🧵What’s the biggest lie the surveillance industry tells? That they only sell to legal clients. That there are red lines. But what do these companies say when they think nobody is watching? We went undercover to find out

Everyone must respect international law except western powers, Israel, friends of western powers when they're doing it on behalf of the west, but everyone must respect international law.
Iran must never acquire the bomb.

With tensions in the Middle East at a new peak, stability must be the priority.

And respect for international law is critical.

Now is the moment for Iran to engage in a credible diplomatic solution.

The negotiating table is the only place to end this crisis.

It is grossly hypocritical and extremely dangerous that two nuclear-armed states ganged up on a country without nuclear weapons just because it may possibly build one at some unknown point in the vague future.

It's okay to lose people over genocide.

What the west is doing is causing people who don't like the Iranian regime to sympathize a lot more with Iran.

There is no contradiction in the position that the Iranian regime is horrible to its people and that Iran should not be be bombed by western powers.

Every time Israel violates international law and commits war crimes, the west says that Israel has a right to defend itself. This has become so lame, but it's a giant fuck you to any kind of equality among people, this is western supremacism.

The lesson is that Israel and the West can bomb whoever the fuck they want and you'll be a villain if you don't justify murder and genocide.

It's a bit like kidnappers taking hostages from a highway, bringing them back to a house they've stolen then claiming that they're trespassing, wanting them to sign a confession they were trying to break in before releasing them.

The Sisi regime in Egypt is so heartless that it refuses to reunite a political prisoner, Alaa Abd El Fattah, with his heart-broken mother, Laila Soueif, both on hunger strike

It is so cruel that it keeps tens of thousands of prisoners of conscience apart from their grieving families and loved ones

Germany is sliding into fascism. I know people have debated this extensively, but right now all parties around Palestine are effectively one party.. supporting or denying genocide.
