“The Arabs, Afghans, Pakistanis, we can’t say they’re humans. I’ve studied and worked in genetics. Genetically, they’re not humans. They have a primitive brain and inferior ethics.”
Look at those laughing around him. This is how many Turks think.
I hope Ukrainians are aware of how satisfying 🇷🇺 losses in your country are to Syrians whose country was destroyed by Russian air strikes and mercenaries to prop up Assad.
We were denied justice ourselves, but we can try to enjoy what it might have been like through your eyes.
إن الجمهورية العربية السورية تعتبر أن ما أقدمت عليه قـ.ـوات الإجـ.ـرام الصـ.ـهيونية في عـ.ـدوانها على مستشفى المـ.ـعمداني بقطـ.ـاع غـ.ـزة يشكل واحدة من أبشع المـ.ـجازر ضد الانسانية في العصر الحديث، وأكثرها دمـ.ـويةً.
there was an actual revolution in your country but you called your people “zio-wahhabi cia agents” and cheered for a dictator who barrel bombed and displaced them
Syrians and Ukrainians aren’t less deserving of your solidarity because their oppressors are enemies of your enemies.
Palestinians aren’t less deserving of your solidarity because their oppressors are allies of your country.
Reject campist ideology. Embrace moral consistency.
Dear 🇺🇦,
Every 🇷🇺 tank & fighter jet you destroy, every ammo depot you set ablaze, and every invader you kill, all means fewer victims of Russian aggression elsewhere. They won’t believe the coalition of enemies they have created until it’s too late.
With solidarity,
Syrians
I want my Ukrainian followers to know that at this very moment, Israel is burning civilians to death and bragging about it. They will face 0 consequences for this and their military aid will continue, unphased.
Meanwhile, you are prevented from striking back at your occupiers.
“We (Lebanese) tried to enter Syria from Lebanon [to help] and the Assad regime forced us to turn around and literally said: ‘let them die, it’s not your business’”.
This is the same regime that is falsely claiming that international aid efforts are being hampered by sanctions.
Every announcement of a Russian army or Wagner pig who participated in Syria croaking is a fucking delight, of any rank or role, from the generals to the pilots to the piss ant foot-soldiers. Consider that for every one you kill, a Syrian somewhere goes to bed smiling.
"Peak whiteness"
Isn't it funny how Syrians resisting authoritarianism in their country regularly take part in both Palestinian and Ukrainian solidarity marches, but diasparoids in New York or Toronto will use their Syrian identity to pit these causes against one another?
This is the level of dehumanisation and racism that Syrians have to deal with in Turkey on a daily basis. This is the level of incitement and the kind of language that has become normalised from Turks.
Just imagine the headlines if Putin had bombed a hospital in Kharkiv killing 500 people, many of them kids, and then blamed it on the Ukrainians... Nothing makes Vlad happier than watching the West's touching attempts to overtake his callous cynicism...
Stop allowing disgusting figures such as Lowkey and Roger Waters to get away with their amplification of 🇷🇺 propaganda RE Ukraine, Syria and the Uyghur population just because they share your views on the Palestinian cause.
Hi 🇺🇦 Twitter, Syrian here.
Following the horrifying news from Bucha, I see you've had the displeasure of discovering
@aaronjmate
, having become the new target for his personal brand of war crimes denial.
As Syrians, we can greatly empathise.
USA when Ukraine is defending itself against genocide: “we can’t give you everything you need to win, it’s too escalatory.”
USA when Israel is committing a genocide:
I asked the Pentagon why long-range strikes inside Russia are still viewed as escalatory, given that there has been no major response to the incursion into Russian territory. “Just because Russia hasn’t responded to something doesn’t mean they can’t or won’t .” Full response👇
Only on Twitter will you find thousands of people liking a tweet that glorifies the head of the most barbaric and mass murdering fascist regime of the 21st century as an "anti-imperialist" aesthetic.
these people only have two moods and they are either strongly denying the Assad regime’s chemical weapon attacks, or making jokes about the Assad regime’s chemical weapon attacks and saying the victims deserved it.
BREAKING: Ukraine, with President Biden’s support, has demolished Russia’s Navy to the point where Russia has just withdrawn their final ships from the Black Sea. This is a huge victory for President Biden and Ukraine.
The disgusting and deafening silence over the war crimes currently being committed by Russia and the Assad regime in Northern Syria is a chance for us as Syrians to remind this entire world which views us as less worthy of life to go fuck itself. We will never forget.
📍Kayseri, Turkey
Disgusting racist barbarians are currently burning the houses of Syrians, who are forced to take shelter in other homes for fear of being killed by these thugs.
@baklava_baba
Are you referring to the person who said “it’s wrong to generalise?”, implying that only some of us are non-humans with primitive brains and inferior morals? That was so nice of them, do you want me to single them out and talk about the hero that they are?
Ireland South is DONE. Cynthia Ní Mhurchú cleans up on transfers and eventually finishes fourth. Funchion and McNamara also elected, and its defeat for Mick Wallace.
Bassem Youssef is not an ally of Gaza or Palestinians.
He is a grifter who danced on live television in mockery of the Rabaa massacre when the Sisi regime murdered hundreds of protestors following their military coup.
المهرّج باسم يوسف غسل دماء الأبرياء عن يديه بعد سلسلة من المقابلات مؤخرًا
ولكن لن ننسى أنه لمّع نظامًا قام بقتل آلاف الأبرياء، وهذا النظام نفسه الذي يشارك اليوم في إبادة أهل غزَّة بعد أن أغرق كل الأنفاق بين غزة ومصر، وأغلق المعبر بوجه المصابين والجرحى والمساعدات الإنسانية.
>90% of the Syrian population in regime-controlled areas live below the poverty line. Most only get a few hours of electricity per day. The homes of millions have been destroyed by 🇷🇺 air strikes & the Syrian regime’s barrel bombs. Detainment/torture awaits those who return. ⬇️
Maturity is realising that you’re lucky that these people forget about you and that your people’s cause for liberation is so much better without them as allies.

Right now, Idlib is being burnt to the ground by Russia and the Assad regime, with total global silence and impunity.
Being outraged against these perpetrators and on behalf of these victims isn’t trend-worthy. And our lives as Syrians are not as valuable.
Don’t look away.
This is the result of Russian airstrikes in a single city in the province of Aleppo.
It’s why headlines were talking about Mariupol being another Aleppo.
These are the actions of Russian fascists in my country, which Margaret shamelessly lies about.
@peterdaou
Nope. Who kept Syria from falling to western proxies fighting for NATO imperialists? Russia. Who kept NATO from using Ukraine as a weapon? Russia.
If you’re anti-imperialist you oppose the imperialist nations, US/NATO. They are the only imperialists in the world.
So Israel is allowed to indiscriminately bomb Gaza for more than 7 months in response to an attack, but Ukraine isn’t allowed to strike back during an ongoing full-scale invasion?
#LetUkraineStrikeBack
@freedomrideblog
@peterdaou
Here’s a list of things which 🇷🇺 has done in my country:
- Massacres of civilians.
- Testing over 200 new weapons on Syrian soil, some on civilians.
- Double strikes (targeting a residential neighbourhood and then waiting for first responders to arrive before striking again).
Israel is behaving like the Russian fascist state. And instead of being punished for its actions, it’s treated by the US like a child that can do no wrong and given free reign to do what it wants, while military aid meant for Ukraine is late and conditional on Russia not failing.
Here is the literal foreign minister of the Assad regime stating unequivocally that sanctions DO NOT INCLUDE humanitarian aid. You are embarrassing yourself.
We’re also glad to watch the collapse of their disinformation ecosystem in 🇺🇦 after it flourished in Syria. If only we had our version of NAFO when Russian propaganda smeared all opponents of dictator Assad of being Islamist extremists, just like they now accuse 🇺🇦 of Nazism.
Any donations are greatly appreciated at this time, particularly given Russia’s recent veto against a UNSC resolution to keep the last remaining humanitarian crossing open for aid to be delivered to millions of people in NW Syria.
UN cross-border aid for 4+ million people in northwest Syria has been CUT OFF since midnight due to Russia’s shameless veto. Amid ongoing negotiations we urge the
#UNSC
to renew cross-border aid access for 12 months.
We can’t get back our dead who were (and continue to be) killed by Russian fascists occupying our country and propping up a dictator. What we can do is enjoy watching those same fascists get what they deserve and hope to god that the damage done to them somehow changes our fate.
@jacob_chrn
@eurovanya
To be fair, Russians didn't commit genocide against the natives the same way US whites did. Most of the places Russians settled were uninhabited...
This is the most based thing you will watch today.
A Ukrainian soldier yells “Ready! Ready! This is for Syria! Fire!” before firing against the Russian occupation.
🇺🇦❤️
Ukrainians are being labeled “Banderites” for speaking about Gaza by pro-Israel ghouls who only pretended to support 🇺🇦.
In a similar vein, Hezbollah supporters will cheer for the death of Palestinians who are against Iran.
Meaningful solidarity doesn’t come from oppressors.
Today has not taught us, as Syrians, any new lessons.
Syrians are only acceptable to the world as victims who can be sympathised with if they are not seen as Syrian, and if their murderers are whitewashed or completely omitted.
Israel supported and funded Serbian nationalists who were committing a genocide in Bosnia.
Israel supplied 🇷🇺 with drones that were used to murder Syrian civilians.
Israel has given Ukraine zero support and has maintained strong ties with 🇷🇺.
Israel is not a western ally.
13 years of global apathy on Syria have taught me that when a state is able to commit war crimes on an industrial scale, and without obstacles, it only emboldens other murderous authoritarian regimes.
🇷🇺 is watching with glee.
🇨🇳 is watching with glee.
This does concern you.
Greenwald had some free time today as he wasn’t booked in for his weekly circle jerk with Tucker Carlson, and chose to spend it abusing women on Twitter in order to defend a propagandist posing as a journalist who whitewashes the biggest mass murdering regime of the 21st century.
The reason
@rustyrockets
has built a gigantic audience and is more trusted than most employees of large media corporations is precisely because he airs dissenting voices and views not on the approved list maintained by the NYT and establishmentarians like Professor Sophie.
Syrian journalist
@samerdaboul6
needs your help. He was arrested by 🇹🇷 authorities and brought in for interrogation because of a tweet. Despite being found innocent, he is being detained in a refugee prison in Oğuzeli in preparation for his deportation. Please raise awareness.
Glenn Greenwald is now resorting to classic islamophobic tropes. If my memory does not fail me, he has literally done this before: accusing Muslims on sight of bigotry.
@proud_damascene
Glad to see you found time today to abuse LGBT and Jewish journalists on Twitter. I this something you do often? I hope it gave you all the arousal you were seeking.
> Denies war crimes perpetrated against Syrians by the Assad regime and its Russian ally.
> Feigns support for Syrians under a reactionary and pseudo anti-imperialist narrative.
> Blocks Syrians, of all people, who call him out on his denialism and propaganda.
This is Aaron Maté
As a Syrian, let me be polite about white people whitesplaining my country's conflict; Fuck you
@kthalps
you bootlicking propagandist. Read the works of actual Syrian minorities instead of listening to this fucking clown. This is a good starting point:
"People accusing us of being genocide apologists should talk to the religious minorities of Syria. What they experienced was near-genocide." -
@MaxBlumenthal
shares his impressions from Syria trip & the things you can't say about it in the US. Full ep here
His “internship” is being part of a family-run kleptocracy which siphoned off large parts of Syria’s economy to family and friends in the inner circle. For over 50 years they have pillaged Syria’s economy and enriched themselves while Syrians suffer.
THREAD
I don't think people fully appreciate the nightmare that is the Syrian security state.
Recently, Syrians at home and in the diaspora have had to remind others that they are unable to comment on anything happening in the country, or say anything critical of the regime.
يا سوريين لا اتوقفوا حكي عن سوريا.
اذا وقفتوا حكي عن غزة لا سمح الله أو عن أي بقعة جغرافية تانية بالأرض غيركم رح يحكي عنها. بس اذا بطلتوا حكي عن سوريا ما حدا تاني رح يحكي عنها. لا اتوقفوا حكي عن سوريا.
While Syrians are busy pulling their families out from beneath the rubble following the earthquakes, the Assad regime is now bombing the city of Marea in Northern Aleppo.
This is the pure unfiltered evil Syrians revolted against, and in the face of whom they were abandoned.
In 1999,
@BernieSanders
was heckled by "leftists" opposed to NATO's intervention in Kosovo.
His response was brilliant and is very timely today, as many "leftists" from Brooklyn continue to parrot the Kremlin on Kosovo.
I don’t even know what this person is currently going through. But I couldn’t give less of a fuck regardless and I hope it’s made a thousand times worse.
In the space of just 24 hours:
- Syrian ‘Bashar Al-Saud’ in 🇱🇧 was tortured to death by state security forces.
- Syrian ‘Fares Al-Ali' was stabbed and killed by Turkish youth in Antakya, 🇹🇷.
- Syrian ‘Khalil Abdel Latif’ was shot and killed by unknown assailants in 🇱🇧.

During the siege of Madaya (Syria) by the Assad regime and Hezbollah, Hezbollah supporters, including
@RaniaKhalek
, mocked Syrian civilians under siege in exactly the same way online.
Supporters of Hezbollah and the settler colonial state are two sides of the same coin :)
Hussein Ali Ghandour, terrorist from Hezbollah and the responsible for the siege of Madaya, has been confirmed among the killed following the explosions of pager devices in Lebanon.
Aaron has a long and rich history of denying war crimes, particularly those committed against the Syrian people by the Assad regime and its ally (Russia). He's employed by the Grayzone, which can only be described as a mouthpiece for authoritarian regimes around the world.
No different from when Putin said that Russia is “at war with Nazis” or when Assad said Syria was “at war with jihadists”, as they both razed entire towns and cities to the ground, slaughtering tens of thousands in the process.
The Assadist who is offended for being described as an Assadist once posted an instagram story of an “aesthetic” aerial photo of Sednaya, as part of her regime-guided propaganda tour in Damascus, and as she was knowingly a few kilometres away from the notorious Sednaya prison.
Someone edited my Wikipedia page describing me as “far-left, pro-Assadist, and pro-Putin.”
Love to have my bio be full of smears on a page I have zero control over. These are smears, Wikipedia had even locked my page bc of ongoing vandalism like this.
Make no mistake, what is currently happening in Idlib is genocide.
The Assad regime and 🇷🇺 are targeting civilians in every single area (including hospitals) with cluster bombs, white phosphorus and every other weapon.
They’re even targeting the tents of people they displaced.
Greece has re-launched flights with Damascus. Not a single headline about it.
This is nothing short of normalisation with a genocidal regime. The EU should be ashamed. It has permanently and repeatedly lost any right or moral high ground to lecture anyone about human rights.
A Lebanese man strolls through Damascus and sings about his love for Khomeini, in an attempt to provoke a reaction from Syrians who would be disappeared if they said a word to him.
This is what sectarian occupation looks like. This man is no different from an Israeli settler.
Don’t think for a second that we’re going to be silent about you fuckers calling dead Palestinians “crisis actors” when the same thing was done to us by the Assad regime and Russia for years.
Some of you fuckers even feigned outrage when it was happening to us.
We see you.
you can't just call everything you don't like "imperialist". words mean things! Russia is not imperialist it is a semi peripheral state dependent on raw material exports, with no global monopolies, doing defensive military actions against western encroachment.
He used the term “Untermensch” (german for subhuman) which is a Nazi term used to describe non-aryan people. Seeing how the turkish opposition is inciting hate and racism, and spreading false information, it’s no wonder some of their supporters have turned into eugenicists.
