Roger Wade, former CEO of Boxfresh, was banned from attending Brighton & Hove Albion matches after wearing a Palestine #football top.

Wade, who’s held a season ticket for nearly a decade, explained that he was escorted out of the stadium without explanation. The club later issued a ban letter.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT #TERRORISM.

It it about wiping off #Palestine off the map of the earth.

    Iran’s president really wanted Israel wiped off the map and really meant it

    Nope. The origin of that oft-repeated excuse is a deliberate mistranslation.

    What was ACTUALLY said was “the nation of Israel will disappear from the pages of history”.

    Not exactly polite, but nowhere near the direct and existential threat that Hasbarists pretend it was.

    Iran and Israel are both at the wrong here

    Sure, but the latter MUCH moreso. The genuinely awful theocracy of Iran is not even in the same LEAGUE of awfulness as the West’s favorite fascist apartheid regime.
