🚨A horrific video shows Israeli settlers assaulting a Palestinian man in front of his home and his family today in the village of Qusra in the West Bank. Earlier in the morning, an Israeli settler ran over a 5-year-old girl in Hebron and opened fire at civilians in the town of Sa’ir. Israeli settler terrorism in the West Bank is reaching unprecedented levels, with full impunity.











Sanna Marin: Ukraine has shown incredible resilience. But they are constantly in a situation where they are begging for things they needed yesterday. If we give too little, too late, the war will only continue. We need to support more, regardless of what the US does.

They will not be forgotten; no IOC bans will make us forget or forgive russia for all the evil they brought to our land.




The IOC has banned not the Ukrainian athlete, but its own reputation. Future generations will recall this as a moment of shame. He simply wanted to commemorate fellow athletes killed in war. There is nothing wrong with that under any rules or ethics. The IOC intimidated, disrespected, and even lectured our athlete and other Ukrainians on how they should keep quiet about “one of 130 conflicts in the world”. The IOC has also systemically failed to confront the greatest abuser of international sports and the Olympic Charter — Russia. A country that started three invasions during the Olympic Truce in the past three decades, implemented the largest state-funded doping program, killed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches, and damaged 800 sports facilities in Ukraine. These are Russians who must be banned, not the commemoration of their victims. None of them are “neutral”. If the Olympic Creed says that “the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part”, then @iocmedia betrayed it completely by preventing @heraskevych from taking part and betrayed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia. We are proud to have Vladyslav who has not betrayed them. Thank you for your principles and bravery.

A third Ukrainian athlete has been banned from using his helmet. The International Skating Union did not allow Ukrainian short track skater Oleh Handei to compete in his own gear. Handei told Ukrainian media that he was forced to change his usual equipment: "I have a quote by Lina Kostenko on my helmet: ‘Where there is heroism, there is no final defeat.’ They banned it, saying it’s a political slogan, that it’s about the war, that it’s not allowed. I translated it word for word for them - no, they said it’s political. These are simply motivational words for me, for my team, and for my country. Why not? They said it’s political and it’s propaganda." suspilne.media/sport/1237648-…
