Extremist Groups Carry Out Revenge, Sectarian Killings In Syria

December 11, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Extremist armed factions across Syria are carrying out executions of civilians and soldiers amid the chaos following the fall of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's government. Al Mayadeen reports on 10 December that a video circulating on social media shows armed militants from Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), the Al-Qaeda offshoot that took control of Damascus on Saturday, carrying out field executions of unarmed men in the village of Al-Rabia in the countryside of Latakia. The militants referred to the men as ‘Shabiha’, a derogatory term long used to describe pro-government Syrian soldiers and civilians.

Ni Una Menos Is ‘Building A New Generation Of Militancy’

December 10, 2024 Marta Facchini Irupé Tentorio, il manifesto global. , , , , , ,
The rise of Ni Una Menos marks a before and after in the history of Argentine. The movement against sexist violence, established in 2015, changed the history of Argentine feminism and showed the rise of the transfeminist masses as a political subject. In nearly 10 years of struggle, the movement shone a spotlight on all forms of violence against women and dissident subjectivities through protesters’ bodies occupying the streets, marching and organizing assemblies in working-class neighborhoods and universities. It has named femicides in plain language and made them impossible to sweep under the rug.

Washington Post Attacks Eritrean Americans For Organizing Defense

December 2, 2024 Ann Garrison, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
Eritrea, a Red Sea nation that defies the dictates of Western powers, pursues egalitarian social development, eschews IMF and World Bank debt, demands a fair price for its natural resources, and refuses to collaborate with AFRICOM , the US Africa Command. Not surprisingly, Eritrea is heavily sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged human rights abuse. Exclusion from the SWIFT system for conducting international financial transactions puts it in the exclusive company of the West’s other favorite bogeymen, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Western politicians, pundits, and press relentlessly castigate Eritrea—never mind their headchopping friends across the Red Sea—with the most recent salvo coming from the Washington Post.

Swimming In Mud In The Fifth Circle Of Hell

November 15, 2024 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. , , ,
In January 2025, Donald Trump – who has cultivated a politics of anger that is not uncommon in our world – will be inaugurated for his second term as the president of the United States. Such a politics of anger is present in many countries, including across Europe – which otherwise sees itself as somehow above the brutal emotions and as a continent of reason. There is a temptation amongst liberals to characterise this politics of anger as fascism, but this is not accurate. Trump and his political confraternity across the world (from Giorgia Meloni in Italy to Javier Milei in Argentina) do not advertise themselves as fascists, nor do they wear the same emblems or use the same rhetoric.

No, There Were No ‘Antisemitic Pogroms’ In Amsterdam

On November 5th, hundreds of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans – reportedly accompanied by Mossad agents – had flown into the city for a game against Ajax FC. It was reported, in the preceding days, that pro-Palestinian groups were planning a large protest outside the stadium against the presence of the Israeli football team. In the two days before the game, there were many reported incidents of violence and intimidation from the Israeli fans – including anti-Arab chants, attacking taxi drivers, ripping down Palestinian flags and attacking homes with any Palestinian imagery.

A World Where Our Grandchildren Have To Go To A Museum To See What A Gun Looked Like

In 1919, Winston Churchill wrote, ‘I am strongly in favour of using poisoned gas against uncivilised tribes’. Churchill, grappling at the time with the Kurdish rebellion in northern Iraq as Britain’s secretary of state for war and air, argued that such use of gas ‘would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected’. Gas warfare had first been employed by France in August 1914 (during World War I) using tear gas, followed by Germany with the use of chlorine in April 1915 and phosgene (which enters the lungs and causes suffocation) in December 1915.

Evo Morales Survives Armed Attack In Cochabamba

October 27, 2024 teleSURenglish. , , ,
Former Bolivian president Evo Morales reported that he survived an armed attack and an alleged attempt at capture early this morning while traveling on the road connecting Villa Tunari with Shinahota, in the Cochabamba Tropics, an area considered his main political stronghold. The attack comes amid a growing internal crisis in the Movement for Socialism (MAS), the party founded by Morales, which is currently facing divisions and power disputes among its various factions. “The first vehicle was hit by at least four shots. In this situation, Evo Morales changed vehicle hastily, it was hit by 14 shots. In that last vehicle, the driver was hit by a shot that grazed his head and another hit him in the arm” says a statement published by Morales in X.

John Mearsheimer’s Folly: How Whites Agree To Misinterpret The World

October 24, 2024 Jon Jeter, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Mearsheimer’s bizarre remarks on the absence of systemic racism in the U.S. would suggest that he is a signatory to what the late Jamaican philosopher Charles Mills dubbed the “Racial Contract” in which whites agree to deliberately misinterpret the world in an effort to qualify the genocide, colonization, and slavery of nonwhite peoples. In his eponymous book, Mills wrote that the Racial Contract “…establishes a racial polity, a racial state and a racial (judicial) system, where the status of whites and nonwhites is clearly demarcated, whether by law or custom. And the purpose of this state …is to maintain and reproduce this racial order, securing the privileges and advantages of the full white citizens and maintaining the subordination of whites.”

Haiti: Resistance Under Attack, Calls For International Solidarity

October 22, 2024 MOLEGHAF, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
VIV ANSANM (the paramilitary gang strangely named “Live Together”) has plunged our population into a terrible darkness in Solino, Fò Nasyonal, Nazon, Kriswa and other nearby popular neighborhoods or ghettos in Port-au-Prince. None of us are free to leave our homes. We don’t know which way to go. The bloodthirsty death squads kill the poor and unfortunate inside their shacks. They burn through homes and memories. We, the population of Solino, have long resisted this barbarism. Stand with us, We need help! The neocolonial Haitian state and their foreign masters lay the basis of these massacres. We cannot continue in this situation. Solidarity is our only hope. 

APIII Militia Infiltrator Warns Of Danger To 2024 Elections

October 12, 2024 Dan Feidt, Unicorn Riot. , , ,
A new set of leaks from inside the Telegram chats of the American Patriots Three Percent militia group (AP3 or APIII) reveal a sprawling network buzzing with activity. We got in touch with someone who infiltrated this group for around two years; they gave us a full explanation of why they spent so long trying to get into the group’s leadership circles, which span many states. ‘The infiltrator’ wrote, “I spent two years infiltrating right-wing terrorist groups. I can say firsthand that voters are at risk on Election Day.” An investigation ProPublica released in August is based in part on the same overall group of leaks. While no one in APIII has caught terrorism charges, the infiltrator has emerged with a lot of receipts which raises questions of whether APIII has violated laws around voter intimidation. 

‘We Can’t Arrest Our Way To Liberation’

September 26, 2024 Eyad Zeid, In These Times. , , , ,
Palestinians and Palestinian businesses have been frequent targets since the genocide in Gaza began. When we opened, we thought that it would only be a matter of time before someone attacked us. And on a recent evening, someone smashed the window where we displayed our flag. At least two other nearby businesses, the bookstore Women & Children First and the clothing store Naaz Studios, were also attacked in recent months in similar ways. And as we know all too well, attacks on businesses that support Palestinian liberation are just a small slice of the overall violence we have seen over the past year.

Ohio: Haitian Group Files Criminal Complaint Against Trump, Vance

September 25, 2024 Rafael Bernal, The Hill. , , , , ,
A grassroots immigrant advocacy group filed a complaint seeking criminal charges in Springfield, Ohio, against former President Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R), over their role in elevating false allegations about Haitian immigrants abducting and eating local pets. The complaint, filed by Haitian Bridge Alliance (HBA) in Clark County Municipal Court, alleges that Trump and Vance, by amplifying those claims, had a “direct impact” in spurring the 33 bomb threats that rocked the southwest Ohio city. “Like those who falsely shout ‘fire!’ in a crowded theater, Trump and Vance do not color within the lines of the First Amendment. They commit criminal acts,” the group said.

Petition: Demand Urgent International Protection Force For Palestine

September 22, 2024 Ousman, Noor, Popular Resistance , , , , ,
It is now clear that Israel will not comply with international demands and legal requirements to cease its massacre of the Palestinian people. In addition to its relentless bombing in Gaza, violence towards Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is rapidly escalating. Today, the IOF conducted a raid on Al-Jazeera in Ramallah and forced its closure. In the wider context of Israel's unrestrained violence, it appears likely that the IOF, combined with the illegal settlers, are preparing for a full scale campaign of terror against Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Yesterday, I launched an online petition addressed to government leaders worldwide to establish an international military force to protect Palestinian civilians.

New Yorkers Protest NYPD Shooting Three On Subway

September 21, 2024 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Brooklyn, NY – On September 18, close to a hundred people came out to protest the NYPD shooting 3 civilians on the subway. The protest was organized by the New York Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (NYAARPR). On Sunday, September 15, two NYPD officers followed a 49-year-old man, Derell Mickles, up several flights of stairs at the Sutter Avenue L train station in Brownsville. They suspected that Mickles skipped the $2.90 fare and proceeded to follow him closely. A confrontation ensued and an officer drew their gun after Mickles allegedly pulled a knife—which NYPD has said they have lost. An officer responded by shooting, hitting Mickles, two bystanders and his fellow officer.

An American woman was shot and killed by Israeli forces during a protest in Beita near Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank on Friday. On Friday morning the State Department confirmed that Aysenur Eygi, a 26-year-old American citizen born in Turkey, had died. Two Palestinian doctors told the AP that Eygi had been shot in the head and died after arriving at the local hospital. “We tried to save the American citizen, we tried to revive the heart for several stages, but unfortunately, we did not succeed in restoring the heart to function,” said Rafidia Hospital director Dr. Fouad Naffa. “We are deeply disturbed by the tragic death of an American citizen, Aysenur Egzi Eygi, today in the West Bank and our hearts go out to her family and loved ones,” said White House National Security Council spokesman Sean Savett
