[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

A reminder of how horrific things have been and for how long. In 2014, the Israeli military dropped a missile on Palestinians watching the World Cup on the beach in Gaza killing 8 Palestinians while they watched Argentina play the Netherlands. Here's how the @nytimes framed the headline:

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Children.

Let that sink in.

According to a new UN inquiry, Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children in Gaza, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes.

No government, army, ideology, or political argument can make the killing, starvation, displacement, and traumatizing of children morally acceptable. A world that excuses the destruction of children has lost its moral center.

We must not grow numb. We must demand an end to genocide, protection for Palestinian children, unrestricted humanitarian aid, accountability for these atrocities, and every child’s right to live in dignity, safety, and peace.

Héctor Bellerín @HectorBellerin has once again used his voice for Palestine, reminding us football can be a powerful platform to send positive messages.

He also pointed to FIFA’s double standards. Football stood with Ukraine, but failed to do the same for Palestine.

So the team with the GM known for ignoring players when they tell him they are being abused by a coach hires the coach known for abusing players. What could go wrong

[Tim Hirschel-Burns @TimH_B]

The Norwegian Viking Row is objectively cool.

But this type of mass, coordinated fan activity depends on having lots of fans who could get visas and afford exorbitant tickets.

Countries like Senegal have fan culture that’s just as good. But we don’t get to see it

Canadians: “Inflation crushed us. Interest rates sent our mortgage payments through the roof. Housing became unaffordable.”

Carney: “That’s the market.”

Vancouver developers: “We’re losing money.”

Carney: “Don’t worry. Taxpayers will bail you out.”

Canadians: “Wait… so we absorb our losses, but developers get bailed out?”

Make it make sense.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

NEW: we’re learning more about the cost of “Protect Ontario” ads to taxpayers.

FOI records show the cost for just one ministry to produce & run them last year was nearly $10 million.

The total the Ford government has spent across all ministries is expected to be much higher.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: During Mexico vs South Africa, the referee had to keep the players waiting during the cooling break because FOX was still on a commercial break.

The match eventually resumed while FOX was still showing advertisements.

These cooling breaks are not related to player health, but are instead used to accommodate commercials.

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

They aren’t even hiding what these hydration breaks are about. It’s 75 degrees under a roof at SoFi, the announcer says “that’s the end of the first quarter,” and then it’s straight to commercials. The game is gone.

[The Touchline | 𝐓 @TouchlineX]

📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."

"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Perhaps the only stain on Thursday’s curtain-raiser were FIFA’s newly-mandated “hydration breaks.”

When FIFA announced the change, it said the breaks were for “player welfare,” but many fans saw through the spin and assumed the breaks would be used by broadcasters to show commercials.

On Thursday, Fox, which holds the English-language U.S. broadcast rights, confirmed those fears.

It not only cut away to advertisements; during the second half of Mexico-South Africa, its commercials ran long and caused viewers to miss several seconds of action after play resumed. The blunder sparked an uproar among longtime fans.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s message to the court today as relayed by his attorney:

“I am a pediatrician. I provide medical care to patients, the injured, and vulnerable people in the Gaza Strip. I have carried out my work in accordance with international law and humanitarian standards. My detention is unjust and arbitrary.”

Did anyone else know that Ontario only allows Pap tests every 5 years now. That’s insane! My daughter just went for one and has to pay for it. This used to be covered annually. Fuck you @fordnation and @SylviaJonesMPP

[Sarah @ZofiaSafin]

I want to return to Bowman in all of this. He said he’d learned from Chicago and what he’d done wrong. But after covering up the sexual abuse of a player by a coach and swearing he’d changed, he’s fine putting his stamp of approval on the hiring of another abusive coach.

Being part of a generation that was told “Wikipedia is not a source” makes it genuinely baffling to me that jobs are now telling people to just use ChatGPT for everything.

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

"'He yells,' said one MP (...). 'He punches down at caucus all the time.'"

This is pretty unsurprising based on various reports on some of Carney's behind-the-scenes behaviour since day one, but it's still really off-putting to read.

Great reporting from @althiaraj. She's killing it.
