Ahead of today’s first World Cup game, Bosnian legend Edin Džeko writes a letter to the children of Bosnia, reflecting on what it meant to survive war as a child and on the horrors still unfolding in the world today:
“In the end, we survived. Looking back, I’m amazed at how strong we were. We were just little kids. But there was no point to the war. All those innocent people killed, and for what?
For money. Power. Ego.
For nothing.
When there is war on the news today, I feel sick.
I don’t want to see it anywhere.
For some reason, adults never learn.” https://t.co/wPzzjylNLL
@AshBoio "Liquidate the club" fuck off and support cardiff or city or real madrid. Such a pathetic comment to make regardless of your opinions on who they sign.
Ben-Gvir is such a sick, depraved person that he would have been an extremist in apartheid South Africa. But here he is, the second most powerful person in the Israeli government. And the West says nothing as he humiliates their citizens. This is who & what our governments support, arm & protect uncritically. Shame!
🚨 This is Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of National Security.
Not a fringe figure, not an anonymous online extremist, but a senior state official entrusted with responsibility over policing, detention and national security.
The video shows the degrading and abusive treatment of flotilla detainees by a serving government minister. Conduct of this kind raises serious concerns under international humanitarian law and international human rights law, including the prohibition on humiliating and degrading treatment.
The conduct is alarming but even worse is the culture of impunity that has allowed such behaviour to become normalised at the highest levels of the Israeli state.
Abuse at the hands of Israel has ceased to be exceptional and is clearly systemic.
This is what happens when Israel’s violators are gifted impunity by almost the entire international community.
Regardless of tribalism, ‘Emptihad’ taunts etc. it is not a good look that a 7,000-capacity training ground stadium is pockmarked by empty seats at kick-off for an FA Youth Cup final when more than 67,000 were inside Old Trafford for the 2022 final.
FT: Man United lose 1-0 to a 10 MEN Everton at home, thoughts?🔴
Absolutely embarrassing and disgraceful. Shocking performance. Club is continuing to go backwards. ❌
🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Pep Guardiola has spoken out publicly about Palestine, with solidarity. He urged people to flood the streets of Barcelona today, to protest against genocide.
🗣 Pep: "On October 4th, we will flood the streets to demand an end to the genocide."
🚨 Recognition - UK gets over its denial and comes to terms with the fact of of Palestine.
Recognition alone will not stop the bombs falling on Gaza. It will not halt the expansion of illegal settlements.
It will not end the siege that has suffocated life and hope for generations. What matters now is whether recognition is matched by action. And action means:
➡️ Stopping the unadulterated annihilation and genocide of the Palestinian people - end the occupation.
➡️ Ending arms sales where there is a clear risk of war crimes,
➡️ Imposing sanctions on officials responsible for atrocities and settlement expansion,
➡️ Regulating UK companies and charities complicit in occupation,
➡️ And standing firm behind the ICC and ICJ as they pursue accountability, however inconvenient for those in power.
Utterly disappointing to witness the lack of sportsmanship today. Dragging politics into the game goes against the very spirit of sports. Lets hope future victories are celebrated by all teams with grace
5 games into our season and we've got one win on the board. Upcoming fixtures look stressful too. I'm trying to stay positive but I'm struggling. Big time.
Terence Crawford just went up two weight divisions, fought one of the P4P best fighters in the world at a weight he's never lost at and then stood there in the pocket and traded with him and outclassed him on the inside and outside.
That man is an absolute freak 🔥
