@nqatpod When Bayindir signed, it was accepted that he was always going to be a back-up. Yet, there's a lot of hope Lammens will become nr. 1 ASAP. Why should we be more confident about Lammens than we were about Bayindir? Is it simply out of desperation, or is there more to it?

@FootballKe_90 Must have been a lot of bees @distantpod

Drama in Tanzania as the game was temporary stopped during the City FC Abuja vs JKU FC match when bees flew over the pitch in the 77th minute 🤣 #FootballKE

I’m so disgusted by what I just witnessed. In Amsterdam, Israelis & Jews leaving a soccer match were beaten unconscious by mobs, thrown in the river, and forced to say “free Palestine.” This is the direct result of normalizing antisemitism post Oct. 7, where the most flagrant acts of Jew-hatred were cast aside as just “bleeding hearts who are against the war.” Remind me again how these are all just kind people who care about humanity. If you can’t bring yourself to speak up now—after failing the Jewish community for the past year with silence and/or by insisting that “globalize the intifada” was anything other than a dogwhistle to harass Jews around the world—you have no right to call yourself a humanitarian.

@JakeWSimons When he says “can we tone it down” … quite.

Idiot Canadian communist cosplay kids get to meet a real-life refugee from actual communism. They try to laugh it off. She’s not laughing

@EfratPekado You're an inspiration, to Jews in the diaspora who are also Jewish above anything else. Fuck the haters, they don't even want to try and understand...

Dear black americans you can call me a coon, say I am a disgrace to black people as much as you want to I do not care. I am not looking for approval from people who cannot accept that before I am anything else I am a Jew

@UN @UNHumanRights @volker_turk The sheer audacity and stupidity within this statement. Bravo.

“The killing of so many civilians cannot be dismissed as collateral damage. Not in a kibbutz. Not in a refugee camp. And not in a hospital.” — @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk urges a halt to fighting in the Middle East. ohchr.org/en/statements-…

@jessphillips @TheGreenParty I’m sure it’s only peaceful targeting, right Jess?

Just deleted the post about the shameful behaviour by @TheGreenParty because I don't want to share there utter nonsense. But if they think it's helpful to encourage the targeting of MPs then you don't care about the issue at all. Stop it.

@OzraeliAvi @ThevoiceAlexa @jessphillips …

🚨Hamas supporter in London says the quiet part out loud “Hitler knew how to deal with these people" It always has been pure Jew-hatred under the guise of anti-Zionism. Watch more from @ThevoiceAlexa on the ground at BattleForLondon.com.

@jessphillips So, so disappointed. We thought you were an ally. British Jews are terrified at what has been directed at us today, yes it was a hate march. How can’t you see it?!

Hate march you say....

@StopAntisemites She could really do with putting that “introspective” quality into action.

UPDATE: this woman tearing down posters of missing Israeli children has been identified as Lauren Squadron. Ironically she works part time as a babysitter (!) for ArtistBabysitting, a boutique child care agency serving families in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and parts of NJ.

@JohnSimpsonNews And Jews are finding out who would have stood by us, and who would have pushed us on the trains.

I’ve come in for a lot of abuse, threats and taunts in the past few days, for defending and explaining the BBC’s standards. I’ve been yelled at in the street. But there’s one good thing — at times like this you do find out who your friends are. And aren’t.

@MJGold No, it's the opposite of elite competition. It's also met with "aww how lovely, they decided to share, isn't that great" but isn't that answer a no-brainer when offered to any athlete?! It's not a mutual act of generosity, it's securing a gold medal with no drawback...

Fans, do you like the shared gold concept? If you answer yes, second question is will you still like it if it becomes more common?

@mattharrisonnn @NatiDielingen

Dutch is such an unserious language I swear

@NatiDielingen 🤩🤩🤩 goals!!!! Thank you for being the best accessory to our bromance 🤗🥰🫶🏼

El chamito regalándome una franela del Feyenoord y suscribiéndome al Sparta solo para decirle que al próximo juego se lleva a @SimoFalk 😒 hombres.

@adamshaw41 @bryansgunn 😂😂😂 it’s true!!!!!

@bryansgunn @SimoFalk

The most dangerous scoreline

@centredevils @SergeMUFC @Sky_Torben Translation: nothing official to say right now. As soon as there’s an update it will be announced. The guy asks if he’s going to Manchester or Chelsea and he says “you’ll have to wait and see”

@NatiDielingen 😅😅 ‘ta bien mami! You have to embrace your niche!! 🔥

Estoy agotadita de que soy una impostora y se me pegan todos los acentos. Me escucho hablando inglés con acento holandés y no lo puedo evitar 🤮😷

Adidas is reportedly sitting on $530,000,000 worth of official Yeezys that they can't sell

@shannara77 Hi there, KJ, just to let you know I have laid some flowers here and passed their story on 🤍 instagram.com/p/Cg2Vf5voVGT/…

@SimoFalk Beautiful thing to do. Something I would do too if I would live in a house where Jewish victims lived...

@shannara77 hi KJ! My wife and I are buying a house in Rotterdam and today we saw that they have recently laid some Stolpersteiner in front of it. Would you be able to help me know a little bit more about the families? The Van Dam family & Leeuw families

This is the third physical attack on Jewish ppl in London in the past 24 hours. A mother and baby attacked. A 13 year old assaulted and an 8 year old had his head smashed into a lamp post. Absolutely terrifying.
