Fortunate to be born to a safe space in a benign time. Fear the worst but hope for the best. Listen, learn, empathise and help.

@MC17_JC @fifamedia @FIFAcom Looks to me like it just flatlines above a certain height. You can literally see it in what they released

[Paul Tobin 🇵🇸 @Paultobin77]

@fifamedia At what height above the floor of the pitch does the signal from the ball to the antenna become less reliable?

[William Dalrymple @DalrympleWill]

The illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is one of the most well-established positions in international law, resting on four distinct pillars:

📜 GENEVA CONVENTIONS
Article 49(6) of the Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) explicitly prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies. Israel ratified the Convention in 1951. The International Committee of the Red Cross, the authoritative interpreter of humanitarian law, has consistently held that this provision applies directly to the settlements.

🌐 UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTIONS
The Security Council has repeatedly affirmed settlement illegality — including in binding resolutions the US did not veto:
• Res. 446 (1979): settlements have "no legal validity"
• Res. 465 (1980): calls on Israel to dismantle existing settlements
• Res. 2334 (2016): passed 14-0 (US abstained), explicitly states settlements constitute "a flagrant violation of international law" and have "no legal validity"

⚖️ ICJ RULINGS
• Advisory Opinion on the Wall (2004): the Court found settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, had been established in breach of international law, and that the wall built to protect them compounded that illegality
• Advisory Opinion on the Occupied Palestinian Territory (2024): the Court went further, ruling that Israel's continued presence in the OPT — including the settlement enterprise — is itself unlawful, and called on all states not to recognise or assist it

🏛️ UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Countless UNGA resolutions have reaffirmed settlement illegality, including Res. 77/247 (2023), which requested the landmark 2024 ICJ opinion.

No serious legal scholar disputes this consensus. The settlements are illegal. The only remaining question is whether the international community will act on it.

@AnfieldRd96 If the club brings him back we'll support him, if they don't then there's nothing to think about. Won't matter a damn what anyone on here says anyway as to whether he comes back or not

[Paul Tobin 🇵🇸 @Paultobin77]

@rudkin_abigail @Mandyizzles I think it was just the majority of the mouthiest people felt that way..... Or maybe the even the minority of the mouthiest ones just repeating themselves more than others. Id love to see him back

Journalist Janine di Giovanni:

"If a missile hits a hospital in Ukraine,
Europe calls it a war crime."

"But if missiles hit a hospital in Gaza and 100 people die, it’s Israel's right to defend itself."

@AnfieIdExpress Yes

@eddiegibbs Genuinely one of the laziest top level players I've ever seen and when he had time to think about what he should do his choices were pretty poor. When the ball dropped to him though, and instinct outweighed his decision making, he was lethal

@SamueILFC He made so much space for Salah it was unreal

[Paul Tobin 🇵🇸 @Paultobin77]

@Watch_LFC Bring him back

[Paul Tobin 🇵🇸 @Paultobin77]

@TheKopoholic Hell yeah.

The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.

It was in broad daylight.

The father says:

"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."

Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

The genocide seems unstoppable,
Necrocapitalism seems invincible- but they are not!

All we need is UNITY. COORDINATION. PERSEVERANCE.

Keep Protesting. Striking. Boycotting. Litigating.

Not just once.
All the times needed till the Apartheid ends and the system which fed it too.

Super Joe is good for 2 more years at least. Injuries are all done. No bother to him. Young lads will be ready by then 💪

One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world - the ancient city of Tyre - designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its incredible historical sites. This is what it looks like today following multiple Israeli airstrikes.
