Nos han llenado de amor, calidez y una amabilidad inolvidable. Gracias al maravilloso pueblo mexicano por su cariño y apoyo, que nos han hecho sentir como en nuestro segundo hogar. Todo nuestro respeto y aprecio para ustedes.
The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.:
“This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”

Iran’s captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks @fbhutto ?

Trevor Noah called out the double standard: African and Middle Eastern teams get grilled about their governments-while European and American players never do.
Iranian players had to fly to every match. Searched at customs. Interrogated in press conferences. Asked about the Strait of Hormuz-not football.
Mayim Bialik and Zionists be like : I backed the genocide of children and women in Palestine, I cheered when an IDF soldier shot a breastfeeding baby in the head but somehow, the real monster is the person wearing a t-shirt that calls Zionists racist.
“you got mad about the genocide too early, you should’ve carried water for it for years like I did and then only half-heartedly call it out in a pathetic attempt to stay relevant”
Jon is still speaking like he believes history started on October 7, 2023.
half of Palestinians in Gaza are children, meaning half of the population had spent the entirety or nearly the entirety of their lives in open air prison conditions prior to October 7.
2023 was the deadliest year on record for children in the occupied West Bank. Prior to October 7.
75 years of ongoing Nakba, prior to October 7
HAPPENING NOW: A standoff is taking place outside the airport in Beirut between the Lebanese army and resistance supporters, who accuse the government of betraying the country by forging an agreement with the occupying Israeli regime
