What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
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.

Israel is explicitly warning Christian residents in southern Lebanon not to welcome Muslim residents among them, threatening to bomb Christian neighborhoods.
Israel is now searching for Muslims hiding in the attics of Christians. It’s not 1944. Read that again.
The goal isn't military. It's destabilizing social stability in Lebanon.
Think this one through. Beautiful olive trees that grow and mature and serve as the livelihoods of families. People who think they are righteous and devoted to an all-seeing god, burn them down. And it happens again and again and again.
BREAKING:
Israel is dropping white phosphorus bombs on civilian areas in the village of Arnoun, Nabatieh, South Lebanon.
These are internationally banned munitions — and Israel is unleashing them against civilians.
Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre.
Israel is currently demolishing Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
In what lexicon is ethnically cleansing one quarter of a neighbouring state "taking a much tougher stance". Shameful complicity in war crimes by @SkyNews@adamparsons
“The world often tells us that we are too small to make a difference, but that power of one is not about scale. It is about choice. About showing up. About refusing to be silent or still when it matters most.”

Global Sumud Flotilla activist Dr. Margaret Conolly condemns Israeli interception of aid ship and calls for sanctions on Israel
➖ ‘What we experienced in the last three days was barbaric, cruel, ugly and violent. I never saw such ugly, ugly control by an army’
➖ ‘They are locked, 2.3 million, into an open concentration camp’
This is the "double tap".
Israel bombs civilians, waits for the emergency workers to turn up, and then bombs again.
They deliberately slaughter civilians and the medical staff trying to save them.
Don't look away.
So what about Oct 7? The world is done with the Zionist Hasbara of "...but Oct 7th!" Oct 7 is used to justify Israeli Jews genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians but 76 yrs of murder, rape, pillaging, persecuting & stealing from Palestinians doesn't justify Oct 7? Sure☕️
British MP Kit Malthouse unleashes on the UK Government: No ceasefire in Lebanon. Daily double-tap killings.
"If this is what they do to British & European citizens on camera... what are they doing to Palestinians off camera?"
"We're all fed up with the gaslighting!"
This is MASSIVE 🔥
🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, has called on Israel to end its expansion of settlements or face strict action 🔥
🇮🇹 Italy Declared the same
🇫🇷 France Declared the same
🇬🇧 UK Declared the same
🇩🇪 Now Germany is declaring the same
These countries got their spine thanks to Spain’s leader, Pedro Sánchez.
95 % People think Pedro Sánchez is the spine of Europe 🔥🫡
Après Javier Bardem, le réalisateur Ken Loach dénonce au festival de Cannes le génocide d'Israël en Palestine :
« La pire chose n'est pas la violence des méchants, c'est le silence des gens bien. »
GAME OF THRONES STAR LIAM CUNNINGHAM DROPS TRUTH BOMB:
