'There's no official boycott' - we know, MM, you prick. You've made very sure of that.
We support the call from supporters, overwhelmingly voted through by the FAI’s membership, to demand that UEFA ban Israel from competition and to boycott all games involving the settler state.

Sign our petition to back these demands:

Israel now regularly ships dozens of bodies of people they’ve murdered to Gaza, without names and often with missing (likely harvested) organs.

As you can see from the Telegram reactions, Israelis think that’s hilarious.

First, the Trump administration said it detained Leqaa Kordia for an immigration violation.

Then, they used her participation in a pro-Palestine Columbia protest to justify it.

Now, they say she supports Hamas because she sent money to family in Palestine.

She has been detained for nearly a year:

Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future.

A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all.

This is a shocking move even for them.
People's homes are flooded and sewage is running down the streets cause of climate change and these clowns are deprioritizing doing anything about it.
The only thing they'll do is remove judicial reviews...
Half the country under water, but this is what Jack Chambers and this government think of Ireland's commitment to climate action, as if we needed any further proof that they couldn't give a shit.
