The term “oppressed” does not mean pitiful but only those who are being targeted for extreme systematic violence. Pitiful is knowing what’s going on & standing silent while others are facing war, persecution, occupation, genocide. Criminal is when you defend or justify oppression.

Children are the first victims of Syrian & Russian bombing in Eastern Ghouta
A Syrian child wandering the streets looking for her lost parents: one of those Assad propagandists & their fellow travelers call an actor, a terrorist, or a human shield for terrorists to justify carpet bombing of civilians.
Kashmiri Zafar Iqbal writes: “Little princess innocent enough, with her watercolor blue eyes full of enthusiasm for toys and Barbie dolls and bubble wands and cuddles and kisses and cookies and wafers and bees and butterflies is meanwhile wondering the streets of Syria looking for her lost parents.
“PS- Of course you know, this means war.”
Join a protest rally demanding the immediate cessation of Syrian, Russian, & US coalition bombing of civilians & the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military forces from Syria. Out Now!
“it is not surprising to find many people whom I have deleted for their blatant Islamophobia in the past, turn out to be cheerleaders of Bashar Al Assad’s genocidal war against Syrians. it seems I have not wasted much of my time on social media. more power to people of Syria, Palestine and Kashmir whose legitimate struggles have been smeared with false charges of terrorism by the worse perpetrators of state terrorism and their cheerleaders.”

#Free Kamran Yousef
Six Months in Jail For Doing Your Job
“Kamran Yusuf was born on 26 January 1994 in Pulwama, Kashmir. He is an alumnus of Government Degree College Pulwama. Kamran dropped out of college in 2014 and took to photojournalism, gradually becoming a well-known name within the journalist fraternity of not only Pulwama but across the Kashmir valley as well.”
Kamran Yousuf, 24, is a freelance Kashmiri photojournalist who has spent nearly six months in an Indian jail following his arrest by India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA). Several journalism bodies around the world have condemned his arrest and demanded his immediate release.
Kashmir wants Kamran freed.

The detestable Rania Khalek claims 400,000 civilians being bombed in Eastern Ghouta are terrorists
The execrable, marble-mouthed Rania Khalek once accused the Syrian army of poisoning her when she was embedded up their ass to witness the devastation of east Aleppo. Now she has produced a video for RT affiliate In the NOW justifying Syrian & Russian carpet bombing & denouncing the 400,000 civilians of Eastern Ghouta as terrorists. She is a corrupt, know-nothing hack who will say anything to further her career. When you build your career on groveling, kissing ass & sucking up to state power, you will find good jobs. But when you sell your worthless soul for personal gain, especially to support war & fascism, you will be seen by the best of humanity for what you are. Justice does not forgive the scoundrel.
(Photo is marble-mouth Khalek. Video can be found on FB wall of In the NOW. I would require an exorcist if I posted it here.)
To address the mold problem under my sink, I googled for information about mold contamination. Mold product ads are now showing up on my news feed. A friend told me to use white vinegar & bleach on the effected area which seems to be resolving some of my respiratory problems, especially the fatigue. To confirm her suggestion, an 86-year-old woman clerk at the health food store told me she washed all the walls of her house with bleach after a hurricane created a mold infestation. She hasn’t had problems since.
Protests around world in solidarity with people of Eastern Ghouta
Syrian activists have called for solidarity protests at Russian embassies across the world against Russian bombing in Eastern Ghouta. If there is no Russian or Syrian embassy in your city, you can rally at a US government building since the US is also bombing civilians in Syria.
There are already solidarity protests around the world in solidarity with the people of Eastern Ghouta. Rallies have been or will be held in: Istanbul; Prague; Munich, Bochum, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Wuppertal, Stuttgart, Germany; Paris & Strasbourg, France; Amsterdam, The Hague; Geneva; Copenhagen, Arhus, & Ronne, Denmark; Malmo, Göteborg, & Stockholm, Sweden; London, Manchester, & Bristol, UK; Vienna; Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal; Delhi, India; Sydney, Australia; Brussels; Beirut; Amman, Jordan; Barcelona; Auckland, New Zealand; NYC & Minneapolis, USA; Palermo, Udine, & Bologna, Italy; Szczecin, Bielsko-Biala, Warsaw, & Poznan, Poland; cities in Syria. More cities will be calling them & many who have are not yet listed.
You can find the listings & Facebook events pages at this site so that you can also participate in this historic antiwar & solidarity movement. If you have an event not listed, please notify the admins of this wall so they can announce it. (If you do not have a rally in your town, you can contact me for information on how to call one.)
I ask this question not in the least to be snotty or accusatory because I live in the US with the shambles of an antiwar movement which doesn’t just support but campaigns for Assad’s dictatorship & supports Russian & Syrian bombing of civilians. Believe me, I understand the complexities & conflicts involved in building social movements. I’ve seen movements rise; I’ve seen them collapse or evaporate. You can’t just magically snap your fingers & rally a movement, even when the political need is imperative. But I wonder if any Indians or Kashmiris have insights about why Indians who oppose the occupation of Kashmir are so few?
