Suleiman Obeid, former Palestine national team player and known as the “Pelé of Palestine,” was killed while trying to obtain food for his five children.
One of Palestine’s most prominent football stars did not die on a football pitch or during a match; he was killed while searching for a meal to feed his children.
@hobiriam You make a valid point there. I really can’t argue with that. I wonder sometimes why people just don’t show up. Why attend the tournament when it’s obvious fifa doesn’t give a rat’s ass about countries that aren’t Global North?
Trans people told yall this obsession with bathrooms would harm cis people as well. They told yall gendered bathrooms don’t work for a lot of people, and this is a prime example.
Unless cis folks start fighting back against bigoted cowards like this old fuck we deserve it too.
@hobiriam I’d like to also note that I haven’t watched a single game nor will I buy tickets to one. But I do wonder sometimes if global stages are bad places for protest if that stage is built on complacency?
@hobiriam Honest question: while fifa is corrupt and absolutely terrible, is the World Cup a bad place to make that representation global? Like, I know the Iranian fans brought Palestinian flags to the game. Could using this stage not bring a spotlight to the genocide of Palestinians?
Hello all my pal and pro-pal moots! I’m in search of a QR code list or something of the sort for places to donate. If any one has a template of some sort or can help me build one, please let me know. I’d love to have something that features pal, Lebanese, and Sudanese ARMY!
@sunnysoulmates I’m happy that you have been able to come so far, but I’m sorry that healthcare is the way it is. Access to the right care can be so awful sometimes and the places that have the good stuff are never really places you want to be. I just pray that you continue to be healthy🩷
America bombed their homeland and then forced them to camp at Tijuana and travel 5 hours just to get to their match.
This is discrimination. THIS IS DISCRIMINATION!!!!!!!!!
Experienced has been at the hands of a society that refuses to accommodate and normalize equality among all people, regardless of ability. So genuinely, shut tf up unless you have any actual, real knowledge on the subject. Please.
Louder for the ableist assholes in the back!! I’m so serious when I say that one of the most upsetting talking points around abortion comes to “what if if the fetus will be born disabled?” And not “does the person holding fetus want to give birth and raise a child, at all?”
Impairments were unpredictable (my issues began with a virus, same for my brother, though they kick started genetic impairments), that doesn’t mean we are any less important or brilliant. It doesn’t mean our lives have been terrible and suffering. Any suffering I have ever…
