“Life is so beautiful without the sound of drones.” These words echo the feelings of over a million children in Gaza. The first ceasefire after seven weeks of relentless bombardment has been met with relief by Palestinians. However, this happiness is accompanied by feelings of grief and uncertainty about the future, as Israel has repeatedly vowed to continue its war once the four-day ceasefire is over.

Israeli forces also dropped leaflets, warning that movement from the south to the north “will not be allowed in any way,” even though the ceasefire is meant to include a “guarantee of freedom of movement for Palestinians.” According to local reports, the ceasefire is holding.

Today, in 1973 the USSR boycotted a FIFA World Cup qualification play-off match against Chile in a Santiago stadium used as a concentration camp by the fascist dictator Augusto Pinochet.
Here's one of the darkest chapters in FIFA's bloody history.
The 1970s was an era filled with trauma in Chile, following the US-backed overthrow of democratically elected Marxist president Salvador Allende by fascist general Augusto Pinochet in 1973.
Later that year, Chile and the Soviet Union faced each other in a qualification play-off for a place at the 1974 World Cup in West Germany.
FIFA had no qualms about holding the second leg of the tie at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago where thousands of socialists and "undesirables" had been tortured and killed following the coup.
The Soviet Football Association upholding its anti-fascist principles, protested FIFA's decision to hold the match in the National Stadium which they described as "an arena of execution and torture".
However, FIFA dug in and refused to change the venue.
With FIFA continuing to insist that the game would go ahead in the stadium, the Soviet team boycotted the match.
FIFA refused to acknowledge the Soviet's decision and allowed the match to go ahead, letting the Chilean team start the match with no opposition.
Just days before the match, political prisoners were removed from the stadium and the blood-soaked field was cleaned.
Then, on 21 November 1973, one of the strangest football matches in history took place in Santiago: it ended shortly after kick-off and Chile was given an automatic victory.
Chile played their first match at the 1974 World Cup against West Germany in Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
During the match protesters occupied the stadium and painted "Chile sĂ ,Junta no" on the pitch, which was broadcast live around the world.

Israeli soldiers targeted fleeing Palestinian refugees capturing and blindfolding some of them while tanks patrolled the crowds. The disturbing images were captured by red. Media reporters on the Salah al-Din road in the northern Gaza Strip.
Israel’s ongoing genocidal war against the Gaza Strip has so far led to the displacement of almost 1.7 million Gazans. Despite Israel’s announcement that they are going to set up “safe corridors” for evacuation, Palestinians describe the reality in Salah al-Din Street as horrific, saying death is omnipresent. Mahmoud al-Madhoun, a witness, remarked: “We saw death in all colors on Salah al-Din Street.”
For weeks, the Israeli military has been urging Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip to move south. The reality, however, is that they continue to be attacked and bombed as they flee.

Did you know that the first international trial for war crimes at Nuremberg, which is often credited as a US invention, was brought about by the Soviet Union?
In fact, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British PM Winston Churchill tried to convince Soviet leader Joseph Stalin to support their proposal to summarily execute a list of 2,500 Nazis upon capture as a more "expedient" alternative to Stalin's insistence on an international tribunal.
Until late 1944 and 1945, Roosevelt and Churchill were against the international trial Stalin had called for since 1942.
Indeed, well before any other country, in 1943, captured Soviet military tribunals were trying Wehrmacht and SS officers for war crimes.
Roosevelt initially supported Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr's proposal to apprehend Nazi war criminals and put them "to death forthwith by firing squads."
But when the plan was leaked, public outrage pushed Roosevelt to abandon it.
Churchill eventually, but grudgingly, followed suit, acknowledging in a telegram to Roosevelt Stalin's "ultra-respectable line" that "there must be no executions without trial; otherwise, the world would say we were afraid to try them."
The US is wrongly credited with the idea of an international trial and the significant legal innovations for which the Nuremberg trials became famous.
Proposals by Soviet legal experts, particularly jurist Aron Tranin, formed the basis of the charges of "war crimes," "crimes against humanity," & "complicity" that were lodged against Nazis at Nuremberg and invalidated "I was just obeying orders" as a defense.

Does Israel have the right to self-defense? No, says UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, arguing that an occupying entity has no legal right to "self-defense" against the occupied entity, in this case, Gaza.
"Israel is invoking a non-existent right to self-defense under the UN Charter. Israel has begun a relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip, which [...] has killed over 11 thousand people - 4,506 of them children," Albanese added.
