Brave of you. Truly. I don't have that kind of bravery and I admire people who do.
It is a bit like wearing a Yellow Star pinned on your coat as you walk in to the Third Reich's Officer's Club back in the day.
We all have to do what we can do, even if it means going out of our comfort zone. We are in a battle between the Right of Free Speech and Freedom of Expression and complete subservience to Wokism.
Bravo Joey!

If any other country did this, the "West" would lose its mind and go to war. Now? Not even a condemnation...
A Palestinian orthopedic nurse was shot in the knee by Israeli soldiers for refusing to stop operating on a wounded patient. He is later taken prisoner by the Israelis for 45 days. When the Israelis confirmed he isn't Hamas, they took out his eye and dropped him on the other side of the border, forcing him to crawl for 3km...

They coordinated with the Red Cross. They went in to save lives. Israel executed all 16 of them—ambulance crews, first responders—then buried their bodies & destroyed their vehicles. This isn’t self-defense. This is a war crime. A massacre. And the world is still silent.

Here's a brief history of Gaza (full disclosure: I'm a historian of Palestine):
1516 - Ottomans rule Gaza
1917 - Britain occupies Palestine, adopting the anti-democratic Balfour Declaration, rejecting the political will of 85% of the population of Palestine who declared their opposition to Zionism to the King-Crane Commission. x.com/_ZachFoster/st…
1917 - 1947 - Britain subjugates 90% of the population of Palestine (the Palestinian Arabs), ignoring their democratic wishes, favoring the Jewish minority, making it easier for Jews to buy land via the annulment of Arab communal land tenure, granting Jews but not Arabs communal autonomy, favoring Jews over Palestinians in awarding contracts & industrial concessions (e.g. Palestine Electric Corporation, Palestine Salt Company, Palestine Potash & Sulphur Quarries), imposing a surveillance regime over the Arabs to subvert their political activity, imposing harsher penalties for Arabs than Jews for similar crimes; preventing the establishment of a Palestinian university & limiting Palestinian secondary education to subvert their political activity. palestinenexus.com/courses/p/zion…
1947 - UN proposes giving the Zionist community of Palestine 56% of Palestine, even though they constituted 33% of the population & owned ~5.5% of the land.
1948 - Israel tried (and failed) to conquer Gaza even though the partition plan called for an Arab state there.
1948 - Israel tried to poison Palestinian Arab wells in Gaza, killing many innocent civilians x.com/_ZachFoster/st…
1948 - Israel violently expelled ~200,000 Palestinians from their homes, pushing them to the Gaza Strip (in total, some 750,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes by Israel during the war).
1950 - Israel expel the last remaining 2,600 Palestinians in Majdal. Israeli forces loaded them onto trucks, sending them off to Gaza. Whoever refused to leave was coerced through intimidation and violence. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe…
1953 - The Israeli military attacked the al-Bureij Camp in Gaza, killing 50 civilians, seeking to dismantle the refugee camp altogether to disperse in residents. Another Egyptian-UNRWA plan, supported by Israel, was to expel some 60,000 Palestinians from Gaza to Sinai, where land & Nile River water for irrigation was apparently going to be provided. But the project failed when Palestinians demonstrated en masse on 1 March 1955. palestinenexus.com/articles/israe…
1949-1956 - Tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees (many from Gaza) tried to return home. They were overwhelmingly unarmed. The Israeli army adopted a shoot to kill policy, massacring ~2,700-5,000 during this period. x.com/_ZachFoster/st…
1956-1957 - Israel invaded Gaza, occupying it for 4 months. On 3 Nov 1956, Israeli forces entered Khan Yunis, rounding up all men 15+, lined them against a wall, & executed them. They did the same thing in Rafah. They massacred hundreds of Gazan Palestinians in cold blood. x.com/_ZachFoster/st…
1967 - Israel re-invaded the Gaza Strip in a war of choice (theintercept.com/2017/06/05/a-5…) imposing a belligerent military occupation there that has lasted to the present day.
1967 - On 18–19 June 1967, the Israeli cabinet adopted this decision: "...[the Gaza Strip] would be annexed to Israel once the number of refugees there was significantly reduced by transfer to other locations of countries." x.com/_ZachFoster/st…

1967-1987 - Israel kills 32 Palestinians on average every year for 20 years (in Gaza & the West Bank); Israel denies Palestinians politica rights. Israel imprisons Palestinians like Fathi Ghaben for painting paintings with black, red, green and white.

Israel imposes the longest lasting siege in modern history on Gaza, putting 2M Gazans "on diet," controlling their caloric intake, leading to widespread devastation: 40% of Gaza's population live in poverty, most of them in extreme poverty, more than 80% of households dependent on food aid. Dozens if not hundreds but probably thousands die in Gaza every from inability to receive proper medical and Israel's refusal to allow Gazans to seek care outside of Gaza, owing to the punishing siege, including Fatimah al-Masri, who was murdered by Israel in 2022 after Israel refused to allow her to exit Gaza for medical treatment source btselem.org/gaza_strip/202…

Just for clarity: this is 1000x worse than anything anyone has said or done at a protest or occupation in the U.K. or U.S.
Hard to think of something lower than this.

Israeli right wing activists blocked aid trucks which were on their way to Gaza today at the Tarqumiya crossing in the West Bank

@OfRossonero Maldini was justified in keeping them players, the increas in revenue from champions league and winning the league is worth more. No guarantee we would have achieved that with their replacements.
