“Amazon delivers genocide in Gaza”, “Amazon AI bombs kids”
Pro-Palestine activists staged a kayak protest in Seattle on July 4 to disrupt an event co-organised by Amazon.
Organisers said around 20 boats gathered in front of the venue, with demonstrators chanting, “Amazon, you can’t hide, you sell tech for genocide” and “Say it loud, say it clear, Amazon is a war profiteer.”
“The Amazon Worker Intifada aims to disrupt business as usual, shift public attention from celebration to accountability, and pressure Amazon executives to cut ties with Israel and drop Projects Nimbus and Sirius,” organisers said in a press release shared with TRT World.

A Palestinian artist painted a mural of Egypt national football team head coach Hossam Hassan on the rubble of a destroyed home in Gaza after the coach dedicated Egypt’s historic World Cup qualification to both the Egyptian and Palestinian people following the team’s victory over Australia.
The artwork depicts Hassan carrying the Palestinian and Egyptian flags together.
Artist Obeid Al-Karshelli said the mural was created as a gesture of appreciation for Hassan’s solidarity with the people of Palestine.
“I dedicate this victory to another people alongside the Egyptian people. I dedicate it to the Palestinian people, who have never failed to support us,” Hassan told beIN Sports.

From racist abuse by fans to racially-coded commentary and inflammatory remarks by public figures, discriminatory abuse targeting Black players has come under renewed scrutiny at the World Cup, with global football players' union FIFPRO warning of a "growing pattern of abuse" online and in person, and calling for stronger protections.
"There has been intimidation and hostility beyond the pitch. These incidents are not isolated; they point to a systemic pattern that cannot remain an accepted part of football or society,” the union said.
While FIFA has introduced initiatives such as the “No Racism” gesture and tougher anti-racism protocols, experts and players' groups say deep-rooted racism remains a major challenge.

US President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran is effectively over, stating, "I think the ceasefire with Iran is over; I do not want to deal with this scum anymore," during his remarks at the NATO summit in Ankara, Türkiye, on July 8.
When asked whether diplomatic talks would resume, the President remarked that Iran "can talk" but emphasised that doing so would be “wasting their time.”
His comments come after the US military conducted a new wave of strikes against more than 80 targets across Iran in the early hours of July 8 in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed.

Egypt coach Hossam Hassan broke away from discussing his team’s upcoming World Cup round of 16 match against Argentina to give an impassioned monologue about the plight of the Palestinian people.
Hassan, who waved a Palestinian flag after Egypt’s victory over Australia in the last round, spoke for more than four minutes on the subject on Monday and was applauded by many of the assembled media.
“If there is anyone in the world who does not feel for the Palestinian people, then they are not human — whether they are Arab, European, or American,” Hassan said at news conference to preview Egypt’s game against defending champion Argentina on Tuesday.
“Everywhere in the world, including in Europe or America, if someone hurts an animal, we see animal rights being defended and the whole world reacts,” Hassan said. “It has become normal to hear that two or three thousand people die in a single day because of a missile.”
“Regardless of religion, I am a human before being Arab or anything else. My message, through football, is this: Please, just as FIFA’s slogan calls for respect among us, I hope there will be respect for people’s right to live,” Hassan said.
