A man is judged not by what he says or thinks about himself, but by what he does.

The “Israeli hostages” taken by Hamas reveal how they were treated.

“I was worried to get raped but I was given hijab to cover my body. For them, women are sacred, women are like Queens.”

Reminds me of being told Iran was dangerous but the opposite was true. Women are valued.

Ad naseum I was told by westerners Iran was a very dangerous place and the women mistreated. I have never felt better treated by general population of men than Iran and occupied Palestine. Not ogled but respected. It wasn’t that I thought propaganda would be right but I didn’t expect that level of treatment.

This is the Islam the US & Israel have dismissed and not told you about.

They’ve vilified all of Islam by using the very Wahhabist & terrorist Al Qaeda groups they’ve funded and armed as the excuse. The ones of course they’ve supported in Syria & throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. The ones theu along with Turkey used to take down Syria, and who now rule over the country through violence and death.

Yes you respect their customs, as I do in any country that I’ve been in. As I do when I go to an Orthodox Church in Russia and wear a head scarf (the same they wear in Iran) and long skirt. But one of the strongest propaganda campaigns I’ve seen has been against Shia Islam.

I’m not a religious person and in fact I don’t like religion as a whole I find it dogmatic and crippling and having done so much damage, especially having grown up Catholic. Fundamentalism in many form is gross. But you won’t see me lying about what is true and what isn’t.

"Al-Jolani said that there is enough money and food for Syria for years that Assad was depriving the Syrians of"

Where is it?

"Al-Jolani said that he will increase salaries by 400%"

Where is it?

"Al-Jolani said that if the Syrians accept me, I will become president"

Did he ask the Syrians about that?

"Al-Jolani said Syria to the Syrians"

Why did he appoint foreigners to jobs and dismiss Syrians?

"Al-Jolani says that they liberated Syria"

How did they liberate Syria and the Zionist occupation has occupied Syrian lands since the Levant Destruction Authority took power?

The Night Café (1910) by Luigi Loir.

The little known Claudette Colvin. A young lady who, like Rosa Parks, would not give up her seat on the bus for a white passenger. Her act of defiance was actually before Rosa, but the moment didn't use her as their poster child. Here's why.

Merseyside comrades out in Toxteth, Granby Market today.

Granby today. Lovely sunny day, but still chilly. Me and Ian shifted a fair few capitalism/socialism leaflets. Most people were happy to take a leaflet. We had some good convos. We enjoyed our scouse pies at the Winter Gardens, and a cuppa and biscuits. Ian left a leaflet there. I bought a bottle of olive oil from the Palestine stall and had a chat with the bloke there and got their latest leaflet. We rounded it off with a couple of pints in the Casa. The barmaids remembered us. I've just got home. ✊🚩

Landlords don’t "provide housing"—they take it, gatekeep it, and charge you for the right to exist in it. They profit off what workers built while doing nothing themselves. Housing isn’t a commodity; it’s a necessity.
Abolish landlordism.

people who hope for or believe that there will be a DPRK-US summit under Trump are harking back to the era of Brezhnev and Nixon . People's Korea is not Brezhnev's USSR which did deals with US imperialism. People's Korea is a principled anti-imperialist state .

The speeches of respected Marshal KIM JONG UN from last year made it clear that the DPRK is unlikely to enter into negotiations with the US . The last time around the DPRK went to the limit in accepting peaceful negotiations, it showed good faith in trying to reach a peaceful settlement with the US . However , this was not possible because the US wanted to coax the DPRK into one sided disarmament and system change .

With DPRK -US talks it may well be a may well be a case of "been there, done that, got the T-shirtP

By now, any nation that still values its sovereignty should recognise that agreements with the American empire are honoured only as long as they serve U.S. interests. Syria has met the same fate as countless other countries in West Asia—deceived into trusting the United States or its proxies, such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

The lesson is clear: the promises of imperial powers are but shifting sands, designed to further their dominance while leaving ruin in their wake. Sovereign nations must stand united, for the cost of trust in such empires is paid in blood and betrayal.

Biden has presided over immense destruction, but he was just a puppet. An animated corpse to do the bidding of corporate USA.
