Emergency demo already called for the White House at 1pm. Love to all not going quietly. No to war. No to empire. No to a criminal regime built on a foundation of graft, racist violence, and child rape.

Big news no one is covering. My latest - along with Chuck Modiano - for @thenation.com "FIFA and UEFA Presidents Are Accused of Aiding Israelβs War Crimes". The complaint is being filed with the ICC in under two weeks. This does explain that FIFA Peace Prize a tad.

One can argue Trump understands this as much as anyoneβwhich is why he always makes sure that Infantino has a place at his feet. And yet, their open embrace of each other makes the case against Infantino that much easier.

FIFA and UEFA Presidents accused of complicity in war crimes and crimes against humanity - complaint to the Office of Prosecutor to be filed within weeks.
David Goldblatt is one of the most eloquent, articulate and principled voices in football. He spoke about the issue of FIFA's inaction over Israel at @playthegame-org.bsky.social last month, and his words feel particularly relevant today as FIFA seeks to evade accountability.
βCristiano Ronaldo is...abetting Donald Trumpβs efforts to sportswash, allowing the president to deflect attention from domestic chronic social problems & human-rights woes while looking important on the global stage.β www.nbcnews.com/sports/socce...

This is Trumps Peace Deal due to which UEFA and FIFA suspended their democratic processes started by FAs to expel Israel from football. There hasn't been a day where Palestinians weren't killed, including a 10 yr old shot and killed by IOF on his birthday while playing football in the West Bank.

This is huge!
The UN Secretary General presented Special Rapporteur's report to the UN General Assembly. Even though it deals with state actors accountability for genocide in Gaza, FIFA (and by analogy, UEFA) was explicitly mentioned as shielding Israel from accountability from "deserved expulsion"
Sure sounds like a good idea to let them come to Birmingham
www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent... As if seeking to back up the decision of West Midlands police to ban them from Birmingham, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans were today involved in a riot with Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters. Hapoel are seen as Israel's left-wing club.
These are the conditions in which my colleagues from Palestine FA work. Every week, IDF gas-bombs the HQ for no reason.
Because no phone calls were made from Israel and Zionists at the time.
WCK was just in Israel to serve food to on the hostage square. Do Israelis not have food? Or is this organisation using the money people sent them for Gaza to cook for Israelis?
Could it be that because Russia is banned, these clubs are not part of FIFA/UEFA structure, so they can't really do anything? Russians have been thrown out so maybe they can't expect them to comply with the territorial integrity rules?
Or perhaps Russians took a page from Israeli playbook?
He told Abbas that he wanted to visit Gaza. What is Infantino going to do in Gaza? PR stunt? Selfie tour? He certainly has no business of being in Gaza. He's helping Israeli occupation and colonisation of the West Bank and probably dreaming about Trump Riviera. Sickening.

That's exactly why we don't have nice things.
The issue was first tabled with FIFA in 2013 by the PFA, before FIFA decided not to act.
It was tabled again in 2024, and FIFA has continued to drag its feet. As per usual, FIFA delays instead exercising its leverage.

𧡠Gianni Infantino stresses the βimportance of promoting peace and unity, particularly in the context of the ongoing situation in Gazaβ, but FIFA has failed to address how football contributes to an illegal occupation and human rights abuses

The UN has blacklisted a construction company owned by Real Madridβs Florentino PΓ©rez, the president of #RealMadrid, for operating in occupied Palestinian land using local resources to build infrastructure that helps sustain Israelβs illegal settlements.

The next time someone parrots the line that sports are a beacon of peace, ask them if that slogan brought back any of the hundreds of Palestinian athletes slaughtered by Israel over the past 22 monthsβor if it just helped everyone sleep better at night.

Trump says that βif I didnβt send in the troopsβ to Los Angeles than Gianni could never have World Cup games there next year. Infantino, standing at his shoulder, watches on silently.
More than 800 athletes and officials have been killed in Israelβs genocide in Gaza. Those surviving are being starved with so many others.
Destroying Gazaβs cultural and social life goes hand in hand with the destruction of the Palestinian people.
Pls watch this AJ piece
youtu.be/u7fi4rmxN4A?...
"Figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database indicate five out of six Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza have been civilians, an extreme rate of slaughter rarely matched in recent decades of warfare."
www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...
They are continuing to kill sports stars across the disciplines.
