This game should never have been played. UEFA failed. FIFA failed. Norway failed.

3–0 for Norway. There’d be absolutely no difference if Israel were kicked out of international football, they make no impact anyway. Just do it FIFA.

The only difference is seeing soldiers who’ve committed war crimes — or are complicit in apartheid — playing on a football pitch. Absolutely bizarre.

Norway trashes Israel 5-0 in their World Cup Qualifying match & donate all the profits from their match to Gaza through Doctors Without Borders 🇵🇸

My only wish is that one day Scotland could be Independent like our Nordic neighbours & do the same.

Norway have not been to a men's World Cup since 1998. They're on the cusp of changing that 🇳🇴

They've six wins from six qualifiers, Erling Haaland has scored in every game—12 goals in all—and the locker room was bouncing after they thrashed Israel 5-0 💥

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

You are actually just a fucking moron.

The US committed genocide, and destroyed the north and south.

What the fuck are you doing here with this non-sequitor bullshit?

What the north is, has no bearing on whether or not the US, on its mission to squash latent communism, destroyed a whole people.

There is a genuine mental block amongst the elites in capitalist societies. Everything is collapsing and the hegemon is autocannibalising, but if that were true then they'd have to do something about it, and so they are doubling down on "everything is fine and normal."

Potentially, all travelers could be affected by this #EBSP – and people in need for protection.

when I think of Blinken, I think of his 2024 exit interview with the New York Times where the interviewer kept pressing him for some defense of the last four years and he went, “I don’t really do introspection and people don’t really care about foreign policy anyways.”
