AQ, ISIS & PKK are Assad's terrorist proxies.
The Syrian people won.
Tyrants will go & people will prevail.
Ukraine must win.

Assad’s removal from power does not give organizations the green light to platform (or in Amnesty’s case) award those who have whitewashed his crimes. This includes Patrick Cockburn, who advocated for British cooperation with Assad even after Assad used chemical weapons.

On a wall of one of Assad's torture dungeons, a prisoner wrote:

"The Syrian Red Crescent brought me here!"

The Red Crescent was an extention of Assad's terror apparatus.

Around 3 pm today, airstrikes reportedly hit 5 medical facilities in Idlib City, Syria, incl. 4 hospitals (one with a maternity ward). Flight data from @SentrySyria shows two Russian aircraft departed Hmeimim and circled above the opposition-held city at the time of the strikes.
The map displays a geographic representation of events and movements involving Russian fixed-wing aircraft on December 2, 2024, across the Idlib and Latakia regions in Syria. Key observations are annotated with timestamps and locations, including: Idlib City: Reports of Russian aircraft circling and initial reports of an airstrike near medical facilities. Jabal Arba’in and Jabal Al-Zawye: Aircraft flying northward. Ma’rat Tamsrin and Maaret Elnaasan: Aircraft flying east and northeast, respectively. Hadir, Aleppo: Aircraft observed circling. Hmeimim Airbase, Latakia: Aircraft flying southeast. The map highlights observed flight paths and activity patterns of Russian aircraft in the region.

There are those who say

the rebels are AQ (they are not)
they are like Taliban (they are not)
worse than Assad (not by a massive margin)

The true terrorists in Syria are Assad, Russia, Iran

who have killed 90%+ of the civilians who have died
in their 14 yr brutal counter revolution

aka Genocide

Excellent piece by Emile Hokayem @emile-hokayem.bsky.social on the situation in #Syria. #President Bashar-al-Assad, aka the butcher of Syria, is hoping to benefit from today’s turmoil in the Middle-East. But the future may not be so kind to him…

EU's foreign policy chief Borrell: "These [ICC] decisions are binding on all states party to the Rome Statute, which includes all EU member states."

It's good to see Netanyahu, Gallant & Deif sent to the Hague.

Syrians are adamant Assad should join them too.

For as long as Syrians & Palestinians remain on X, telling each day about the acts of genocide being perpetrated against them - until they themselves are killed - I will be there too.

@jay.bsky.team are Palestinians welcome & free to tell of the savagery they are suffering, here on Bluesky?

So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.
MS Molly Shah To: support@bsky.app › 04.11.24 Gazan Accounts I am writing about the spam label/ suspension problem that many Gazan accounts are having on Bluesky. I try to message most of the new accounts from Gaza to try to help them avoid being labeled but it would really help to have some more specific guidelines, because many people I believe are following the guidelines l've been suggesting and still having problems. I understand that you probably cannot tell me specifics but even general information would help me help these accounts act in accordance with Bluesky's rules, which I'm assuming is the goal of both of us. It also may be helpful to publicly post some of this information (preferably in a few languages including Arabic). Specifically I would really like to know: - Information on follower count leading to a spam label (is there a hard number they should avoid- is it overall/ by day?) Also are there any plans to just limit the amount of follows an account can do if a large following amount is something that is triggering a rules violation? -Information on how complaints come in regarding messages and replies and how they are generally assessed (once again I know that you can't give me specifics but it would really help to let them know what is going to happen if someone makes a complaint). Also in the case of replies- is it taken more seriously if the complaint is made by the person who got the notification or can anyone complain about a reply (even if it wasn't made to them) and it will be treated similarly? -Information about how an account is assessed for spam if there isn't a complaint about a specific message or reply (for example if the account is reported as spam-what general things do you look for). Would just posting their own GoFundMe link on their page lead to a spam label or suspension if someone reported them? Do you take into account that sometimes Palestinians are targeted for reports because of their race? -Information regarding the appeals process-many times no one hears anything back after submitting an appeal (and sometimes they don't receive any information on what triggered the ban to begin with). Also in which cases would an account be asked to provide ID documents to stay in good standing? I know that moderation is not an easy job but I think that most of these specific accounts would be willing to follow the Bluesky rules if they knew what they were. I really enjoy Bluesky as a community and I know that making it a welcoming place is a goal we probably both share. Thank you in advance for any information you can give me. -Molly Shah (@mommunism.bsky.app)

Assad trained & sent al-Qaeda terrorists to Iraq &
deployed Nusra/ISIS terrorists to derail the revolution.
ISIS supplied oil & wheat to Assad, & moved freely through regime's lines.
Raqqa was an ISIS safe haven, as Assad never bombed the terrorists.

Today we remember the massacre of 160+ Syrian civilians when Russia targeted & bombed the marketplace of al-Atareb seven years ago.

They have received no justice. Russia has never experienced any consequences for its wholesale slaughter of Syrians.

Think of those innocents today.

I wish Nigel Farage would accept the offer & become leader of the Conservative party.

He would give Labour a historical landslide in the same way Corbyn gave the Conservatives in 2019.
