@FIFAWorldCup Iran has to come and leave same-day from USA-Mexico for matches. It dissolves integrity of FIFA. A shameless stain on the sport and organization.
Distinguished UChicago Prof. John Mearsheimer on why the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee is UNQUALIFIED for the job:
“[Those] who allow their religious views to influence their policy perspective simply should not be in important government positions.”
"I think we need to give the Gulf states more credit. This is not simply Saudi, Qatari or Emirati money pumping billions into Washington and buying people. It is not like that.
If you are MAGA, if you believe in America First, the Gulf lobby’s narrative resonates. It says: we want stability, we want growth, we will put money into your economy, and we will allow your companies to come over and make money in the Gulf and the wider region.
The Gulf states are willing to underwrite American policies. After all, all the bases in the Gulf are paid for by the locals, by the Gulfies. They are not paid for by US taxpayers. The Gulf states are willing to buy American jets and weapons. They are injecting cash into American AI companies. They are willing to support American power where they can. They are net contributors to American power
By contrast, Israel is a net consumer of US power. It drains US power. It sucks money out of the US economy and from US taxpayers."
Also: Ben-Gvir is on tape talking like this in the 90s, and he learned it at the feet of people who were talking like that in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and they learned it from people who proudly described themselves as engaging in “terrorism” in the ‘40s, so spare us
Franklin D Roosevelt, 5 March 1945:
“A Zionist state in Palestine can only be installed and maintained by force and we should not be a party to it.”
The quote is from a statement I found in Department of State's Foreign Relations, 1945, Volume III
He died a few weeks later.
People wonder why many U.S. Senators keep running for re-election into their 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. This is why — setting up their families with generational wealth.
This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.
The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.
They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.
Now the rapists are free.
This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

Haaretz should probably have a chat with their digital team - kinda weird to share this piece and not mention who wrote it.
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert!
Iran v. New Zealand ended around 8pm here in Los Angeles.
At 10:07pm, Iran players were on a bus bound for the airport, where they'd fly back to Tijuana. World Cup organizers wouldn't let them stay and recover.
“Everything is like a disaster for us," Mehdi Taremi said.
Sky News has verified 152 of those killed when a US missile struck a primary school in Minab on the first day of the war.
Using a range of information sources, the faces of all the 120 students - aged 6 to 13 - and 26 teachers have been identified ⬇️
This is what Jewish & Muslim solidarity looks like. Neighbors coming together around a vision of shared safety, dignity & peace. In NYC. In DC. In Israel & Palestine, and across the world.
We're united around a belief that a better world is possible — one in which we don’t compromise on anyone’s humanity. One in which we are not complicit in occupation & genocide. One in which everyone has a home they can afford, with no bombs falling on it, in a place where they are both safe and free.
A wholehearted thank you to @JFREJNYC, @IfNotNowOrg, @EmgageAction, Muslim Democratic Club of NYC, @israelispeaceny, @MaozInon, @AzizAbuSarah, Ruth Messinger, Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, Mohsen Mahdawi, @ShahanaFromBK, and of course @ZohranKMamdani. And to the hundreds of neighbors who joined us for our canvass this afternoon.
