I just saw a onesie filled with the ashes and bones of a Palestinian baby….
The daily horrors in Gaza never ended. The lack of coverage is by design to make you believe they did.
Imagine calling the condemnation of a war criminal “a waste of time.” That’s what elected officials are actually supposed to be doing, not hosting them.
Remember when you were told Israel wouldn’t a attack a hospital? Look at the date.
If you follow Western media, you would have no idea that this was Gaza today, because they pretend nothing is happening.
Words that describe what Israel is doing in the West Bank:
-Occupation
-Ethnic cleansing
-Pogroms
-Terrorism
-Illegal
Words the media uses:
-Clashes
-Military operation
-Raids
-Settler attack
-Riots
People are upset about the World Cup because instead of bringing the world together it’s another reminder of how unjust the world is.
It’s not a conspiracy. A Somali referee was denied entry to the U.S., that’s a fact. The U.S. tried to swap Iran for Italy, and then mistreated the team, that’s a fact. The U.S. president made a call to reverse a red card for an American player, that’s a fact…
From discrimination and over-priced tickets, to commercial breaks and VAR issues, many people who have watched and enjoyed the World Cup since childhood are more than disappointed. The whole tournament was tainted from the beginning, starting with a fake peace prize to gratify the host country.
