@Footballogue Tout le monde critiquait la coupe du Monde au Qatar mais aujourd'hui certains se rendent compte que c'était très bien organisé, aucun membre de staff ou arbitre refoulé, les stades étaient au top et la sécurité garantie. Cette CDM aux États-Unis s'annonce déjà compliquée

@Footballogue Il faut annuler cette coupe du monde et la faire en Europe en Afrique ou ailleurs . C est une honte .

🔴 Énorme DINGUERIE encore des États-Unis...

L'arbitre somalien Omar Artan 🇸🇴 s'est vu refuser son entrée aux États-Unis, alors qu'il est sensé officier pendant la Coupe du Monde ! 🙄

Malgré l'aide appuyée de l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi, qui lui a fourni un PASSEPORT DIPLOMATIQUE, M. Artan a dû faire demi tour à son arrivée aux USA.

On parle d'une personne qui a été élue MEILLEUR ARBITRE AFRICAIN EN 2025 ! 🤦‍♂️

Faced with an employment tribunal hearing and a massive backlash, Leeds University has backed down two years after it stripped academic rights from an emeritus professor, James Dickins, for expressing views in solidarity with Palestinians.

This is the same Leeds that notoriously employs as its Jewish chaplain a man who served in Gaza in Israel's genocidal army.

Lol. Such a bullshitter. The UK is the global capital of surveillance and literally pioneered signals intelligence. The govt don't give a crap about kids — they drop bombs on them all the time. This is all an excuse so they can backdoor devices.

@ali_naka @FIFAcom And yet you allow the World Cup to be held in the USA 🇺🇸?

[African @ali_naka]

Iran is the only team out of the 48 in the World Cup that the US prohibits from staying on its territory before or after each match.

You arrive on match day. You play. And that same night, back to Mexico.

You are compromised @FIFAcom

Netanyahu: "Did the Nazis politely ask Jews to leave? Did they say 'Please go'? 'Step out so we can move in'? Of course not."
By saying this, he confessed with his own mouth — he is the Nazi now. 🔥🇮🇱🎙️💀
Perfect projection. 😈🎭

The Jewish activist Tony Greenstein, whose opposition to the Gaza genocide will see him on trial in August for "supporting terrorism", is now being hounded – like other prominent Palestine solidarity activists – with a freeze on his bank accounts.

This is being directed by the government through the National Crime Agency.

Santander are the latest culprits to engage in what Greenstein calls "financial terrorism", after similar bank freezes from Nationwide, HSBC and First Direct.

One of the accounts frozen by Santander held money raised to help a Palestinian children's centre in Jenin.

As Greenstien notes, Jenin's children "suffer enough at the hands of the terrorist IDF without facing the terrorism of the British state acting via its banking system".

@Reuters Wow Reuters you should’ve run that by a news organization before posting

@Reuters They're straight up stealing land from people.

Let's go occupy Reuters and see if many see it as illegal.

@Reuters You're a disgrace to real journalists who lost their lives to document israeli illegal occupations.

More than 210 nationalities make up the NHS workforce. Among them are Palestinians or those of immediate Palestinian descent/heritage.

Claims that Palestinian flags endanger the safety of Jews is not only nonsense, its also a glaring example of anti-Palestinian racism dressed up as safeguarding for Jews. It equates a national flag/symbol of identity/solidarity with automatic hostility, without evidence of any kind that a specific staff member has acted unprofessionally. This framing also falsely suggests that all NHS staff members who support Palestinian rights would hold their Jewish patients responsible for the actions of Israel, thus they would feel justified in discriminating against Jews.

This really needs to be properly unpacked from both ends because of all the serious implications it has regarding antisemitism, anti-Palestinian racism and the very real manipulations at play designed to shield Israel from criticism/accountability.

We are in real danger of entering the territory of quite literally suggesting that Palestinians, as well as any symbols representing Palestinians, are to be automatically viewed as threatening towards Jewish people. Any Palestinians working for the NHS thus cannot be trusted to treat or even be near Jewish patients.

These are positions that nobody should accept. The portrayal of Palestinians and their supporters as vicious and violent Jew-haters is not only untrue but in itself a racist trope.

Framing this as being about Jewish safety has the added impact of promoting ignorance around what is and is not antisemitism and conflates British Jews with Israel.

Protecting vulnerable patients from bias & discrimination is entirely legitimate. Our NHS has a duty to ensure impartial care regardless of patient ethnicity, religious background, or political views. We should not be denying Jewish vulnerability or dismissing the real instances of discrimination (e.g. where kosher requests have been denied or ridiculed) as trivial matters as this ignores legitimate concerns.

I am very concerned that the rhetoric of Karen Newman, as well as the proposals & conclusions of Lord Mann, portray Jews as being irrational and paranoid, unable to coexist with Palestinian symbols, and demanding exceptional protections beyond appropriate measures. This feeds tropes of Jewish "hypersensitivity," power ("controlling" NHS policy), and dual loyalty. It also has the effect of chilling free speech and restricting criticism of Israel.

This is a weaponisation of both antisemitism and Jewish vulnerability in order to erase Palestine & Palestinians from the NHS.

I'm extremely worried that this entire debacle will further stigmatise Palestinians, manipulate antisemitism discourse to limit criticism of Israel, and worse of all it will ironically heighten divisions, causing resentment and ignorance that directs the blame for these measures onto Jews—potentially worsening the very vulnerabilities cited.

It is the CONDUCT and PROFESSIONALISM of NHS staff that should be our concern as opposed to their political beliefs or display of symbols. Any actual bias incidents must be investigated rigorously and full training should be provided so that accommodations for religious needs (e.g. halal & kosher) can be made without politicising displays of identity/solidarity.

We need to really investigate the anti-Palestinian racism that results in Jews experiencing fear/concern/vulnerability when confronted with symbols of Palestinian identity. Who is telling British Jews that this is how they should react when they see Palestinian flags or other symbols and why?
