FIFA president says football association cannot solve geopolitical problems

Gianni Infantino has sought to sidestep criticism that the global football governing body has refused to suspend Israel over atrocities in Gaza, despite suspending Russia after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

“At FIFA, we are committed to using the power of football to bring people together in a divided world,” Infantino told a FIFA Council meeting in Zurich, adding that the association cannot solve geopolitical issues.

“Our thoughts are with those who are suffering in the many conflicts that exist around the world today, and the most important message that football can convey right now is one of peace and unity.”

What about your ban on the Russians then, you piece of shit?

New video of an operation from September 29th which (per zionist sources) killed two, injuring nine

“Yesterday afternoon, Monday, Al-Qassam fighters managed to raid a gathering of "israeli" enemy soldiers and vehicles inside the "Rosary Sisters School" in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood, south of Gaza City. Our fighters opened fire from point-blank range towards the "israeli" enemy soldiers, killing and wounding them. A number of our fighters also threw several thermobaric charges inside two zionist military personnel carriers at the site, killing and wounding their crews. Additionally, a "Merkavah" tank was detonated with a "Guerrilla Action" explosive device, and our fighters observed the landing of helicopter aircraft for evacuation.”

Venezuela denounces and condemns in the strongest terms the cowardly act of piracy carried out by Israeli occupation forces against the Freedom Flotilla on October 1, 2025.

The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela denounces and condemns in the strongest terms the cowardly act of piracy carried out by Israeli occupation forces against the Freedom Flotilla on October 1, 2025.

This military boarding in international waters exposes, once again, the criminal nature of the Zionist regime, which attacks a civilian and peaceful mission whose sole purpose was to bring 5,500 tons of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people subjected to hunger and extermination.

The blockade of humanitarian aid is a deliberate tool of war, the continuation of genocide by other means, seeking to annihilate the population through starvation to complement their indiscriminate bombings.

It is miserable and grotesque that those who perpetrate televised ethnic cleansing dare to describe ships loaded with food and hope as a “threat to security.”

The only real threat to world peace is Zionism, a colonialist and apartheid ideology that systematically violates international law and human decency.

Our unwavering solidarity is with the heroic Palestinian people and with the brave men and women who, risking their own safety, keep the flame of humanity alive in the face of Nazi-fascist darkness.

I wonder when we are finally going to see sanctions on Israhell, because I don’t think any country has done so (besides like North Korea)

Venezuelan S-125 Pechora-2M/SA-3 Goa surface to air missile systems/air defence systems are on the move (utilising public highways) to Carabobo, from the Military Academy of the Bolivarian Aviation located close by in Aragua. Venezuela was assessed to be in possession of 44 batteries of the system by the International Institute for Strategic Studies as of 2024, their most numerous air defence system. These are modernised versions of retired Soviet era S-125 stockpiles designed for sale to export customers. Most notably, the S-125/SA-3 was the system that shot down an F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft over Yugoslavia in 1999, the only known shoot down of a stealth aircraft to date. I'd say a repeat event is very unlikely (explaining why is another comment in of itself), but anything is possible.

MR. PRESIDENT, A SECOND FLOTILLA HAS HIT THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

Interception of vessels of the “Global Sumud Flotilla” by Israel - Brazilian Goverment

The Brazilian Government is following with concern the interception by the Israeli Navy of vessels of the “Global Sumud Flotilla,” which carry Brazilian citizens on board, among them members of the Brazilian Parliament.

In light of initial reports of the detention of Brazilian nationals aboard the flotilla’s vessels, among whom is Federal Congresswoman Luizianne Lins, Brazil recalls the principle of freedom of navigation in international waters and underscores the peaceful nature of the flotilla.

The Brazilian Government deplores the military action of the Government of Israel, which violates rights and puts at risk the physical integrity of activists engaged in a peaceful action. In the context of this condemnable military operation, Israel now bears responsibility for the safety of those detained.

Brazil reiterates, in this regard, its call for the immediate and unconditional lifting of all Israeli restrictions on the entry and distribution of humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Israel’s obligations as the occupying power under international humanitarian law.

The Embassy of Brazil in Tel Aviv is in permanent contact with Israeli authorities in order to provide appropriate consular assistance to Brazilian nationals, as established by the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

I've been on twitter recently again and I've been laughing so much at these "IT'S NOT ISRAEL YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT, IT'S QATAR!!!" posts that unhinged Zionists make. Qatar definitely does some evil shit, but come the fuck on lmao, Qatar's worst crimes doesn't even touch 1% of a normal Israeli day. Why is attacking Qatar even the official line for them suddenly? Qatar is literally a top 5 non-NATO ally for the US. If Qataris and other gulfies had a brain, then their lobbies should've been more powerful than AIPAC, but they're dumbasses that fund the same evil shit that Israel funds. I can only laugh at the absurdity of something like "DON'T TALK ABOUT AIPAC WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT QATARI MONEY. I don't exactly see senators wearing an Arab agal and kissing the walls of Souq Waqif after getting a guided tour by the Qatari Army on the disputed territory of Hawar Islands lol

The Broad Front (Ruling Party) of Uruguay stands in solidarity with the Sumud Global Flotilla and denounces the Israeli government as responsible for genocide.

At this moment, a civilian flotilla composed of activists from around the world is heading towards the Gaza Strip to break the blockade on the entry of medicines and food into Palestinian territory imposed by the Israeli government led by Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli government, responsible for the genocide against the Palestinian people, obstructed the advance of the flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for the civilian population of Gaza, which is experiencing “mass starvation,” according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

In light of these events, which concern and preoccupy us, the Frente Amplio expresses its solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla.

It once again calls for an immediate ceasefire, an end to the genocide, and the immediate establishment of a humanitarian corridor.

It reiterates its demand for the safe return of the hostages kidnapped by the terrorist organization Hamas.

As a peaceful and peacemaking political force, we once again call for peace and respect for international law.

The Colombian government denounces the arrest of two Colombian citizens who were aboard one of the Sumud Global Flotilla vessels in international waters, engaged in humanitarian activities with Palestine.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Colombia, on behalf of the Government and the People of Colombia, rejects, in the most drastic terms, the kidnapping in international waters, by the Israeli armed force and in full violation of international law and the Geneva Agreements, of the Colombian citizens Luna Barreto and Manuela Bedoya, Members of the

Global Flotilla "Sumud", on board the boat HIO.

The Government of Colombia demands the immediate release of its citizens, as well as the release of all other members of the Flotilla, and asks the governments of Spain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Slovenia, Indonesia, Ireland, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Mexico, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Tallandia, Turkey, and

South Africa shall act promptly and on time to protect the lives and integrity of its respective compatriots.

Colombia recalls that the Global Fleet "Sumud" sailed the Mediterranean with three objectives: to deliver humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, raise awareness about the urgent humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people, and warn about the need to stop the war in Gaza. No state policy can justify the massacre and illegal detention of citizens who want to contribute to peace and undertake humanitarian actions aimed at alleviating the famine deliberately caused by the illegal acts of the State of Israel in the occupied territory of Palestine.

Colombia reiterates its solidarity with the Palestinian people and reaffirms its commitment to multilateralism, respect for international law, and global justice.

So how's that government shutdown going?

The Wall Street Journal reports that the United States will provide Ukraine with intelligence information for precision strikes inside Russia. They are also considering sending missiles with a range of up to 800 km.
