“Impactors,” Mikel Arteta called them, and Gabriel Martinelli made quite an impact at San Mamés. “Sometimes you just need a second to change the history of a football club,” the Arsenal manager said last spring, and although describing the goal that set up victory here in those terms would be pushing it, the beginning of a Champions League campaign in which they aspire to do just that underlined why he has insisted on the importance of strength in depth. On a night in which they were without seven key men and were yet to find a way through a club that are the ultimate in resistance the solution came from the bench.One second it was not, but Martinelli had only been on the pitch for thirty-six of them when was suddenly away, racing behind the Athletic Bilbao defence and slipping the ball under Unai Simón to put Arsenal into the lead with twenty minutes left. As if to prove the point, Leandro Trossard, another substitute who had come on just five minutes before him, had provided the p...

3 h. ago Jews and Israel are not the same. Equating them is a propaganda technique | Norman Solomon

The claim is central to rationales for arming Israel even as leading human rights groups decry genocide in GazaMore than nine months after Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch issued reports that concluded Israel was committing genocide – and more than a month since key Israeli human rights groups asserted the same – the American political establishment remains in rigid denial while horrors continue nonstop in Gaza. Virtually all Republicans and most Democrats in Congress still support massive US arms shipments to Israel, so they certainly can’t admit that the weaponry is making genocide possible.Central to rationales for arming Israel is the claim that it is the nation of “the Jewish people”.Norman Solomon is the director of RootsAction and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy.
