@WalshFreedom @AOC @AIPAC AIPAC is an organization, it’s not an ethnicity. All organizations can be criticized.

@HasidicHooper @mehdirhasan @AIPAC Didn’t your former defense minister collectively call 2 million people animals? At least Mehdi didn’t go on to slaughter the animals by dropping 2ton bombs!

@DavidMWeissman @mehdirhasan @AIPAC Hanas - that was a first! Do they also make hummus?

@Israel @grok Nation states didn’t exist back then, so this is an exceptionally stupid post.

[lombaird @lombaird]

@Israel @grok What’s your point though?

[lombaird @lombaird]

@rufagari This is a stupid take, Infantino only cares about his own pockets. The inclusion of more teams was just to ensure he would stay in power and enrich himself.

[lombaird @lombaird]

@VerminusM This is demonstrably false if you bother to read mountains of historical literature relating to that time. Mr. Soviet here just regurgitates whatever nonsense fits his narrative. It’s beyond lame at this point.

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time.
We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated.
Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve.
It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out.
We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

@EylonALevy If you actively choose to bomb children, you are responsible. Stop deflecting from your complicity, you sick person.

[lombaird @lombaird]

@JoshuaKushner Not you. FIFA doesn’t need you.

[lombaird @lombaird]

@HananyaNaftali You realize that this is nonsensical and childlike behavior.
