Footage shows colonial Israeli settlers attacking and setting fire to Palestinian property in the Wadi Al-Rakhim area of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, last night.

Football journalist Luca Esposito shot dead and set on fire in horrific execution. Italian sports journalist Luca Esposito has died in the region of Eboli. Sounds like a mafia hit so far. Recently watched a short doc about how the mob infiltrated inter, Milan and Juventus via ultras. Various ultras around Europe, and the clip of AC Milan ultras lecturing the players and coaches struck me. Mafia, especially in southern Italy and Sicily, are still quite powerful, although I do believe that they have been weakened since the 90s. They got a bit of a bump over Covid apparently. When people were struggling and the government weren’t helping they swooped in and made some gains. It might be that he was not killed for something that was football related. One of the things that were said is that he had worked on some things that had to do with the buffalo mozzarella business (but they said it was for the Caserta area, not Battipaglia-Eboli which is where he was killed. Mozzarella has these two main areas of production) Basically every food product industry in italy is controlled by the ndrangheta. The italians really take their food seriously. With cost of living crisis organised crime are involved in all sorts of stuff nowadays, especially high value food like olive oil and cheese. The same reason as to why avocado business can be dangerous in Mexico. Organized crime likes to involve themselves in these sorts of industries.
