I have no news about my detained father in Syria. Like millions of Syrians, I’m torn between hope & fear.
We’re searching through harrowing videos, clinging to any chance. Yet, Key international humanitarian organisations are absent.
The weight of waiting is heavier than ever
About one out of 100 citizens in Syria, a country of 22 million, has been tortured to death by the Assad regime in the past 13 years.
I don’t think that the world has witnessed this level of industrial torture and brutality recently.
Sill we don’t have warrant by ICC for #Assad or his henchmen.
The famous Syrian activist Mazen Hamada was alive the whole time in Sednaya prison - Assad’s men killed him right before they fled. No doubt they did not want him to testify to their barbaric crimes.
He lived the most hellish life on Earth. The photo of his corpse is something you can never unsee. They raped and tortured him for years. Maybe no man on planet earth lived a life of greater pain and suffering.
Assad and his men are demons and everybody who supports them are pure scum. There were tens of thousands who committed obscene crimes against humanity in Assad’s name and they all walk the face of the Earth today unpunished because tens of millions spread Russian propaganda and lies to defend them. The injustice of the world is too much…
Mazen’s body has been found—brutally murdered by the Syrian regime. Assad bears the primary guilt, but the Dutch government is jointly responsible for his death. Mazen lived nearby; I saw him just a short while before he disappeared. I’ll share more details below later.
don't forget to humanise Palestine. every single individual who has been martyred, is wounded, has lost their home and family. all of them, they have dreams, hopes, fears. they have a favourite colour & a song, a vegetable they hate. they are you & me. not numbers.
Every child killed in Gaza today would be alive if we had a cease-fire yesterday. These are the stakes. This is our failing. You can retweet this everyday until a cease-fire happens because it remains true. How high does the pile of bodies have to get?
BBC doing what they do best: push Israel's narrative. However, @hzomlot did a brilliant job of challenging the hypocrisy of the BBC👍👍. One of the best interviews I’ve seen.
Please watch the video below 👇
Some key points made my Husam.
▪️Do not under-estimate people's will and desire to end occupation
▪️Israel was meant to do one thing: end its occupation settlement expansion
International Governments were meant to provide accountability - they never did
Anchor: do you condemn Hamas?
▪️Don't equate the occupier and the occupied. This is not a war of equals.
From its establishment, Israel has ONE military doctrine: to go and fight civilians
When it fights, it fights civilians.
The real conversation is how do we stop this vicious deadly cycle.
(Anchor again tries to get him to condemn)
▪️You have interviewed hundreds of Israeli officials; how many times have you shown Israel committing war crimes live on your cameras - do you start by asking them to condemn themselves? Have you? ..You don't. I'll answer for you - you DON'T.
▪️I refuse to answer your question because I refuse the premise of it.
At the heart of your question is misrepresentation.
▪️It's always the Palestinians who are expected to condemn themselves.
This is a political conflict and we have been denied our rights for a long time
The right starting point is to focus on the root causes.
▪️You call me here when Israelis are killed - did you call me here when many Palestinians are killed - 200 over the last few months?
▪️Do you invite me when there are provocations from Israelis elsewhere?
2M have been taken hostage by Israel (Gaza)
▪️We need to stop this rhetoric and give the people some ugly truths sometimes.
Anchor: What is the solution?
▪️Equal application if international law and resolutions - like you did with Ukraine.
▪️Full apply the rules of the League of Nations and the UN. Israel has been the exception for the last 75 years.
▪️Israel is an occupying force - it is mean to provide protection for the people under its occupation.
Gaza compared to London, Gaza is tiny, besieged, blockaded. It’s the most densely populated place on earth with 40% under the age of 14. Imagine being confined here for years, under blockade, being bombed and massacred regularly.
Israeli terror goes unchecked.
Disgusted. This is the Israeli occupation’s modus operandi. Attack worshippers in Al-Aqsa during Ramadan. And it doesn't matter whose in power. Palestinians experience nothing but unhinged and unchecked cruelty under this apartheid state. May Allah help our abandoned brothers and sisters.
This brother had returned to Allāh عزوجل not too long ago, please share and rt his recitation so he may continue to attain ajr❤️
May Allāh عزوجل grant him Jannatul firdaus, widen his grave and forgive his sins.
💫✨ I want it to be known loud & clear that the Ramadan lights up in central are from the efforts of Muslims & private companies including @myalgbra @AzizFndn@ramadanlightsUK
We aren't asking for a seat, we are building our own tables. This is the power of our community.
Whatever you do, just be kind. Never mind if it’s not reciprocated. Do it for the sake of the Almighty and watch how your life takes on a different turn.
The White Helmets called for a halt to all Russian and Syrian bombings so that search and rescue missions could proceed unhindered.
Despite the call for a ceasefire, the Syrian regime has bombed NW Syria more than 84 times since the earthquake
