Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.
JUST IN: 🇩🇰🇺🇸 Danish reporter slammed NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte live on camera:
"You sit next to Donald Trump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain.
Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"
Trump destroyed the international order and rules.
Most people, "We don’t care about politics."
Now he destroys the football rules.
America’s disrespect for rules is like a cancer. No area can be immune.
Nein, liebe @welt! Die FIFA steht nicht unter Druck.
Die Einzigen, die unter Druck geraten, sind die wenigen verbliebenen pro-Besatzungs-, pro-Völkermord-Kreise, die durch die weltweite Solidarität mit Palästina auf und neben den Fußballplätzen zunehmend isoliert dastehen.
Trotzdem danke, dass ihr dieses herzerwärmende Foto geteilt habt.
URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.
This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.
BREAKING - A Swiss Tribunal recognises the legitimate right to peacefully oppose the ongoing genocide in Palestine.
One again: justice for Palestine starts at home. It only takes people caring and applying Intl Law. And persevering.
‘No Music for Genocide’
“Massive Attack, which has boycotted performing in Israel since 1999, signed on to an initiative called No Music for Genocide, where more than 400 artists and labels blocked their music from streaming services in Israel.” https://t.co/6rSLHaJjzN
Israel destroying the foundations of humanity, literally & figuratively.
As the world unifies in horror, we can unify to stop the madness.
Complete military, economic, diplomatic boycott of genocidal Israel now.
Der ESC in Wien sollte nicht als Bühne genutzt werden, mit der israelische Kriegsverbrechen und Völkermord verharmlost und legitimiert werden.
Setzt stattdessen besser das EU-Israel Assoziierungsabkommen aus!
🇫🇷🇮🇱 French MP Mathilde Panot:
"Netanyahu is annexing South Lebanon, colonizing the West Bank, and committing genocide in Gaza.
What is France doing? Nothing.
Yet, it has imposed 19 rounds of sanctions against Putin and his violations of international law.
This double standard is outrageous."
At last, EU MPs are starting to object in numbers to the obvious support by the European Union for Israeli war crimes. The damage Kallas and von der Leyen are doing to the European Union is incalculable, and they've got to be removed.
South Lebanon is being destroyed.
A humanitarian disaster.
1.2 million people, including 400,000 children, displaced by bombardment. Villages flattened. Innocent civilians killed. Parents grieving over their dead children. This cannot be justified
"Khalil was trapped alive under rubble for hours, having made a phone call to her family and the Lebanese military for help, Qudah told CNN on Thursday.
'The Red Cross was blocked for seven hours and when they reached her after seven hours, she was already dead,” she said. 'This kind of obstruction of rescue efforts may really amount to war crime.'"
Zionism has butchered the best and brightest among the people of the Levant, and wider West Asia, for nearly 100 years, yet whoring Arab leaders still accept, respect and defend it - including the very government of Lebanon. I don't know of a historical parallel
Pamiętajcie, oni stawiają znak równości między antysemityzmem, a spostrzegawczością. Jeśli dziś widzimy, że Izrael głodzi ludzi, więzi ich, przesiedla, torturuje, zabija. Jeśli widzimy zbrodnie na kobietach i dzieciach, jeśli widzimy jak wolontariusze pomocy humanitarnej (w tym nasz rodak) są zabijani przez izraelskich żołnierzy i jeśli widzimy, jak Izrael niszczy chrześcijańskie symbole - jeśli to wszystko widzimy i krytykujemy - jesteśmy antysemitami.
Ale to prawda. Izrael to wszystko robi, a świat patrzy - patrzy i milczy. Pamiętajcie, prawda to nie antysemityzm. A jeśli prawda to dziś antysemityzm, to trudno - niech będę antysemitą. Wolę być antysemitą, ale spać spokojnie w poczuciu, że nie byłem głuchy na to, co się dzieje i na to, kto jest tu ofiarą, a kto katem...
