Yerma Zaguddin @yermazaguddin.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m being overly sensitive. People making jokes about the Israeli footballers’ lack of shooting ability. It’s not funny to me. In the midst of an ongoing genocide, there’s no funny side. Am just blocking people, fuck that. 050

We just could not conceive how a group of snarling, angry men thought their ‘right to march’ surpassed our ‘right to exist’. 29423
