FIFA continues to ban Russia from international competition because of its invasion of Ukraine, but not Israel, despite its genocide on Palestinians and its repeated invasions of Lebanon and attacks on Iran and other neighbors.

And now the president of Palestine's Football Association, Jibril Rajoub, has been banned from entering the U.S. or Canada for the 2026 World Cup because he refused to shake hands with Israeli's rep.

Fifa’s president, Gianni Infantino, said: “Everyone will be welcome in Canada, Mexico and the United States for the World Cup.” But when Rajoub was denied a U.S. visa, Infantino said that FIFA could not overrule the US government. “We need to respect that we are not the kings of the world who can rule over governments and police forces.”

French government agency (Viginum) accused an Israeli tech firm, BlackCore, of running a coordinated online disinformation campaign targeting Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney and the SNP ahead of the Holyrood election.

Hundreds of fake social media accounts posted coordinated comments aimed at Swinney and his party, particularly on posts related to his criticism of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip.

French authorities say the same firm has been linked to similar interference operations in other countries, though it is still unclear who commissioned the activity.

Why is Kier Starmer, a LAWYER of all trades, insist of implicating the UK in illegal activities and assisting international war crimes?

#UK voters have to give him a piece of their mind.

Of course, the UK has a long colonial history which explains a lot of their positions today.

#Palestine is not for sale, its native people want to live in their land.

“In late May 2026, Rome Pride organizers delivered a clear and courageous message: there will be no platform for complicity with genocide. Italy’s only Jewish LGBTQ+ organization, Keshet Italia, was barred from marching with its own float in the upcoming June 20 parade. The reason was straightforward and principled—Keshet refused to endorse Rome Pride’s political manifesto, which explicitly condemns Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza and demands a clear break from the Zionist state’s policies of occupation, apartheid, and extermination.”

Four Palestine Action activists have been sentenced at Woolwich Crown Court over a 2024 raid on an Elbit Systems factory near Bristol, after a judge applied a “terrorism connection” to the case.

Sentences ranged from just over five years to more than eight years, with the court ruling they must serve two-thirds of their terms before parole eligibility.

"Torture isn’t new to Palestinians": How Israel learned from colonialism

"Israel has practised torture against the Palestinians since the very beginning":

a colonial chain of sexual violence that "Britain rehearsed in Ireland, exported to Palestine, & repeated in Kenya; that France industrialised in Algeria; & that apartheid SA systematised."

"The 1967 Nakba That Israelis Don't Know About"

Just as today, soldier testimonials from the 1967 war show ethnic cleansing & murder was Israeli policy:

"At first I wasn't willing to execute Arabs who weren't resisting," one soldier said. Then we concluded "that we had to kill." We ceased "to see them as human beings."

"300,000 Arabs were expelled or displaced from the West Bank, Gaza & the Golan Heights" in the 6-day war.

NEW | UK Labels Palestine Action Activists as “Terrorists” - MEE

A British court sentenced four Palestine Action activists to prison terms ranging from nearly six to almost nine years after attaching a “terrorism connection” to their convictions over direct action targeting a facility owned by Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems.

The activists were convicted over a 2024 operation aimed at disrupting the company’s activities, which are linked to Israel’s genocide.

While none of the defendants were convicted of terrorism offenses, the judge ruled that their actions were politically motivated and intended to influence government policy.

The ruling is believed to be the first of its kind in British legal history, applying a terrorism-related designation to direct-action protesters convicted of criminal damage rather than terrorism crimes.

Defense lawyers condemned the decision, arguing that key evidence was introduced at the last minute and that the defendants were denied the opportunity to fully present the political motivations behind their actions.
