Apparently, freedom of speech now matters to the Left again… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is exactly what we were warning about for 4+ years of COVID-era censorship, when free speech no longer mattered because it had become "a conservative issue."

Clearly no one knows the number of Alawis recently killed; estimates range wildly from 800 to many thousands. The situation is serious, however, and the inability of anyone to perform a thorough count means we're still in the dark.

It's disgusting that Kurdish officials would attend a celebratory event at an Israeli embassy amid the #GazaGenocide. This disgraces the memory of both the #YazidiGenocide and the Anfal (the anniversary of the Halabja chemical attacks was last week). So shameful—even by KDP

Important cautionary words from Matthew Barber about the abduction of Alawite girls. He was in #Iraq when the #Yazidis began to flee north out of their ancestral home, with stories of massacres, abductions and rape at the hands of ISIS militants. He helped establish an NGO to

In late 2023, both France and Germany imposed a ban on pro-Palestinian protests while allowing pro-Israel ones. Here's retired Jewish professor Haim Bresheeth -- son of Holocaust survivors -- arrested in London for marching against Israel's war.

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal. And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.
