In commemoration of the 78th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba, around 250,000 protesters marched through London on Saturday, the same day that the pro-Israel and anti-Muslim Zionist militant Tommy Robinson led a racist rally.

It can now be revealed that the first six of the Filton 24 stood trial with a “terrorist connection” secretly imposed on their case.

That means their sentences could be doubled.

The jury were not informed about this before reaching their verdict finding four of them guilty.

Anti-war activists in London commemorated the anniversary of the May 2014 Odessa massacre, when tens of trade unionists were killed by far-right militias for opposing the Euromaidan coup.

I’m Sunni myself but there’s this one Shia scholar I know and respect who probably has more honour and balls than many Sunni scholars

Big respect for @HMakke91

He reached out at the most random time to support when it was least expected and didn’t even know me

List goes on

The Attrition Podcast is valuable because it’s ruthlessly direct on imperialism/Zionism, no hiding behind neutrality

Also whilst most Sunni platforms exclude Shia voices (intentionally), Attrition simply does the work. That’s not sectarianism; it’s filling an asymmetric gap

[David Miller @Tracking_Power]

This is one of the most serious attempts yet to explore, in English, the theological basis behind Shi’a Islamic resistance movements. The Western left and its media channels have relied on memes and Orientalist sneering to ‘understand’ the Axis of Resistance, without any engagement with expert Shi’a thinkers and theologians like @HMakke91.

This must-watch episode of @ATTRITIONPod is an essential and educational intervention.

[ATTRITION Pod @ATTRITIONPod]

Latest episode of ATTRITION, providing vital insight into the Shia theology that underpins resistance movements from Lebanon to Iran and beyond.

With @HMakke91 🇱🇧

[Ammar Kazmi 🇵🇸 @AmmarKazmi]

WHY THE SHIA WON'T BOW TO ZIONISM

Lebanese Shia theologian @HMakke91 speaks with @ATTRITIONPod about Shia resistance movements from Lebanon to Iran, unpacking the Battle of Karbala and Imam Hussain’s defiant stand against a militarily superior enemy.

Various chauvinists are surprised to see the Iranian president defend the Pope.

If they had any understanding about the Islamic Republic of Iran, they would know that this isn’t surprising... at all.

But such is the political and religious illiteracy of Westerners.

Hezbollah in nearly 24 hours:

1- It has shot down an Apache helicopter airborne in the Bekaa, east of Beirut.
2- It has struck an Israeli Merkava in northern Occupied Palestine with an ATGM.
3- It has launched rockets at Israel's aerospace industry companies in Tel Aviv
4- It targeted an Israeli military site on Talat al-Hamames, south of the southern Lebanese town of Khiam, using a squadron of suicide drones.
5- It is actively engaging in point-blank range confrontations with Israeli forces across the borders.

This was an *absolutely brilliant* episode on the Iran war from @ATTRITIONPod

Lots of insight into Iranian & regional history. And lots about how much learsI is the cause of basically all of the regional conflict. Even the ilearsI connection to the far right in the UK!

[Ammar Kazmi 🇵🇸 @AmmarKazmi]

Iran will DEFEAT the US and Israel

Ali Alizadeh of @Jedaal speaks with @ATTRITIONPod about the ongoing US-Zionist war of aggression against Iran, the assassination of Ayatullah Khamenei and Iran's retaliation, as well as the possibility of US defeat.

What is this eulogy performed in Iran?

It refers to the martyrdom of Abbas, son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, who was the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad (s), during the Battle of Karbala. Abbas was the 'Alamdar' (standard bearer) of his half-brother Imam al-Husayn (the Prophet's grandson). In the battle, following 10 days of siege, hunger and thirst imposed on Husayn's camp, he lost his brother and standard bearer after he attempted to reach the Euphrates river to collect water for the camp's thirsty children. The enemy brutally cut Abbas down, chopping off his arms and filling his body with arrows. So, in this video, they are chanting 'Alamdar Nayamad' ('the standard bearer did not return'). What does this mean? It means the end of the battle has begun, as all hopes have been cut off from the severity of the loss suffered. It means, even if you kill our most beloved, we will fight to the very end. This is the true essence of Islam.
