@M_Star_Online On page 10 Ramzy Baroud quotes Netanyahu at conference on 28 May gloating over expelling Palestinians step by step from Gaza first from 50% strip now from 60% soon to be from 70%, all the while blocking essential food and medical supplies
@M_Star_Online There’s a diabolical likeness between the pieces on pages 10 and 14 of Thursday’s paper
In 80 years ago column

Our comrades - led by Srijan Bhattacharyya and Dr. Sujan Chakraborty of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (both arrested and beaten by the police) - fought to defend the residents near Jadavpur University (Kolkata, West Bengal) who were facing the Bulldozer Raj of the new BJP government in the state. Comrade Srijan's shout, Achi. Amra achi (we are here), resonates across the state, indeed across the world.
We are here.
We are going to fight like hell to defend humanity.
We fight, we win.

What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
We will be commemorating the life of legendary Communist and former General Secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain, Comrade Harry Pollitt, in the town of his birth, Droylsden on Sunday 28 June.
All welcome to join🚩
