But I also realize  the sick game being played on all of us. How lucky we are to be tenants wrestling with poverty ourselves; how unfortunate — how cruel — to be forced into the groups which tell stories & laugh & wait for leftovers beneath our balconies.

This crazy old place…

“I cried for all of us. There was no end to the American sadness and the American madness. Someday we’ll all start laughing and roll on the ground when we realize how funny it’s been.”

Gaza called Suleiman al-Obeid the "Palestinian Pelé."

To Naseemi, he was Dad.

Now, he's trying to keep his father's name alive.

Israeli occupation forces killed Palestinian FOOTBALLER Salim al Ashqar in Gaza yesterday..

Have you heard anything about him?!

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

Palestinian footballer Salim Al Ashqar, 31, was killed yesterday by Israeli army fire in southern Gaza.

He had married five months earlier and was expecting his first child. He was the only son among seven sisters.

The number of athletes killed since the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has now risen to 1,009.

People keep asking the Iranian players if they support LGBTQ rights.

Why doesn’t someone ask the U.S. players if they support the U.S funded genocide in Palestine?

Just a reminder that Fred Hampton is younger than Donald Trump.

What a different future America could have had.

[THE WEST VIRGINIA HOLLER @HollerWV]

The U.S. and Israel have created a world where Palestinian children do not understand the concept of “natural death” because all they have known is the struggle to survive genocide.

[𒋻 @AdiiiFCB]

Will they ask Christian Pulisic or Weston Mckennie what do they think about their country inflicting a genocide in Gaza and bombing Iranian kids? Why are these type of questions always asked to Asians and Africans?
