    If you want to know what it feels like to participate in a revolutionary war, watch Still Recording, an astoundingly well-made non-fiction film from Douma and Damascus, Syria.

    A number of complex explanations have been advanced by Bashar al-Assad’s tankies as to why I might oppose his chemical weapons attacks, barrel bombing, mass torture and murder of prisoners. But the explanation is simple: I’m against killing and harming people.…

    صمت المجتمع الدولي يعتبر مشاركة واضحة في الجرائم المرتكبة بحق المدنيين من قبل نظام الاسد وحلفائه الروس والايرانيين The silence of the international community is a clear participation in crimes committed against civilians by the Assad regime and its Russian and Iranian allies

    Just as, if you're Jewish, and you dissent from their classical anti-Semitism (Rothschilds and octopi), they accuse you of being a Zionist shill.

    This is their racist modus operandi. If you're Syrian, or have a Muslim name, and you dissent from their pro-fascist victim-blaming propaganda, they accuse you of being ISIS or al-Qaida.

    We have several Dutch politicians doing the similar. But not the Social Democrats (nor the Greens) in The Netherlands. The far left, yes. And the far right, joined with the 'Christian' parties. And a pro Assad journalist.

    Replying to @jessphillips
    Also Corbyn, Thornberry and Abbott employ Putin's Islamophobic propaganda and pro-fascist conspiracy theories to smear Syrian civilians as they are being exterminated. They should also be suspended from the party.

    Every journalist, analyst, politician, and awakened citizen in the world needs to keep their eyes on Sudan. If its military council decides to commit a massacre in order to disperse a nonviolent sit-in, do not pretend you didn't know.

    Strong signals from the transitional military council in Sudan towards non-violent sit-in is reminiscent of pre Rabaa dispersal in Egypt.
