In 1966, when North Korea qualified for the World Cup, England tried to stop the team from playing on its soil.

FIFA then threatened to hold the World Cup somewhere else in protest of "interference with the sanctity" of the games.

So how did FIFA become so corrupt today?

"The only lesson from a genocide would be not to repeat genocide," says Wieland Hoban.

"What Germany is doing, it goes beyond just support or acquiescence from the sidelines. The material participation of Germany is essential to the execution of the genocide. It's the second largest arms supplier to Israel after the United States."

"The colonization of Palestine cannot be separated from the history of southern Lebanon," says Dyab Abou Jahjah (npub1tvr…k25v).

Israel occupied seven Lebanese villages in 1948 and annexed them, followed by continuous Israeli agitation meant to extend Israel's borders into the Litani River, one of the declared goals of the Zionist movement.

Today Israel is still trying to fulfill that colonial aspiration through the terrorization and ethnic cleansing of South Lebanon via imaginary security zones.

The prevalence of suicide among Israeli soldiers reveals how deadly awareness can be. The suicides have proliferated at a later stage in the genocide, when soldiers have started to realize that they have lied to themselves.

The disinformation, however, started from the very beginning. On October 16, 2023, when Knesset member Aida Touma-Sliman cried out "Why are you killing the children?" Merav Ben-Ari from the opposition party Yesh Atid responded: "The children brought it upon themselves" (Knesset, 2023).

In this third episode of Media Wars, hosts Bassam Haddad and Mouin Rabbani speak with Ali Hashem (@Alihashem) from Tehran on the various developments as seen from a local lens. Assal Rad (@AssalRad) addresses how the corporate media is covering the war against Iran, Jehad Abusalim (@JehadAbusalim) shares a new project to document the Gaza Genocide, and Mona Kareem details increased repression in Gulf States during this war. Nahid Siamdoust (@nahid8) sheds light on the international media landscape pushing for regime-change narratives.

Media / Wars examines the truths and absurdities of our era, centering on the US–Israel war on Iran. Fast-paced and eclectic, it blends media roundups with commentary and analysis to expose the folly and brutality of empire and imperial media. The program moves between granular detail and broad historical and geopolitical context, treating weighty, world-altering subjects in a casual, sometimes irreverent voice.

Cities are the most complex product of human societies.

They have been both the most effective civilizational gauge and the embodiment of various civilizations of the past.

Names such as Thebes, Babylon, Athens, Rome, Baghdad, Cordoba, Cairo, Tenochtitlan, Constantinople/Istanbul, and Paris not only designate some of the greatest cities in human history; they also epitomize the civilizations that built them and prospered in them.

The destruction of cities has carried connotations of power and dominion not so different from those of construction, as if the two acts were the opposite faces of the same emblematic coin. Gods destroyed cities as punishment, retribution, or projection of their divine power.

Jasper Nathaniel (@infinite_jaz) on the Israeli pogroms in the West Bank

“Settler violence is virtually never prosecuted. When you do see people coming out and condemning settlers, people like to say the military stands by and watches it, and they then don’t prosecute them, that is actually not only is it understating it, but it’s categorically mischaracterizing it, because the violence is part of the government policy of expanding settlements.

There is simply no way for Israel to meet the goals that Smotrich has set to settlement growth without violently expelling Palestinians.”

In the US and Europe, we’re predictably seeing these media act as stenographers for empire, doing very little from the beginning to question official narratives about wars and the war crimes being committed.”

On the Egypt-Palestine Connection

Every single turning point in the history of Egyptian dissent has been either directly or indirectly linked to the Palestinian cause.

When Egyptians see Palestinians resisting, they tend to ask questions: Why is our government collaborating with Israel? This sentiment quickly turns into anti-regime dissent in the country.

That’s why Egyptian regimes hate Palestinians and fear domestic solidarity and mobilizing over Palestine. That's why during the First Intifada, Safwat al-Sharif issued directives to television stations to censor news about the uprising because it was inflaming Egyptian university campuses at the time.

The series explores how Israel sustains its war machine despite mounting casualties, economic stagnation, and international isolation—revealing a society held together by financial manipulation, arms industry profiteering, and deepening political fragmentation. Through five interviews bridging academic analysis and informed commentary, economist Dr. Shir Hever examines the unsustainable contradictions driving Israel's social, political, and economic collapse amid the Gaza genocide.

This is precisely the Palestinian challenge: to ensure that the unprecedented global mobilization of the past twenty-four months is not only maintained but amplified, but will now also envelop the Arab world. Because particularly at this juncture and with this US president, Arab states have genuine leverage. They must be compelled to use it, not only on behalf of the Palestinian people but, just as importantly and as demonstrated by recent events, on behalf of their own national security.

But if we're talking about the dominant values of western governments, western elites, western corporations, the western media, you have to admit that settler, colonialism, white supremacy, militarism, these are western values. These are very strong. Not that they don't exist in other places, but they are very clearly western values.”

The Palestinian BDS movement has never called for a blanket boycott. It has always called for targeted boycotts against complicit institutions. It targets complicity, not identity, targets institutions, not individuals.”

2025-08-06T13:52:51Z

Even if made real, European recognition of Palestine has often been symbolic and inconsistent—some states recognized Palestine during the Cold War but later revoked or undermined it (e.g., Czech Republic, Hungary), demonstrating how recognition without sanctions or coherent policy is hollow. Meanwhile, recent recognition by Ireland reveals the risk of political opportunism. Ireland used its recognition of Palestine to delay effectuating a settlement trade ban as well as prohibiting the transit of weapons or divesting from Israeli bonds.

So we've been fed the lie about the sanctity that with which they hold the lives of their soldiers, the lives of their dead, that Israel cannot withstand the kind of losses that other countries can. And now we see, especially in the last month or so on average, three to four Israeli soldiers being killed every day and the war continuing because like the settlers that were sent to North America and the settlers that were sent to Australia, they were lesser citizens of the metropole than their counterparts that stayed behind.”

“Two things are true. The Palestinian fighters who attacked unarmed Israeli Jews in their homes, and the architects of the operation carried out on October 7th and 8th, are responsible for their actions. These attacks were organized by the Hamas military organization, whose charter officially named Jews, not only Israelis or Zionism, as part of the problem. It is also true that a devastating blockade, routine, murderous, military bombardments, including full-scale campaigns between 2006 and October 6th, 2023, all in the name of a state whose political, legal, and cultural pillars are rooted in Jewish supremacy on behalf of, and in the name of, Jews worldwide sends a message that these policies are Jewish rather than driven by a nuclear power with one of the strongest armies in the world. And this false conflation of Jews with the Israeli state places the burden on Palestinians to constantly reject this formulation, repeatedly codified in Israeli law since 1950.” - Shira Robinson

When I and others talk about international law and the application of international law, it's not because we believe that international law is going to be the savior, and it's not because we believe solely in a system of international law … it’s a tool.”

“The problem is not the Jewish presence in the Holy Land. It's always been there. The problem is not even high levels of Jewish immigration to Palestine. The problem here is a colonial agenda of transforming an overwhelmingly Arab territory into an exclusivist and supremacist Jewish state, which required the removal of the Arab population.“

“In recent years, I have worked more for Al Jazeera's investigative unit, which I have to say on this subject, certainly on the issue of Palestine, the Middle East is an absolute liberation. Al Jazeera is owned by a Gulf dynasty … it's owned by the government of a country which internally does not have freedom of the press. And that rather begs the question, how on earth is it that a Qatari owned media company can do journalism which is so much better than the BBC on this topic?”

How to critique Israel without risking being smeared antisemitic? Emergency Teach In S48 E4 is here! With Special Guest Mouin Rabbani (npub19fe…j4nv). Israel is impossible to criticize because of its unparalleled democracy, glowing human rights record, and the goodwill it spreads around the world, not least in Gaza. Despite its blemish-free record, sometimes it is healthy to offer some constructive feedback so that Israel can fine tune its impeccable governance model.
In this 4th Episode of Season 48 Emergency Teach Ins we demonstrate how one can consider attempting to contemplate the unfathomable possibility of perhaps critiquing Israel and its policies maybe without running the risk of being smeared as Antisemitic in America. We provide elaborate teaching guides and data-driven models you can use to navigate this precarious terrain. Featuring expert hosts of “3Arabs&,” Bassam Haddad, Sinan Antoon, and Adel Iskandar, a multinational triglyceride think tank that provides satirical dilution to contemporary banalities.

We welcome a foreign guest for the first time, Mouin Rabbani Mouin Rabbani (npub19fe…j4nv), the Special Hard Tasks guy like from Pulp Fiction to aid us in this endeavor.

Featuring the expert hosts of “3Arabs&,” Bassam Haddad (@4bassam), Sinan Antoon (@SinanAntoon), and Adel Iskandar (@MinotaurLives), a multinational triglyceride think tank.

Palestine is a litmus test. If the AHA council refuses to recognize a genocide that has played out live on the internet, that has been condemned in the court of global opinion (and in global courts), and which their membership overwhelmingly opposes, how can we, queer and trans scholars, expect them to show even an ounce of backbone in opposing American fascists’ increasingly genocidal rhetoric and plans to “eradicate” us from public life.

“Corporate capitalism is different from oligarchic capitalism, and the irony is that corporate capitalism created the oligarchic class by deregulating the tax codes … oligarchs are very different in a sense that they thrive on chaos. They don't actually produce anything, they're the pure form of rentier capitalism … rentier capitalism is about extraction. They don't actually produce anything, but they take vital services that they extract and they want the destruction of the wider society.”

Emergency Teach-In EP3 is Coming! As we try to keep up with the perfectly reasonable, moral, and measured policy positions and statements, we wondered . . . Is the United States Becoming a Shithole Country?

Contrary to popular thought, becoming a shithole country comes with some huge perks. Who needs to think about and spend precious resources on education, healthcare, environmental protection, creating jobs and other laborious and inconvenient chores? The “shithole” concept was a paradigmatic and pedriatic shift in how global policy is conducted. Trump’s latest dump poses new questions we will consider rigorously and religiously, God willing. Also, who does not like resorts?

I recognize that, but it says it's sort of like a matter of elementary justice that these people shouldn't be able to keep getting away with it.”

2025-01-24T18:16:36Z

“No Zionist who self respecting is actually showing up to debate the rigors of their position, such as they may exist or indeed the justness of their position, which doesn't exist. It's too difficult to argue that there should be a state based on race, that there should be an apartheid state, that this idea that you can displace and replace another people is consistent with any notion of democracy. It is just on its own terms indefensible. And as a result, you've seen actions taking place by Zionist organizations globally to stop debate.”
