I invite you to look into the athletes and artists represented by this company and help them understand who’s really behind it. Many of them have no idea whose hands their careers and image are in.

Kehlani — also a Wasserman client — released a video dedicated to Palestine and called out celebrity silence. The agency profits off voices like hers, while its founder supports bombing the people she defends.

Emily Austin, a well known Zionist propagandist influencer represented by Wasserman, mocks Palestine, praised Israel and co-hosted the FIFA Club World Cup. She was given access to the Epstein file, and works for DAZN. This is who global sports platforms elevate.

Things get even darker. This is Casey Wasserman alongside Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. He reportedly flew on Epstein’s private jet at least 10 times.

Wasserman is one of the biggest agencies in football. It represents players like Fede Valverde, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Curtis Jones, and coaches like Mikel Arteta, Enzo Maresca, and many more. But is also a machine that funds apartheid and genocide. A thread👇🏽🧵

Dear FIFA: Expel Israel, or stop calling it the ’beautiful game’
Football isn’t innocent while FIFA ignores Israel’s genocide in Gaza and allows it to play, says Leyla Hamed. To save the beautiful game, expel Israel now.

Bonnick was abruptly dismissed on Christmas Eve 2024. His posts, which criticised Israeli apartheid and expressed horror at the genocide in Gaza, were shared during Israel’s months-long assault.

After more than 20 years of service, Arsenal fired former kit man Mark Bonnick. Not for any wrongdoing but simply for standing with Palestine. There was no misconduct. No hate. Just solidarity. @Arsenal must apologise, reinstate Mark, and stop silencing support for Palestine.

I would really appreciate if the football community can help here, by donating or sharing. Mohamed Mresh is a young footballer from Gaza, who played for Al-Shujaiiya club. His family are in a dire situation. Any donation, no matter if small, counts: gofund.me/90c090db

Mohamed’s family home is absolutely destroyed. They have nowhere to comeback to. These are in the conditions his family are living in now, children included. His mother was severely injured in an Israeli attack, and can’t walk on her own.

What have you endured, Khaled. After they murdered the soul of your soul, after they bombed your house and your brother's house, still you walked around feeding the hungry, helping those in need. Steadfast on your land. May Allah reunite you with your loved ones in Jannah.

From all the different posters I’ve taken to protests, this was the one people would always stop by, emotional, and ask for a picture. Uncle Khaled was a man who touched people and made them cry from all corners of the world purely for his gentle nature and warmth.

Zionists are having a meltdown on X after a fan waving an Israeli flag was banned from the stadium — but the stewards decided to allow a Palestinian flag to be displayed throughout the game. I can’t believe I’m saying this but… thank you Spurs! 🇵🇸

Maccabi Tel Aviv player Gabi Kanichowsky celebrated a goal by pointing to the Israeli flag and saluting the IOF soldiers who have killed over 50,000 Palestinians in Gaza. In July, UEFA suspended Turkey defender Merih Demiral for 2 matches for his ‘wolf salute’ during Euro 2024. Double standards.

Al Nuseirat Club and Palestine Olympic team goalkeeper, Mohammad Al-Ghafari, was killed in an Israeli attack on Gaza today. His 2 brothers were killed too. At least 356 footballers have been killed in Gaza, yet sporting bodies still allow Israel to take part of sports competitions. Insane.

Beautiful moments that feel bittersweet this morning. Lebanon has endured more than any other country to save Palestinians and its own sovereignty. But reading posts from Gaza about the ceasefire is heartbreaking. The isolation of Palestine truly hurts.

353 footballers have been killed by Israel in Gaza since October 2023 — according to the Palestinian Football Association. 91 of them were just children. In fact, Israel is killing 1 child every 30 minutes, cutting life short for the next generation of young Palestinian athletes.
