Nope. Supergoal was (or is I don't remember, last time I saw them was 10 years ago) a real thing. Collectible cards of Israeli soccer players. Back when I was in elementary we'd trade cards and gamble them against one another.
That thing is one of the biggest grifts ever created. These cards were really just a bunch of incredibly over priced stickers, but it had football players! And it was official! And shiny! And the company distributed free album stickers outside schools to trap kids in it.
The stickers were sold in those shiny, expensive packages that were essentially loot boxes. Some cards were incredibly rare. In order to actually collect all the cards, you had to spend thousands of shekels. Then, if you did, it allowed you to be enrolled in a lottery, and the very few winners of said lottery got free tickets (and flights) to a football game abroad. Lmao.
Now the worst part is that kids traded stickers with each other or played games to win stickers of other kids, so it was a social experience and if you didn't have a box full of stickers to trade or play with you were left out. I didn't even like football and I basically forced my parents to spend money on this garbage (although not in the thousands like some other kids, in fact I was one of the "poor" kids with few stickers). I completely understand why my parents hated the entire thing.
I wonder how high their profits were. Must have been astronomical. I bet similar grifts are still ongoing to this day.
Shit was crazy, every first day of school people will be waiting just outside of school grounds next to the gate and give away the albums for free with a free pack to get you addicted. The packs were sold in kiosks. So one side of the store was cigarettes, lottery tickets and soccer betting tickets and behind the counter they had supergoal packs for the kids.
At least half of them looked like they could be my cousins!!
Which checks out since I’ve been learning more about ancestry. 🥲 Never ask Hezbollah supporters to chart closest populations to various Lebanese populations…..because they WILL see Ashkenazi Jewish populations much closer than they’d be comfortable with lmao
Incidentally I’ve also been confused for Lebanese a couple times before, both of which have been. Awkward 😭
Yeah ofc there was a lot of forced conversion, despite what the muslims keep repeating, mohamed and his friends killed a lot of innoceny people but i only said it because some jews actually converted and helped mohamed and his movement stay afloat when he was kicked out of mecca
One well-known Shi’a (Ismaili) figure sometimes referenced with that nisba is Qāḍī al-Nuʿmān, a major Fatimid Ismaili jurist. The Institute of Ismaili Studies describes him as the foremost Ismaili jurist and founder of Fatimid Ismaili jurisprudence,  and Shia-oriented sources sometimes refer to him as “Qazi Nu‘man al-Misri.” LOL🤣

Edit:
Here we have a complete, full album specimen:

Apparently 70% of the content in the album was ads. I didn't remember that part of the grift, it's incredible!
Lol, I still remember trading half of my stamp collection for this shit in the 90s. As a new Ole kid this is the only currency we had.

No thank u kind sir
The muslims from the levant are just the descendants of jews who thought mohammed was the messiah who'll build the third temple and converted to islam
Eh, disagree, was probably more like “hey, you be Muslim or pay Jizya, be a Dhimmi, and maybe die”
And some were like “well it seems worth it to convert under the pressure.” Some also were like “let’s not.”
It’s called arabization and it’s a recognized form of colonialism.
Yeah ofc there was a lot of forced conversion, despite what the muslims keep repeating, mohamed and his friends killed a lot of innoceny people but i only said it because some jews actually converted and helped mohamed and his movement stay afloat when he was kicked out of mecca
