Nearly 900 executions in Iran last year, a record high. With hangings of women also at a record high... We are likely to see a new war drive against Iran under Trump. We must stand in solidarity with the PEOPLE of Iran, not the state that oppresses them... countervortex.org/blog/executi...

Videos have emerged from January 2015 showing Syria’s current interim justice minister Shadi Al-Waisi overseeing executions in Idlib of women sentenced for prostitution as part of Jabhat al Nusra’s rule of the area at the time.

Residents of Syria's Quneitra are frustrated by lack of action to halt Israeli advance The presence of Israeli troops who entered a U.N. buffer zone on the border with Syria following the fall of President Bashar Assad is frustrating the local population.

Residents of Quneitra, a seemingly serene bucolic expanse of small villages and olive groves, said they are frustrated, both by the Israeli advances and by the lack of action from Syria’s new authorities and the international community

If you listen to Syrians, you'll see there is a huge focus on the prisons. Thousands of people are now being released from these slaughter houses, some of them had been there since 1982.

Syrian state TV is now broadcasting just a single, still image.

It reads: “The great revolution has triumphed and the Assad regime has fallen.”

History.

Thinking today of Elizabeth Tsurkov, whom I never met personally but who wrote for us on several occasions. She was for years a must-read analyst on Syria's civil war and the armed groups fighting it until Kataib Hezbollah took her hostage in Baghdad ~2 yrs ago. I hope her captivity also ends soon.

So basically, every Russian I sent to die in Syria died for nothing.

I remain a master strategist.

‘Total oppression’: West Bank children being killed at unprecedented rate Huge rise in attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers killed 171 children in year after 7 October

'Officially there is no war in the occupied West Bank, and the scale of death in Gaza has overshadowed the losses there. But children are being killed in greater numbers than at any time since the Israeli army seized control of the area in 1967.'

Seventy Palestinians, the majority of them women and children, were killed by Israel in a single airstrike on a neighborhood near a hospital in northern Gaza.

It is deeply saddening that I no longer see anyone talking about or even remembering Syrian detainees.
There are over half a million Syrian detainees in Assad’s prisons, subjected to brutal torture.
