The UN Commission of Inquiry is Back with Another Anti-Israel Smear Report
The Egyptian coach’s tantrum at the FIFA World Cup should come as no surprise.
After Egypt’s elimination, social media was flooded with baseless conspiracy theories claiming FIFA had somehow rigged the match because of the coach’s outspoken support for the Palestinian cause.
WATCH what being a sore loser and bad sportsmanship looks like.
Messi calmly walked over to the Egyptian coach and asked, “What’s wrong with you?” The exchange was caught on camera and quickly went viral.
Given everything we witnessed from the Egyptian coaching staff throughout the tournament, this outburst was entirely in character. Losing with dignity is part of sport. This wasn’t.

This is beyond ridiculous.
After Egypt’s World Cup loss, people edited the referee’s Wikipedia page to falsely claim he was Jewish, then circulated the fabricated screenshot online to blame the defeat on Jews.
This was the deliberate spread of an antisemitic conspiracy theory by people who couldn’t accept the result.
When your first instinct after losing a football match is to blame the Jews, the problem isn’t the referee. It’s your antisemitism.
Sore losers scapegoating Jews for their failures.

American-Israeli peace activist Alana Zeitchik tells the story of her family’s kidnapping on October 7 from Kibbutz Nir Oz, and how their love of Lionel Messi helped save an old woman from Hamas terrorists.

Talk about a sore loser.
🇦🇷🤝🇮🇱 After Argentina’s 3-2 victory over Egypt, Argentine fans waved Israeli flags as Egypt’s coach, Hossam Hassan, walked past.
Hassan appeared to lose his temper at the supporters.
The irony? During the World Cup, Hassan himself repeatedly displayed a Palestinian flag while leading Egypt.
If you’re going to bring politics into football, don’t be surprised when others respond. He can dish it out, but he clearly can’t take it.

Israelis don’t take a lot of things seriously. But when the World Cup is on? It becomes a national holiday. ⚽🇮🇱

Another attempt to isolate Israel in international sports has failed. The European Kendo Federation overwhelmingly rejected a Turkish-backed effort to expel the Israel Kendo & Budo Federation, with only four members voting in favor. The result sends a clear message that political campaigns to exclude Israeli athletes continue to face resistance from the international sporting community.

What a powerful performance!
Former hostage Alon Ohel, who was held hostage for 738 days in Hamas captivity, is finally free and celebrating America’s 250th Independence.
Alon is a gifted pianist and performed the hit song “Superman” alongside John Ondrasik of the band Five for Fighting, aboard the USS Nimitz in New York.

Julian Casablancas is once again not “speaking truth to power.” He is laundering antisemitism through the language of social justice.
First, on Subway Takes, The Strokes frontman claimed that American Zionists enjoy “white privilege” while speaking as if they are “Black people during slavery” — a grotesque comparison that erases Jewish history, minimizes antisemitism, is bigoted, and mocks Jewish trauma.
Now, at the Oxford Union, he has doubled down.
Casablancas falsely accused Zionism and Israel of seeking “expansion” of the country, pushing the “Greater Israel” lie that Israel is trying to take over the Middle East (just as Israel signed a deal with Lebanon that says the exact opposite), then suggested that Jews who refuse to call Israel’s war against Hamas a “genocide” and who refuse to further the genocide lie, are supporters of “Jewish supremacy” and “white supremacy.”
This is all very dangerous. It turns Jewish identity and Jewish self-determination into something sinister. It tells Jews they must pass a political purity test before they are allowed to be heard. And it gives cover to those who target Jews and Israelis under the banner of “activism.”
Criticism of any government is fair game. Demonizing Jews, distorting Jewish identity, and recycling antisemitic tropes is not.
Julian Casablancas should be held accountable. (@minorbutmajor @redlightmgmt @thestrokes @alberthammondjr @alberthammondofficial @marshavlasic @corancapshaaw)
