Has nobody read or listened to him for the past 30 yrs while he denied genocides, aided & abetted dictators, spread their lies, punched down on Syrian civilians & rescuers suffering Assad crimes vs humanity, supported Putin
Brilliant & really important protest by

Under the disguise of calling for 'peace' she advocates for continued genocidal occupation.

I witnessed asylum seekers who had stayed for one night quietly in a park in Dublin given 10 minutes by the Gardaí to dismantle their tents & leave (to go where?) or be arrested. Two had injuries from being beaten up.
How can racists pitch camp for months without being moved on?
Congratulations to that boy, continuing his work
Remembering wonderful Abbas Khan, and his family, who tried so hard to save him
May he Rest in Peace, may his memory be a blessing to all who loved him
May his murderer face justice one day soon
In 2012 British surgeon Abbas Khan went to Aleppo, Syria to treat wounded civilians. He was consequently tortured and murdered by the Assad regime. His story touched many, including a 15 year old boy from Aleppo who wanted to be like Dr Khan.
Today that boy graduated a doctor.

Clare Daly supports the genocidal Assad regime in Syria, & the brutal Iran regime which wages terrorism right across the Middle East. She uses her position in the European Parliament to spread Russia MFA lies denying war crimes in Syria & slandering heroic Syrian rescue workers
Elizabeth Tsurkov is a highly regarded academic and journalist, a person of compassion and integrity, an Israeli who supports
#FreePalestine
&
#FreeSyria
. Her Iranian backed militia captors force her to tell these ridiculous lies.
The first video of Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was kidnapped in Iraq by Iranian-backed groups claiming she was an Israeli spy, has been released. It is likely that Elizabeth was forced to speak these words after a long period of captivity and psychological pressure.

We Nicaraguans living in Ireland are delighted to see Mick Wallace and Clare Daly out of the EU parliament. They opposed EU sanctions against the Ortega-Murillo regime that has forced 250.000 Nicaraguans into exile.
Roger Waters also uses his concert stages to deny Assad chemical weapons attacks & slander heroic Syrian humanitarian workers. Oh, and he has literally acted as a spokesperson for Russia at the UNSC
Not a good guy. Waters protests one genocide while supporting several others
Why was Clare Daly

And not only Syrians, of course. He was a serial genocide denier.

Arson is a crime punishable bylife imprisonment. Will we ever see any of these reckless racist thugs prosecuted?
@gardainfo
Owen Jones rightly refuses to share a platform with Waters & Maté, two of the loudest western deniers of Assad warcrimes & genocide, both have acted as spokespersons for Russia at the UNSC
They cosplay support for Palestinians while supporting Assad, a butcher of Palestinians
This is suspicious
@owenjonesjourno
- why would you not do everything to share a platform with Roger Waters and Aaron Mate - two of the loudest voices for Palestine?
Sickening hypocrisy
Clare Daly
Supports & enables the genocidal imperialism of Putin & Iran
Visits Assad's Syria & never says a word abt hundreds of thousands disappeared into Assad prisons & never seen again
Votes against resolutions supporting prisoners on death row in Iran
Britain’s Sunday Times has attempted to smear
@ClareDalyMEP
, Ireland’s anti-imperialist MEP, by insinuating that her work on prisoners rights somehow implicates her in a shady (non-existent) plot between the Russians and the Real IRA. However disappointing it may be to Rupert
Thanks to courageous Norma Costello who highlighted Daly & Wallace shady activities, especially re Syria, long before other journalists, & to put it mildly, she received little thanks for it. Tho we were and are grateful.
Clare Daly and Mick Wallace may say they have criticised Assad in Syria, Wallace did after all say in the Dail he is 'far from an exemplary democratic leader'!
They have also done a great deal that acts as a support to the genocidal Assad regime
Appalling from Sabina Higgins
After 8 yrs of aggression & invasion by Putin vs Ukraine - she never uses those words
She gives Zelensky & Putin moral & practical equivalence in the war
no blame or condemnation of Putin whatsoever
She speaks of 'moral choice'
An immoral letter
Mick Wallace shares & promotes Grayzone's pro Putin/Assad/Iran/Maduro lies all the time.
He & Daly amplified their Kremlin orchestrated campaign denying Assad warcrimes in the European Parliament itself.
Daly & Wallace are megaphones for dictatorships, & parrot Grayzone
JUST NOW: Hacked documents reveal that Grayzone Managing Editor Wyatt Reed received thousands of dollars in payments from PressTV, an Iranian state-funded propaganda organization.

Arson is a very serious & dangerous crime punishable by life imprisonment, yet we do not see prosecutions when the arson is of buildings (& tents) used or intended for refugee & Traveller accommodation.

Very worrying that Irish psychotherapists will be 'trained' by the founder of Genspect, someone who wants all health care to be denied to trans people under age 25, who wants only 'exploratory therapy', of a type that she is afraid wd transgress a law against conversion therapy

Roger Waters supports Assad, Putin & Iran.
How could any moral person support that?
He pretends to care about Palestinians. A grotesque act. He didn't care about the Palestinians of Yarmouk, he enables those that butchered & displaced them.
!If the West wants to put pressure on Putin, then it should target his money.
“This is Putin’s Achilles hell. He can only be savage up to a point, which is the point at which his money is at risk.”'
Sarandon has same pedigree of supporting Assad, Iran, Putin etc as Daly & Wallace, her endorsement is not surprising
These wrap themselves up as peace warriors while betraying millions of ordinary people experiencing persecution, repression & slaughter
Palestinians were starved, bombed, killed, disappeared, forcibly displaced from

Three cheers for the people of Drimnagh! 👏👏👏👏👏

They cynically use Gaza as a mask for their support of every anti US tyranny
