It’s very sad they you have been fed such terrible nonsense by the media. But what’s sadder is that you are prepared to believe it and spread it yourself. A simple look at the maths - the numbers of combatants killed - shows ratio of civilians killed to be around 1:1, unheard of in modern conflict. But the fact that you never even questioned why you never saw one media image of a killed Hamas combatant in Gaza… not one… and you never even questioned it? Maybe it’s time to rethink what you “know”?
It’s time for Europe to get it straight.
Jews are not attacked because of the State of Israel.
Israel is attacked because it is the Jewish state.
Speaking tonight on @negocios_tv thanks to @Spokesoffice.
Sunderland’s starting XI in their joyous, season-ending 2-1 victory over listless Chelsea cost the same as £106m Enzo Fernandez. This is no slight on a world champion, an elite attacking midfielder, full of craft and craftiness, if moody at times. This is simply a celebration of Sunderland’s exceptional recruitment, finding gems who can see - and seize - the opportunity at the Stadium of Light.
This is also a celebration of Regis Le Bris’ remarkable team-building, blending and bonding qualities which have guided a side promoted via the play-offs into seventh and Europe. For those of us who thought Sunderland would go straight back down, apologies and enjoy Europe. You deserve it. A well-run football operation deserves it. That backing from stands to boardroom deserves it. Football also deserves it: a reminder that the status quo can be challenged with shrewd planning and investment and hard work.
Of Le Bris’ starting XI against Chelsea, eight joined on the eve of the season and one in the winter window: Roefs a reported £9m from Nijmegen; Mukiele £9.5m from PS-G; Reinaldo free from Atletico Madrid; Geertruida loan from RB Leipzig; Le Fee £19.3m, loan made permanent from Roma; Xhaka £13m from Bayer Leverkusen; Sadiki £15m from Union St-Gilloise; Angulo £17.5m from Anderlecht (in February); and seven-goal Brobbey £21.6m from Ajax. Two 2025 arrivals came off the bench: Diarra £30m from Strasbourg; and Isidor £5m loan made permanent from Zenit St-Petersburg (in February 2025).
Three of the 14 involved were already at the club. The starting pair of: Hume £200,000 from Linfield in 2022; and O’Nien undisclosed but reported as £200,000 to £300,000 from Wycombe Wanderers in 2018. And the sub: Rigg from Sunderland’s academy. (The £105.5m total does not include the undisclosed loan fees).
When Sunderland won 2-1 at the Bridge in October, Le Bris’ starting XI cost only £75m (and also had the important Ballard, £2m from Arsenal in 2022). Chelsea’s starting XI was £433m.
Four miles from the Bridge, on Park Lane this evening, the League Managers Association celebrates its members’ many achievements this season. Le Bris certainly deserves a mention. Mixing old and many new players, and getting new signings to settle quickly, requires real people skills. Le Bris and his staff clearly have them.
It’s also a reflection on Sunderland’s family club reputation that so many newcomers are welcomed and assimilated so quickly. Some will move on, some will be moved on but what a journey this is across England - and soon Europe. #SAFC
@d_r_jones47@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice No. I just happen to have worked with him… and know exactly where that wrong quote comes from and know it was made up by sad numpties like you who have to fake history and facts to make their pointless arguments work.
@d_r_jones47@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice Ethnic cleansing??? The Palestinian population has grown since 1948…. Not sure you know what ethnic cleansing or genocide is.
@d_r_jones47@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice Shall we have some fun. Let’s just take President Herzog. Find me when and where he said that… cos I know for a fact that’s not what he said.
@d_r_jones47@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice Let’s pretend any of these are actually massacres. I wonder why you don’t start with 1929 Hebron massacre of Jews. Or the 1920 Nebi Musa riots? Or indeed the attacks against Israel that led to any of the Gaza operations…. You can pick your history but it doesn’t make you right.
@d_r_jones47@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice Care to elaborate? Which came first? Attacks on Jews or Israel fighting against the attacks on Jews? Asking for a friend.
@MartynGoodman@negocios_tv@Spokesoffice Ok. So… don’t comment. It’s gonna mess with your algorithm. Try watching more Coronation Street bloopers. Oooh or Love Island. That’s great that is.
