@nathanmotz @ReturnOfTheMig Well... If they keep increasing the number of participating teams, it may be quite a while yet...

@ReturnOfTheMig Well I hope not, but it will likely happen at some point

@romeu @CMOtwitting_pt Se a preocupação fosse exclusivamente de segurança, como se explica que Netanyahu tenha entretanto dado ordem para o Patriarca ter acesso pleno ao Santo Sepulcro? Foi retaliação, pura e simples, e não é a primeira vez.

@CMOtwitting_pt Apenas existe permissão para eventos até 50 pessoas quando existe um abrigo antimíssil próximo, algo que não é o caso da Igreja do Sagrado Sepulcro. Fora isso estão proibidos os ajuntamentos. O próprio cardeal o reconheceu. x.com/i/status/20382…

Reparem na arrogância do governo de Israel: não foi o Presidente, o PM ou um ministro que contactou a Igreja Católica. Foi a polícia que impediu fisicamente o Bispo de entrar na Igreja. Em toda Jerusalém o limite de presença em igrejas ou sinagogas é de 50 pessoas. O Bispo ia acompanhado de talvez duas pessoas. Eram 2 ou 3. Shame on Israel.

O Porto a colocar produtos intoxicantes no balneário do adversário? Nunca! Jamais! Como é que alguém poderia sequer imaginar tal coisa? sicnoticias.pt/desporto/modal…

@tesfanews @Michael_eritrea In your question you say many ride for European teams. Did they start in Eritrea or in the diaspora? If in the diaspora, then that answers your question...

@Michael_eritrea You’re not answering my question. What does a “repressive regime” have to do with the football, but not cycling? 🤡

🇪🇷 Eritrea are set to make their long-awaited return to the international stage against Eswatini on Wednesday, but why have they been in football exile for so many years and what has prompted their return? Here are eight facts about one of football's most secretive nations. THREAD 🧵

BREAKING: Rabbi Yehuda Gilad, head of Yeshivat Ma’ale Gilboa, visited Khirbet Humsa in the West Bank following a settler pogrom in which a 29-year-old Palestinian farmer was sexually assaulted, his family was beaten, and hundreds of his sheep were stolen. Below is his full statement, translated from Hebrew: Letter from the Head of the Yeshiva, Rabbi Yehuda Gilad With God’s help, Rosh Chodesh Nisan — “a time of atonement for all their generations” Yesterday I went through a very difficult and deeply disturbing experience. I visited Khirbet Humsa (about a 30-minute drive from our yeshiva), where a pogrom carried out by hilltop youth took place about a week ago. I heard the details of what happened there from several sources, including Ruti — a woman I have known for years and trust completely. It turns out that in the early hours of the night, a group of rioters (around 30–40 people) arrived, equipped with sticks and many zip ties. They bound the men (and apparently also two foreign volunteers, though I am not certain of this), and then beat them all over their bodies with fists and clubs. We saw many remnants of the zip ties on the ground. The men required treatment at the hospital in Afula for injuries of varying severity. At the same time, the attackers stole the entire herd — about 300 head — belonging to the few families living there, under unimaginable conditions of poverty. At first, I heard that there had also been sexual violence, and I did not believe it… Yesterday we arrived at the site with Ruti, a friend of mine who is well known to them. When they saw us — Rabbi Avidan Friedman and myself — they visibly recoiled in terror and anxiously pointed to the kippot on our heads. Ruti tried to calm them, explaining that we were not among the attackers. Even so, at the beginning of the meeting, they were hesitant and afraid. I heard directly from a young man — a firsthand witness — what had happened there. From his face, the blue bruise in his eye, and his sorrowful expression, it was clear he was telling the truth. In that same conversation (with the help of a translator), he described in detail the prolonged abuse they endured while bound. Then, with deep shame, he told us something I had previously found impossible to believe. I find it difficult — my hands tremble as I write this about Jews — and yet I will write it, because I am convinced it indeed happened. Yes, these wicked individuals bound his genitals in an extremely painful way — not to mention the humiliation involved. These events recall the pogroms our ancestors endured in various diasporas. Have we become like the worst of the nations? I want to turn to the question: what should be done? But I feel that I am still at the stage of crying out. Alas — what has become of us!

Fascinante! A ler.

This is seriously cringeworthy. It boils down to "Yes we love to shock, as long as its not the wrong people, and if someone gets offended, that's OK because then we talk about it."
