It feels quite unreal, but *The End of College Football: On the Human Cost of an All-American Game* is officially out in the world as of today. Half a decade’s work finally on full display.

Please grab a copy, request at your library, and spread the word.

Ten-year-olds at a California school were taught that pregnant Arab women were trying to blow up hospitals. Literally. That was a lesson at school.

Depraved.
Lippman recounted: “I had a teacher when I was 10 or so. He was studying to be a rabbi, and he would pose these questions, like: ‘There’s an Arab woman at a checkpoint, and she’s pregnant. You can’t touch her, because there’s no women around, and men can’t touch women. Should you let her in, even though she might be hiding a bomb and blow up the entire hospital? Or should you not let her in?’” Students who chose to let the woman in, Lippman said, were told they had allowed the hospital to be blown up.

Kind of incredible when you think about it that schools in Canada are just straight up teaching Zionism as a belief system *more important even than religion.*

www.readthemaple.com/youre-litera...
Mentions of Israel were not limited to Jewish history lessons, however. Appel said, “There was no distinction between being Jewish and supporting Israel. It was an extension of our culture and our heritage.” Others went further, framing their schools as more concerned with Zionism than Judaism. Schwebel, for example, said the religious aspect of her schools was “really tangential” to their real purpose: “You were sent there if you wanted a Zionist education.”

Canadian parliamentary secretary for combating crime Vince Gasparro LIED when he said all of Kneecap was banned from Canada, per CBC.

Only one member was prohibited.

This is an incredible overreach of power and violation of public trust and the rights of these men. He must be held to account.

My heart is breaking from the lack of donations. You are our support and hope in these times. We have lost our income. My children are now dying of hunger and freezing cold. Save me by raising $250 before we collapse.

What is truly wild about this is that Vince Gasparro was essentially copying the depraved behaviour of Marco Rubio, but with even LESS authority to do so, which is to say none whatsoever!

The Immigration Department has banned only one member of the controversial Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap from entering Canada, it told CBC News in a statement, contradicting a Liberal MP's claim in September that none of them would be let in. It’s the first time Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has publicly commented on the cases of the three men since Vince Gasparro, parliamentary secretary for combatting crime, published a social media video two months ago saying “effective immediately, the members of Kneecap have been deemed ineligible from entering Canada.” Gasparro accused the band of support for organizations on Canada’s terror list, Hezbollah and Hamas.

You thought you were experiencing high food prices (you are)?

This is the situation for people who have been starved for two years--now access to food continues to be limited by spending power.

Just $200 – that's all it takes to save a life. A child's hunger could end their life. A mother's tears could stop it. Your love today could save a family. 💙 $200 saves a life. From hunger, cold, and death.

It's extraordinary that it has to be explained to an adult with access to all forms of information that a zionist state founded on violence and committing war crimes for 77 years, will be responded to by violence

There is just an abundance of evidence for genocide as perpetrated by Isr@el and the US. Yet even in my own professional life, individuals who trained me *HOLOCAUST STUDIES* have made statements of genocide denial.

To say 'there's no evidence [of genocide]' is to admit scholarly malpratice.

I’m so sick of sports dominating everything like another white American god we worship. Perhaps it’s time to stop acting like games are more important than the collective. Perhaps it’s time to stop basing our worth on the concept of winning as individuals instead of accomplishing shit together.

You can't make this shit up.
Eddy Portnoy qt of my athleticide article post: Add a new “cide” to the pile. How much more hokey can these people get? My qt of Eddy Portnoy: This is some seriously low-effort genocide laundering. Certainly not worth the $7k Eddy Portnoy: Oh clever man. If you really think it's genocide, then stick with that. You shouldn't need all these inventions to support your case. Me: Read the peer-reviewed article in the leading journal in our field. Then you will know what we think. I look forward to your substantive response. Eddy Portnoy: Indeed. A field that has been captured by anti-Israel activism. Me: Uh huh. The sociology of sport is hamas. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

The IOC has put more effort into their bigoted effort to ban Trans people than opposing the mass murder of Palestinian athletes. That is why the IOC must be abolished. Global sports and athletes deserve better.

Athleticide: "the obliteration of athletics through killing, disabling, arrest, or detention of athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and administrators and the destruction of athletic infrastructure and history—has been part of the US-NATO-funded Israeli state’s genocide in Gaza since Oct. 2023."
