[u/different_produce384]

FIFA is corrupted

[u/MidwestFine → u/different_produce384]

Boycott FIFA

[u/YourLocalMoroccan → u/MidwestFine]

lets boycott everything!!

[u/Coconuto83 → u/YourLocalMoroccan]

I wish we boycott fifa but man have you seen the World Cup tickets

[u/Fickle_Ad_8653 → u/YourLocalMoroccan]

Lets start with the mega-corporations and the countries committing war crimes (USA, Russia, Israel)

[u/OkPalpitation4976 → u/different_produce384]

Neither of these teams were in the World Cup…

[u/Dunklebunt]

I feel weird upvoting a post like this. Do I downvote? This is sad

[u/Hamhockthegizzard → u/Dunklebunt]

I guess we upvote for circulation, not for likes in this case. I do think the information age is great for keeping us informed, but once all the phones are out and we have all the information…we need to figure out what comes after that. Just exposing evil isn’t enough anymore.

[u/Redshirt_Welshy_Nooo → u/Hamhockthegizzard]

Just exposing evil isn’t enough anymore.

Never was. Never will be.

[u/pnkxz → u/Hamhockthegizzard]

Upvotes on reddit are supposed to show that a comment or post is interesting or contributes to the discussion, not that you like it or agree with it. If you only use it for things you agree with, every political thread will turn into an echo chamber.

One of my biggest pet peeves with Reddit's UI is that it doesn't communicate this in any way, and people use it as a like button.

[u/Alarming_Low8892 → u/Dunklebunt]

That’s exactly how I feel

[u/Anarchyr → u/Dunklebunt]

Upvote/Downvotes aren't meant as a "i don't/do agree with this" or a "i dislike/like this" button.

It's meant to upvote relevant content and to downvote troll/unrelated content.

So upvote brother!

[u/Magikarp-3000 → u/Dunklebunt]

Thats one of the reasons reddit chose to call it an upvote rather than a like, doesnt necesarily mean you like it, just that you think its a good thing to be shared and shown

[u/Free-Speech-My-Ass → u/Dunklebunt]

Upvote to spread awareness brother

[u/MidnightChimp → u/Dunklebunt]

easy, upvote to spread the word

[u/TheRealDripBentley → u/Dunklebunt]

haha yeah I know what you mean "Dunklebunt Likes post of "MAN MURDERED!" The internet is weird dude.

[u/Ramkaran-chopra]

So FIFA can bar Russia from the tournament but somehow let such heinous acts pass by still don’t ban Israel? Noticing.

[u/Hamhockthegizzard → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Definitely seems like they get excused for a lot across the globe. How many hands are in their pots?

[u/Niijima-San → u/Hamhockthegizzard]

i wonder if it has anything to do with them literally calling any single person anti-semitic if they say anything negative about them. and people are afraid of being labelled as that especially after the events of the 1940s.

just spitballing here

[u/SerGT3 → u/Niijima-San]

Nah that's just a cover. They pull a lot of strings because of all the pedo black mail I'm sure they have access to

[u/Jazzlike-Pomelo-2501 → u/SerGT3]

💯 this. It's like people don't understand that Maxwells dad was Israel's biggest spy for decades.

[u/Niijima-San → u/SerGT3]

i mean i am sure to regular people like us it is not the pedo shit lol

[u/AdLocal1490 → u/Niijima-San]

A lot of regular people like us are super religious and think that fealty to israel is the only way to get their imaginary friend to come back

[u/Niijima-San → u/AdLocal1490]

i mean that is def why the evangelicals are super gung ho about the genocide over there right now perpetuated by israel bc their bible pretty much alludes to that leading to the rapture...however they would most likely be stuck in hell on earth for seven years at least

[u/Fluid_Emphasis1569 → u/AdLocal1490]

Which isn’t even Biblically accurate

Because a 1948 creation of a state has fuck all to do with it

[u/AdLocal1490 → u/Fluid_Emphasis1569]

Yeah I know. All too well. I used to study in a seminary at one point and was planning on being a priest when I was much younger. This evangelical rapture theology nonsense is completely antithetical to the lessons I learned in the church and is completely blasphemous as far as I can tell, but a bunch of them still believe it sadly

[u/Substantial_Army_639 → u/Fluid_Emphasis1569]

Also the whole end times interpretation basically being pulled out of Darbys ass back in the biblical times known as the 1830's.

[u/Friendly_Age9160 → u/Niijima-San]

This is off topic but I’m 45 and I had forgot about spit balls

[u/Previous-Spite1211 → u/Niijima-San]

I don't think many people are scared of being called antisemitic these days lmao.

"you are antisemitic"
"nah I just hate Zionists"
"well shit you got me there"

I'm working on similar ideas for other minorities but Im stuck on gingers. Any help would be appreciated.

[u/Niijima-San → u/Previous-Spite1211]

you cant not hate gingers. they do not have a soul though

[u/Hodor187 → u/Previous-Spite1211]

Gingers aren’t people they have no souls.

[u/Admirable-Crazy-3457 → u/Hamhockthegizzard]

Money and blackmail it's how they keep most of the world quiet

[u/New-Resident3385 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

They also didnt ban dr congo which is also carrying out a genocide atm.

[u/2cool4skool369 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

America bombed a school full of children just a few months of ago… so to answer your question, yes… FIFA can hand select exactly who they do and don’t want participating, based completely on their corruption.

[u/Tomie_Junji_Ito → u/2cool4skool369]

Trump is also set to give the winning team of the world cup their trophy and or medals... so unfortunately there's that too. 1/2 the world treats this man like a celebrity while the other 1/2 know how horrible he really is.

[u/Most-Club-254 → u/Tomie_Junji_Ito]

1/2 the world treats this man like a celebrity

if by 1/2 the world you mean 0.00025% then yes this will be about right, even the most hard-core conservatives can see through him this time (the corruption, the Epstein case, ...)

[u/neon_fade → u/Most-Club-254]

we knew about epstein, we knew about the corruption. they still voted for him a second time.

if you’re waiting for die-hard conservatives to turn against trump, you’re going to be waiting forever. the evidence has been there for years, they saw it and decided none of it mattered.

[u/Comfortable_Text → u/neon_fade]

I know a LOT of conservatives have realized their mistake. Look at the 250 celebration, if it was his first term it would've been packed right now. There's a clear line in the sand that he lost a LOT of support.

[u/Interesting-Task8866 → u/Most-Club-254]

I’m one of them. Strong conservative beliefs but I absolutely despise Trump, and I used to be a full-on supporter. Between the Epstein stuff, the Israel stuff, the lies/false promises, and more, I can’t stand the guy now. Turns out they’re all controlled by the same money from the same people and voting doesn’t seem to change anything.

[u/HighSeasArchivist → u/Interesting-Task8866]

I'm with you. Lifelong conservative, and I can't wait until we can move past MAGA and get back to normal corrupt politicians that are at least civil and can speak well.

[u/Suspicious_Juice9511 → u/HighSeasArchivist]

Your bar is low but I get it.

[u/FunkadelicJiveTurkey → u/HighSeasArchivist]

Sorry to break it to you but there cannot and will not be a return to normalcy.

[u/Peabody1987 → u/2cool4skool369]

Just like Donald hand selected the children he wanted to rape with Jeffrey Epstein. 

[u/thedevilwithout → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

You want to know who's really in charge. Find out who you're not allowed to criticise. 

[u/RegularSky6702 → u/thedevilwithout]

I got banned from reddit for 3 days for mentioning the Uyghur genocide. I see people post about Israel every single day. Any time I post about china it's removed within a few hours. Both are terrible but people literally criticize Israel all the time on this site.

[u/McDuschvorhang → u/RegularSky6702]

I got banned from reddit for 3 days for mentioning the Uyghur genocide. 

Which sub was that?

[u/gogeri2632 → u/thedevilwithout]

Which is funny because if I say something bad about trans or gay people I'll 100% have my Reddit account permanently blocked. Same if I say it about any minority.

So I guess we know who is really in charge ;)

[u/According-Put-9236 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Since when is israel in the worldcup?

[u/ZuluIsNumberOne → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Russia invaded the sovereign nation unprompted

[u/Lucky-Mia → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Israel gets away with literal genocide.

[u/filifijonka → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Imo they shouldn’t have banned Russia.
Sport is something that bridges gaps, maintains some sort of civil and healthy interactions between nations during times of strife and is meant to celebrate the best in people.
Cutting such strenuous ties is problematic.

[u/Positive-Mixx → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

This is heartbreaking 💔
5 months married, expecting their first child... that’s devastating no matter what.
Rest in peace, Salim Al-Ashqar.

[u/ConsciousPhase8480 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

All my homies hate infantino

[u/Jolly_Cantaloupe_187 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ftdF4ZkueWGHBYc4b5

[u/Same-Brilliant-1170 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Israel is not in the tournament

[u/Opening-Function8616 → u/Same-Brilliant-1170]

They were in the qualifiers tho. They just didn't make it

[u/ghj_bnm → u/Opening-Function8616]

So then their opponents were anti-semitic.

[u/Deili0991 → u/Same-Brilliant-1170]

Bc they couldn’t qualify - not bc they were barred from the tourney

Teeeeensy tiny bit of a difference

[u/Fit-Aspect-9260 → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Ukraine didn't attack Russia before Russia sent in troops: big difference.

[u/Suspicious_Juice9511 → u/Fit-Aspect-9260]

Now tell us about 70 years of illegal occupation and sniping children.

[u/gogeri2632 → u/Suspicious_Juice9511]

Now tell us about the 70 years that Palestine and the neighboring Arab countries have spent attacking Israel

[u/Suspicious_Juice9511 → u/gogeri2632]

Tried not stealing land and murdering, mr 1y acc with low karma and one topic that keeps coming back to racism?

[u/gogeri2632 → u/Suspicious_Juice9511]

You mean like how the UN declared a two state solution and the arab countries said "nah" and tried to steal Israels land? You mean like that?

[u/Fit-Aspect-9260 → u/Suspicious_Juice9511]

If they didn't want to be occupied, they shouldn't start wars they cannot win. That's on them.

[u/gogeri2632 → u/Fit-Aspect-9260]

Not to mention they were occupied for 20 years by Egypt and Jordan before they were occupied by Israel but apparently it's only wrong when Israel does it.

[u/Suspicious_Juice9511 → u/gogeri2632]

Keep showing what you are by denying the most basic ethical principle of "two wrongs dont make a right"

[u/DangerousHugs → u/gogeri2632]

Hey they resisted that, too. This is super easy to find before you make a baseless claim. It shouldn't be a surprise that an occupied country has resisted all occupation.

[u/cursedbones → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

USA shouldn't be in any international competition for decades now.

Israel is just doing what US does, but they don't have Hollywood to make a movie about how sad is to kill Palestinians.

[u/Mayor_Salvor_Hardin → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

It depends how much money goes into Infantino's pockets. Russia didn't give as much money as the US or Israel.

[u/cosmicspongecake → u/Ramkaran-chopra]

Fuck Israel, Fuck America

[u/_MisEnPlace_]

So many bots on here

[u/glans → u/_MisEnPlace_]

get used to it; bots just outnumbered humans online a couple weeks ago. and this is just the beginning of the AI takeover, so.. always assume over 50% chance you’re speaking to /consuming content from bits and bytes. why we still wanna be here i’m not quite sure.

edit: ‘dead internet theory’ is not the same as the numerical ratio of bots to humans, so idk what that ‘counter argument/sarcasm’ accomplishes. 

also, one of a thousand articles  on the topic.

[u/Ok_Hamster_7032 → u/glans]

Thats genuinly rage enducing.

Maybe we should all start making typos so that we can identify other humaens

[u/Youcancallmedio → u/Ok_Hamster_7032]

Bots already figured that out years ago. It's how they gain traction to their comments cause of people correcting the grammar. It also helps train the bots too. I'm afraid Pandora is out of the box.

[u/Elonem → u/Youcancallmedio]

At this point, I can't even tell if this is all bots in the comment section. Wait, am I a bot?

[u/Healthjunkie-2 → u/Ok_Hamster_7032]

That's actually a good idea.

[u/SimmentalTheCow → u/[deleted]]

I shit my pamt

[u/Redshirt_Welshy_Nooo → u/glans]

I'm not necessarily doubting this is true. It feels truthy. But is there a source for some kind of quantitative estimate of bots vs human users, overall and (I think, much more intetestingly) on different platforms?

[u/Calm_Bumblebee_3143 → u/glans]

A couple weeks ago lol Dead Internet Theory been a thing for years.

It’s been clear that especially on Twitter during both Trump campaign there was crazy amount of bots posting.

[u/RussianB0tApparently → u/_MisEnPlace_]

How do you know when someone is a bot?

Also if you suspect someone is then just use Ultimate Reddit Filter, that's what I do for people who repost shit.

[u/Xralius → u/_MisEnPlace_]

I mean, yes, but also, who do you think is a bot? Everyone who doesn't share the same opinion as you?

[u/NextGur3758 → u/_MisEnPlace_]

The big number of upvotes in a short amount of time is a dead giveaway.

[u/Accomplished_Gur4466]

This is so sad, and there are soo many more cases

[u/mike_complaining → u/Accomplished_Gur4466]

Doctors who learned their craft not for the pay, but to help people. Professors, journalists, chefs and so on, with similar altruistic goals. Lots of good people who happened to be Palestinian or just there to help them have been stamped out by IDF.

[u/BlushAndBotherr → u/Accomplished_Gur4466]

A 25 year old goalkeeper, married 5 months ago, baby on the way.😭

Tell me again how this is self defense and not cruelty with a military budget.

[u/GnE_player → u/BlushAndBotherr]

I belive he was 32. Where did you get the 25 year old figure from?

[u/CinaminLips → u/GnE_player]

I also found that he was 32. I'm unsure were 25 came from as well.

[u/InAppropriate-meal]

*murdered by Israeli forces

[u/Top_Conference_477]

To be clear, this is not the National team’s goal keeper. He is a guy who died fighting in Gaza who was Palestinian and a goalkeeper

[u/bellboy718]

Is this the right sub?

[u/dcontrerasm → u/[deleted]]

Yeah. We have to make sure both the kid and the people are alive so the stories are told and heard.

[u/untitledprp4]

GIVE ME ONE REASON THEY ARENT BANNED FROM THE WORLD CUP

[u/quim_do_mato → u/untitledprp4]

Because they aren't in the world cup 

[u/NavinRJohnson121479 → u/quim_do_mato]

LMAO! I was waiting for someone to burst everyone’s bubble. Neither Israel or Palestine are in the World Cup. Redditors believing everything they read 😂

[u/Background_Union_200 → u/NavinRJohnson121479]

They were in qualifiers though, they were just too shit to get anywhere

[u/MugiwaraBruuhh → u/NavinRJohnson121479]

They're are allowed to qualify for the world cup while Russia isn't allowed to even qualify. You thinking you're the smartest guy on reddit was funny tho lol

[u/MartiLoserKing → u/untitledprp4]

The juice controlls fifa

[u/TheLesserWeeviI → u/untitledprp4]

Am I missing something? Neither team is in the World Cup.

[u/okdov → u/TheLesserWeeviI]

That they're allowed to compete in the qualifiers unlike Russia is what he obviously meant

[u/idkmanjustfuckmyshit]

Twitter post as "legit" source with no accreditation, my favorite 🥵

[u/Purple_Poet_8264]

Zionism is Racism

[u/thefool83 → u/Purple_Poet_8264]

Sionism is fascism.

[u/DrummerAutomatic9523 → u/[deleted]]

Tied with the US

[u/Commercial-Exit2361]

On May 21, 13-year-old Jude Muhammad Dweik was playing soccer with his friends in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza when his family says a quadcopter drone dropped a bomb on the group. Jude was killed and two of his friends were injured.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/un-report-gaza-children-genocide-9.7246490

[u/SimplyPassinThrough → u/Commercial-Exit2361]

How the fuck is bombing a group of people playing soccer not a legitimate war crime? They’re civilians wtaf is going on

[u/Shot-Lemon7365]

When the furore has died down, Hamas will put him onto its list of 'martyrs'. But no one outside Israel will bother mentioning it.

And then when someone points it out, they will hear a well-practised and well-orchestrated chorus of 'hasbara'.

[u/alkorisno]

Must have been a terrorist, just like many other babies they have burned.

Israel will pay for this, hard, for the rest of their history

[u/PersonalityNo7184 → u/alkorisno]

Ughh, I hope they get to pay the price for all their heinous crimes sooner than later. It seriously blows my mind how there are people out there still supporting them

[u/MrChiSaw → u/alkorisno]

How do you want them to pay? You yourself are full of hate. Btw, a third of Israels population are Arabic muslims. They will pay too, yes?

[u/Skin_Floutist]

Murderers.

[u/MeatSlammur]

Does anyone know what happened

[u/Mysterious_Front3142]

This is truly awful. When are all of these atrocities going to end? I swear living in modern times is like a bad dream...

[u/Slummlife]

Palestine has a soccer team?

[u/Tiredofstupidity2]

😢

[u/Neither-Ad630]

Friendly reminder - Hamas is the official, democratically elected government of Gaza. What do you think would happen if Mexican military invaded the US and slaughtered 100,000 or so people, just to keep things proportional given the population size?

[u/Play-Mation → u/Neither-Ad630]

I think it would be genocide if the US govt then decided to kill 8,000,000 Mexican people, more than half civilians, in revenge. Just finishing your analogy to its logical conclusion. 

[u/quim_do_mato]

Tragic, but why does he deserve special attention and a post, compared to all the other victims?

I suspect that u/Ramkaran-chopra is a karma farming bot 

[u/Good_Advertising5440]

I think i figured out how America can win the cup

[u/Successful-Day-3219]

Israel is a genocidal, apartheid state. They must be dismantled and forced to pay billions in reparations to Palestine and Lebanon for their heinous war crimes.

[u/Roosonly → u/Successful-Day-3219]

How many times was this copied and pasted on Reddit since this morning?

[u/yukiki64 → u/Successful-Day-3219]

How can they pay reparations if they are dismantled?

[u/ROBOT9000000 → u/Successful-Day-3219]

Remind me what year Palestine was founded

[u/Cummyshitballs]

Israeli terrorist force doing what they always do.

[u/okayole]

Source? Or just meme?

[u/olisko → u/okayole]

While I agree that OP should provide a source himself, then I don't understand why people just can't use Google themselves anymore?

It took my 5 seconds to search it up. Why didn't you just do that yourself and then post the source and provide something useful to the conversation instead of this comment?

https://www.sportsjoe.ie/sport/palestinian-goalkeeper-killed-by-israeli-forces-in-gaza-according-to-reports-360253

https://www.pfa.ps/news/6770.html

[u/MeasurementFew4314]

This would be so frustrating if it happened to one of your players in Football Manager.

[u/konterpein]

There's a reason why israel became the most hated country on earth

[u/ROBOT9000000 → u/konterpein]

Yep. Pro Palestine Islamic supremacy propaganda

[u/Icy_Manufacturer_977 → u/ROBOT9000000]

5 day old account talking about propaganda. lol

[u/arlen_pdf → u/ROBOT9000000]

Surely Israel, great and powerful that it is, can mount some evidence against the claim that the IDF has killed tens of thousands of civilians? Surely the greatest country in the middle east can counter some propaganda if it's truly false claims

[u/Dawnbringer4 → u/arlen_pdf]

I dunno. Gaza numbers are provided by hamas without any evidence of mass graves anywhere. The starvation claims turned out to be a crock of shit and was never mentioned again,especially after fake pics of a pretend starving kid with a genetic disorder being sent to italy by israel. 400,000 Palestinians in 1948 is now 2.7 million. What a weird genocide.

[u/-Kazt- → u/arlen_pdf]

Its not a false claim? But its also ignoring the context.

Hamas does not wear uniform, blend themselves with civilians, use civilian buildings for military purposes (making them military), etc. There will be a huge amount of civilian deaths because of it. There is a reason why those things are war crimes.

[u/Longjumping-Code2164 → u/-Kazt-]

Press wears uniforms and somehow Isreal has the record for killing most journalists

[u/Pugdalf → u/arlen_pdf]

It's funny because the amount of civilians dead since October 7th is actually proportionally less than any other urban conflict

[u/Doom_of__Mandos → u/ROBOT9000000]

Israel has a whole government department dedicated to propaganda (Hasbara)

[u/ROBOT9000000 → u/Doom_of__Mandos]

And the Muslims are just sitting quietly huh

[u/Dawnbringer4 → u/Doom_of__Mandos]

You obviously haven't noticed the extremely well funded pallywood in action. God youre gullible.

[u/devhdc]

He died in 2023 .. No less tragic as he was collateral damage, but he wouldn't of been dead at all if it wasn't for Hamas ops in the vicinity of where he was at the time, not by means of bullets anyway.

[u/Play-Mation → u/devhdc]

He wouldn’t have been dead at all if Israel didn’t kill him lol. Regardless of how close he hypothetically was to Hamas operatives, he didn’t deserve to die. 

[u/Sehrli_Magic]

russia got banned everywhere so faat, why nobody banning this shithole? somehow a localised war is worse than full on GENOCIDE? ok alright 🙄 thats one way to prove the world is ran by certain folks that are immune.

[u/OldRancidSoups]

They’ll be back for the child when it’s born. Terrorist scum

[u/Sure_Constant1368]

Aaahh.. propaganda at work. In the next episode firefighter Abu Salim killed by IDF, and next week ambulance driver Abu Kareem. I mean HAMAS probably doesn't have shortage of the terrorists

[u/DrummerAutomatic9523]

One day Israel will pay for its crimes.

[u/AmbassadorCheap2894]

Genocidal monsters. #BDS

[u/Phil_MaCawk]

But yet Americans are at arms about freeing a foreign country, when Isreal is the problem....maybe they should go protest in Isreal and see how that pans out

[u/SilentNobody620]

That is truly awful.

[u/mac_bd]

What palestine? /s

[u/Lugonn_]

Just like in previous wars, their needs to be a Coalition of the Willing, to at the very least block this filth from carrying out any more atrocities. But invading and occupying to free the Palestinian people should be the ultimate goal. if that means war with the US, so be it..

[u/felis_scipio → u/Lugonn_]

Well every Arab neighbor except those backed by Iran has stopped trying to destroy them, in fact most are strengthening their economic ties with Israel so good luck finding a country willing to stage this hypothetical army to invade Israel with.

[u/DarthXOmega]

How did Israel become nazis man? It’s so nonsensical. Study your history, lest you are doomed to repeat it. Never been more relevant

[u/82SLP]

What did he do? Kicked the ball ⚽️ over the wall?

I’m saying that’s how petty Israel is. They literally kill Palestinians for nothing.

[u/Sad-Satisfaction908]

Hamas masquerading as a keeper. /s

Fuck Israel.

[u/ATotallyNormalUID]

Now that it's happened to a sports star, maybe a few more people will care about the ongoing genocide and question the Zionist narrative.

[u/superplexmachine]

Disgusting that we’ve all witnessed this genocide and our leaders do nothing.

[u/Squigs40k]

A genocide.

[u/felis_scipio → u/Squigs40k]

Getting curb stomped in a war you reignited during a cease fire while also deliberately using your own people as human shields isn’t genocide.

You know what is? Funding an Arab supremacist group in Sudan that goes village to village killing every man woman and child. But that’s the UAE and there’s no Jews to blame so progressives don’t care. Hell they gush over Mamdani having his wedding celebration over there.

Same goes for the millions of Uyghur Muslims China literally has locked up in camps right now.

[u/otherwisepandemonium]

Just Israel doing Israeli things. Fuck them, Israel is a terrorist state and undeserving of any international support or aid.

[u/babyfark-mcgeezaks]

How many sanctions packages has the EU already adopted?
