In Gaza, Israel burned both people and land with white phosphorus while much of the world looked away.
Today, the same scenes are unfolding in Lebanon before the eyes of the world, yet meaningful action remains absent.
Players denied entry .
Officials denied entry .
Referees denied entry.
Now they're denying fans entry.
The U.S was a terrible choice to host the world cup.
Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel was forced to bomb Iran in order to “prevent a nuclear attack on Israel.”
This man will not stop until he starts a world war.
Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
Israeli minister calls for kidnapping of Lebanese women and children to break Hezbollah morale
——
Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged the political-security cabinet to abduct and imprison Lebanese women and children as a psychological warfare tactic against Hezbollah, according to a closed-door leak published by Hebrew news outlet Walla.
During a high-level ministerial meeting reviewing expanded military calculations, Ben-Gvir demanded that Tel Aviv abandon conventional strategy and explicitly target the social and familial core of the Lebanese resistance network.
"We must think outside the box regarding Hezbollah," Ben-Gvir asserted to his fellow cabinet members, according to the report. The Israeli minister added that alongside occupying southern territory and intensifying lethal strikes on personnel, Israeli forces should actively round up civilians.
"We should arrest their women and children and take them to prison; this is what hurts them the most," he stated.
Thank you to the survivors of the USS Liberty for traveling to Washington DC on the 59th anniversary of the attack.
Your courage to express the facts is the reason the tragedy of the USS Liberty will not be forgotten.
It was an honor to host you and to speak on your behalf.
Suddenly all the people who cared about human rights when Russia and Qatar hosted the world cup and suddenly quiet. .. No fancy documentary from the BBC on immigrants rights. No expose on Crime in inner cities (as we saw in South Africa)
Just silence.
