You'd think that murdering 12 children on a soccer field in Majdal Shams was the big escalation

The reason you see many of Iranian descent celebrate the attacks on Hezbollah & Hamas is that those groups aren't abstractions to us. They killed and tortured our loved ones and drove us out of our country of birth. Sympathy for those groups is a first world luxury.

NEW -- #Assad's regime has just issued a #Syria-wide emergency order for all intelligence directorates & Army units to dispose of two-way radios & handheld communication devices.

By all means feel free to object to this attack on principle, but there’s no justification for pretending that these pagers were given to regular civilians going about their daily lives with no direct connection to Hezbollah’s secure military command infrastructure.

#ISIS attacks in #Syria in 2024 are on track to *triple* what was seen in 2023 -- and #ISIS's sophistication, reach & recruitment are all surging. As Gen. Votel & I argue, that makes a US withdrawal from #Iraq *very* risky. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

Being accused of “racialized dehumanisation” by a white academic because I object to the fascist theocratic death squad militia that brutalises and murders my people. Seriously, the entitlement of these lowlifes is beyond absurd.

Reminder that Hezbollah is almost certainly responsible for largest/most indiscriminate explosion in *history* of MENA, with Beirut Port blast. And has prevented any investigation. It’s possible to be disturbed/shocked/appalled by last 24hrs in Lebanon without being their shill

“In 1984, Hezbollah kidnapped William Francis Buckley, the CIA station chief in Beirut. For 15 months, they tortured him, before handing him over to a Palestinian group for execution. A tape of his shattered body and mind found its way to Washington. The CIA has never forgotten

I covered the Darfur genocide 20 years ago and just returned to the area. I found more massacres, more mass rape, and this time with an added layer of famine. Kids are starving, there is a risk of a cataclysmic famine, and world leaders have done little: nyti.ms/47zlM4V

foreign policy in direct contravention to the responsibility to protect isn't fucking progressive

"A batch of 500,000 mpox vaccines has been bought by the vaccine alliance Gavi, for delivery this year to virus-affected countries in Africa, where until now doses have been scarce." Key point- 10m is required to meet demand. theguardian.com/global-develop…

Many Lebanese and Palestinians (as well as Yemenis, Iraqis, Syrians...) are similarly victims of the Islamic Republic's proxies who are destroying their societies from within at the bidding of a foreign power.

As for my feelings about this, I am primarily shocked and quite sad/upset for all the innocent bystanders who have been killed or hurt, including thousands. As for Hezbollah and its members, I’m shedding no tears for criminal thugs are responsible for so much misery, suffering,

Included in Hezbollah’s list of Mujahideen who have been killed in the last 24 hours, a 16-year-old boy…a child soldier.

Here is your “international law professor” cheerleading for atrocities against civilians and arguing for impunity for Russian crimes by the way, so whitewashing a Hezbollah operative is the least of her deep pathological illness.

Hezbollah is a terrorist organisation masquerading as a political party. It murders its political opponents, starves children to death and holds the country to ransom. In no way is that the same as the fucking Labour Party, have some shame in your life and stop whitewashing

In The Diplomat, I write about the United Nations #SummitOfTheFuture , the upcoming UNGA and how this could be the next opportunity for Australia to step up on its climate ambition. thediplomat.com/2024/09/austra…

Hezbollah terrorist Mohamad Zakaria Abbas was active on Twitter, where he posted rabid support for the massacres of Syrians by Assad and his allies from Daraa to Aleppo. Yesterday, he was killed by his pager.
