Among the many powerful contributions by Jewish intellectuals to this Congress, Zack Foster's testimony may come as a shock.

Yet this is the moment to reflect on how European Jews were (un)seen and (mis)treated by those around them.

Because too many of us are still there.

#2026WorldCup: Iran’s national team left a farewell letter to Mexico while returning home:

“To the noble people of Mexico, and especially Tijuana,

We leave this World Cup with our heads held high, but also with deep gratitude in our hearts. You opened your doors and, most importantly, your hearts to us. Despite all the logistical and political obstacles we faced throughout the tournament, your unconditional love and hospitality gave us strength.

You showed us that hosting a World Cup is not just about modern stadiums, sold tickets, or grand organizations; the real matter is respect, humanity, and dignity. Mexico is now our second home, and the Mexican jersey is our second color.

However, this farewell also carries the reckoning of a great injustice. The double standards and obstacles we faced off the pitch throughout the tournament have cast a shadow over the unifying spirit of sports.

Today, we ask the organizers and the whole world this fundamental question: Were the rules and conditions applied equally to all teams in this tournament?

For us, ‘Fair Play’ is not just about advertisements on the green pitch; it is the soul and identity of football. Unfortunately, this tournament clearly showed us how vast the distance is between the fancy words of justice behind organizations and real actions.

In a system where the powerful dictate the rules, we were not allowed to compete under equal conditions.

Yet, we know that World Cups end, organizations pass, and administrations change; but the bonds built by deep civilizations like Iran and Mexico, founded on truth, ancient culture, and human dignity, remain permanent in history.

We fought our battle on the pitch, and you declared the victory of humanity.

Thank you for everything, Mexico.”

As both US and Israeli leaders openly contemplate attacking Iran again, it’s easy for the world to miss the fact that the genocidal alliance has also dramatically reinvigorated its ethnic cleansing agendas in Gaza.

The Adelson-owned pro-Netanyahu outlet Israel Hayom reports that in the coming weeks the so-called “Board of Peace” overseeing life in the Gaza Strip is planning to relocate Palestinians to “humanitarian shelters” that are not under Hamas control.

Israel Hayom reports that an area near the destroyed city of Rafah is the first location where such camps will be set up. This is noteworthy because one year ago defense minister Israel Katz stated that there was a plan to construct a “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah, where “the emigration plan” for the Palestinians would then be implemented, adding that Benjamin Netanyahu was working on finding foreign nations to accept the population of Gaza.

It’s hard to ignore the similarities. Both accounts even state that the plan is to police the displaced Palestinians using an international force. The 2026 Israel Hayom report states that the camps will be overseen by “multinational forces under the Board of Peace’s management”, and Israel Katz stated in 2025 that Israel is seeking international partners to manage the zone.

So to be clear, in July of last year Israeli officials were publicly stating that they were going to build a “humanitarian city” on the ruins of Rafah to house the Palestinians under international supervision while working to relocate them from their homeland to other countries, and in July of this year we learn that we will soon see Palestinians in Gaza relocated to “humanitarian shelters” near Rafah overseen by international forces.

So it sounds like the same plan. If it is, then it’s a plan for ethnic cleansing.

Israel has already expanded its control over Gaza from 53 percent to 70 percent of the Strip, concentrating the survivors of the genocide into a mere 30 percent of the Palestinian territory. And now, according to Israeli Energy Minister Eli Cohen, the plan is to expand control to 100 percent.

Israel National News quotes Cohen as saying during a recent radio interview that “our control of the territory will only continue to expand until we reach 100%,” adding, “two months ago we controlled 53% of the Strip, about a month ago around 60%, and today we’re approaching 70% of the Strip’s area.”

This comes amid other reports we discussed recently which strongly indicate that the Trumpanyahu administration is renewing its push to remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. The other day we learned from the Israeli press that Israel’s national security agencies had been instructed to rebrand the ethnic cleansing plan as a “plan for free movement” in order to mitigate international resistance to the agenda. A few days before that, we learned that Israel’s new national security chief had convened a meeting with officials from the IDF and Shin Bet to discuss the plan to displace the Palestinians of Gaza to other countries.

Again, Israel’s mass atrocities in Gaza have always been about ethnic cleansing from the very beginning. Within days of Israel’s assault on Gaza in October 2023, Israel’s Intelligence Ministry was circulating a plan for the entire population of Gaza to be moved to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, and an Israeli think tank had drawn up a strategy for the “relocation and final settlement of the entire Gaza population.”

The goal has always been to remove the Palestinians from Gaza so their territory can be taken from them. This was never anything other than a blatant Israeli land grab. They’ve been framing it as a “war” so that after they seize and colonize Gaza they can say “the Arabs fought a war and lost, they deserved to lose territory” like they always do, but it was never actually a war.

Calling the Gaza genocide a “war” is like seeing a man beating up a toddler and calling it a “fight”. It’s one of the world’s most sophisticated military forces raining explosives on an area packed full of children with the backing of the most powerful empire that has ever existed, opposed only by a few thousand guys running around in sandals with homemade rockets and ancient Kalashnikovs.

That’s not a war. It’s an ethnic cleansing operation. That’s all this has ever been.

The killing of a Palestinian footballer by Israeli forces on Monday has reignited calls for Fifa to ban Israel amid its ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Saleem al-Ashqar, 32, was cycling in search of a gas cylinder when Israeli soldiers shot him in the town of al-Qarara, just outside Khan Younis.

The Khadamat Khan Younis goalkeeper was taken to hospital but died of severe internal hemorrhaging and organ damage, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said.

“Despite medical efforts, the hospital's severely limited capabilities – exacerbated by the collapse of Gaza's health sector due to the ongoing war of extermination – made it impossible to control the internal bleeding,” Dima Youssef told the New Arab. “Given the severity of his injuries, Al-Ashqar passed away about two hours after arriving at the hospital.”

The goalkeeper’s death brings the number of Palestinian athletes killed by Israel since October 2023 to 1,009, including at least 567 footballers.

In a tribute on X, Turkey’s minister of sports Osman Aşkın Bak compared the 567 Palestinians murdered by Israel to the 572 footballers playing in the World Cup.

Spanish-Moroccan sports journalist Leyla Hamed wrote that Fifa suspends football federations “almost every week” but repeatedly refused to issue a decision on Israel. “How much investigation does the most documented genocide in history need?” she asked.

In 2024, the PFA asked Fifa to expel the Israel Football Association amid its genocide in Gaza.

This March, Fifa finally announced it would not kick out Israel but fined its football authority $190,000 on charges relating to “discriminatory and racist abuse”.

Meanwhile, it suspended Russia from the World Cup days after its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The body has been silent on the systematic targeting of Palestinian athletes since the start of the genocide in October 2023, drawing condemnation from advocacy groups including the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.

At the UK @LFPME) reception in the UK Parliament and with the attendance of UK Foreign Secretary Evette Cooper, H.E. Ambassador @hzomlot says Israel is methodically and systematically destroying Palestine. This must give rise to comprehensive sanctions by the UK government to stop the ongoing genocide in Gaza and hold Israel accountable.

Incidents of police brutality and state harassment against anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews inside Israel continue to spark outrage.

If you are a Jew standing against Zionism in Israel, everyday reality often means facing violent crackdowns, frequent neighborhood raids, and systemic harassment.

Corbyn was branded a conspiracy theorist for warning a US trade deal would push up NHS drug costs and put patients at risk.
The latest BMJ's study claims the deal Starmer signed will divert £45bn from the NHS and cause 229,000 excess deaths by 2036.
Corbyn was right.
