FIFA president Gianni Infantino once said that "football belongs to the people" - so why has he taken the World Cup away from them? https://t.co/YCKcJJdDNn

🇪🇬 Egypt’s coach dedicated his team’s World Cup win over Australia to the Palestinian people, after the Pharaohs advanced to the Round of 16 for the first time in their history, winning 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in regulation.

“My heart and soul are with them,” coach Hossam Hassan said of Palestinians, praying that “God have mercy on their martyrs.” He added, “I dedicate this victory to the Egyptian people and to the good and generous Palestinian people.”

Journalist Nahej Hajjaj filmed Palestinians celebrating the victory. Egypt next face the winner of Argentina v Cape Verde, where Argentina currently lead 1-0 through a Lionel Messi goal after 30 minutes.

Simply don’t understand those willing to deny the evidence of multiple doctors from a variety of different countries; independent investigators all with long and established careers, journalists, survivors and witnesses, a pile of visual evidence as well as their own eyes - and still attempt to discredit those who report this. - whether they’re survivors, medics, academics or journalists…

"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"

He means Israel would go after them too.

A UN commission has found that Israel is committing genocide through a "deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".

The truth always comes out in the end — and we must never, ever let it be forgotten.

One of the killings involved a ten day old baby being shot by an Israeli sniper in broad daylight whilst the baby was being breastfed : an independent UN Commission says Israeli authorities and security forces deliberately targeted Palestinian children resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank

[UN Human Rights Council Investigative Bodies @uninvhrc]

Keir Starmer could have ended child poverty, homelessness and the grotesque levels of inequality in this country.

Instead, he abandoned those in need, destroyed our civil liberties and facilitated genocide in Gaza.

That is how this Prime Minister will be remembered - and that is the legacy of moral and political bankruptcy he leaves behind.

The crises in our society are not going away. Neither are we - and we will keep fighting for a more equal, peaceful and dignified society for all.

This is what I will forever remember when I think of Kier Starmer.

Bills up.

Wages too low.

Record profits for Oil & Gas.

50 richest families with more wealth than 50% of population.

Shit in our rivers.

Pensioners jailed for protesting.

Migrants thrown under the bus.

Supporting a Genocide.

That's Starmer's legacy.
