Amal the famous puppet representing a Syrian refugee girl in #Dublin tonight. A reminder of millions of Syrians forced to flee when #Assad began crushing peaceful uprising against his brutal dictatorship in #Syria in 2011: horror still being inflicted by Assad @Syria_Irl
Completely absurd & disgraceful

The world needs many more, louder voices like Phillippe Sands. The scenes of obliteration of human life in Gaza overnight, and over the past 3 years are beyond comprehension. Civilians burned to death. A seriously shameful moment for Europe too.

كيف تشكّل نموذج المثقف العربي، وكيف تغيّرت قضاياه وعلاقته بالسياسة؟ وما الذي دفع المثقفين السوريين إلى إعادة توجيه تفكيرهم نحو الداخل السوري؟

Europe is deeply shameful
To force return to Taliban is to aid & abet crimes against humanity
A crime against humanity:
must form part of a wider attack on civilians ✔️
must be connected to that attack✔️
can occur in peacetime as well as during armed conflict✔️

I stand behind #Gaza58. The Taoiseach says there was "a breakdown" between departments. 58 students with full Irish scholarships are paying for it, in a war zone. Expedite their appeals before 15 October. Email your TDs: https://t.co/SAIY9h40R7 #LetThemStudy

Against UNHCR & FCO advice, the UK Home Secretary is forcing Syrian🇸🇾 refugees to return to a country where whole cities are still rubble, where Israel is violently invading, where the humanitarian situation is critical, & violence still occurs.
All to pander to racists.

Amazing moment.
Navi Pillay has received the Nobel Peace Prize ! https://t.co/HL3r1PJzLO
We are at the Nuremberg Court; I cannot think of a stronger symbol for her Nobel prize.
We are all so thrilled!
This is her first reactions upon hearing the news:
Applications open for Oxford University scholarship which will "fully fund a Palestinian scholar to pursue a DPhil (PhD) commencing in October 2027 at the School of Geography and the Environment." https://t.co/Ptgzyy2Bh1
For all those who despicably claimed that Assad didn’t attack his own people with chemical weapons, read this first hand account from a child victim of those attacks. And shame on you if you still deny Assad’s atrocities.
These grotesque lies, denying Assad's proven chemical weapons attacks, are STILL being pushed, including last week in Dublin where Russian disinformation star @aaronjmate was hosted by @UCDLnH, @wereontheditch & Harry Brown.
Still lying for Assad. Why?
Same expertise level as Robert Fisk, another Arab world "expert" who spent decades mistranslating Arabic words and names, writing for example in his infamous Syria coverage that أمة عربية واحدة (the Baathist slogan of One Arab Nation) meant Mother of one Arab nation.
