"Syria has no right to demand that we release prisoners. On the contrary, we have the right to defend the rights of the Lebanese people. We cannot forget the blood of Lebanese soldiers shed because of this."

These people are insane

Al-Joulani accepted, but only on one condition: that Salam hands over Hezbollah leaders whom al-Joulani holds responsible for the party’s decision to intervene in the Syrian war. Salam agreed but asked for time to arrange the matter.

The story took an even more extraordinary turn when upon his return to Beirut, Salam disclosed the details of the exchange to a senior Hezbollah official. Shocked by the revelation, the official told Salam: “So you asked him for more time?”

While the U.S. rolls back its censorship apparatus, Europe — especially France — is building a panopticon. But as tech evolves faster than regulation, these efforts may ultimately fail, at great cost to freedom.

And Grossi played his part in this worrisome state of affairs.

That's what's in store for Iran and Russia if these people aren't stopped.

Unless it stands as a manœuvre to gain time to rearm while removing (for now) any pretext for resuming military action, this agreement will still be hard to sell in the Madjis.

Fine. Let's have an expert in calligraphy look into it.

She could include Zelensky and his goons on the charge sheet. After all, were it not for their turning Ukraine into a shit hole, Irina might have not felt it necessary to move to the US.

A person with access to millions who calls out the Ukraine project for what it is may soon or later become a target for speaking out the truth.

How many times do we have to repeat it? "Judeo_Christian" is a inherently illogical concept for each of it composing part conceptually rejects the other.

Dangerous territory

"Members of the African Union express their support for a withdrawal from the ICC because they feel unfairly targeted by the Court," explains Ben Abraham to Sputnik Africa, who is also the founder of the NGO Zarephath Aid.
