𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗠𝗕𝗦𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗟 🚨🇮🇱
Ex-Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers BROKE THEIR SILENCE, describing an ICE-COLD SYSTEM where strikes were calculated to kill as many people as possible in Gaza.
Their testimony is now a film at the Venice Film Festival.

🚨🇦🇷🇪🇬 Rio Ferdinand: “Football Needs Fairness, Not Different Rules For Different Teams”
🗣️ “I’ve sat here and watched football for many years, both as a player and as a pundit, and what frustrates supporters the most is inconsistency.
When Argentina go down under a challenge, the whistle seems to come immediately. The officials are quick to spot the foul, quick to stop play and quick to protect them. But when Egypt are on the receiving end of similar incidents, suddenly the game is allowed to continue and everyone is told to move on.
That’s the issue people have tonight. Not the result itself, but the lack of consistency in the decision-making.
Then you look at the build-up to Enzo Fernández’s winning goal. Egypt were screaming for a foul, their players were surrounding the referee, and millions watching expected VAR to at least take a proper look at it. Instead, it felt like everyone in the VAR room had gone to sleep.
What exactly is VAR there for if not to review the biggest moments in the biggest matches?
If that incident happened against Argentina at the other end of the pitch, do you honestly believe it wouldn’t have been checked? I find that very difficult to believe. We’ve seen much softer incidents reviewed throughout this tournament.
That’s where the frustration comes from. Fans just want the same standard applied to every team.
And let’s talk about the disciplinary side of the game. Argentina seem to get away with an awful lot. There are challenges that would normally bring yellow cards, yet the referee appears reluctant to reach for his pocket. It’s almost as if officials are afraid of making decisions that might upset Argentina.
When you look at some of Argentina’s matches in this tournament, there have been several moments where opponents felt hard done by. One incident can be debated, two incidents can be debated, but eventually people start noticing a pattern.
Football cannot afford that perception. The integrity of the game depends on supporters believing that every nation is treated equally.
Whether you’re Argentina, Egypt, Brazil, France or anyone else, the laws of the game should not change depending on the badge on your shirt.
The officials tonight had a responsibility to be fair, balanced and brave. Instead, they have left millions of people questioning why some decisions are given so easily for one side while similar incidents involving the other side are ignored.
Football deserves better than that. The players deserve better than that. And the fans certainly deserve better than that.”

🚨🗣️New: Mohamed Salah on the controversial officiating decisions in Egypt and Argentina game, Messi and Argentina are being favored:
“People will say Argentina showed the mentality of champions. Fine. But tell me this: when exactly did Egypt get the same protection from the officials?
We scored a second goal. The stadium exploded. The world saw it. Then suddenly VAR became an archaeologist, digging through the ruins of football history to find a foul from another lifetime.
Funny how they could rewind the game Five minutes to cancel our goal, but when I was brought down in the box, everyone suddenly forgot where the replay button was.
That’s what hurts. Not losing. Not Argentina.
The inconsistency.
One decision gets examined under a microscope. Another gets buried under the carpet.
We were told football is decided on the pitch. Tonight it felt like it was decided in a control room.
And let’s talk about those final minutes.
Two penalty appeals. Two moments that could have changed everything. Nothing. No review. No urgency. No explanation.
Then Argentina go down the other end and score the winner.
That isn’t a plot twist. That’s the kind of script that leaves millions of people asking questions.
Egypt fought for every blade of grass. We defended. We believed. We earned our moments.
But every time we climbed the mountain, someone moved the summit.
The disallowed goal.
The ignored penalty shouts.
The cards flying around our bench because people who dedicate their lives to this game couldn’t understand what they were witnessing.
And now we’re expected to smile and say football won?
No.
Football wins when the rules are applied equally.
Football wins when VAR is a shield for fairness, not a sword that appears only when convenient.
Because from where I’m standing, Egypt didn’t just lose 3-2.
Egypt lost a goal, lost two penalty appeals, lost faith in consistency, and eventually lost a place in the quarter-finals.
Maybe Argentina deserved to advance.
Maybe they didn’t.
That’s football.
But what will make people angry isn’t the result.
It’s the feeling that one team was forced to play against eleven men, the clock, and a set of decisions that seemed to change shape whenever the game demanded it.
And that’s why this match will be remembered long after the scoreline is forgotten.”

Mo salah never said any of this. This account has a history of making up lies and presenting them as facts. Mo salah did not give any interview after the Match. No media has reported any such thing .

J'ai regardé la moitié des matchs de la Coupe du monde et ce qu'il s'est passé hier est un scandale qui n'est pas si surprenant.
Il y a une véritable mafia à la tête de la FIFA. Hier, plus de 12 fautes non sifflées, 0 carton jaune pour le Paraguay malgré au moins 3 fautes valant rouge (le joueur qui saute volontairement sur Maignan, l'attentat sur Rabiot et la baffe à Mbappé), pendant que les Bleus prennent 3 jaunes dont 2 sont injustifiés. Les joueurs paraguayens ont été odieux et ont salis l'image du sport et de leur pays.
La VAR n'a été appelée que pour le penalty qui était tellement visible (sous les yeux de l'arbitre…) qu'il était impossible de cacher (faut voir la tête d'Infantino quand Mbappé a marqué) et l'arbitrage a été scandaleux, de la part des 3 Ouzbeks et 2 Qataris.
Difficile de savoir à qui bénéficient ces scandales à répétition, mais un pays revient souvent, l'Argentine, et l'agressivité d'un continent n'est pas punie, l'Amérique latine. En 2022, le match contre les Pays-Bas était clairement arbitré dans un sens et la finale contre la France était un enchaînement d'agressivité et d'insultes non punies. Il y a 2 jours, le Cap Vert s'est lui aussi fait voler sur plusieurs actions face à cette même Argentine, avec Infantino ne cachant même plus qu'il soutient l'Albiceleste…
Je ne suis pas expert de la géopolitique du foot, mais on sait qu'il y a des affaires quand à l'attribution des coupes du monde 2018, 2022, 2026 et 2034. Personne n'est aveugle face à ces scandales et au déroulement actuel de la Coupe du Monde. La FIFA salit l'image de notre sport (j'y joue depuis 10 ans) et c'est dommage pour le foot.
En tout cas, je soutiens la France d'abord et les outsiders (Mexique/Norvège) ensuite et j'espère que l'horrible Argentine sera battue et que le Paraguay tombera dans les oubliettes de l'histoire.

WOW.
AlJazeera just dropped a ONE HOUR documentary about ISRAEL’s CRIMES against the PALESTINIANS.
This is very HARD TO WATCH.

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night.
The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. The decimation of Gaza’s healthcare system including the detention of healthcare workers is central to Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Amnesty awarded Gaza: Doctors Under Attack at the Amnesty Media Awards last week. The work of everyone involved in making this documentary and fighting for it to be broadcast shows the importance of journalists willing to speak truth to power.

This video of Israel soldiers casually throwing what appears to be a Palestinian youth off from the roof of a building has shocked the world.
Look how comfortable they walk away after throwing the youth to his death.
As if they have done it 100s of times before.

Forza Europeans!
Only 200,000 signatures needed to push EU institutions to suspend the indecent partnership agreement with Apartheid Israel. Bcs it is not OK to make business with a State that commits intl crimes on a daily basis.
Power to the People.

BREAKING! Amid widespread bombing across Arab regions, Israel approves its largest-ever colonial expansion. Under the "fog of war'', what I warned on 14 Oct 2023 is unfolding: the largest ethnic cleansing/land grab in Palestine, since the Nakba. It’s happening. Under our watch.
BREAKING: More details come into view. #Israel’s Security Cabinet has reportedly approved 34 new settlements, further entrenching its unlawful presence deep within the occupied State of #Palestine. The secrecy surrounding the decree appears calibrated, not for domestic necessity, but to spare discomfort among allies in the region, Europe and the United States.
The ICJ Advisory Opinion on the Legal Consequences of the Occupation of Palestinian Territory (2024) was unambiguous. Israel is under an obligation to bring its unlawful presence to an end, unconditionally and without delay. Third States are under a corresponding duty not to aid or assist in maintaining that situation, and to cooperate to bring it to an end.
Yet the response has been one of studied inaction. The Court spoke with clarity; the world replied with silence. Israel, reading that silence for what it is, has chosen not restraint, but acceleration of its colonization efforts.

Mehdi Hasan just demolished the sacred “Israel has a right to exist” argument.
He exposed it for exactly what it is: classic Israeli propaganda designed to shut down all criticism and dodge accountability.
No state has a divine “right to exist.”
Nations exist through power, history, and recognition not magical immunity from scrutiny.
Stuck in that bullshit debate?
Mehdi drops three killer counter-arguments that flip the script every single time.

Why doesn't the media talk about the peacekeepers killed by Israel in Lebanon?
Israel deliberately killed three UN Indonesian peacekeeper and wounded others in Lebanon.
Israel cannot continue to be treated as a full member of the UN.
Attacking UN peacekeepers is an abomination which was in the past perpetrated by terrorists, but never by members of the UN.
Some of you pretended to care what the UN had to say in 1948. Do you care that the UN of today has had more UN personnel killed in the last 2 years than in its history.
This is the moment we can salvage what remains of the UN and international law. I call on everyone to unite for the sake of our humanity and to end impunity for violating international law.

🇱🇧 Sky News reports that Lebanese health workers in Nabatieh are now deliberately delaying their arrival at emergency scenes.
Why? They’re trying to avoid Israeli “double-tap” strikes, a pattern where a second strike hits rescuers after the first one.
War is ugly, but this is something else.
