🚨🗣️ | Wayne Rooney on the Media Hypocrisy Regarding Arsenal:

“I’ve been seeing the reaction to the Bayern and PSG game, and honestly, it’s a joke. Everyone was hyping this up as the 'ultimate' game of the week, the most entertaining game of the round. It ends 1-1 and I’m seeing nothing. Where’s that same energy people have for Arsenal?
When Arsenal grind out a 1-0 win or a 1-1 draw the media calls it 'boring' or 'negative football.' But look at Bayern tonight I didn’t see a team that wanted to win. I saw a Bayern side that looked like they expected PSG to just sit back and defend, but got disappointed. They played with zero energy, their body language was completely lackluster, and they looked lost. If Mikel Arteta’s side put in a performance like that, every pundit in the country would be slating them for the next week.
People need to start being honest. You look at Arsenal versus Atlético yesterday that was a proper Champions League semi-final. It had everything: intensity, quality, drama. It was the most entertaining match of the week by a mile.

But because it's Arsenal, the goalposts always move. Now that the media’s favorites, PSG and Bayern, have put on a 1-1 aggregate snoozefest, is anyone calling it 'haram football'? Of course not. We all know the answer to that.
It’s pure hypocrisy. Deep down, everyone knows this Arsenal team is one of the best in Europe right now. The only reason people pretend to hate the way they play is because their own teams aren't half as good as them. It’s time we start judging football on fairness and logic, not just because it’s popular to have a go at Arsenal”

@Tripple____M Why is the question is always if Mikel can win the title? It is the players who are on the pitch and they were f'ing miserable yesterday (and last weekend).

Only when it starts to hurt them. A month ago 70-80% of the population wanted Gaza to be obliterated.

Israel's National Security Minister Itmar Ben-Gvir is heckled by a resident of the Israeli city of Arad where he went to meet with residents after it was hit heavily by Iranian missiles

The resident can be heard screaming at the minister: "You are a Jewish Nazi. You are responsible for all the death! You have no business here! Get out of my city"

Trump’s taunts about Canada as the “51st state” aren’t new. For decades, Canada has operated as a junior partner to US capital, a reality socialist thinkers named clearly in the 1960s. Sovereignty without economic independence was always a fragile promise. https://t.co/oSxILPidVW

This is now 20 years old, but worth remembering as US is supposedly acting as a broker between Israel and one Palestinian faction. Helps to check the political alliance of the US interlocutors Jared Kuschner and Steve Witkoff)

Absolutely extraordinary exchange between Israel and China 👇 I've never seen such a heated exchange come out of top-level forum in China (this is from the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum that started yesterday), this normally never happens.

The guy speaking is Yan Xuetong, the dean of the Institute of International Relations at Tsinghua University, the most prestigious university in China.

Speaking for Israel is a military officer apparently called Elad Shoshan.

Yan Xuetong truly doesn't hold back:
- When the Israeli officer tries to bullshit him around how Israel supposedly protects civilians in Gaza, he replies: "You killed more than 70,000 civilians!... The fact is not decided by you... It is not decided by your government. Your government has no legitimacy or the right to decide or defend what is fact"
- And when told that the war will end when Hamas release hostages he replies: "No, this kind of propaganda have too many. No one believe it! Too many! Too much! No one believe it, except a few Israelis"
