Reminder that as the world watches the world cup, the actual world is burning.
Gaza is still being wiped out, with even the Egyptian representative who was organizing the watch parties murdered by Israel in what appears to be a sick form of retaliation for the coach of the national team holding up the flag and cause of Palestine at the world cup. Lebanon is still under attack and an expanding occupation. And another round of stupidity and recklessness of the Iran war is now going to lead to even more casualties. All along, so many of the African nations, even if represented on the field, carry the weight of generations of exploitation.
Just be careful not to let the spectacle make you forget the suffering, the silenced, and the systems that keep crushing them.
May Allah keep our hearts awake, our eyes open, and our actions guided. May He protect the innocent and oppressed all around, and make an example of their oppressors. Ameen
My predictions for Canada vs Morocco:
- Morocco leads 2-0 at halftime
- Kawhi gets subbed on in the 80th min and scores a hattrick
- Canada win 3-2
Thoughts??
WOW

Today marks four years since my aunt, Shireen Abu Akleh, was killed by an Israeli sniper in Jenin.
An iconic journalist, and one of the most empathetic and sweetest people. This is who they killed. She loved life, but they stole hers from her.
is it performative of me to get toronto tempo merch because it's toronto + women + pretty colours and I wanna rep that even if I didn't watch the opener
The picture on the left is from the Deir Yassin massacre, which occurred a month before Israel was formed. lsrael was, quite literally, born out of terrorism.
