btw wanna call out now all the lefties making fun of the british monarchy but their hero anti imperialist is bashar al assad who inherited ruling syria after his father died.
keep doing you.
😎😎😎
she spent years calling for no support for Syrian revolutionaries and platforming and being buddies with ppl who call Syrians "terrorists" and now is like how come there is no support for Syrians???
@DeathAndSnaxes
No, if we’re doing humanitarianism, it should be based on need. Not the fact that the west is more charmed by Ukrainian children than Syrian or Haitian ones.
btw ppl who live and have lived under bombs and through invasions dont do whataboutism they do solidarity. its the western journalists tweeting safely from afar that do it.
Putin is fucking bombing the shit out of Syria once again, forcing 300,000+ ppl to flee in less than a month, and glenn greenwald is doing PR for Russia.
katie halper. max blumenthal. dan cohen. aaron mate. ben norton. all privileged af horrid humans who bank on them being "pro palestine" to whitewash their complicity in spreading assad propaganda.
tankies condemning putin now after shilling for his crimes against the ppl of syria showcasing how racist and islamophobic these parts of the left are despite acting holier than thou against liberals
it is funny these trump extremists being called anarchists when they are pretty clear about wanting him to be their authoritarian head of state for life
I was anti-war while you cheered for bombing Iraq.
I was anti-war while you cheered for bombing Syria.
I was anti-war while you cheered for bombing Libya.
I was anti-war while you cheered for bombing Gaza.
I was anti-war while you cheered for bombing Iran.
And I'm anti-war now.
max blumenthal & co are touring assad's genocide "victory" in syria. so many of you owe massive apologies to syrians you smeared for calling this shit out years ago.
leftie: omg how dare liberals whitewash bush the war criminal like that?
same leftie: president ahmadinejad it would be an honor to have you on my podcast
🙃🙃🙃
sorry folks but those of you who smeared the syrian revolution but are all about supporting these iran protests are showcasing the depths of your islamophobia. it's the burning of hijab thats getting you excited, not any actual care beyond that.
Leftists should always remember that every moment you spend attacking another leftist is a moment you’re not spending fighting the ruling class. Intra left debate is unavoidable but “beefs” are catastrophically unproductive. It’s hard to get along sometimes but we must try
i hope everyone tweeting about Syria tonite will remember that next month Syrians will mark 10 yrs since they rose up against the brutal assad regime. it is important that part of the story is uplifted so that it isnt all about war & death, which does little to honor the martyrs.
have the ppl who were just asking questions come back to say they were wrong. no? ok then that's the difference between journalism and denial of war crimes and genocide.
i was on
@democracynow
this morning discussing
#Syria
and seem to have upset a lot of people for stating things like Assad is a war criminal and the Syrians people deserve freedom and dignity
this is glenn greenwald giving a middle finger to the thousands of Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Somalis, Yemenis, Palestinians, and Libyans Trump has either killed directly or via providing support to their killers
these children were killed this past week either by Russian bombing of Idlib or by Israeli bombing of Gaza. there are ppl who will ask who killed whom to know which children to mourn & demand accountability for & which children to slander as terrorists to whitewash their murder.
ppl keep being shocked how brutal putin is being in ukraine. it's painful to think he helped destroy syria and already that memory seems to be erased for many.
Great news - Poland will accept everyone "escaping from the armed conflict in Ukraine", unequivocally.
Poland promises: "temporary accommodation in Poland,
...hot meal, drink, basic medical assistance and a place to rest" at reception points.
#ukraine
yes but also Trump has expanded the War on Terror, which is why George W invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. should all be seen as continuum of the same policies since 2001.
PSA: if your opposition to Tulsi Gabbard does not include her whitewashing of Assad's war crimes, including the use of chemical weapons, then you are no better than those defending her. this nonsense about maybe she isn't bad on Syria needs to end.
btw the ppl who scream the loudest about trump being not different than any other past president are the ones who in 2016 told us trump was the lesser evil and thus now are trying to save face by painting what trump is doing as not that big of a deal
that major bernie sanders campaign staff are supporting tulsi gabbard in any way should make us question his campaign's commitment to progressive values and policies, most obviously on foreign policy.
The outpouring of solidarity from Black Americans resisting racist violence in the US is inspiring to us Palestinians resisting ethnic cleansing. From Minneapolis to Sheikh Jarrah, from Chicago to Gaza, we can’t breathe until we’re free.
#BLM
#GazaUnderAttack
#SaveSheikhJarrah
I know international law is a dirty word in this country, but a reminder that people seeking asylum are often fleeing (personal, political, sexual) violence & are entitled to claim that right at any port of entry, regardless of the means they used to get there.
ok so jeremy scahill wants us to discuss context to understand Russia security concerns. and yet his thread about NATO bombing of Serbia completely lacks any context of wtf was happening before that campaign...ppl keep telling on themselves.
I also met with
@BernieSanders
before announcing my candidacy. We had a nice one-on-one conversation and I informed him that I would be running for President. In that meeting, he showed me the greatest respect and encouragement, just as he always has.
@RashidaTlaib
Rashida, as a Syrian American who has been inspired by your work, please do not in any way normalize what tulsi stands for. she is pro War on Terror, an Islamophobe, and whitewashes the war crimes of Assad, Sisi, and Bibi.
we dont just need revived antiwar movement. we need revived understanding of internationalism that centers solidarity with all ppl demanding freedom/justice & fights all imperial powers, authoritarian regimes & systems of oppression. limiting analysis to US framework wont help.
screaming hamas to justify bombing palestinian homes, hospitals, markets is depraved.
screaming hizballah to justify bombing lebanese homes, hospitals, markets is depraved.
screaming al qaeda to justify bombing syrian homes, hospitals, markets is depraved.
Syrians are facing so much hell right now and the majority of those who flipped out back in june over a biden airstrike on some militias arent bothering to even pretend to care. and that it why Syrian activists are over antiwar movements and antimperialism. because it is a joke.
tankies: hands off russia! imperialism is bad! russia is just defending itself!
putin: i want my hands on all my neighbors. let's revive the russian empire. imperialism is great.
🙃🙃🙃
really the Syrian revolution isnt deserving of your leftist support because of its worst reactionary elements? do you want me to list the reactionary elements of the struggles you fetishize as the litmus test?
rania is an islamophobic, sectarian propagandist for the assad regime who continues to build her following stepping on the graves of massacred syrians while she pretends to care about palestinians as the regime she shills for kills them.
remember that jill stein's 2016 VP ajamu baraka praised the 2014 "elections" in syria as some sort of win against imperialism.
she and the green party are grifters. stop this nonsense.
again if you a "leftist" mocked Syrians while they were being bombed and spread propaganda to justify putin massacring them, maybe stfu about western hypocrisy.
Iran has and continues to be a pillar behind decolonization and anti imperialism in the Middle East. This is a material analysis on how it’s built up revolutionary Islamic movements to fight against Zionism and colonization and ultimately free the land.
we are in trump era and i do palestine work yet it's been awhile since i experienced the level of islamophobia i have the last 24+ hours, all from ppl who will proclaim they are leftists and in solidarity with muslims 🙃🙃🙃
you dont actually understand Indigenous and anti colonial/imperialist struggle if you think China is the victim when it comes to Tibet, Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan...
MbS will get away with it like Assad gets way with it like Sisi gets away with it like Bibi gets away with it like Erdogan gets away with it like Khamenei gets away with it like Putin gets away with it like Trump gets away with it.
