@heartsfc74 Today was a bad day for football in Europe. Praise to Hearts for making a run that everyone wanted to believe in. These are the stories that make football great, even when they end badly.

[Aernout Boot @aernoutboot]

@Sanny_Rudra Everyone in Europe will support Hearts tomorrow!

President Macron scolds the US and Israel for attacking Iran,

"The day you say I don't like your regime, I consider you threatening your neighbour so I will intervene and bomb you, you open a Pandora's box"

"Iran is a very bad regime, no discussion about that. I disagree with on a lot of topics"

"But I don't agree we will fix the situation just by bombings or military operations"

"Look at what happened in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya - we never delivered. Never"

"You have to respect the sovereignty of people, if people want to change a regime, they can do so"

"Having an agenda shared by Korea, France, the other Europeans, Canada, Japan, India, Brazil, Australia, you start having a third way"

"Those who don't want to be dependent on China, or aligned by definition, on the US"

@Vintage77Ball Willem van Hanegem nr 3, take out Koeman

[Aernout Boot @aernoutboot]

@90sfootball @EmilioSansolini Van Hanegem will always need to be in such a line up.

@Plakplaat63 @ESPNnl Ik denk dat dat komt omdat de NL jongens de weerbaarheid niet hebben om op het hoogste niveau te slagen. Van Persie legt de lat hoog en is direct, en dat kunnen hun fragiele ego’s (Bijlow uitgezonderd) niet aan, vermoed ik.

This is brilliant by Myriam Francois. A superb summing-up of what Israel is doing.

It ought to be an international scandal that the United States has sanctioned the UN special rapporteur, stripped her of bank accounts. Same with ICC. In order to defend Israeli atrocities in Gaza the US (aided by Britain) is trashing all legal and moral international norms.

"During that time, they said commanding officers told them to ignore international law, use civilians, including teenagers, as human shields, celebrate drone strikes and “take revenge on them all”." https://t.co/FwjB6OC38g

“What is happening right now in Israel could basically, I think, destroy, void, 2000 years of Jewish thinking and culture and existence.”

Israel has written one of the darkest pages in the history of genocide.

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Yes, this is fascism.

For years, historians and experts were cautious about using the f-word to describe today's events. But that hesitation is gone now. 🧵

@SranangMati @Feyenoord @fcvolendam Dit was de pot dat Joop Hiele na een uittrap de bal via Sjaak Troost zijn achterhoofd de goal in zag gaan…Symbolisch voor het seizoen.

Louis Theroux’s “The Settlers” is deeply disturbing television. The horror - the daily horror - of what happens in the West Bank gets far too little mainstream coverage. It’s great to see someone with Theroux’s profile expose a new audience to this reality. Watch it, share it.

[Emmanuel Macron @EmmanuelMacron]

Two million people trapped with no access to aid or assistance. Tens of thousands of dead people. The wounded. Orphans. This is the reality in Gaza today.
