#Putin and #Assad think those who care about justice and freedom for Syria have given up and gone away. We are still here, fighting for our Syrian brothers and sisters. Until our last breaths, we will never be silent. #EyesOnIdlib nitter.siddz.com/4PeaceLoveTruth/status…

Sunday

I love Abu Ali and Ernesto's.

Ummm okay grifterella, you were fine being friends with Assad supporters who were incredibly known for their stance and atrocity denialism. Please stop exploiting Syrian grievances to make a name for yourself.

Unhinged, obsessive, deeply prejudiced and a pattern of behaviour going back years. Owen Jones is a thoroughly unpleasant individual with morally repugnant political views, at least they are now fully out in the open and not hidden behind an "all-out war".

If you need to see how far the left has fallen into a sewer of antisemitism, just look how they react towards a report written on the antisemitism Jewish schoolchildren experience in British schools. An appalling disgrace that no other community would be expected to tolerate.

We are sad to have to tell you all, that Miss Storky, our beautiful and single minded stork passed away last night. She came to us in December 2022. She had been caught and had her flight feathers removed and became a toy for some children. We bought her for $14. Our intention was to keep her until her feathers regrew and then she would fly away to rejoin the other storks. She had other ideas! She claimed ownership of the garden and she was quite possessive of it. She flew freely but always returned to her garden and her daily meals , and was never tempted to migrate with the other storks. The cats were fascinated by her and she made friends with the dogs recovering in her garden. She was very special. We dont know how old she was but we do know that she was very loved for nearly 4 years. Yesterday she was fine, but she didn't wake up this morning. We will miss her terribly and we know many of you will mourn her passing. Fly free dear Storky. There will always be a special place in our hearts for you.

Just before stepping onto the stage, Farideh asked me a simple question: “Should I leave my hair down, or tie it back?” I said let it go.. but my heart broke. She can no longer see her own reflection in the mirror. She still wants to look beautiful, to stand tall, and to be seen. Farideh was blinded in both her eyes by the Islamic Republic during the uprising in 2022, in Sanandaj. She’s a hero and that is why I invited her to join our delegation in Poland while I receive an award. With Farideh joining us, our delegation now carries three women blinded under Islamic regimes. Fahimeh is from Afghanistan. Her husband blinded her, just for women’s rights activities. And Kosar was only 22 years old when she took to the street after the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini in the hand of morality Police, shouting for freedom. The Islamic Republic shot her in the face and took one of her eyes. Yesterday we visited Auschwitz. I walked where millions of innocent people were murdered. We could not hold back our tears. And you know what broke my heart even more? The dictators and oppressors who commit crimes against humanity are the same ones who deny the Holocaust in our country. The Islamic Republic denies the Holocaust, they even hold cartoon contests mocking it, while they are committing their own crimes against our people in the streets of Iran. This is what evil does. It denies the crimes of others while committing its own. That is why we must never be silent. We must speak, we must document, we must bear witness, so the world cannot say we did not know. And at the end, I want to thank Poland for opening your doors to these brave women, for standing with us, for giving us this platform so the voices of the blinded women of Iran and Afghanistan can be heard. Poland knows the price of freedom, and that is why freedom echoes here. My dream is to take these bra women to university campuses in Europe in America to tell the truth what it means living under Islamic Stats. Hear Our Stories! @FahimaSarfaraz @kosareftekharii

Dear friends, We have two update for you 1- about Dr Ahmeds training the Veterinary hospital Turkey. There has been terrible rainfall in Turkey and the Veterinary hospital has suffered some damage. They informed us that they must postpone his visit until they have completed repairs asap. 2-In the meantime we are £3000 pounds short of this months needs and we need to ask for your help. Could you please donate here and help us? justgiving.com/crowdfunding/… Here our old months fundraising that we need also to reach on order to buy all our woods to keep warm the animals during the winter. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

And it’s a fair question. Numerous foreign correspondents I know who covered the same territory, literally & metaphorically, as Fisk say the same thing. He was a fabulist. He made stuff up. See e.g. this account from one of his own colleagues. hughpope.com/2011/11/20/i-do…

Some people imagine that John Pilger (a flat-out fraudster) & Robert Fisk (who wasn’t even present at the places he claimed to report from) were eminent foreign correspondents. Christiane is the real thing - an outstanding journalist & fearless truth-teller. Good luck to her.

Her name was Angelina. Her mother is also dead. They were just out for a walk. This is who Russians murder as we make “deals” with them.

The Canary and Stats For Lefties both retired on the same day, days after a criminal investigation into Your Party, polling at 0%. RIP Corbynism. You died in 2019 but some of you kept fighting like the last Japanese soldier in the forest for 7 more years.

Once again we are in the winter dilemma we usually face. Eat or Heat. In the last 3 months of fundraising we haven't raised enough for 2 months of food. This months fundraising for fuel is also causing us sleepless nights. We are a very small organisation, doing amazing and necessary work in Syria - and we still need your support. The war ended, the problems with animal welfare didn't. We are helping more animals now than at any time in our history. We are neutering, vaccinating, advising, educating and performing 100s of surgeries every month - to save lives and improve conditions for all animals. We do not have big reserves of food, or fuel or money. We only have you. Please, support our efforts for a kinder world for the ones who have no chance. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/… donorbox.org/gunthersfamilye… ernestosanctuary.org/donatio… justgiving.com/crowdfunding/…

We are so proud of our vet  Dr Ahmed! He was selected with other just two Syrian vet to be trained in a large veterinary hospital in Istanbul/ Turkey next week . This is such a great opportunity for him. Our vets are without doubt included as best vets in Syria - and with newer and more upto date training, imagine the knowledge that will be passed on to future vets and animals welfare. His documents and food and training costs are covered but we need to cover for 2 weeks accommodation and for new uniforms and surgical scrubs - and for this we need to ask you for help. 🙏 If you would like to help us with the costs and to further enhance veterinary skills in Syria please could you help us ensure his visit to Turkey? You can donate on these fundraisers. ernestosanctuary.org/donatio… justgiving.com/crowdfunding/… You can state 'Vet training' on your donation. let's help Dr Ahmed to increase his already considerable skills and knowledge. His travel is very soon and he will be able to update us daily about his experience training so stay tuned.

I survived the war with my 9 cats. They are my family. We escaped bombing together. Now I can't afford rent & their food. Donations are very low. Please don't let them go hungry. Even $5 helps keep a roof over us. Help here 👇 paypal.me/nibrasbar #RescueCats #Donate

من بين ضحايا مجزرة السابع من أكتوبر، 7 نشطاء في منظمة "الطريق إلى الشفاء" الذين كانوا يتطوعون في نقل المرضى من قطاع غزة إلى مستشفيات إسرائيلية. كلهم كانوا نشطاء سلام. الـ 7 من أكتوبر كانت حرفياً مذبحة لمعسكر السلام الإسرائيلي؛ إذ اجتاحت حماس عدداً كبيراً من الكيبوتسات التي أُسست من قبل أحزاب اليسار التاريخية.

Nobody wants to organise with nutters. Nobody wants to be associated with thugs calling for hunting Zionists, a label they use for 90% of British Jews. These aren't fringe opinions, these are the exact same pro-Assad loons who were supporting chemical attacks 5 minutes ago.

"Freedom, democracy, and all those issues come from the people themselves. ... Let the people of Iran decide their own future." Er, I can see a slight problem there. Well, a big one. The tens of thousands of bodies of people who only wanted freedom and were murdered by the regime. Incredibly, he is still going on about alleged Western misdeeds in Iran in the 1950s. Generations ago and after 47 years of Islamist tyranny crushing the country, to this day. "I went to Iran in 2014." Yes, he did. No, it wasn't about "human rights". On his return, he dutifully presented "The Case for Iran" at the Islamic Centre of England, a London mosque that serves as the central preaching and propaganda node of the regime's UK network. Just go to your allotment and stay there, quietly, you absurd dinosaur.

As October 7th approaches again, I can feel my chest constricting. I will never forget that morning. I got up at 8:00 AM in New York - 3:00 PM in Israel - and saw an email from a friend. I clicked on the New York Times and saw the headline: “Terrorist incursion from Gaza. 22 dead.” My wife came down the stairs and saw my face. “What happened? What’s going on?” And I replied - while knowing of only 22 deaths - “It’s over.” “What’s over?” “Everything. Gaza. Peace in our time. Life as we knew it. Everything.” I wish I’d been wrong that morning. But I was not. And the pain of that day, and of everything since then, is still unbearable.
