Reminder that as the world watches the world cup, the actual world is burning.
Gaza is still being wiped out, with even the Egyptian representative who was organizing the watch parties murdered by Israel in what appears to be a sick form of retaliation for the coach of the national team holding up the flag and cause of Palestine at the world cup. Lebanon is still under attack and an expanding occupation. And another round of stupidity and recklessness of the Iran war is now going to lead to even more casualties. All along, so many of the African nations, even if represented on the field, carry the weight of generations of exploitation.
Just be careful not to let the spectacle make you forget the suffering, the silenced, and the systems that keep crushing them.
May Allah keep our hearts awake, our eyes open, and our actions guided. May He protect the innocent and oppressed all around, and make an example of their oppressors. Ameen
Starmer cried when he was forced to resign, but didn’t shed a tear for the thousands of children who were killed in the genocide in Gaza which he backed.
That’s who he is.
There are 4m Muslims in the UK and 66m people who aren’t. We are told that those 4m have overwhelmed the 66 million without the 66 million noticing. Fakest news.
78 years ago, 800,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes. Britain made it possible.
Today, Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Britain made it possible.
78 years of the Nakba - and 78 years of British complicity in crimes against the Palestinian people.
BREAKING: An elderly man with a walking stick is arrested again for holding a sign in support of Palestine Action.
The police know the ban was ruled unlawful, yet they are wrongly arresting hundreds of peaceful protestors.

Israel has passed the death penalty solely for Palestinians, enforced through military courts with a 96% conviction rate.
Israeli Minister Ben Gvir popped champagne.
The Israeli government is raising a toast to genocidal apartheid. The UK government is arming and funding it.
They buried them thinking it was an end.
But subahanallah.. ALLAH turned their graves into gardens, Flowers blooming
And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allāh as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision,

Who truly lost?
The British government aided and abetted the genocide in Gaza.
Now, it is aiding and abetting an illegal war in Iran.
Complicity in the untold suffering of human beings around the world. That is how this government of warmongers will be remembered.
Every UK newspaper should be running this on tomorrow’s front page.
But only the @ScotNational is.
Because it’s the only respectable newspaper left and still believes in honest, fearless journalism.
“No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression.
Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Lebanon. Not in Afghanistan.
And it will not happen in Iran either.
They hide behind women’s rights to justify their colonial wars.”
