The tyrants of Iran - after massacring 30-40,000 innocent people -are now hanging innocent young people from cranes in public and in secret.
This is one of the great moral tests of our time.
Keep shouting about this. Keep remembering them.

Now that Ratko Mladic is dead it’s important to prepare ourselves emotionally for the passing of one of the great whitewashers of his crimes; Noam Chomsky.

An excellent read through his many, many “skepticisms” about genocides and mass murders.

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Important article. Ahmed Alkhatib, a Palestinian from Gaza who lost 33 members of his immediate and extended family in the war, says that Western liberals supporting an Islamic state (Iran) are supporting its associated terrorists.

“Being pro-Hamas, and now pro-Islamic Republic, has become a mainstream position. Essentially you have Western support for Islamist groups. And within this Western coalition you have an unholy alliance of Islamists and supposedly social justice warriors – who ostensibly care about women’s rights, equality, gay rights and immigrant rights, and a whole host of social causes – directly or indirectly singing the praises of a jihadist terrorist organisation.” He shakes his head in anger and frustration.”

We all do mate. Must read from @nicolelampert

The pressure brought to bear on British policing by Islamist extremists is a national scandal that must be adequately addressed - or it will get much worse.

The fascinating thing about those supposed 'lefties' who support the Iranian regime's repression is that the latter (unlike, say, Cuba or USSR or even China today) doesn't have ANY leftists credentials of any sorts.

It's a brutal capitalist oligarchy, religious obscurantist, harshly anti-leftist and anti-semitic (policy of Holocaust denial). But it's anti-Wester and anti-Israel and that's enough for them. Just total political bankruptcy.

A word about Trump’s reckless trade war with Canada. This is happening because Trump’s entire career is based on fraud and grift, which means he simply does not know anything about economics, trade, markets. He never has.

If you ever asked why Iranians have veered so much to the right, the last few days are a good guide. Much of the global left shamelessly sides with the regime brutally oppressing them. This is the “left” they see.

Green Party bans Jewish-Palestinian peace group because it’s linked to Israel

I also watched with much sadness several Syrian friends go from being leftists to Trump supporters over the course of a decade because the Left explicitly made themselves opponents of the Syrian Revolution.
This phenomenon is real but also understandable.

russian empire still spends tens of millions annually to minimise the spread of this historic fact: the Kremlin helped Nazi Germany to start WWII and the Holocaust. by 1939 there was no more enthusiastic and powerful ally to Hitler than imperial russia

Happy Iranian Doctors Day

💔🇮🇷

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

I salute the people of Ukraine on their 35th anniversary of Independence. On this important day the people of Iran stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Ukraine in their fight against aggression and occupation. Your solidarity with the people of Iran as they struggle for freedom will never be forgotten. We will always remember our friends.

Slava Ukraini

Russian state trolls clearly hate the fact that Soviet Russia was an all of the Nazis between 1939 - 1941, which included massive material support from Soviet territory to Nazi war machine.

Would be horrible if people retweeted this.

It's only just begun

A Russian man. In russia. Holding the Ukrainian flag on Ukraine’s Independence Day. 🇺🇦

“No to war! Do you hear me?
No to this damned war!
It has to stop!
Stop killing people!”

“Hi, my party is mental, please don’t judge us by all the mental things we keep trying to pass as official party policy” is one hell of a PR strategy

[Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 @sikorskiradek]

Russian propaganda doesn't want you to know about Soviet-Nazi collaboration 1939-1941.

[Radosław Sikorski 🇵🇱🇪🇺 @sikorskiradek]

Poland is proud to be the first country in the world, the same day with Canada, to have recognized Ukraine's independence.
I salute the heroes of Ukraine's Armed Forces for standing up to Putin's aggression so successfully.
Russian imperialism is a threat to all of Europe.

[Justin Forsyth @justinforsyth]

My article today in the @ObserverUK is a challenge to the Labour Government to stand with the people of Iran and their struggle for freedom. The Labour movement has a proud history of solidarity from the fight against Apartheid to Ukraine. So why does Labour seem so hesitant when it comes to the human rights and democratic aspirations of 93 million Iranians?
