The scenes are devastating from Bari Imam, Saidpur and Nurpur. More than 13k homes reduced to rubble leaving over 40k people homeless yet the outrage is nowhere to be found. No one is raising their voice but what’s even more alarming is how numb we’ve become as a society.

Gaddafi agreed to this and was sodomized to death and now you can buy slaves in Tripoli

Been saying this for a while, but will repeat it for emphasis: “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Iran is going to torture those American prisoners by making them read chapter books

Iran managed to lift sanctions in 4 weeks of war that they were not able to life with 40 years of negotiations.

The west basically rewards raw power and punishes good-faith diplomacy again and again and again,

Between 2007 and 2010, more than half of all newborns in Fallujah had birth defects. In the 2004 Battle of Fallujah, the US used depleted uranium and white phosphorus munitions so extensively that there's permanent levels of heavy metal toxicity in the population even today.

The US treated Fallujah as a “free-fire zone”, attacking all civilian infrastructure with incendiary weapons. American troops attacked Fallujah General Hospital because they said it was "a center for propaganda" given it was publishing the casualty numbers from US attacks. Sound familiar?

The use of chemical weapons there contaminated and poisoned the soil, the land, resources, water and livestock. Adverse health issues such as infertility, cancers and birth defects today are direct results of that.

Is this the closest we’ve come to a humanitarian intervention addressing Israeli war crimes?

[Nikolaj🇺🇦🇵🇸 @nikicaga]

I think about this often

This is the sole reason for Islamic radicalization all over South Asia

The Iranian who translated Kant was Ali Larijani, who Israel assassinated last week.

Greta Thunberg said Trump must allow oil exports to Cuba; now she’s getting called a “fake environmentalist” by people too stupid to understand environmentalism & “If people will die without fossil fuels, it’s a justified exception” humanitarianism are morally consistent stances

Always thought it bonkers, if unsurprising, that the literati in Britain saw this person as some kind of serious commentator on colonialism. He's an Indian political nationalist performer which is very far from anti-imperial. Annual reminder: nationalism is not decolonization.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

An absolutely insane start to a story.

@AmirMateen2 @OwaisTohid @Nazish_Brohi thank you for sharing my piece amir uncle, your opinion means a lot!

[Rauf Klasra @KlasraRauf]

A beautiful analysis by Risa Tohid, a researcher and student of global politics based in Brussels.

“Similarly, Netanyahu, mired in domestic scandal and international warrants, has found in the bombardment of Tehran an escape from the legal fallout of his actions in Gaza. By exporting the logic of “total victory,” he ensures that violence remains the only political currency, effectively drowning out the global calls for a ceasefire and accountability for war crimes”
