You really don’t understand what this means to me. From going to school on a Monday morning after being obliterated 8-2 in 2011. From eating 10-2 on aggregate in 2017 and leaving the tv room with blurry vision. From finishing my dissertation in tears after 4-1 in Baku in 2019.
I’m number 1 in the world.
It’s rare in this life that you can be better than 8 billion people at anything.
Thank you Israel for appointing me the number 1 antisemite in the world, you absolute cunts.

Sometimes you just have to accept that Messi and Ronaldo never lived the same reality. Messi carried a level of pressure Ronaldo never even smelled. Argentina didn’t treat football as a sport — it was a national responsibility, and they dumped all of it on one man. He literally broke under that pressure, retired, came back, and then delivered Copa América, Finalissima, and the World Cup like it was written in his blood.
That’s not “mentality.”
That’s destiny-level resilience.
In prison, Israeli guards told him again and again that Israeli soldiers had killed his entire family – a form of psychological torture, he said, meant to break him. But when he walked up the stairs of his Gaza home today, his wife rushed into his arms, his children and parents beside her – alive, waiting, and all of them delirious with relief and joy.
"I did not see or treat a single combatant during my five weeks in Gaza. My patients were six-year-olds with shrapnel through their hearts and bullets in their brains, pregnant women with their pelvises obliterated and their fetuses cut in two while still in the womb."
– Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a surgeon who volunteered in Gaza, at the UN Security Council

“One day, we will stomp on your head, [Netanyahu].”
“This world is vile, degenerate!”
A Palestinian man watched as his brother and his family, including their 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old children, burned alive after an Israeli airstrike targeted tents on Khamsa Street near Asdaa Central Prison in Khan Yunis. Without warning, the strike turned their shelter into an inferno, leaving only charred remains and scattered flesh.

Mohammed Maarouf, a child not yet five years old, was in a refugee school in the Jabalia camp when flames engulfed his small body, the result of an intense bombardment that struck the area. The burns covering his stomach and face were caused by the missiles of the occupation, leaving scars on the bodies of Gaza's children.
Mohammed looks at me with eyes heavy with pain, as if they carry a silent scream for suffering that has gone unheard. His burned body tells the story of Gaza's children, whose bodies have become open wounds, crying out against the silence of the world.
