  1. "#Egypt had enough to argue about without inventing a #conspiracy.

    Its #WorldCup run ended in a 3-2 loss to #Argentina after Egypt had led 2-0. A goal by #MostafaZiko was ruled out after a video assistant referee (#VAR) review, and Egypt complained about the officiating. Fans argued about the referee, the late collapse, and whether #FIFA’s system had failed.

    That is #soccer.

    Then the explanation moved somewhere else.

    In parts of #Arabic-language media and online discourse, Egypt had not simply lost to Argentina. It had lost to FIFA, #Zionism, #Israel, the referee, #LionelMessi, #Argentinian President #JavierMilei, Prime Minister #BenjaminNetanyahu, and a hidden system built to keep Egypt out.

    One #Egyptian commentator made the claim openly: Egypt had lost to “Zionism, the referee, FIFA, and Argentina.”

    That was not match analysis. It was the oldest #conspiracytheory in a new stadium – a new version of the mutating virus that is #antisemitism."
