🚨Breaking: Dr. Hussam Abu-Safeia, director of Kamal Edwan Hospital, is being killed by Israeli Occupation Forces.

Dr. Hussam is heavily tutored, and each time his lawyer visits, new injuries are discovered on him.

His last words to his lawyer were: “They brought me here to kill me; this is my end.”

Israel has already killed Dr. Hussam’s son, and now it’s Dr.Hussam’s turn.

Raise awareness and speak out to help him before it’s too late.

Some people don't seem to understand why everyone is so outraged about the 🇭🇷 Croatia vs. Portugal 🇵🇹 robbery, so let me explain.

It's precisely because multiple things that would have lifted the offside were ignored, multiple things were handled differently than usual, and several suspicious details are present on top of it all.

So it's both the factually false detection of a touch that wasn't there, AND the way it was handled, which raises even more suspicion:

1. Even if Matanović's head 🤯 touched the ball, it didn't change the trajectory -> no offside

2. Even if Matanović's hair 💇‍♂️ touched the ball, hair is excluded in the offside rulebook -> no offside

3. Even if he did touch it with force, Veiga still went for the ball deliberately -> no offside

4. Offside is normally never checked at the screen by the main ref. Normally the VAR sees Veiga's header on the first replay, says "ah, Portugal touched it, no offside," and that's the end of it.

5. No change of trajectory is visible on the ball. Instead of blindly trusting a questionable chip inside the ball, the ref could have trusted his own eyes -> goal stands

6. Letting a minuscule alleged touch that didn't affect the ball overturn one of the craziest goals in World Cup history is suspicious in and of itself. It hints at an agenda or bias by the refs and VAR.

7. The penalty given to Portugal was already a false decision.

8. FIFA using B-tier referees raises the suspicion that they're chosen deliberately: a ref without a big name is more likely to enforce the rules to the letter, out of fear that FIFA won't invite him (and pay him) at the next tournament. A big refereeing name would at least have the courage to decide by feel for the game.

9. Previous games where Ronaldo was already helped by the refereeing.

10. The observation that rules are applied far more strictly against small nations than against the big names.

11. Semi-automated offside tech was sold to us as eliminating human error. Instead, a sensor blip that nobody can see with their own eyes was used to overrule what everybody COULD see. If the technology can't be verified by the footage, the footage should win.

12.FIFA is visibly willing to trade away trust and raw emotion (nobody can celebrate a goal anymore before the check period is over, fans get fed up and stop watching because of this BS) in exchange for control over outcomes, because keeping the biggest names in the tournament as long as possible is what makes their commercial goals easily reachable.

@buff_egan No it’s called being prepared - limited transport options and a very large fan base coming from the largest county in Ireland

@willocallaghan It’s a curse! 👀 🤔

Fun fact: If the number of Irish Allied troops comprised a single army (c. 200,000), it would have been larger or of equivalent size to two Allied powers (Norway, and New Zealand respectively)

The idea that Ireland was pro-Nazi is an ahistorical delusion.

Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.

Elon Musk says that no one died because of his demolition of USAID, and that "Kristof is lying through his teeth." So here I invite him to join me on a visit to Africa to see for himself: https://t.co/TVEoFX8gzj

This is how the BBC reported a doctor being literally raped to death by Israeli forces.

.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.

ROSEMARY NELSON REPORTED DEATH THREATS FOR YEARS THEN A CAR BOMB PROVED HER RIGHT

Rosemary Nelson was a solicitor in Lurgan, Co Armagh. Mostly she did ordinary legal work. Then she started taking the cases other lawyers avoided.

She represented republican suspects.

She represented the family of a Catholic man murdered by a loyalist mob.

She represented a nationalist residents group fighting Orange Order marches through Garvaghy Road.

None of that made her popular with everyone holding a uniform.

By the mid 1990s she was telling anyone who would listen that RUC officers were threatening her during client interviews. She kept reporting it. The system kept noting it down and moving on.

On 15 March 1999 a loyalist car bomb killed her outside her own home.

She was 40.

She left three children.

A later public inquiry found the RUC (replaced in 2001 by the PSNI, @PoliceServiceNI) and the Northern Ireland Office (@NIOgov) failed to warn her of the danger and failed to offer her protection.

It found leaked police intelligence had raised the threat to her life. It found threats from officers helped mark her out as a target for loyalist killers. Standard stuff for the era, apparently.

Here is the shocking detail..

Just before her murder, the NIO offered protection to two of her male clients who were campaigning against the same Orange Order parades. They did not offer it to her. The reason given was she had not asked, she was not a councillor, and she was not officially part of the residents group.

So the system had a protection scheme sitting right there and decided a solicitor getting death threats simply hadn't filled in the correct form.

Documents released from the Irish national archives in December 2024 add the finishing touch. The NIO's top official at the time, Joe Pilling, later told Irish diplomats that with the benefit of hindsight the NIO probably should have sought her out anyway.

Hindsight. Twenty five years and one murder later, hindsight turned up right on schedule.

Her case sits next to Pat Finucane, another Belfast solicitor shot dead by loyalists in 1989 after similar threats.
