    ▶️ Il me semble important de faire un point sur la vague de harcèlement et de menaces de mort qui m’a visé au début du mois.

    No I know my pt is an obvious one. I’m just saying we have a ‘toolkit’ to process civilian deaths in a war like WW2. This regime actually does view a huge chunk of its population as the architects of strategic bombing viewed citizens of imperial japan. Possibly worse actually.

    Assad is not anti-Islamist but anti-Ikhwan, i.e. anti -Sunni- Islamists. It's a sectarian stance, not a secular one. His best pals are uber (Shia) Islamists

    Seems an open question whether Damascus’s anti-Islamism will allow it to eventually normalize with Erdogan’s Turkey – something that would otherwise probably make sense at some future point, whether…

    When you've been protecting Chemical Assad for years you should keep quiet about CW.

    Zarif: I’m not going to make my country defenseless to please the French FM... there are still people in our country afflicted by the chemical weapons Europe gave to Saddam.

    On Sunday, we'll be publishing a first analytical study on the logic underpinning the Syrian regime's systematic use of improvised chlorine bombs in particular. We take the broadest dataset compilable and break down tactical, operational, strategic patterns.

    Unbelievable that ECFR argues that Samer Foz is not part of the regime, Marouta is just another neoliberal project and sanctions are the cause of civilian suffering. 1/2

    It's, if I remember correctly, Iraqi intelligence trying to influence DIA

    please. as i've said before this is NOT a DIA finished intel report. It's what we call a "spot" report stating more or less verbatim what a foreign government source told a DIA officer in field. it's a foreign govt trying to influence US intel. fair game.

    Pensées pour et Didier François présents aujourd'hui à Bruxelles. Nous avons besoin d'eux, de leurs témoignages et de leurs engagements actuels face aux discours de haine, d'où qu'ils viennent.

    J'aurais vraiment voulu pour être au procès ce matin pour écouter les témoignages de et Didier François. Courage à eux, car être face à son ancien bourreau n'est déjà pas simple mais se prendre les commentaires de la défense dans la figure ne doit pas aider

    There are few things more ludicrous and offensive than Egyptian religious institutions and state clerics—who have consistently and unapologetically offered theological justifications for repression and killing—having an international stage to trumpet "freedom" and "tolerance"

    Interfaith has become a PR tool for Arab regimes. Simple as that. Such gestures don’t advance anything other than official image. As religious clerics (both Muslim & non-Muslims) associate themselves with autocrats, that even hurts legitimacy & message. The most basic of facts.

    Good on the UAE for making a public gesture toward religious coexistence. But it's wrong to imply that such gestures are unique—or that the only possible models for the region are either Emirati-style autocracy or ISIS.

    This is my latest. It took me over a year to wrap my head around the changes making the world seem unfamiliar--even unreal. The question posed is that of the hole in the middle: the poor politics that leave ever more space for the alternatives we dread
