Iran? I mean it’s Israel that bombed a consulate in Damascus. It’s Israel that launches air strikes in Syria. It’s Israel that is committing a genocide of Palestinians, with weapons and military support from Britain. And you’re worried about Iran?
Today I made clear to Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian that Iran must not draw the Middle East into a wider conflict.
I am deeply concerned about the potential for miscalculation leading to further violence.
Iran should instead work to de-escalate and prevent further attacks.

were arrested at the pro-Palestine demo in London today for displaying a pamphlet denouncing Zionism as “a racist, antisemitic and reactionary tool of imperialism.”
GERMAN journalist Alina Lipp faces 3 years behind bars for her reporting from eastern Ukraine.
Explaining that Ukraine has been killing civilians in the Donbass region for years and calling it a genocide is deemed a crime, she says.
There is no Uighur genocide in Xinjiang.
But don't just take it from me. Take it from the diplomats from 30 Muslim-majority countries who recently visited the region. And from UN Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet and the countries that signed a letter backing China

Hospitals like this one in Makeevka in the Donetsk Republic are frequently attacked by Ukrainian forces using western-supplied weapons. Yet these war crimes, which take place on a daily, even hourly basis, are subjected to a blanket silence and ignored by the western media
*STATE-CONTROLLED MEDIA*
A reminder of how the BBC tried to deceive the British public into believing that there are no neoNazis in Ukraine, rolling back from its previous position after it became politically expedient.
A masterclass in fascism denial.
THREAD: Nine years ago today nearly 50 people were killed as Ukrainian far-right forces set fire to the Odessa Trade Union House building where hundreds of antiMaidan supporters had taken shelter.
Nobody has been held accountable despite the perpetrators being known from day one
The “heroes of Azovstal” were in reality neoNazi’s that terrorised and butchered the people of Mariupol for at least 8 years, many angry locals told me today on the anniversary of the liberation of the city.
STATEMENT ON MY DETENTION IN MEXICO
At 7pm on Friday I was detained without warning at Mexico City Airport, and quizzed by around 4 different people.
I was held in squalid conditions without food or water, in a room with no ventilation. My phone was also confiscated.
Wondering how many people will change their profile pics to the flag of the Lugansk People’s Republic after 28 civilians were killed in a Ukrainian terror attack on a bakery in Lisichansk using Western-supplied weapons.
This is unhinged, but the message is chilling with Ukraine threatening to hunt down journalists across the world. And it should be taken very seriously given that a number have already been killed by the Kiev regime and its agents. This is an incitement to carry out war crimes.
I found many particles like this one from the cluster munitions used in Ukrainian attacks on civilians in Donetsk city on Saturday night, a war crime under the Geneva Convention that will likely go unpunished as these actions have the backing of the West…
I am heading to Syria to cover the earthquake but this shows the impact of sanctions which continue to hamper relief efforts and are killing the Syrian people.
If the US, EU and others really care then they will lift all sanctions with immediate effect.
The so-called “Defenders of Mariupol” and “Azovstal Heroes” are myths largely created by the western media to sanitise the neoNazi militants and their supporters that terrorised the people of the city for 8 years.
The people of Mariupol are clear that justice must be served.
🚨HUNDREDS of so-called petal mines have been dropped in residential areas in Donetsk.

Kirsty Wark is cold and callous as she interrogates Palestinian ambassador Husam Zomlot over the massacre of 6 members of his family.
What an utter disgrace the BBC has become. This is chilling.
"My cousin is not Hamas. These kids are not Hamas."
Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, lost 6 family members amongst the almost 700 killed in Israeli strikes into Gaza.

This is 12-year-old Volodya. He likes orienteering & running. Last week his leg was blown off after a western-supplied missile struck his bedroom as he slept during a Ukrainian attack in Donetsk. When I met him he smiled and told me he wants one thing. Peace.
Those who are attacking me for reporting from the ground in Donbass are not hurting me, but they aim to silence the voices of those who have been under Ukrainian attack every day for the past nine years, all because it doesn’t fit their - and the Pentagon’s narrative.
"Russia is using gas as a weapon."
Yet it is the EU that has blocked Russian gas supplies and imposed sanctions that have ended up crippling European economies.
Solution: Lift the sanctions, stop flooding Ukraine with arms and start agitating for peace instead of war.
Russia is using gas as a weapon.
We have to address our energy security at EU level.
We learnt from the pandemic that if we act in unity, we can address any crisis.
So let's act together to reduce gas use and provide a safety net for all EU countries.
I call on the Mexican government to secure my immediate release and passage to Managua.
I am also calling on the British government to stand up for democracy and press freedom, and to recognise the results of the Nicaraguan elections
The eternal comrade Vadim Papura who was just 17 years old when he was murdered by Ukrainian right-wing forces in Odessa on 2 May, 2014.

I am the only journalist from a British newspaper covering the Nicaraguan elections from the ground.
Blocking me from doing so would leave the British press free to regurgitate their standard anti-Nicaragua fare unchallenged.
Any PM that doesn’t want to sacrifice years of neutrality by joining an aggressive military alliance is “cooler” than Sanna Marin.
This kind of crap is the logic of identity politics.

You have the blood of thousand of Palestinians on your hands. No mater how much backtracking you do, the stain will never be removed.
Labour has been clear throughout the conflict that international law must be upheld, that the independence of international courts must be respected, and that all sides must be accountable.
Israel must now comply with the orders in the ICJ ruling in full.
My statement 👇🏿
The US is tightening the screw. The Renacer Act passed this week imposes tough sanctions and a possible trade embargo designed to crush the Nicaraguan people.
Fears of a Bolivia-style coup are not unfounded and the US has already said it will not recognise the result.
The Soviet people, by their selfless struggle, saved the civilization of Europe from the fascist rioters. This is the great merit of the Soviet people before the history of mankind.

But the police, the armed forces and most importantly the people remain loyal to Ortega and the Sandinista revolution.
Solidarity with all those on the ground is now vital. We must not fall for the structural misinformation being fed through the mainstream press.
A 15-year-old schoolboy, who worked part-time in the Crocus wardrobe, led more than 100 people out of the building during the terrorist attack. Islam guided the people and directed the evacuation.

You are a war criminal soaked in the blood of Palestinian children. An absolute psychopath and possibly the most dangerous man on the planet. You should be hauled to The Hague along with your fellow conspirators.

in Rochdale is a beacon of hope for oppressed people across the world from Gaza to Donbass, as well as a blow to the pro-imperialist Labour Party. It should - and will - be celebrated by progressives everywhere.
I have not been informed at any time why I am being held, nor when nor even if I am going to be released.
It is no coincidence that it came just weeks after my ban from the US.
I fully believe my detention is political and an attack on press freedom.
🧵This so-called Telegraph exclusive is nothing more than rehashed Ukrainian propaganda - how do I know? Because unlike the author of this hit piece, I met the children and families that attended the camps in Belarus and they tell a very different story.
I’m sorry, but this is utter nonsense. I’ve met many of the children and families from these so-called “re-education camps” and they are nothing of the sort.
All were happy to attend, most for some relief from the constant Ukrainian shelling of their city. This is another lie.
Russia has created at least 70 camps where Russians forcibly "re-educate" deported Ukrainian children.
Russians aim to raise a new generation of Russian military personnel from among Ukrainian children, whom they believe will likely fight against Ukraine or other states in the…

The monument to Azovstal workers who lost their lives in WW2 has been restored in Mariupol after it was damaged during fighting.
Fascism was defeated in the city once more after the Azov neoNazis hid in the basement of the steelworks like cowards, using locals as human shields.
Today Ukrainian forces bombed a wedding in the centre of Donetsk as they continue acts of terror against civilians using Western weapons. This is yet another war crime, as Kiev continues to act with impunity.

Once again, I appeal to other commentators to join me in calling for Julian Assange's extradition to be refused by the British government, and for Mr Assange to be freed from his severe an unjustied imprisonment. If this political prosecution is not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Well, who would have thought that Mexico, of all countries, would collude to block the only journalist from a British newspaper from covering the Nicaraguan elections from the ground?

Utterly shameful & opposed by trade unionists in the region whose genocide the union is now backing.
So - Brits fighting to defend Donbass are “traitors” who should be jailed, but “mercenaries” who have killed Russians and trained neoNazis to commit war crimes are heroes who are given book deals, TV appearances and free passage in and out of the country.
The move came as the Met Police issued section 12 restrictions on the Palestine demo and planned to issue a leaflet warning marchers about unacceptable slogans. Police previously published photos of demonstrators calling on the public to name them so they could be arrested.

The lie that Russia plans to blow up the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant is circulating again, lapped up by a compliant press who will publish any old rubbish as truth on the basis that “Ukraine said so” - but of course the truth no longer matters to these people.
More than 80 percent of Syria's oil is being stolen by US occupying forces along with tonnes of wheat condemning the population to hunger.

But of course according to the Ukrainiacs, the country doesn’t have a Nazi problem.
The replies from Ukrainiacs/NAFO tell you all you need to know about them. Even a terror attack at a shopping mall isn’t enough to stop their pure hatred, silly memes and comments. They are disgusting. Lower than vermin.

Today marks the 106th anniversary of the foundation of the Red Army as Communists and others pay tribute to its role in breaking the back of the Nazi war machine.
The Kononovich brothers, communist youth leaders & anti fascists, thanked supporters as their show trial resumed in Ukraine.
But appeals for Western media and MEPs to attend hearings so they can see the ugly truth of the Zelensky regime have fallen flat.
