For 90% of the game, Haaland just lurks around. He hardly even pays attention to the ball. But then - out of a sudden - at the exact right moment, he awakens, scores a historic goal, and immediately goes back to lurking around. He cannot be replicated.

This video of Israel soldiers casually throwing what appears to be a Palestinian youth off from the roof of a building has shocked the world. Look how comfortable they walk away after throwing the youth to his death. As if they have done it 100s of times before.

Wow! Make no mistake: JD Vance is on a campaign to put Israel in its place. Here, he crucially reduces Israel's standing as a partner to the same level as the UK and France. That is, it is NOT a special relationship.

When Iranian police beat women in the streets for standing up for their rights, the world - and Germany - rightfully condemned it. But those condemnations ring very hollow now as German police beat and kick elderly women for objecting to Israel's slaughter of Palestinians.

This is Ferdowsi Sq central Tehran. People on the ground say the bombing campaign is beyond anything they have seen and seemingly indiscriminate. Increasingly, Israel and the US appear to be following the Gaza playbook, having failed to achieve a quick regime implosion.

John Oliver: "Gaza is starving is objectively true. But it is also slightly misleading because it is too passive. Gaza is being starved - by Israel." The "Community of Nations" means nothing if you can forcibly starve a people and remain a full member.

A point of utter embarrassment and shame for many Iranians is the manner in which elements of the diaspora danced on the streets in Western capitals as bombs rained on Tehran. It is also a source for a lot of anger among Iranians in Iran who oppose the theocracy but nevertheless did not favor war and who are stunned to see some in the Diaspora being so indifferent to the suffering caused by the war. But there is another aspect that deserves closer scrutiny. These, almost exclusively pro-Shah elements of the Diaspora, did not dance to celebrate the downfall of the regime. They didn't dance because they had won. They simply danced because the war had started, nothing more. As if their goal was neither freedom nor democracy, but simply revenge and the pleasure they took from seeing Iran bombed. Had they danced after the theocracy had fallen (which it hasn't), it would be a bit different. It would be a moment where they could argue that the price was very high, but because the regime is defeated, it was worth it, and, as a result, a cause for celebration. But they didn't wait for the regime to fall. They danced right away. Signalling that the cost was worth it, EVEN IF the regime didn't fall. Because it was always about selfish revenge, not freedom.

How can one call this a war on Hamas? This level of destruction in Beit Hanoun only serves to make Gaza uninhabitable. To leave 2.3 million Palestinians with nothing to return to - so that they won't return. Biden attended Israel's war cabinet and approved the war plan.

The Swedes have a hard time sticking to the script it seems. Here's the Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson saying that “Sweden and the EU stand united in that Israel has the right to genocid- [No, I mean] self-defense…” Listen to the reaction from the crowd...

What does it say about you if you look at this infant and see a threat that must be eliminated? And what does it say about the values of the countries that defend and enable these murders? This is the 7-month-old Palestinian baby shot & killed by an Israeli soldier yesterday.

The soul-piercing screams of a mother as her daughter burns to death after Israel bombed her in Gaza. This has gone on for more than 300 days. America provides the bombs, Israel conducts the slaughter. But hey, privately, Biden is getting really tough with Netanyahu...

The Iranian people are stuck between an utterly repressive and authoritarian regime in Tehran and the hijacking of a legitimate pro-democracy movement by an utterly repressive and authoritarian monarchist movement abroad. At this protest, the speaker says: "If they speak of Democracy, we only say: Long live the Shah. If they speak of unity, we only say: Long live the Shah." The aim is not democracy, it is not unity, but a new authoritarian dictatorship under a new Shah.

Brooke Goldstein: "There is no such thing as a Palestinian person." The odd position of demanding recognition of Israel's right to exist while not only denying the right of Palestine to exist, but the very existence of the Palestinian people! #Gaza

Don't believe for a second that Biden's greenlighting of Israel's slaughter in Gaza only hurts America's standing in the Middle East. This is Mexico City. I cannot recall the last time there was a protest of this size in Mexico against Israel's war.

Hmm Sure sounds like Netanyahu is saying that Amb. Huckabee is working for Israel rather than for America... Netanyahu: “If [Israel] had five or six more Mike Huckabees, Israel would not have a Hasbara problem...”

The man being attacked here is Gadi Kedem. He lost six family members in the Oct 7 attacks, including three grandchildren. This is how supporters of Netanyahu treated him earlier today in Israel.

When you get a blank check from the President of the United States, then you don't have to worry about international law and winning hearts and minds globally. And when you don't have to win hearts and minds, you openly showcase the war crimes you commit. #CeaseFireInGaza
