Netanyahu declares support for Argentina in World Cup final

Netanyahu declares support for Argentina in World Cup final 📢Your social posts deserve more reach 📈 Auto-share them to all social networks. (website link on my Tumblr pinned post) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared his support for Argentina ahead of Sunday's World Cup final against Spain. The prime minister's office posted photos of Netanyahu holding an Argentina football shirt alongside Buenos Aires' ambassador to Israel, Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish. Wahnish delivered an audio message from Argentina's pro-Israel President Javier Milei praising Netanyahu as his "friend". The Israeli leader reportedly responded: "Javier, you are a friend. A true friend. You are a great friend, we support you, we support Argentina in so many ways, including tomorrow. Good luck!" Netanyahu said he is joined by most Israelis in wanting Argentina to lift the trophy at the New York New Jersey Stadium. "I don't hide it that I'm a fan of Argentina, I think most Israeli citizens do. That is because President Milei has revolutionised Israel's relationship with Argentina, and we have no greater nor better friends," Netanyahu said. Argentina has become Israel's closest ally in South America since the far-right Milei came to power in 2023. Milei is an outspoken supporter of Zionism and has travelled to Israel three times since being elected president. The most recent visit came in April 2026, when he confirmed plans to relocate the Argentinian embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Some observers have portrayed Sunday's final as analogous to the Israel-Palestine conflict, pitting Argentina against one of Europe's most trenchant Israel critics. Pedro Sanchez's left-wing government has responded to Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and expansion in the West Bank by severing all military ties with Israel and banning trade with Israeli settlements. In 2024, Spain was among a handful of European countries to recognise a Palestinian state and is now leading efforts to impose EU-wide sanctions on Israel. The government's pro-Palestine position has occasionally been voiced by major figures in Spanish football. Spanish star Lamine Yamal earned praise from Sanchez in May when he waved a Palestinian flag on an open-top bus during Barcelona's La Liga title parade. Meanwhile, former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made several public statements condemning what he described as the "genocide in Palestine". In Israel, members of Netanyahu's far-right government have cheered Argentina's progression through the competition. "I indeed cannot enter Britain because I am exterminating the idea of the Palestinian state, but two goals got in nicely," Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich wrote on social media following Argentina's 2-1 semi-final victory against England. Ahead of the match, extremist national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote: "Do I really have to explain to you why I pray with all my heart for Argentina to win tonight and make it into the final?"

Bone shipmodel of (USS) Chesapeake , made by Prisoners of War c. 1814 or 1815, 1,44 m long © the middle one was made by me, the rest was made by the International Maritime Museum Hamburg

It is always assumed that this model is USS Cheasapeak which was captured by HMS Shannon. The legend says that the imprisoned crew made this model for the widow of Captain Lawrence.

It is not quite clear where this model was made. Meanwhile there is the assumption that this is HMS Cheasapeake, the repaired and in British service placed USS Cheasapeake. And that the model was built by order, by French Prisoners of War as a reminder of these important battle. Well, finally, it’s the Cheasapeake. The material is whale bone and the whole model measures 1,44m.

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

[legsdemandias]

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.

What’s the worst history book you’ve ever read?

I read Chariots of the Gods by Erich von Daniken a long time ago. Ya know that wanker and con man who started all this ancient aliens bullshit where aliens were responsible for building all the great ancient monuments of the world except the ones white people built. What a load of horse puckey! A lot of his claims are based on his interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts even though he has no background in ancient Sumerian cuneiform and there is no evidence that he knows fuckall how to read and interpret Sumerian cuneiform anymore than I know how to interpret Rapa Nui. And he single handidly opened a Pandora's box of pseudohistory bullshit all because of that one book.

[memories-of-ancients]

Just so you all know Erich von Daniken was a lifelong con man and huckster. Until his book sales made him wealthy, he was constantly being prosecuted and did prison time for fraud, forgery, embezzlement, falsifying records to take out loans, and jewelry theft. His second book was written while in an Austrian prison. Here's a photo of him from 1969 where he was just released from a Swiss prison only to be taken into custody by Austrian authorities to be prosecuted for crimes in Austria.

So if you're all into this ancient aliens bullshit I would take this into account when it comes to Erich von Daniken's credibility.
