Assadists & other fascists are denouncing asylum for 100 White Helmets in the UK, calling them terrorists & mercenaries, while at the same time celebrating the arrival from Russia of S300, a long range surface-to-air missile system that will be used against unarmed civilians in Idlib. See how the minds of fascists work?

Seven unarmed Palestinian protesters were killed yesterday by Israeli snipers at the Great Return March. 506 were injured. But an iron-clad rule in media prevails not to report genocide against Palestinians but only present their freedom struggle as terrorism. It is from the attempts to defeat their intransigent struggle that the ideological framework of war mongering using Islamophobia has been developed in the so-called war on terrorism. It must be vigorously opposed & decisively defeated.

GRM Sept 29 2018 Naser Azmy Musabih 12 yr, RIP Sept 30 2018

Naser Azmy Musabih, a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, is one of three children killed by Israeli snipers at the Great Return March on September 28, 2018. It cannot be said often enough that Palestinian children are the primary targets of the genocide in Gaza, not collateral damage–just as Kashmiri, Rohingya, Uyghur, & Black American youth are in their respective freedom struggles. To Israel, Palestinian youth represent a future of resistance to colonialism, occupation, apartheid, genocide.

May young Naser Rest In Peace. To honor his life, build the economic & cultural boycott of Israel.

Best Photography Award 2018 for Basit Zargar Sept 30 2018

What’s so compelling about this photo by Basit Zargar is not that it won the Best Photography Award 2018 from the Press Club Jammu but that it so powerfully captures the inexpressible suffering of children sustaining a brutal military occupation.

End the occupation. Self-determination for Kashmir.

“I have said it before & I reiterate it today that even if India macadamises the roads across Jammu-Kashmir with layers of pure gold & diamonds instead of coal tar, the people of Kashmir won’t give up their inalienable right to self-determination.”
