🚨 The journalist: “What do you think about Lamine Yamal’s actions yesterday during FC Barcelona’s league title celebrations, and should a player avoid interfering in matters unrelated to football?”
Pep Guardiola: “And should you also avoid interfering in things that are not your specialty? You are here to ask me about tomorrow’s match against Crystal Palace F.C..
Despite that, I will answer your question..... A football player is a role model followed by millions, and his opinion is influential, so he should express his opinion when necessary.
What would you do if you found your wife and children under the rubble of homes like them there? Would you come here to the press conference to talk about a player wearing a shirt and running after a ball?? Of course not!!
You do not choose the topics we want to talk about, so those are things outside your specialty. Lamine’s stance is something he should be proud of — he has now become the talk of the world.”
By putting the EU-Israel trade deal before human life, the EU puts profit before people. Italy and Germany continue to block the suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
But change is vital. One million people in Europe, 75 NGOs, 400 diplomats and officials, Belgium, Ireland, Slovenia and Spain are calling for the suspension of the EU-Israel trade agreement.

Demand @giorgiameloni and @bundeskanzler show integrity and stop greenlighting Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and unlawful occupation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and apartheid over all Palestinians.
Humanity must win.
Israeli strike kills infant girl in Lebanon while she is at her father's funeral

And ask yourself, when is it enough?
How much more depravity must we witness until there is accountability?
When does Israeli impunity end?
We must speak up against this insanity

Nothing can reverse the horrific consequences of explosive weapons on children - lost lives, injuries, disabilities, psychological wounds and emotional toll.
That’s why we must continue calling on governments to end their use in populated areas. Join us by sharing this message.
Ask an American about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
A substantial portion will tell you it was necessary.
Tragic, but necessary.
It ended the war.
It saved lives.
Hard choices in impossible circumstances.
Now ask them how they would feel if another country had done it to an American city.
Watch the framework collapse in real time.
Suddenly "necessary" is not a category that applies.
Suddenly there are no hard choices and impossible circumstances.
Suddenly it is simply: a crime. An act of war. An atrocity.
This is not hypocrisy in the ordinary sense.
This is a two-tiered moral universe so deeply internalized that most people living inside it cannot see the structure at all.
Violence done to Americans is atrocity by definition.
Violence done by Americans requires context. Requires understanding. Requires a discussion of the strategic situation.
This is the psychological furniture.
This is what empire builds inside the people who benefit from it.
And it is almost invisible from the inside.
EU citizens should sign this European Citizens' Initiative to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement (=free trade). This is a powerful constitutional tool, which at 1 mil signatures forces EU bodies to take action (see ⬇️). It's already at 750,000.

Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began.
Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks.
Civilians are #NotATarget.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
Bad Bunny walked out in a #64 jersey with “OCASIO” on the back.
Not Bad Bunny.
Not Benito.
His real name.
His family name.
Then he grabbed the mic and said:
“My name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. And if today I’m here at the Super Bowl, it’s because I never, never stopped believing in myself.”
In Spanish.
No translation.
Even the jumbotron was in Spanish.
And I watched the whole thing with a translator on.
Because the message was that important to me.
They said he was “un-American.”
They said nobody would understand him.
They said having him perform was “ridiculous.”
And he SHOWED OUT!
He brought out Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
He staged a wedding on the field.
He recreated a bodega.
He gave us a whole scene of family and love.
He humanized an entire culture on the world’s biggest stage.
All in his native language.
And he didn’t flinch.
His lyrics were clear messages:
“They want to take the river from me, and the beach too. They want my neighborhood and for my grandma to leave.”
“I should have taken more photos when I had you. Hopefully my loved ones will never move.”
And that last line:
“Ojalá que los míos nunca se muden.”
Hopefully my loved ones will never move.
That’s about families being separated.
Forced to leave.
Displacement.
Yeah, he didn’t chase the mainstream.
He made the mainstream come to him.
He put his family name on his back and told 120 million people exactly who he is.
And I’m here for ALL of it!👏🏽
✊ Athletic stands with Palestine. #StopTheGenocide 🇵🇸
#Athletic125 ambassador @HoneyThaljieh, Palestinian refugees in the Basque Country, and @UNRWA representatives will receive a show support at San Mames before Saturday's match against @RCD_MallorcaEN kicks off
🚨🚨 Confirmado: La FIFA ha dado la razón al Athletic y al jugador. Ibaigane ha podido demostrar que la documentación entró cuatro minutos antes del cierre del mercado.
