kitchens and water dropped significantly in the last few weeks leaving families in Gaza scrambling to survive.
This is why mutual aid is crucial during this time when international organizations have failed Gaza. The Sameer Project provides food and water everyday, scaling up or down according to funds.
On June 16th, the Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project provided 485 meals to Ansar 5 Camp in Gaza City. The mujaddara (lentils and rice) meals cost around $881 with 11% commission.

This morning Israeli defense minister Israel Katz said
“We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again.”
These psychos truly believe they should be allowed to render 200,000 people homeless and no one should be allowed to fight back.

Israel killed Mona Khalil in South Lebanon.
On June 6, they dropped a bomb on her home in Mansouri — flattening it.
Mona, an environmental activist, dedicated her life to protecting endangered sea turtles along Lebanon’s coast.
She died of her injuries today.
