Morocco national team player Zakaria El Ouahdi missed the initial squad flight to the U.S. after his visa was denied.
Concerns have been raised that the issue may have had nothing to do with football, with alleged questions around his father’s appearance, including his beard.
Slavery was so long ago and we’re supposed to be over it until you want to have an image of the resistance of enslaved people, then it’s too political. They will never forgive Haiti for winning their freedom. They made Haiti pay France reparations for 150 years and still salty.
The FBI raided and arrested 7 pro-Palestine activists this morning for their involvement in student organizing at UMich. They are still targeting the student movement. Please spread the word about this. Donate to the legal fund in this thread
Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame.
Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
🚨BREAKING: The Lebanese Man Who Penetrated The Border & Clashed With Soldiers Acted Alone
He was not part of Hezbollah or any group, his name is Hamza Hammoud.
The lone resistance fighter managed to cross the Lebanese border, bypass all Israeli warning systems & military sites, occupy a guard tower, then engage in a clash.
A stunning embarrassment to the Israeli military, showing just how ineffective they are on the ground.
The planet's most fanatical Israel loyalists now own and control (or are about to) Paramount, CBS, TikTok, Warner Brothers, CNN: all acquired in the last two years by Netanyahu's close friend, Larry Ellison, right as public support for Israel in the US and the west collapses:
🔴 Trump Says Iran Shot Down U.S. Helicopter & U.S. Will Respond
A U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter went down near the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Oman Monday, with both crew members rescued within two hours and reported in stable condition by US authorities.
President Trump said on Truth Social that Iran shot down the helicopter and that the U.S. “must, of necessity, respond.”
Iran’s IRGC Navy claimed it shot down the aircraft after it ignored warnings, targeting it with fire from a speedboat. The Pentagon has not confirmed or denied the Iranian account. CENTCOM had said only that the cause is “under investigation.”
Did America not realise that the ‘soccer’ World Cup would involve people from all over the world visiting?

⭕️ Israel has issued a seizure order for privately owned Palestinian land in Jenin to build a military base, according to +972 Magazine, marking what researchers say is the first such move in Area A since the Oslo Accords (1995) established the territory as an area under full Palestinian civil and security control.
The land is located in Al-Jabariyat, overlooking Jenin refugee camp, where Israeli forces have displaced tens of thousands of Palestinians during their ongoing operation in the northern West Bank.
Residents say the order threatens one of the few assets many families have left after their homes in the camp were destroyed. Rights groups warn the move is part of a broader effort to expand Israeli military and settlement control around Jenin.

Iranian Football Federation announces the 8% ticket quota allocated to Iran has been revoked by the U.S., leaving the federation currently unable to distribute tickets to supporters.
A case study in political interference, discrimination and FIFA looking the other way.
This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali.
The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful.
