FIFA is Whitewashing and Sportswashing Israeli Genocide and Sporticide
Israel ‘Defense’ Forces, with unconditional support of the United States, have been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, resulting in an unparalleled humanitarian catastrophe.

What Do You Say to Your Pro-Israel MP?
I recently signed a letter drafted by Amnesty UK to MPs which included this message: “The human rights violations taking place in Gaza have long been at catastrophic levels.
