FIFA's rules state that member countries may not hold games on other countries' territory — a rule that Israel keeps breaking and keeps getting away with. Ahead of the World Cup, Toronto activists are demanding it stops: readthemaple.com/kick-israel…

For the past four years, Poland has remained silent. It stayed silent when, in the fervor of “decommunization,” streets named after Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych began appearing in places where people remember the OUN and UPA not as freedom fighters, but as killers of Communist youth activists and Red Army soldiers. Poland stayed silent when military unit bearing the name Nachtigall - Nazi collaborationist unit - appeared within Ukraine’s armed forces. It stayed silent when Azov-linked brigades increasingly presented themselves as heirs to the OUN and UPA, established the Konovalets School, and began commemorating the anniversary of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division instead of Victory Day over Nazism. It stayed silent when the Azov movement promoted maps of a “Greater Ukraine” that included territories belonging to Poland. But every year that Poland remains silent, this monster of ethnic nationalism grows stronger, more aggressive, and more demanding. The cycle of silence must be broken — not only to defend Poland’s national interests, but to save Ukraine from itself. Because the Ukraine that is emerging today is increasingly consumed by a chauvinistic, militarized form of ethnic nationalism. It is an ideology that devours the country from within while simultaneously becoming a source of anxiety for its neighbors. Ignoring this trend will not make it disappear. Silence has not moderated it. Silence has enabled it. And unless that silence ends, the consequences will not stop at Ukraine’s borders.

Umland repeatedly peddles Goebbels-like lies that Elon Musk covertly engineers views & downloads of my open access book “The Russia-Ukraine War and its Origins.” It's revealing who backs his lies. link.springer.com/book/10.10… Partly due to Streisand effect, there are over 100,000 new unique accessions of my book just on publisher website since false claim in his Stalinist-like denunciation that 248,000 accessions of my book are due to some kind of covert actions by Elon Musk. There has been clear jump in accessions of my book since Umland-engineered denunciation & censorship campaign.

Looking forward to seeing the "red triangle" on Anand's jersey featured in another National Post story about antisemitism.
Tomorrow, Team Canada will compete in FIFA World Cup matches on home soil for the first time. Millions of Canadians will put on red jerseys, plan their days around matches, and share these moments together. Happy to mark this exciting moment with @YvetteCooperMP and @SenatorWong. Canada is ready to welcome the world — what a special moment for our country.

$1.8 million to foster “dialogue” with the murderers of Palestinian children. $25 billion for Ukraine. That, in a nutshell, is Canada’s commitment to peace and human rights.
Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia are launching a new International Peace Fund for Israelis and Palestinians. Canada is contributing $1.8 million over three years to support initiatives that foster dialogue, build trust, and strengthen civil society engagement. By investing in those working to bridge divides, we are helping lay the foundations for a lasting peace where Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.

Slavery was so long ago and we’re supposed to be over it until you want to have an image of the resistance of enslaved people, then it’s too political. They will never forgive Haiti for winning their freedom. They made Haiti pay France reparations for 150 years and still salty.
🚨JUST IN: FIFA has rejected Haiti’s World Cup jersey, saying it was too “political” The specific image or design in the men’s jerseys that prompted FIFA’s objections remains unclear

Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank is state policy, not the work of a few "extremist" Jewish settlers. Canada's sanctions on individual settlers and organizations are pathetically inadequate. aljazeera.com/news/2026/6/10…

This press release is a masterclass in misdirection. Of the six arrests, the only person charged for an act against a civilian was a Walk with Israel participant alleged to have assaulted a counter-protester. But it's so unclear that at least one outlet reported the opposite 🧵
