What David fails to mention here is where the I$raeli soldiers were killed. Just for clarity they were in Lebanese sovereign territory as an invading/occupying force
Lebanon has the right to defend itself, enshrined in international law.
But David seems to think that I$rael should have the right to carry out killings and massacres with impunity and complains when its soldiers face resistance.
You couldn’t make it up.

@Mio_Mind I think the World Cup is great because of the players but to each his own
English
The World Cup is great because of the fans
But somehow Americans turn this around and make it about themselves again
Peak self absorption
Ian Miller@ianmSC
I don’t know, maybe the US should just host every World Cup
English
@patcondell Sure I can help - pull your head out of your arse and look around at WHO is bombing their neighbors.
Stop Gaza & Lebanon genocide, free Palestine, and fuck Israel.
There, does that help?
English
I hate to say this, but I don’t understand what Trump is doing re Iran and Israel. Can anyone enlighten me?

@secnumbersguy Soccer is the number three sport in the United States after football and basketball
English
The cool thing about being an American is we are blowing the world’s mind hosting a World Cup that we collectively don’t care about and did nothing to prepare for while our team whoops every country they come across.
Oh, and soccer is like the 10th most popular sport in America. 🇺🇸

@DuckDuckLong @secnumbersguy Actually now give penalties for taking a dive, and if you need a medic, you're off the field for at least a minute while your team plays without you
English
@secnumbersguy I would be a fan of the game if players stopped using the "grab the knee and cry" trick. So annoying,
English
They were killed while invading a foreign country. They were killed while occupying foreign soil.
Stop with the gaslighting!
Warren Kinsella@kinsellawarren
Four Israeli soldiers were killed by Hezbollah last night. Trump, meanwhile, calls Israel's efforts to defend itself against Hezbollah "vicious."

@muhd_yoo @MaxNordau Lol, you've no idea what you're talking about
English
@MaxNordau Israel cannot be America’s ally. We’ve given them billions in taxpayer money and advanced weapons for decades and gotten absolutely nothing in return. That’s a one-way handout and not an alliance
English
@piersmorgan Ben Gvir is the unfortunate outcome of the perfect storm of a parliamentary system of government held hostage by a criminal politician
English
How can anyone still support this Israeli govt when psychopathic monsters like Ben Gvir are ministers in it, advocating genocide in Lebanon? Disgusting.
איתמר בן גביר@itamarbengvir
על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אמהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור! עם כל הכבוד לאמריקאים, ישראל חייבת להבהיר לעולם כולו שדם בנינו וביטחון אזרחנו איננו הפקר. לבנון כולה צריכה לבעור. חובתנו העליונה היא להגן על אזרחי ישראל ועל חיילי צה״ל, והמחויבות הזו קודמת לכל שיקול אחר. אמרתי לראש הממשלה, גם בישיבות בינינו: על כל דמעה של אמא ישראלית, אלף אימהות לבנוניות צריכות לבכות. מספיק עם הפינג־פונג. במזרח התיכון לא מנצחים בתגובות מדודות ובהכלה - צריך להשתגע. למחוק. להכריע את הטרור.

@elsathora Don't listen to the haters who never stepped a foot outside the US, they've no idea how fortunate they are. Those morons think their gay pride parade will he welcomed in Muslim countries.

I’ve traveled to every continent on earth, there is nowhere like the USA
The standard of living, the opportunities, the safety, the freedom
You don’t realise how lucky you are, so many of you take what you have for granted

I’m drunk I want to be American

@UTD67 @simon_schama Wow, if you think Israel is an apartheid state (even though all citizens have equal rights), wait until you learn about the laws in Muslim countries as well as your buddies in Gaza
English
@ManOfLaBook @simon_schama Iran are at the WC . Iran has a regime that is not acceptable & so does Israel . Don’t think Iran is anti West . I think Israel really does need to change . Israel was always secular but It’s definitely an apartheid state right now and being held hostage by extreme Zionists
English
definition of anti-semitism actually... So who DID give that "order" and "make the rule"
Yossi BenYakar@YossiBenYakar
Antisemitism at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. During World Cup matches, security at the stadium demanded that a fan remove his Israeli flag. When he asked why, they simply said they had “orders from above.” Meanwhile, numerous fans waving Palestinian flags were left completely undisturbed. This is selective discrimination against Israel and Jews. Double standards at the World Cup, enforced by FIFA and stadium officials. Shameful.

@GraemeShinnie Go to Rattlesnake Mountain (no snakes), low effort, great views. The restaurant in town was the location for On Golden Pond.

@DrStrangetwit Our health care is fantastic. The health care SYSTEM, sucks.
English
Some of these US world cup stadia are absolutely stunning. Fair play to America for building these monumental sporting cathedrals.
Imagine if that country invested at such a level in its healthcare and education systems.

@UTD67 @simon_schama So the Israeli flag was antagonistic, but the flag that represents pro Iranian dictatorship / anti West is fine?
English
@ManOfLaBook @simon_schama It’s easy really . The management felt that the Israeli flag is antagonistic in that environment & I would agree . I believe that both flags were put away. I think the person with the Israeli flag was trying to cause unnecessary mischief and doing it for social media clicks
English
@RoKhanna You're a brave man to turn down the peanuts from AIPAC (actual American citizens) and keep the pallets of friends money from our geopolitical adversaries. I can't believe the Democrats have turned to antisemitism to maybe win an election
English
I am proud to be the first Democrat to take this pledge to reject money from AIPAC and affiliated groups, recognize the genocide in Gaza, and oppose aid to Israel and military sales that kill civilians.
AIPAC Tracker@TrackAIPAC
Rep. Ro Khanna is the FIRST sitting MOC to sign Track AIPAC's PEACE Pledge, rejecting AIPAC money & committing to human rights, US law & an end to unconditional support for war. "Rejecting AIPAC money isn't enough, every member of Congress must be clear on these issues." —@RoKhanna Who's next? ✍️🇺🇸
English
@IndigoR70 @simon_schama The Israeli flag is synonymous with hate
Not the flag of an area that practices sexual apartheid, where the punishment for being gay is death, has a whole neighborhood for black Gazans called Harat Al-Abeed (neighborhood of slaves), or have declined statehood 8 time?
English
@simon_schama The Israeli flag is synonymous with hate. It offends normal people. You wouldn’t tolerate the flag of the Third Reich. For many, this is the modern day equivalent. They see Israelis as worse than Nazis because the sadistic quality of their racist violence is unparalleled.
English
@UTD67 @simon_schama I agree. Why didn't they remove both flags?
English
@simon_schama I think the better question is why is the guy bringing and Israeli flag when the are not even in the World Cup? Thats the root cause not other flags being there . Answer please ?

@sakebu_cheese_ Hawaii is probably closer to Japan than California

@Frank_Tank9956 @nypost These guys were waving a Palestinian flag in an Iranian game. THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A FIGHT!!! And then, of course, claim to be victims as is tradition.

@nypost Imagine complaining when you come to start a fight and get kicked out before you can
