If, like me, you’re not interested in football, it’s OK. But you might be interested in solidarity.
Two football games took place almost simultaneously recently that were brought to my attention. What they showed was not just different teams: there were different worlds.
In one, in Bilbao, tens of thousands of football fans showed solidarity with the people being oppressed and undergoing a genocide.
In the second one, in Lithuania, a match was played with a team of an occupier, a genocidal fascist regime, behind closed doors, to minimise the risk of disruptions.
The two friendly matches I talk about in my video, one with Palestine and one with Israel, represent two different worlds.
They invite us to choose which one we want to be actively contributing to.
I invite you to follow me on YouTube here if you haven’t already.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

From Palestine to The Epstein Files: Will You Demand Justice or Embrace Collective Amnesia?
It is not only the violence by the ones in power that the Epstein files resemble Israel’s destruction of Gaza – it’s about the (potential) collective amnesia, too.
