Our thoughts are with the victims and all those affected by Monday’s events at the Islamic Center of San Diego.

Wearing black armbands tonight to honor those lost 🖤

If you haven't seen him at the LCA, you might've noticed him at an MSU basketball game. Or heard him on the radio. Or on the big screen before a movie.

Mo Salah brought attention to Suleiman being killed, but his wife Doaa and his five children, Naseem, Inas, Hamada, Dina and Asia, still need support. Please share this link or donate if you can.

At the Together 4 Palestine gig in London, Eric Cantona stood alongside ex-Palestinian player Mahmoud Sarsak, jailed 3 years by Israel, with a powerful reminder:

“FIFA and UEFA banned Russia 4 days after Ukraine. We’re 716 days into a genocide, and Israel still plays.”

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

The whole team.

Celta de Vigo striker Borja Iglesias backs the pro-Palestine protesters at La Vuelta:

“It’s shocking to me that we care more about a sports event getting stopped than about a genocide,”

2 months ago the Palestine Football Association said over 100 youth players had been killed in Gaza. That’s not even counting those who are still missing.

Israel has exterminated past, present and future. Meanwhile, our governments not only looked away — they bankrolled it.

More images from La Vuelta in Spain: the Asturian town of Avilés right now is a sea of Palestinian flags.

These protests expose, one more time, how sport is being used to whitewash Israel’s crimes, and why people refuse to stay silent.

Within days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, @iocmedia, @FIFAcom , and @UEFAcom issued statements to condemn Russia, placing sanctions on Russian national teams. Why haven’t they done the same against Israel? 🤔

Israel disables Palestinians to degrade them and control their mobility. Israel’s “shoot-to-maim” policy means soldiers target areas of the body likely to cause life-changing disabilities.

“Free Gaza.
Stop genocide: Free the Palestinian people.”

Footage from Al Yarmouk Stadium before October 2023 — Gaza’s league games, crowded and full of football.

How many of these players are still alive? How many fans?

Former NBA player and activist Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf has used his platform to advocate for Palestinians and call out the NBA’s complicity.

George Jackson turned to the Palestinian struggle for inspiration during his time in prison. They found “Enemy of the Sun” by Palestinian poet Samih al-Qasim in his cell. https://t.co/IYMSrCj9bA

Suleiman Al Obaid, legend of Palestinian football, was killed by an Israeli drone while trying to get food for his children.

His wife Doaa is now alone raising 5 children in a tent in Gaza.
I’ve launched a fundraiser in their name — please help if you can https://t.co/mWevJTicXA

Sport is a source of culture and national pride. The IOF has killed over 800 Palestinian athletes and sports officials since October 2023, and has destroyed or turned sport stadiums into prisons, torture centers, and execution grounds.
