In an interview with The Rest Is Politics podcast, Čeferin said that while UEFA faced 'huge political pressure to kick out Russia' but almost none to exclude Israel. He noted that he opposed boycotts in principle and objected to punishing athletes for the actions of their governments

I am a mother of three young children in Gaza.

After a long and painful journey of displacement, we were left with almost nothing. We lost our home, our source of income, and the safety and stability that every family deserves.

We are living in a tent that is barely a shelter. The heat inside the tents is unbearable, and the conditions are becoming more dangerous every day. Insects, scorpions, snakes, and rats threaten the lives and safety of my young children. They should be growing up in a safe home, not being afraid of what may enter their tent while they sleep.

There is no real help reaching us. We are not receiving enough assistance from anyone, and the cost of everything in Gaza has become unbelievably high. Food, water, medicine, clothing, and other basic necessities are becoming impossible for me to afford.

I am a mother, and the hardest thing is watching my children need basic things that I simply cannot provide. I cannot give them the food, clean water, warm clothes, medicine, and safety they need.

Every day, my children ask me when we will have a real home again. I don't know what to tell them.

We are trying to raise funds to escape this unbearable reality, rebuild our lives, and give my children a chance to live with dignity, safety, and hope.

Please, if you can donate, even a small amount, it can make a real difference. And if you cannot donate, please share our story. Your share may reach someone who can help us.

🙏 Please help Hala and her children.

"If you are, like many young leftists, an owner of a well-thumbed copy of Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman’s Manufacturing Consent you may have noted with disinterest the person to whom the book is dedicated: Alex Carey, a senior lecturer of industrial psychology at UNSW who had died the year prior to the book’s publication.
Chomsky credits Carey with having “tremendous influence” on the book. The dedication, he later stated, was a “bare and inadequate way to express our indebtedness to him for his uniquely important work on the ‘ideal of a propaganda-managed democracy’”. “Alex Carey draws the veil of deceit and imposed ignorance in the struggle for freedom and justice,” Chomsky writes in his introduction to Taking the Risk Out of Democracy, a collection of Carey’s essays published posthumously."

The West is losing the Ukraine War big time. But that does not mean the NATO lunatics are willing to give up their plans for total global domination. On the contrary, some of them are only getting started.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs joins Pascal Lottaz to argue that the Ukraine war is a long-running US proxy conflict with Russia. He discusses NATO expansion, post-Cold War policy, US power and elite interests, Europe’s economic costs, and the risks of escalation. Sachs also outlines what he sees as a path to peace: Ukrainian neutrality, no further NATO expansion, and ending US wars.

Do you think Noam knows what happened to reputation on the left since the files came out. Rapid fall from grace/greatness.

This essay was also included in Chomsky's 2015 book Because We Say So.
