It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup.

I have heard this independently confirmed from another source.

FYI folks, the Big Holidays coming up are:

Rosh Hashanah is Mon 22 Sep-24 Sep
Yom Kippur is Wed 1 Oct - 2 Oct

And also? You don't have to KNOW who's Jewish to not schedule meetings these days. Just do it.

(AND DON'T BE ALL "WE HAVE TO MOVE IT BECAUSE [PERSON] IS JEWISH" THAT'S TACKY & GROSS)
PUT 👏🏻 JEWISH 👏🏻 HOLIDAYS 👏🏻 IN 👏🏻 YOUR 👏🏻 CALENDARS

The head of my org is Jewish. I have the Jewish holidays calendar on my work calendar so I don't schedule meetings during important holidays! I don't want him to have to do that calculus!
NASA scheduled a major workshop for early career researchers during the most important week of the Jewish calendar, during two of the most important days of that week and expects me to accept that this was “difficult scheduling conflicts”

That’s what casual antisemitism sounds like

Old Soviet joke for today:

A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.

After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”

“I’m looking for the obituaries.”

“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”

“Not the one I’m looking for.”

...but not illegal to say, "god, i want it to happen." because that's its own sentence. it's an incomplete sentence, but it may have nothing to do with the sentence before that, so, that's perfectly fine. perfectly legal.
