Palestine may not have made it to the World Cup, but Bosnia and Herzegovina fans are making sure it is always present, whether in Canada, the U.S. or football stadiums everywhere.
Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:
“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego.
For nothing.
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL
UK defence secretary John Healey has resigned after criticising the prime minister for not committing to more spending on war and weapons.
The question now for Healey is why he didn’t resign over his involvement in the Gaza genocide: https://t.co/EWSQRwOTRK
EXCLUSIVE: Reform MSP Thomas Kerr has been condemned for using 'racist rhetoric' and calling for further anti-immigration 'protests' after far-right disorder in Glasgow https://t.co/OKQvHjtMyZ
🧵1/5 The appalling scenes of xenophobic violence that broke out on June 9 in #Belfast are a frightening reminder of how normalized racism and organized racist violence have become in the UK.
A devastating knife attack should never be used to justify more violence. Human Rights Watch’s thoughts are with all the victims of violence.

"Trojan Horses takes the real life story of Russian interference in British politics and the steaming corruption and indifference around it and twists it into an epic Greek tragi-comedy. By turns poetic, infuriating and unmissable."

Taking to the stage again, for the first time in years, on 23 June, EU referendum 10th anniversary
This distils over a decade of my work on Brexit, Trump, Russia - but hopefully in an entertaining way, with an amazing cast
Remember when Google started with ‘do no evil’
It’s the structure of tech monopolies, the overweening concentration of power and money, that ends up with Musk and Thiel thinking they’re supermen, and we’re nobodies.
It’s the economy, stupid
This article documents the links between the Kremlin and multiple Nazi groups across Europe.
When those bastards accuse Ukraine of supposed Nazism it's pure projection.

🔴 Keir Starmer's Defence secretary John Healey has resigned!
➡️ But what will Healey's legacy be?..🤔
It should be the fact that he provided the Israeli war machine with intelligence gathered from RAF drones flying over Gaza, throughout the genocide! 😤
#Complicit ⬅️
.@JohnHealey_MP is one of world’s most heinous war criminals
He ordered UK spy flights over Gaza for over a year
The intel gathered was handed to genocidal Israeli military in real-time
@IntlCrimCourt cannot let him escape accountability for his crimes
“The truth is that the global far right have spent the past few years using a billionaire-owned social media platform to deliberately whip up racist violence on Britain’s streets and now they are finally starting to succeed.”

BREAKING: "Greater Israel" is now marketed in London. Like in Montreal and in New York.
Apartheid without borders.
P.S. This explains why criticism of Israel is being restricted (and "anti-antisemitism" laws keep appearing). Apartheid is not only a crime. It is a business model.
The criminal cartel that is the Trump administration is banning referees, doing full-body searches and detaining players upon arrival in the US for the World Cup.
The Iranian team has been accused of being a nuclear threat to the US. They are having to stay in Mexico, and travel to the US to play!
