Os Estados Unidos na copa já impediram uma seleção (irã) de dormir no país-sede. Já deportaram sem explicação o melhor árbitro africano. Já mantiveram preso para interrogatório por 7 horas o craque de uma seleção (Iraque).

Se fosse na China ou na Rússia, a mídia chamaria de ditadura.

Mas, é na “terra da liberdade”.

Hi @Nigel_Farage now you’re doing press again, maybe tell us about the house in Clacton, the £5m, your friend Nathan Gill, the nature of your relationship with Lois Perry, why you lied about not taking MP surgeries, why you’ve gone so quiet about your friendship with Donald Trump, why you seem to hate female journalists, why your vetting is so poor…

I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.

🚨🇬🇧 Look, Lucy Connolly is not the brightest button, so let's help her understand why she went to prison for her tweet, and why Bushra will not go to prison for her's.

Bushra Shaikh is not saying: “Go and burn white people’s houses down.”

She is making a sarcastic point about the racist double standard at the heart of these riots.

When a Muslim, Black, brown, or migrant man commits a crime, the far-right does not just blame the individual. They blame the whole community. They march on mosques. They attack hotels. They threaten families. They burn infrastructure. They turn one person’s alleged crime into a licence for collective punishment.

When a white man commits a crime, nobody asks whether we should burn down white neighbourhoods, attack white families, or terrorise random white people in retaliation.

Why?

Because most of us understand the basic moral principle here: individuals are responsible for their own crimes. Communities are not collectively guilty because of the race, religion, or immigration status of an offender.

That is Bushra’s point.

Lucy Connolly’s tweet was different.

She did not ask a sarcastic question exposing the absurdity of collective punishment. She targeted migrant hotels - the exact infrastructure already being demonised by the far-right - and wrote: “Set fire to all the fvcking hotels full of the bastards for all I care.”

And then mobs did exactly that.

That is not a clever point about hypocrisy. That is not anti-racism. That is not “free speech absolutism.”

It is language directed at a vulnerable out-group, in a volatile real-world context, approving or encouraging the destruction of the places they were living.

Bushra’s post says: “Why don’t you apply your own logic when the offender is white?”

Lucy’s post said: “Burn down the hotels full of migrants.”

If you can’t see the difference, I can't help you.

Netanyahu asks Lebanese if they remember the days when Lebanon was called the “Pearl of the Middle East.”

We do.

We also remember who invaded Lebanon in 1982, besieged Beirut, occupied the south for nearly two decades, bombed our cities, carried out massacres, assassinations & repeated wars.

Interesting how Hezbollah is blamed for everything, including Lebanon’s decline, while the Israeli invasion, occupation & destruction that predated Hezbollah’s very existence are simply erased from the story.

Hezbollah did not invade Lebanon. Israel did.

Hezbollah did not create the occupation. Hezbollah emerged because of it.

You also speak as though Hezbollah is not Lebanese. Whether one supports it or opposes it, Hezbollah represents a significant segment of Lebanese society. It has MPs in parliament, ministers in government, & a constituency that cannot simply be wished out of existence. Millions of Lebanese cannot be erased because that makes for a more convenient Israeli political narrative.

The arrogance of telling Lebanese to “free themselves” from other Lebanese while Israeli forces occupy Lebanese territory & Israeli aircraft violate Lebanese airspace daily is difficult to miss.

You speak as though Lebanon’s problems began with Hezbollah & Iran. That is historically illiterate at best & deliberately dishonest at worst.

Lebanon has suffered from corruption, sectarianism, foreign intervention & political failure. But it has also endured repeated Israeli invasions, occupations, bombardments, assassinations & wars long before Hezbollah became a major force.

And now the man whose military has spent months bombing Lebanese towns, flattening homes, killing civilians, displacing entire communities & threatening the country with “another Gaza” wants to present himself as a concerned friend of the Lebanese people.

The audacity is staggering. It would be impressive were it not so grotesque. The historical revisionism is even worse.

You must be getting desperate if this is the story you are trying to sell.

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

This is possibly the saddest thing I've seen in a long time..an immigrant nurse talking about fleeing her home..she saved her UNIFORM. So she could still WORK for our communities.

I'd fill this country with a thousand of this woman than one of those good for nothing thugs.
God help this poor woman.

[Brian McDonald @BrianMcDonaldIE]

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Do you know how insane it is to report on Israel, whose army is inside Lebanon actively flattening entire villages, claiming Hezbollah firing is a violation of a "ceasefire?"

[HUMAN WA$TE @Dplanet]

🚨🇬🇧 A white police officer handcuffed Henry Nowak as he bled to death, told him he hadn't been stabbed, and arrested him as he died.

Britain is furious. People want him named, investigated, charged. The anger has a target, and the target is the man who did it.

Now imagine that officer had been Muslim.

The blame wouldn't have stopped at him. It would have found the mosques, the corner shops, the women in hijabs who were nowhere near Southampton. And Farage, Lowe and Robinson would have pointed the way.

We don't have to imagine. Southport: a rumour the killer was Muslim - just a rumour - and a mosque was under attack within a day.

Now tell me about two-tier anything.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

The British government is saying they're banning me because I am "a serious risk to the public order" due to my criticism of Israel.

They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don't know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.

I didn't get banned for criticizing the UK, but for criticizing Israel. They broke the irony record by saying it was because I said Israel might control other governments. I wonder if they're going to ban themselves.

Think about it - if I had said that the Israeli government controls the British government so thoroughly that they'll ban someone from coming to the UK just for criticizing Israel, they would have said that was an antisemitic statement. This is absolutely Kafkaesque.

[Alex 🇵🇸🇱🇧 @foleywoley]

I have watched Israel decapitate children, burn people alive, rape people to death, maul a disabled man to death with dogs, bomb schools, starve an entire population, and shoot children in the head, but somehow I'm supposed to believe that Ben-Gvir's actions "aren't the spirit of Israel."

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Another day, another rabidly idiotic statement. There is truly no overstating how much of a walking disaster Kallas is for Europe.

Yesterday she called China a "disease" for Europe (specifically "cancer"), and now she's saying the EU can't have a Middle East strategy because - brace yourselves - there's just too much going on there.

This comes among hundreds similarly idiotic statements - basically every time she opens her mouth.

When you choose people like this to be your voice to the world, you deserve every ounce of irrelevance and mockery coming your way.

[Jack D 🏳️‍🌈 @JackDunc1]

Yo reform voters, your entire life is a lie. Migration has plummetted and we're all worse off than ever. Why? because 'small boats' has never been the problem. The rich always have.

[Sam Hersh @SamHersh01]

If you're so appalled stop sending them weapons.

[ruva🌼 @ruviexo]

And it’s made no difference to any of our lives so it’s almost like immigration was never the problem?

ALARM!
How on earth is possible that Israel is allowed to assault and seize vessels in international waters just off Greece/Europe? Besides what you can think of Apartheid Israel and its genocidal leaders, this should send shock waves across Europe.

Apartheid without borders.
