Israel’s ‘deliberate targeting’ of children part of ongoing Gaza ‘genocide’: UN probe https://t.co/z5TrKewOP5

[Vfynn_🥷🏼 𐙚 @Vfynn_]

🚨🗣️NEW: Thierry Henry on Thomas Tuchel asking FIFA to move the photographers during the national anthem because they obstructed his view of his team:

“Thomas Tuchel’s complaint should embarrass FIFA. A World Cup manager waiting his whole life for that national anthem moment and all he sees is a forest of cameras? That’s madness. That’s football being held hostage by lenses and logos.

FIFA today reminds me of a circus ringmaster who has forgotten the animals and only cares about selling tickets. They treat football like a shopping mall with grass. Players are the products, fans are the customers, and tradition is just an old photograph hanging on the wall collecting dust.

The national anthem isn’t supposed to be a red-carpet event. It’s supposed to be sacred. It’s the heartbeat before battle. Yet somehow, sponsor pictures matter more than countries, photographers matter more than players, and television angles matter more than emotions. That’s upside-down football.

And don’t tell me this isn’t what happens when football is swallowed by American-style commercialization. Everything has a price tag. Everything has to be packaged, branded and sold. Even the soul of the game is standing at the auction house.

In Europe, football was built like a cathedral. In America, they’re trying to turn it into Times Square. One side is history and culture; the other side is flashing lights and advertising boards screaming for attention. Football isn’t meant to feel like the halftime show of the Super Bowl every five minutes.

Tuchel said he couldn’t see one single player. Think about that. Fifty photographers stood between a manager and his team during one of the proudest moments of their lives. That’s a metaphor for modern FIFA. There are now so many cameras between football and the people who love it that nobody can see the game anymore.

FIFA have become King Midas in reverse. Everything they touch turns into money, but somehow loses its soul. They chase sponsor shots like sailors chasing a mirage in the desert, while supporters are left watching the traditions they grew up with disappear brick by brick.

And here’s the irony. The game survived wars, dictators, corruption and scandals, but now it’s slowly being strangled by something wearing a smile and holding a camera. Football used to be the main character. Now it’s just an extra in its own movie.

If this is the future, then football isn’t being celebrated anymore. It’s being commercialized to death, wrapped in gold paper and sold back to the fans who made it great in the first place. And people wonder why supporters say the soul of the game is dying. It’s because FIFA sold it for the perfect sponsor photo.”

2010. South Africa. They said theft will be at an all-time high. Unsafe for world cup. Didn't happen.

2014. Brazil. Complained about some of the remote places the venues were. Unsafe for players. Didn't happen.

2018. Russia. "It's not a democracy". There would be marginalization. People would not even be free or allowed entry. Didn't happen.

2022. Qatar. " Slave built stadiums ". A morally bankrupt nation. " It cannot be fun". The tournament is horrible. No alcohols. Religious intolerance. Didn't happen.

2026. US. All the above happening.
We see.

• Jurgen, what’s your take on that Mexico vs South Africa game where the referee had to hold the players during the cooling break because FOX was still airing commercials?

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jurgen Klopp: “This is football being held hostage by suits in air-conditioned offices. These so-called ‘cooling breaks’ were sold to us as a shield for player welfare, a noble sword against the heat. But in reality? It’s nothing but a golden cage built for the advertisers.

When I saw players standing around during a cooling break while television schedules dictated the rhythm of the match, I couldn’t help but wonder: who is the World Cup really serving? The fans? The players? Or the advertisers?

A World Cup match should flow like a river. Instead, we’re building dams in the middle of it so commercials can pass through. That’s dangerous for the spirit of the game. Football was once the main event; now it risks becoming the background music to an advertising show.

We’re told these breaks are about player welfare, and of course player health matters. But when the game starts bending its knee to television timing, people are going to ask questions. The ball is supposed to be the star. Not a commercial break.

The World Cup is football’s cathedral. Yet sometimes it feels like we’ve turned it into a shopping mall where the cash register gets more respect than the match itself.

If this is the future, then football isn’t being interrupted by advertisements anymore. Football is becoming the interruption between advertisements.”

[IRAQ FR @IraqFootFR]

Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.

Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.

Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.

Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.

[Murray Rothbard @MurraySuggests]

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

NEW: 🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇱 THE AMERICAN AND ISRAELI MILITARY ARE TO BE MERGED

US Congress is QUIETLY moving to integrate the American and Israeli militaries under the 'United States-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative'

This will bring extraordinary Israeli influence to the US beyond the already extensive blackmail, lobbying and media networks.

The amount of money sent to Israel will skyrocket and you won’t be able to know how much it is.

They will also be able to set up factories in America, placing American jobs and lives at their mercy.

And any objections or oversight to Israeli actions or the endless aid sent to them will be much harder do.

The wars will never end until America is bled dry.

This is the end result of the US-Israeli military-industrial complex.

[Tyler Watt 🇨🇦 @tylerwatt]

The Ford government confirmed we won’t be back at Queen’s Park for 102 days.

While I’m excited to spend the summer in Nepean meeting with residents, businesses, and community groups, Ontarians deserve a government that’s willing to show up and do its job.

After calling a snap election to “Protect Ontario,” it’s hard to understand why this government is taking 5 months off while families continue to struggle with the cost of living, health care, and housing. #onpoli

Rubio: "Israel's made clear they have no interest in governing Gaza, they have no interest in occupying Gaza long term (Oct. 5, 2025)

Netanyahu: "We are now in control of 60% of Gaza. We were at 50%. Now we've moved to 60%. My directive is to move to 70%" (May 28, 2026)

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Netanyahu just said, “At this point, we are fully in control of 60% of the territory of the Gaza Strip… and my directive is to get to… 70%." So, they are definitely stealing the land of Gaza and their leader just said it on tape. Watch - no one in US media will report it.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

The president said your wife was ugly and your dad murdered JFK and yet you continue to stand with him. Why?

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

An American Jew who was born in New York in 1944 and an Ethiopian Jew born in Ethiopia can both turn up and get citizenship, rights, votes, land, homes.

Palestinians who were born there, whose families have have lived there for generations, remain refugees in the surrounding countries, denied a right to return to their lands, despite holding onto keys and property deeds.

This is Zionism.

🚨 Michael Carrick will stay at Manchester United as permanent manager, confirmed.

Direction clear for weeks, plan also approved by Sir Jim Ratfliffe and new deal set to be signed soon.

New deal for 2 years plus option to extend or directly 3 years, but no doubts: Carrick says yes and will sign the contract.

[Dr.mostafa project🇵🇸𓂆 @MostafaBNaim1]

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez:

“We received a letter today demanding that Lamine Yamal be suspended because he raised the Palestinian flag yesterday during the celebrations of FC Barcelona. I think this is something laughable — asking me to suspend a player simply for raising the Palestinian flag.

I believe FIFA should instead be contacted to prevent you from participating in football because of what you have been doing for more than three years: systematic killing and genocide carried out in the most horrific ways.

Lamine Yamal will be honored, and this flag will become an icon of celebrations in the streets of Spain from today onward.”

[Marit Stiles @MaritStiles]

When records were about to come out, Doug Ford changed the law to bury them. When court cases started heating up, he changed the law to nullify them.

Is this Queen's Park or the Kremlin? Why does this Premier think he's above the law?

[99% Johnny Graz @jvgraz]

It's rare to see every tactic of the antisemitism hoax spelled out in one tweet, so we should really take advantage of it.

Let the noticing begin.

1⃣ Jews don't make up "less than 1%" of Canada’s population. They make up slightly more than 1%. Small detail, but another example of how Zionists are incapable of citing a number without lying about it.

2⃣ 70% of "religious" hate crimes? Note how they narrow the field by removing all reports of racist, sexist, homophobic, etc behavior.

It's worse because reports from white Jews are categorized as religious, while reports from brown Muslims are categorized as racist.

Which brings us to...

3⃣ These are REPORTED crimes, not investigated and confirmed crimes. An emotionally fragile, politically motivated community can inflate these figures without limit.

And no, you can't see the list of reports.

4⃣ "Canada" did not "record" 6,800 antisemitic incidents. B'nai Brith, a pro-Israel hate group, claims 6,800 incidents of antisemitism occurred.

And once again, you can't see the list.

5⃣ And here comes the money shot: "incitement". All of this lying and hysteria is in service of one agenda: shut down any and all criticism of Israel's genocide.

Stop falling for it, and start calling out any official who pretends this is real.
