This is what Palestinians have had to endure from a football culture that represents everything the sport should stand against.
This is what sporting bodies have ignored all along.
The question isn’t why Israeli fans are being banned, it’s why this wasn’t stopped long ago.
Dear Columbia: You arrested me, suspended me, and put me through six disciplinary trials for speaking out against the genocide of my people—including for an op-ed—only to face the biggest judgment of all. Don’t you know you’re going to Hell? You already brought Hell to Earth.
Goebbels avrebbe fatto questa pagina, che oggi apre questo foglio spazzatura che pubblica foto dei palestinesi sottoposti alla tortura del cibo da parte dei nazisti israeliani e dà la colpa ad Hamas
Il punto di peggior degrado della stampa italiana dai tempi del nazifascismo
Se si può spiegare in 2 minuti, si può e si deve fermare anche in meno.
Non fatevi intimidire da chi usa Hamas e le accuse di antisemitismo per giustificare DA VENTI MESI questo abominio.
Alzate la voce contro la barbarie di Israele e dei suoi complici occidentali.

18 mesi di massacri indiscriminati, 1 mese di blocco totale degli aiuti, la gente è ridotta a elemosinare cibo tra cumuli di macerie.
Gaza è un campo di concentramento gestito da @israel.

👉 "As Israel believes that Ireland, Iceland and the Netherlands would all enforce the ICC warrant, issued for alleged war crimes in Gaza, the Wing of Zion State plane instead flew over Croatia, #Italy and France".
Un par un.
Un par un, Israël a abattu méthodiquement 15 secouristes à Gaza, les a enterrés dans une fosse commune. Ambulances pulvérisées, corps ligotés.
Un crime indicible et odieux. Un crime de plus.
Un jour l’Union européenne paiera le prix pour son soutien à ce régime.
Ho raccolto qui alcune reazioni del campo "riformista" allo scandalo #IDSF, che vanno studiate come esempi di doppio standard da manuale.
Non c'era nessun obbligo da parte della VP del Parlamento europeo a incontrare una lobby deplorevole. A dirlo non sono io: sono i membri del PD che hanno definito ieri l'Idsf un "think tank di estrema destra... che propugna apertamente le ragioni dei coloni in Cisgiordania, i crimini contro l’umanità perpetrati a Gaza... incompatibili con i valori dell’Ue". Ma soprattutto, immaginate se la lobby in questione fosse stata filo-palestinese radicale o esplicitamente filorussa, quante dissociazioni sarebbero arrivate dopo poco.
Il vittimismo del centro-liberale («gogna amica», «fuoco amico») il corporativismo e i piantini eludono del tutto la volontà degli elettori del PD, ma non eludono la questione etica: una photo opportunity con sorrisi smaglianti con un gruppo di pressione estremista filoisraeliano, della cui presenza non si è saputo niente per mesi, è ritenuta da alcuni segmenti "riformisti" (in realtà gravemente radicalizzati e irrigiditi) come un qualcosa che si può normalizzare.
Al contrario di tante pacate critiche di giornalisti freeelance all'andazzo in politica estera dell'Unione Europea, evidentemente - quelle sì - degne di gogne pubbliche.
One quarter of the Palestinian children killed by the Israeli army in the West Bank since 2000 have been killed after Oct 7. The majority of them have been targeted by snipers who aimed at the children’s torso, head or multiple areas.
If you weren't yet convinced that Europe is stepping into its century of humiliation, that ought to do it
Trump says that the US need Greenland "for national security purposes" and "for the free world", and claims that "people really don't even know if Denmark has any legal right to it" (which is 100% false).
Would he ever dare say this with regards to Chinese or Russian territory? Not in a million years. But he sees that not only is Europe weak but also in the absolutely disastrous strategic situation where it is "defended" by him! Which means that Europe is effectively trapped in a mob-style protection racket and is about to relearn the old geopolitical adage (attributed to Thucydides): "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must".
So many ironies here of course, starting with Trump's claim about protecting the "free world" through territorial annexation.
Second irony is that Europe's hysterical fixation on Russian imperialism - more phantom than reality given Russia's demonstrated capabilities - has led it to sleepwalk into the clutches of an actual empire that now casually discusses carving it up.
Last but not least, probably the bigger irony is that no-one in the whole world is going to care because of Europe's double-standards and hypocrisy in its own dealings with the rest of the world, and Gaza in particular. Since the very beginning of Gaza (and again yesterday: https://t.co/xStRfTlWhT) I wrote that the bigger meaning of Europe's response would be the death of any pretense to an global order based on international law.
And that's exactly where we are. By choosing to openly abandon even the appearance of principles Europe has essentially announced it was ok with "might makes right". A monumentally stupid thing to do when you aren't mighty yourself...
Europe's leaders (if you can call them so), in their eagerness to be "good allies" by supporting the violation of international law in Gaza, have effectively signed their own continent's permission slip for future dismemberment. They've forgotten that principles aren't just moral luxuries - they're practical shields, and once broken for others, they no longer protect you either.
Their forgetting this is especially egregious given Europe's own history. Because we've we've seen this many times before and perhaps the most salient example is the response - or absence thereof - to Mussolini's Italy invading Ethiopia in 1935, which resulted in hundreds of thousands of Ethiopian deaths.
Despite Ethiopia being a member of the League of Nations, the UN-ancestor meant to prevent exactly such aggression, major powers chose to protect their fellow European power rather than uphold international law. With the consequences we all know about: the death of the League of Nations as a credible institution and the clear message to other European powers that hunting season on weaker nations and peoples was officially open. Within a few months afterwards, Hitler started remilitarizing the Rhineland.
The century of humiliation that Europe is walking into has a uniquely self-inflicted quality to it, stemming from its own moral corruption and strategic myopia. Unlike China, which at least could claim to have been blindsided by European imperialism, Europe is actively participating in dismantling the very legal protections that could shield it from stronger powers. Which means it won't even have the moral authority to protest.
Come scrive Enzo Traverso in Gaza davanti alla storia, "combattere l'antisemitismo sarà sempre più difficile dopo averne sfigurato e distorto la natura sfacciatamente".
Oggi il problema non è l'abuso del termine genocidio a Gaza, ma la banalizzazione dell'antisemitismo.
