So starve the gazans because hamas stole money? I honestly can't believe this craziness. U r literally trying to find any crimes hamas committed since 2009 to justify mass starvation of the gazan children. You literally can't make up this level of winger brainwashing.

1 Oct 2014 Fatah official accuses Hamas of stealing $700m from Gazans Spokesman Ahmad Assaf strikes out at Hamas for not allotting reconstruction funds, says Mashaal is a burden on Palestinians Despite a recent rapprochement between the rival Palestinian factions, a Fatah spokesman recently accused the Hamas terror of stealing $700 million in charity donations that were supposed to help rehabilitate the Gaza Strip after the summer’s conflict.

Omg. Read ur own article: "The seizures followed repeated UNRWA warnings that not nearly enough food and other vital supplies were getting through because of Israel''s closure of most crossing points into Gaza." UNREAL. That was israel too. The butchers.

Ok? 6 February 2009 – The main United Nations relief agency responsible for feeding 900,000 Palestinian refugees in Gaza today suspended all imports of desperately needed aid after Hamas confiscated hundreds of tons of food, the second such seizure in three days. https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-209885/ Why does the un have to feed Palestine’s when Hamas was ruling the area way back in 2009 ? Were they using their aid $$$ for rockets and bombs instead of being a good government ?

Wtf u talking about? Are u drunk again? There was no mass starvation until recently.

No even as far back as Feb 2009? No Hamas stealing from their people ?

They're corrupt, just like a lot of govts. Our own govt included. Has absolutely zero to do with the mass starvation of gazan population, which wasn't happening until Israel w u.s. support started limiting food into the area. Weak argument. This is on Israel, 110% . The other 40% is on pedo Trump. Yah, total of 150%. Thats how bad this genocide is.

They’ve been stealing and harming civilians since they took power around 2006. …. And likely before. Pretending this is new is weak on your part

This is some of the dumbest thinking I've seen from the wingers. Like Hamas is gonna just sit back and starve to death because the aid is "intended for" civilians? You seriously can't make this stuff up. The dumb wingers drink the red-tinted mainstream media Kool aid on a daily basis.

Dude, it was a moment of weakness and you will be readmitted to the realm of the sane after a short time out. Did you also believe the Jews are starving the children of Gaza like the NYT published? Or were you still on your game and KNOW that the Hamas-holes are interceding on all humanitarian aid because the suffering of Arabs is what they need?

Going back to 2020 vandalism is pathetic whrn radical wingers are committing mass shootings/ murders on a weekly basis recently.

Payback is gonna suck. I'd normally oppose democrats being as nasty as Trump but no more. I'll just watch while having my popcorn. Won't feel sorry for the wingers no matter what happens. You'll deserve whatever you get.

More straight white male conservatives on the loose. Not actually doing anything but staging others to do it. Probably via mind-control. https://www.jns.org/nyt-building-vandalized-after-gaza-story-correction-issued/ Schadenfreude is a terrible thing to feel and I am not happy with myself right now . . . There, I'm over it.

Breaking news from RV. BLM and all of the riots during the summer of 2020 were staged by straight white male straight conservatives. Of course, it is a vast conspiracy. Started in 1619, natch.

More folks should move to the Jerseys ... it keeps them out of the nice parts of America.

He represents Hormozgan. Couldn't find anything on if he is actually from there or just representing them.

I went with 2017. Jesse makes 2023 an enticing choice but that was not near peak of his powers Jesse. I feel the same way about JO in the 2010 bracket. 2017 I believe had the most future world team members as well with 4.

Ah ok that makes more sense. I was trying to remember if I saw Tat anywhere so that makes sense tbh. Hopefully he does well in worlds. Is he Mazani or is he Tehrani? I remember Khateri going to Armenia and doing poorly but I think everyone that went was really bad even Dadmarz. It's a shame that khateri has fallen off since he won u17 worlds but he is still super young so he may end up being a world beater in a couple years time. Maybe the higher weight suits him better than 57kg

I mean Russia did the whole PWL thing with us and USA so I wouldn't be surprised if similar events happen again. But I reckon smaller wrestling countries might for example Hungary or Serbia. I agree those with established wrestling traditions probably not but those developing or want to be potentially. But it is a stretch tbh.

I’m concerned about his Shoulder. Barzegar after his match with Ramazanov was saying what happened to his Shoulder was intentional. I don’t know myself but I guess Barzegar knows a thing or two about wrestling.

They were not happy with Pirdayeh's performance after Asian juniors so they held a mini trial at 65 between him and 3 other wrestlers. This Tat guy won it. That's all I know about him. He hasn't been on any teams previously. As for Khateri, he is only on the team because the 61 at asian champs came fifth. I guess they think he can do better or just want to give someone else a chance. They sent Khateri to a junior tournament in Armenia a few months ago and he didn't do well so I wouldn't expect much.

Yeah. Even though I’ve got a lot of issues with Dabir, I gotta admit he’s done some good for wrestling - even if it’s mostly for his own political gain. I mean, he could’ve easily gotten just as much funding (or more) from the regime and done nothing useful at all. Take Arash Miresmaeili, for example - he’s politically aligned with Dabir, but we all know how he’s pretty much wrecked judo. But honestly, do you think countries like Armenia, Japan, or Russia are actually gonna pay us to compete? I doubt it. Football’s a whole different beast. The thing is, wrestling doesn’t even have the revenue potential that the MMA world does, because people - especially in wealthy countries - just don’t have the patience to watch two guys pushing each other around the mat for six minutes. That’s not Dabir’s fault though. To really make money off wrestling, the whole UWW’s policies and wrestling rules have gotta change.

For the record I'm absolutely against Dabir and his political agenda. I also believe that some aspects of his leadership have been a net positive for Iranian wrestling. Both things can be true at the same time. However, I also agree with you that this is probably not the right place for politics especially Iranian given the recent couple of years. My personal opinion is that Dabir uses wrestling as a way for him to establish political legitimacy within the regime and by extension gain more soft power within Iran's sporting bodies. However, generating income through such partnerships with other countries is not a bad idea at all. For example if Armenia wants to pay us money to train with them we should definitely take that up same with Japan, Russia etc. In football, the top countries demand money to play friendly matches why can't we do the same thing?

For sure I'm just saying that for Yazdani the only thing that matters is an olympic and world title. Beating Tazhudinov in Asians and then losing to him at worlds and olympics is meaningless. Tazhudinov is entering his prime whilst Yazdani is slowly entering out of it so by the time they meet I'm worried it might end up a mauling by Tazhudinov.

Yeah, you might be right. Honestly, I can only really see Dabir’s moves through a political lens - but I’m not gonna get into that here, ‘cause I don’t want this thread going off-topic. You don’t wanna see Hasan vs. Sadulaev? If that match goes down, it’s gonna be way more exciting than just winning a title, don’t you think?
