It’s crazy how the soccer games are a major distraction for countries..
I don’t know how this comment makes me feel because even people at the displacement shelters here in Lebanon are excited to watch the World Cup.
I feel like a lot of people, especially Americans who do not care for football, underestimate how universal this is. It’s much more honest of a distraction from the horrors of life than corpo pop culture
Edit: On second thought I know exactly how I feel. I think this is pretty condescending. The world is fucked. A hostile army is inside my country and I believe we are being pressured to formally allow them to occupy land so we don’t fuck up the peace deal that is being negotiated right now. We have zero agency over what happens in our fucking country, regardless of how democratic or feudal we are.
Let us at least enjoy the football. The Olympics and World Cup were frequently hosted by dictators, doesn’t minimize the feats people achieved or the fun of watching. Bread and circuses is some first world reductionism. People need bread. A bit of circuses is fun. Meeting up with friends and watching the games is always great, especially when you consider the only other thing to talk about is being fucked by war or fucked by work (if you think the economy is rough where you are, it’s probably not worse than here). If it’s at home FIFA isn’t getting any money out of us anyway.
I think it was more commenting on the rest of the world being occupied with the world cup and Israel using that distraction to attack, knowing the coverage will be more limited because of it. By all means take any joy or solace you can get.
like how heavily it wash pushed too. add in alittle iran war news too. its so unnatural how much airtime its getting, when the past events dint even get noticed by news that much. of course INFANTINO is all in for the distraciton.
I hate sports and the olympics for that very simple purpose. The only times I gave a fuck about FIFA was in 1998 and 2010. 1998 because I was literally in Paris when France was winning (have you ever walked in the streets of Paris and were 100% alone? Yeah, it is a bizarre feeling) and in 2010 because I was learning German and all the meetup groups at the time wanted to watch the games.
The irony is not beyond me in saying this, but.. I hope someone nukes Israel off the map, enough of this shit. Fuck your "promised land", terrorist pieces of shit.
Unfortunately, at times it feels like that is the only thing that would stop that death cult. However, I would hope instead all countries dropping support for israel and sanctioning them until they stop would be enough.
They're arrogant because of all the backing they've received from powerful countries over the years. They need to be humbled.
I don’t think sanctioning Nazi germany would have helped. I think this will turn into a world war to stop the United States/ Israeli greater genocide project and both sides will be sponsored by the Rothschild’s
I kinda feel like we should glass every sacred holy site of any imperialistic religion worldwide.
... and then Jesus comes, right?
I mean, a world without Israel is enough to make me come. If Jesus wants to join in on the action, why not let him? For old times sake.
There's a couple million Palestinians living there that do not deserve to be nuked.
Very Israeli and MAGA mindset
I can't help but agree. Sometimes you just need to send a message, in WW2 with Japan.
It's either that, or let 10 million people bully the whole world.
"God is great, god is great... god is great, My house is gone! Gone!"
Couldn't understand the rest
Why would Kamala Harris do this?
This is TERRIBLE! Oh wait ISRAEL did this? OP is ANTI SEMETIC! This is GREAT!

What's the context here?
Is this what they're hoping to do in Iran as well?
In a just world, this video would've been filmed in Tel Aviv
In a good world, this video wouldn't ever be filmed
Annexed would be the more technical term. See Jeffrey Epstein's map of "Greater Israel" for details.
But the mainstream media is report it?
Unless it's in Lebanon, Pennsylvania then it's not being shown on US news.
And if it is, it's only on a local TV station for that area.
Man, hope they didn't double tap the camera man
Man that's some serious adrenaline shake right there.
What are the government/politicians you pay taxes to doing about this?
A lot! Where do you think the bombs to do it with come from?
side note: ethnically cleansed is a horrible phrase. I know it doesn't mean the face value but it sounds terrible.
I mean, yeah, but there aren't many more palatable phrases forbidden appears to be happening here.
Sorry but what's the face value meaning?
"Cleansing" implies what's being removed is dirt.
other than calling it genocide, which is the same thing.
