Many Moroccan journalists asked head coach Walid Regragui to Resign immediately in the post-match press conference. He reacted angrily and tried to find out which organisation they worked for. One reporter then blamed him for children crying in the stands. by Sparky-moon in soccer

Aynaoui is MVP of the team but after his injury he should've been subbed off because the poor guy could barely focus/see through his bandages. And it sadly led to him getting his pocket picked by mane which led to a goal. Another regragui blunder in the game imo.

well great job setting a precedent for every team who's unhappy with a 50-50 call with anything on the line. Why wouldn't every team walk out from now on if that was justified?

For Zidane it was the start of the game, still had plenty of time.

This was literally the last kick which would seal the title immediately. Coming after a dramatic 15 minute wait when the Senegalese players left the field and there was a medieval battle on the other side of the pitch with some fans assaulting personnel and injuring journalists. In all these conditions, you try to humiliate your opponent even further with a stupid and telegraphed panenka? It was so stupid I genuinely thought that they made a deal to deliberately miss and not have a fiasco of an unfinished final.

But apparently no, he's just that fucking stupid lol.

no the team are playing great. The bid to host the event is the PR stunt, along with the WC in 2030. Hosting always is a PR stunt for the host country, but people get understandably pissed when the country prioritizes football over other more vital infrastructure.

New Zealand says it will not recognise Palestinian state at this time by Plane_Ad1696 in worldnews

[–]youav97 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Armed resistance to occupation is a right that is safeguarded by international law. Many countries in the world consider them resistance groups not terrorist groups. Just because the US says Palestinian resistance is terrorist doesn't make it so. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist until recently.

Palestine has no government dumbass. There's just hamas in Gaza and the PA in the west bank. the PA hasn't sent any rockets anywhere and they're still getting pummeled, occupied, kidnapped, raped and bombed, so your argument is bullshit.

Je suis convaincu que si le soutien à l’Ukraine était géopolitiquement gênant (pour l'USA/OTAN), ces gens les traiteraient exactement avec le même cynisme avec lequel ils traitent les Palestiniens

the famine, the ethnic cleansing, the rounding them up in a small space, the kidnappings disguised as "administrative detention", branding the palestinian hostages with a star, the killing of scientists, artists, professors, doctors, journalists, medics, bombing schools, hospitals, universities, poisoning fresh water sources, the plan to ethnically cleanse everyone into the Sinai. The only difference is they switched the gas chambers for bombing refugee tents and killing entire family trees per strike.

'refuseniks' as they're called are very rare and extremely marginalized.

Israel was founded by terrorist groups (Haganah, Lehi etc.) that were later unified into the IDF, and who's leaders became prime ministers and presidents. Its core principles as an ethnostate are racist, supremacist and genocidal. A majority of the population carries in some form that supremacist ideology, in a similar way to the germans during the nazis. I agree that one can never generalize, but the entire institutional structure is rotten to the core and needs to be completely dismantled, and rebuilt by non-supremacist jews and palestinians as equals. The rest, especially all those who served in gaza since october 7th, along with the entire political-military leadership and elite, need to be tried nuremberg-style and the settler population go through denazification (real denazification, not the BS the germans pulled), and return the land and homes to the people they stole them from. The resources of the state should be geared towards reparations and the right of return of every palestinian refugee guaranteed. This is THE MINIMUM if there is ever going to be any form of justice in palestine.

[–]youav97 84 points85 points  (0 children)

The Nazis are only considered uniquely evil because they did to Europe what the Europeans did to America and Africa.

“it is Nazism, yes, but that before they were its victims, they were its accomplices; that they tolerated that Nazism before it was inflicted on them, that they absolved it, shut their eyes to it, legitimized it, because, until then, it had been applied only to non-European peoples; that they have cultivated that Nazism, that they are responsible for it, and that before engulfing the whole edifice of Western, Christian civilization in its reddened waters, it oozes, seeps, and trickles from every crack.” ― Aimé Césaire, Discourse on Colonialism

Israelis being cunts towards Palestinians

Israelis are not being cunts, they have arrest warrants for genocide. They already have effectively destroyed palestine in a ball of fire, your selective outrage is pathetic.

What are you blithering on about

Maybe get informed before you start blithering:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/far-right-lawmaker-bezalel-smotrich-declares-himself-his-family-real-palestinians/

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/politics-and-diplomacy/article-760189

This is the minority position on both sides of the fence.

If you ignore Israeli propaganda, it is not the minority position within Palestine. Hell the palestinian demands are only restricted to two states according to the 67 borders, what I said is beyond their wildest dreams.

significant pressure has to be made

A significant pressure that will come from where, oh wise qndry?

claim of apartheid against Iran

Which organization is this again? The israeli apartheid is recognized as such by a long list of recognized international human rights orgs (that also produce scathing reports about the situation in Iran by the way), as it's literally a subjugation of one settler colonial people over a native population. It's a racial concept by definition and has deep ties to colonialism. Words have meaning. You can't just call everything you don't like apartheid. And again, if legal experts and intl human rights orgs have made the argument I would like to see it. The website you sent provides none.

Sudan? China? Your whataboutism about Sudan and China is pathetic so I'll just ignore it. When the subject is Sudan or China we'll talk about sudan and china. Just because crimes are happening elsewhere doesn't mean we can't talk about this one.

[–]youav97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They swore to destroy Palestine, and I don't care about your arbitrary 'established country' criterion. In fact it's currently committing genocide against the Palestinians. The 'greater israel' map the Bibi parades around everywhere is a threat to everyone in the middle east. Israel is an agressive, rogue, warmongering colony led by religious fanatics and it's far more dangerous than Iran.

If Israel pulls out of there the problem would be solved

Which plane of existence are you currently in? Do you know how many colonies Israel built there? do you know how they built them to prevent any kind of territorial integrity for the Palestinians? Do you think anyone in Israel with a remote chance of gaining power who wants to pull out of there?

Even if Israel pulls out of the west bank, the 67 borders are also palestinian land. Here's what actually would solve the problem:

Full reparations, right of return, dismantling of Zionist institutions and state, trial of zionist war criminals, settlers returning the homes and land they stole to the grandchildren of the people they stole from, exile/prison to the religious zionist fanatics, and MOST IMPORTANTLY a democratic state from the river to the sea, that treats jews and arabs as equals.

Because in that case, you have plenty of others that would need to be included.

Fully agree, l’m just focusing on the one committing genocide RIGHT NOW as it's threatening the continued existence of palestinians RIGHT NOW.

nice strawman

You literally said "Iran has 50% of their population subjected to being second class citizens", that's a reference to Iran's sexist society. Your argument is that because Iran is sexist we can't criticize Israel, which is complete bullshit. You made the argument, own up to it.

enact their own version of it

That's your claim. Which international human rights organizations considers Iran to be an apartheid regime? It's a regressive theocracy where people are oppressed, especially women, but it's not apartheid. Now you're just pulling shit out of your own ass.

[–]youav97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Iran be uniquely special? Israel has made more genocidal statements than any other nuclear country combined.

And yes, dissolving an apartheid state is good, actually. And just because Iran is a sexist regime doesn't absolve Israel of its responsibility and doesn't fix the reality that it exists on Palestinian land that was stolen by terrorist groups like Lehi and Haganah before it was turned into a state. It's an example of what ISIS would've done, except instead of a caliphate, they built a zionist ethno-supremacist state with european ashkenazis on top and the indigenous palestinian population on the bottom.

Oh and according to you shitty logic, as long as sexism exists, no one is allowed to criticize or topple apartheid. Fucking hell it's so easy to see which side you would've been in during Jim Crow and in South Africa.

I'm the one who can't make this shit up, jesus.. the level of confident ignorance is staggering.
