I'm crying with Egyptians right now because they're leaving this World Cup with their heads held high, as they absolutely should. They were the better team for large stretches of that game, barring the final ten minutes, where decisions once again swung unfairly against them.
I'm crying with the rest of Africa too. Because the pattern is impossible to ignore. Fouls overlooked. Officiating one-sided. And a growing frustration that African teams are consistently on the wrong end of these moments.
At this point, it's no longer a coincidence, it's a pattern. The theory that FIFA want Argentina in the latter stages of the last two World Cups is no longer a conspiracy. It's a conclusion drawn from repeated evidence. There's simply no other way to explain the imbalance.
Gianni Infantino and the rest of FIFA's decision-makers should be ashamed of themselves. Deeply ashamed. Because what we witnessed tonight wasn't football. It was a rigged spectacle. And the world saw it.
VAR didn't review two clear fouls inside the Argentinian box (against Egypt players) before Enzo Fernández's goal. Why? A foul on Martínez overturned Egypt's second goal. Why does the treatment have to be so one-sided? This is completely unfair. FIFA, be ashamed. Be genuinely ashamed. This is Robbery. Egypt have been robbed.
I’m a Jew and I feel pretty safe.
Two things make me feel unsafe:
1. The sadistic unending murder of Palestinian civilians by Israel, supported by US,UK, Canada etc.
2. The attacks from other Jews, meant to silence me (and everyone).
Those 2 things stop, I feel 100% safer.
@PalestineNW Please remember, guys, that Kibbutz be'eri is a military village. Population of only 1,047 people. There's central communication. That's why Hamas targeted this area, because most of them were militias and their families.
‘ISRAELI SETTLERS, TRUE EDITION’
In this Thread🧵I’ll post Israeli Settlers assaults and violations against Peaceful Palestinians, All of these videos were Before Oct 7 and Were not in Gaza
Get ready to witness what’s HIDDEN
-IT’S TIME TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH-
🚨Released Israeli hostages explode at Netanyahu:
"We were terribly afraid that not Hamas but Israel would kill us & then say: Hamas killed you"
"[Hostages] were under constant threat from the IDF shelling"
"[IDF] helicopter shot at us"
Several shouted at Netanyahu "Shame"🧵
Here’s a personal story about Palestinian child prisoners:
- In 2012, I was arrested in Hebron while participating in a march to open Shuhada street, which was a main market street for Palestinians until the Israeli military shut it down, and made it for Israeli settlers only. It’s part of the area @JamaalBowmanNY visited.
- Handcuffed and blinded by pepper spray, and thrown in the back of an Israeli humvee after my head was slammed against it, the soldiers drive off. They suddenly stop, run out, and all I hear is a child screaming and crying.
- This child is then thrown on top of me, and is handcuffed. I ask him his age, he said 13. I asked him what happened, he says he was walking to his sister’s house and they just stopped and picked him up. He’s in panic mode crying “my sister cooked lunch for me, she’ll be terrified if I’m lost”. I tell him not to worry, we’ll make it out and give him the basic tips: You have a right to remain silent, don’t say anything without a lawyer…etc.
- We get to the Israeli military outpost, we’re dragged out of the humvee. The kid’s terrified, telling them not to blind him (He thought I was blinded because of the pepper spray, I couldn’t open my eyes).
- The smack the kid around and tell him to shut up.
- We wait a bit, then kid is called in for interrogation.
- The Israeli military interrogator literally tells him: I’ll let you go home, you just need to confirm the guy with you led the protest and told you to throw the stones at us.
- Kid says I want to call my family/lawyer. Interrogator says ok: Picks up mobile and gives it to kid. Kid puts in his mother’s number. Soldier snatches mobile. The mother answers. Soldier says: Your son is going to go to jail and if he doesn’t talk I’ll come and arrest you too. Puts it on speaker, mother is panicking. Kid starts to panic. Soldier hangs up in her face.
- Soldier tells kid: I can make your family’s life hell. But if you say what I told you to say, everything will be ok.
- Kid starts sobbing and says: But I don’t know this guy I just met him in the humvee when you picked me up. Sitting outside the room, I yell: Kid, stay strong, say your truth and don’t fall into his lies.
- They come and take me away. Thirty minutes later kid comes out of interrogation shaken. He says the soldier told him he’d shoot his mother. The poor child told me not to worry though, he only said the truth 🥺.
- The case brought against this poor kid was stone throwing, with two soldiers “testifying” they saw him throw a stone.
- He spent 3 months in prison as court hearings kept getting delayed, eventually he was advised by his lawyer to “admit” to stone throwing because that way he’d spend less time in prison because the lawyer could be able to negotiate his release in 4 months, while waiting for a ruling from Israel’s military courts could take a year.
- In short, working on this issue in Palestine for 12 years, I can tell you the majority of child arrests in Palestine follow this exact pattern:
- Israel wants to teach a Palestinian community a lesson, deterring people from protesting its oppression.
- It targets the kids, arresting dozens - up to 700 a year.
- Majority of kids get abused and interrogated.
- Lawyers and kids know it’s better to “confess” even if they didn’t do the crime, as waiting for a ruling and being in uncertainty/limbo is hell. That’s why you have a 95% conviction rate.
- Then the Israeli government, when challenged for the systematic abuse, comes out and says: “These kids are terrorists - they attacked our soldiers and admitted to it.”
- And because the lives of Palestinian children don’t matter, the world turns a blind eye again and again and again and again.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer: You knew that there were innocent civilians in that refugee camp, right?
IDF spox: This is the tragedy of war. We told them to move south.
Blitzer: So you decided to drop the bomb anyway.
IDF spox: We’re doing everything we can to minimize civilian deaths.
Stop calling it a war. Gaza is not a state. Gaza is colonised territory, under siege by a nuclear power. Hamas is not an army. Hamas is a resistance movement. Colonised people have the right to armed resistance under international law. Call it what it is: Israel waging genocide.
I mean…they keep telling yall the truth but some of you don’t want to hear it because it doesn’t fit into the nice little narrative box you’ve made for yourself.
