'In this World Cup’s great convergence of 48 nations, one is conspicuously not receiving the same treatment as the other 47.
'And however much Gianni Infantino might try to posture as the ultimate peacemaker, he must surely see that the longer this problem persists, the graver the implications will be for his tournament’s integrity.'

Hi darling @ToniKroos
You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.
Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.
If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.
Fuck you.
Hey White House, please remove the Tropic Thunder clip. We never gave you permission and have no interest in being a part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie.
Americans don’t have free healthcare because we have to fight Israel’s wars or else the Mossad will release the videos they have of our politicians screwing kids
EXCLUSIVE: Javier Barden, Tilda Swinton and Adam McKay are among 81 names to sign an open latter condemning the Berlin Film Festival for its “silence” on Gaza and its “censoring” of artists who have spoken out.
“We call on the Berlinale to fulfill its moral duty and clearly state its opposition to Israel’s genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against Palestinians, and completely end its involvement in shielding Israel from criticism and calls for accountability,” the letter concludes.

@TheDefiantGhost Encryption isn’t what keeps me up at night.
It’s the context, the patterns, and the platform incentives behind the app.
That’s where real leverage lives.
The problem isn’t Iran , it’s the collapse of political credibility in Berlin and across Europe. Today’s European politicians resemble the old British Groom of the Stool: their job is no longer leadership, but cleaning up after Washington. Trump decides, spills, and they rush to justify it in the name of “values” and “human rights”. History remembers who stood with facts & who chose servitude disguised as morality.

Piers Morgan: “What happens to a country like Russia, which committed war crimes emerges unpunished for any of this?”
Jeffrey Sachs: “Well, if the US were punished for all its war crimes, the world would be a better place... if Israel was punished for its genocide...”
@kajakallas Strong words about international law.
Let’s just hope we don’t later discover that family business ties quietly survived here too like they did with Russia.👍
Who appointed you to speak for the Venezuelan people?
Neither of us has the right to decide another nation’s future.
The real issue is that the US continues to act as if it is above international law.
What happened in Venezuela wasn’t democracy it was political piracy.
States that place themselves above the law don’t rise; they decay.
UPDATE: This morning, Israeli police filed an indictment against Spanish flotilla activist Reyes Rigo Cervilla, with a request for pretrial detention. If granted, this means she will not be immediately released.
Rigo Cervilla is accused of assaulting a guard in Ketziot prison. She is currently the only one of 479 people detained with the first flotilla to have been singled out in this way.
Eyewitnesses told me that, after days of abuse, Rigo Cervilla, 56, was attacked by guards for defending another woman and advocating for everybody to be allowed mattresses to sleep on. Guards dragged her into a cell by her hair and then threw her in solitary confinement,
In videos from court, she can be heard begging for help and whispering that she is being threatened.
The six other activists (three Norwegians, two Moroccans and one Nigerian) still detained from the first flotilla are expected to be deported today or tomorrow, along with some of the 145 detained with the second flotilla. Israel has not indicated otherwise, and simply isn't drawing attention to their continued detention.
At this stage, it is just Rigo Cervilla who is facing a longer detention.
"رفعوا حجابي وسخروا من صدري المبتور".. إحدى المشاركات في أسطول الصمود تروي تفاصيل ما تعرض له ناشطو الأسطول من انتهاكات خلال احتجازهم في #إسرائيل#الجزيرة_مباشر
زرتُ عند هذا المساء أماني بزي، المرأة التي فقدت زوجها وأطفالها الثلاثة في ٢١ أيلول في بنت جبيل، جنوب لبنان.
طلبت أن تراني… فذهبت. جلست معها ساعتين.
استمعت إليها وهي تفتح قلبها ببطء … وجعٌ يفيض من بين كلماتها، ودموع لم تعرف طريقها إلى الخدّين منذ ذلك اليوم المشؤوم.
قالت لي إنها لأول مرة تبكي منذ المأساة.
ابنتها ما زالت في غيبوبة في العناية الفائقة، تصارع من أجل الحياة.
وهي نفسها تحاول أن تشفي جراح الجسد، لأنّ جراح النفس لا تُشفى أبداً.
تعّرفت إلى امرأة في ال٣٣ من العمر، درست في مدارس الراهبات حيث تآلفت مع التعليم المسيحي، وواصلت طريقها الأكاديمي حتى تخرّجت من جامعة الروح القدس – الكسليك. امرأة عاشت للحب والعائلة، لأطفالها وزوجها، وكان بيتها عامراً بالضحك والدفء والإيمان.
وفي لحظة واحدة، خسرت كل شيء.
جلست أمام سيدة لم يزرها أحد من كبار هذا البلد، ولا من الذين يرفعون الشعارات عن الرحمة والإنسانية.
لم تتلقَّ أي دعم من الدولة، ولا كلمة عزاء من مسؤول إلّا من قلّة قليلة. فقط الصمت، والخذلان، والوجع.
تحدثنا طويلاً … ساعتان من الكلام والسكوت والدموع.
كانت والدتها إلى جانبها، تهمس له�� بالدعاء، تمسح عنها الحزن الذي لا يُمسح.
لكن وسط هذا الركام، وجدتُ امرأة ��ن نورٍ نادر:
حكيمة، متزّنة، واضحة، ووطنية حتى العظم. امرأة فقدت كل شيء، لكنها لم تفقد كرامتها ولا حبّها لوطنها.
قبل أن أغادر، قدّمت لي قطعة شوكولا قالت إنها "عن روح أطفالها" … لتذكّرهم.
جاءتها دعوات من كلّ مكان وصلوات من دير "مار شربل" في عنّايا.
نزعتُ سوار سيدة لورد العجائبية الذي أضعه في معصمي ليل نهار، وأعطيتها إياه. وهي وضعته على يدها، رجاءً أن يُشفى قلبها وطفلتها.
خرجت من عندها وأنا أحمل نظرتها … تلك النظرة التي لا تُنسى، نظرة تقول كل شيء عن بلدٍ ترك أبناءه وحدهم أمام العواصف.
صلّوا لأجلها.
