Please check out this convo between "an ignorant American [me]," a "so called Indian host [@Privaricate]," and "a pakistani guest with biased, self righteous selective information [@karachikhatmal]."
You won't regret learning about cricket from these "people with devious minds."

Anyone who objected to genocide would do anything in their power to distance themselves from this immediately.
That he hasn’t tells you all you need to know.

Not enough people are talking about the fact that Deni Avidja served in the IDF.

After threats from the Israeli Football Association, Reebok has said they are not removing sponsorship and offered a new paean to the banality of evil: “We don’t do politics; we do sport.”
Eben Novy-Williams@novy_williams
There was some reporting today that @Reebok was removing its logo from the jerseys/kits of the Israeli national soccer team. A rep for the brand says that's untrue. "We don't do politics; we do sport" 👇

This episode of @globalrepcentre State of Play pod with @sharonnadeem does a fabulous job of analyzing the stakes of Israel-Canada Davis Cup and the global movement to end genocide complicity in sport.

There is no defense for this. White supremacy is the current ethos of the ruling classes of US society.

It appears the Canadian government is introducing new legislation that will likely be weaponized to prevent anti-genocide protests on university campuses.

Media is inaccurately reporting on this story as part of a deliberate campaign to get her fired.
The same people are supposed “free speech warriors.”

Canadian media is widely reporting on a U of T professor’s tweet inaccurately and without the correct context, as part of a deliberate campaign to get her fired. This is a classic conservative cancel culture campaign and media are collaborating. pressprogress.ca/university-of-…

What is happening to the Davis Cup protesters is the same thing that happened to the student encampments: they are being smeared as violent extremists.
But who are they really?
People *freely* giving their time and effort to protest literal atrocity.

Derek Silva (derekcrim.bsky.social) retweetledi
This is nothing more than a smear. The National Post and CIJA are collaborating to sportwash a genocidal state and they are defaming anti-violence protesters to do it.
English

And there’s the smoking gun: Tennis Canada collaborated with Israeli intelligence to ban spectators from the Davis Cup match.
(Obviously in order to prevent images of anti-genocide protest spectacle that would have been broadcast around the world.)

Nothing but solidarity with every @OPSEU member taking this strike action.
