Mohamed Salah's Egyptian fans would now rather play cards or quietly doomscroll than watch the Liverpool play amid the ongoing strife between the star player and the club. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/12/11/soccer/salah-egypt-fans-reject-liverpool/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #soccer #mohamedsalah #liverpool #egypt #saudiarabia

We associate #trolling with #edgelord #bigotry

But a #troll can do good

Example:

" #Egypt and #Iran are calling on #football #soccer’s governing body to intervene in the #LGBT #Pride celebration planned to coincide with their group stage match in #Seattle at the 2026 #WorldCup"

Egypt is playing Iran during Seattle Pride Week

And local organizers designated it a Pride Match

🤭

Hey Egypt, Hey Iran: 🖕

There is nothing wrong with #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ

#Israel Moved Gaza’s Yellow Line And Then Shelled #Palestinians For Being On The Wrong Side

They just keep finding new ways to carve off more pieces of #Gaza & murder more Palestinians.

Qatar and Egypt, guarantors of the Gaza ceasefire, called for the withdrawal of Israeli troops and the deployment of an international stabilization force. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/07/world/politics/qatar-egypt-gaza-truce/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #qatar #egypt #gaza #israel #israelhamaswar #us #donaldtrump #middleeast

#Israel says #Palestinians will NOT be able to return to #Gaza through the crossing until the last hostage remains are returned from Gaza [if then]. #Egypt, which controls the other side, said the crossing would open only if movement goes both ways.

Under the terms of the “ceasefire”, the long-closed #Rafah crossing is to be opened for medical evacs & travel to & from #Gaza. WHO says there are >16,500 sick & wounded people who need to leave Gaza for care.

It was not immediately clear when the border crossing would be opened, however, because of a dispute #Israel is having with #Egypt, which wants #Palestinians to be able to return to Gaza through the crossing.

Egypt is training hundreds of Palestinian police officers with an eye toward integrating them into a post-war security force in Gaza, according to a Palestinian official. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/01/world/egypt-palestinians-gaza-police/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #palestinians #egypt
