Using phrasing like "Iran-backed Houthi rebels" — but not "US-backed Zionist settlers" when describing Israel is the hallmark of a biased, imperialist rag.
Forget politics — just from a linguistic viewpoint, what a bloody mouthful. Who wants to read that nonsense?
This woman reports that her little niece was kidnapped last night. She has been appealing to the public to help her share this video incase someone may have seen the little girl.
Please help share this video.
Let’s help find this innocent little baby.
You cannot whitewash conduct that violates FIFA regulations and breaches the United States’ host obligations merely by praising yourselves.
Why do you not say that visas were denied to a large portion of the managerial and executive staff, technical advisers, and others who are an integral part of any national football team?
You have now escalated the deliberate and discriminatory treatment against Iran’s national football team to its highest level.
By extending your whimsical hostilities against the Iranian nation into the realm of sport, the U.S. government in practice is depriving Iran’s national team of its right to play in the World Cup under normal conditions and without undue pressure and stress.
This represents the worst possible form of politically biased interference in sport.
FIFA must hold the US accountable for violations of its rules and for the discriminatory treatment of Iran's national football team.
If Israel was created in Alaska, no Palestinians or Arabs would've objected!
The issue is NOT Jewish statehood, the issue is building a state on top of OUR land, stealing OUR homes, properties, assets, farms, culture, & olive trees then caging us in concentration camps!
Norway said that they are not going to play in World Cup in Qatar even if they qualified (they didn’t). Denmark left it until the last minute to confirm their participation in the World Cup 2022Germany forced their players to make political statements before the match in FIFA WC 2022 even though some players didn’t want to do it.
BBC literally disrupted the coverage of one of the best opening ceremonies of the World Cup in Qatar just for virtue signaling.
but for World Cup 2026, the whole media is silent other than a few token articles here and there and Norway and Germany aren’t protesting anything when there’s so much to protest about 🤡
being a brown person in the Middle East is accepting a faith worse than death surrendering what’s left of your powerless will to a sky that has now resembles only the opposite of freedom and salvation under a complicit world that watches in consenting silence.
Not many people talk about this.
For many, it has become a grim reality, something they feel powerless to stop.
Yet 2 million people are living through unimaginable suffering.
The tragedy is not only in the suffering itself, but in how easily the world seems able to look away, as if their lives are worthless, as if their blood is cheap.
I am talking about the daily Israeli slaughter of Gaza.
Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.
Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.
Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.
Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.
At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.
This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.
What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.
"Khalil was killed by the third of three successive Israeli airstrikes."
"The first strike hit a car driving in front of her, the second destroyed her car as she hid nearby, and the third collapsed the building where she had taken shelter with another journalist."
If those were Arabs invading & rampaging through a Jewish town, those pics would be all over mainstream media with the captions "TERRORISTS SAVAGES"...
But those are Jewish Israelis invading a Palestinian town, so there is NOT even a passing mention of them in any Western media!
Palestinian filmmakers have risked their lives and been targeted by Israeli forces and settlers for sharing their stories and participating in film festivals and recognitions. Fatima Hassouna, a photojournalist and the documentary subject of the documentary about her life, “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk,” was killed in an Israeli air strike targeting her family home in Gaza City on April 16, 2025, just one day after the 2025 Cannes Film Festival announced the film as an official selection.
Documentarian Awdah Hathaleen, a narrator, producer, and consultant on the Oscar-winning documentary “No Other Land,” was shot in the chest and lungs by Israeli settler and bulldozer driver Yinon Levi in Umm Al-Khair, Hebron (West Bank) when Levi fired a handgun toward village residents, killing Hathaleen on July 28, 2025. Israeli forces infiltrated the planned funeral of Hathaleen the next day to snatch his body and arrest 14 Palestinians from his village. An Israeli court upheld Levi’s claims of self-defense — ultimately, Palestinian funeral participants served more time than Hathaleen’s killer did.
Routinely, Palestinians are tortured and killed for even acknowledging the brutality of their circumstances. And those who support the continuation of the brutality against Palestinians are granted impunity, even encouragement.
@Tribeca you say you are “aware of the concerns raised” regarding those who would use their platforms — amplified by your festival — to laugh at and mock the torture of Palestinians. Permitting them to do so with impunity, with zero consequences, reinforces the dehumanization and devaluation of Palestinian life.
While the world enjoys food and plenty, we suffer from hunger and struggle for survival. All we ask for is a basic human right: to live in dignity and to find enough to satisfy our hunger.
