We are likely to see Saydnaya prison liberated soon from the Assad regime. Between 2011 and 2015 alone the Assad regime hanged as many as 13,000 civilians in Saydnaya prison. Some of the worst horrors committed by the regime have been in Saydnaya.

Detainees since 2011, since the beginning of the #Syrian revolution, they were in #Suwayda prison, they were released today

“Phenomenal things are happening in battle because of the [Amazon-provided] Nimbus public cloud," said the head of Israel’s National Cyber Directorate in February.

Amazon is complicit. This Black Friday, not a dime for genocide. Sign up now: https://buff.ly/4g31R1t.

More about these books forthcoming in December 2024 at arablit.org -- also, we'll have an excerpt of the wild, satiric Palestinian novel Sand-Catcher on Pub Day, Dec. 3.

Yes, I’m religious. I believe in the holy trinity

Heart shattering to learn an Israeli drone has targeted and assassinated Mahmoud Almadhoun, one of the founders and chefs behind the Gaza Soup Kitchen.

What started as four pots and essential ingredients in Bait Lahia had grown into a remarkable effort to feed 3,000 people daily.

Egypt removes 716 names from terrorism watchlist No further details were immediately available about the identities or political affiliations of the individuals removed from the blacklist.

Among the de-listed names are those of deceased individuals, such as Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi and Abdullah Mohamed Morsi.

Edward Said's The Question of Palestine, white cover on wooden table

Thanks to Fitzcarraldo for sending me the new edition of Edward Said's The Question of Palestine. Great to see this classic reissued at an important time, with Said's later essay on the one-state solution and new preface by the excellent Saree Makdisi.

How the Western media covered up Israel's genocidal intent from day one As arrest warrants are issued for Israeli leaders, it must not be forgotten that they confessed to their crimes from the start. Western media outlets chose to suppress the truth

The Western media conspired to cover up Israel's genocidal intentions from the beginning.

The Israeli state said it was going to do. The Western media lied to you about it.

Watermelon Index launched to expose UK firms' 'role in Gaza war' Progressive International's Watermelon Index exposes over 400 UK companies complicit in Israel's Gaza war.

The International Criminal Court Issues 'Watershed' Warrants for Netanyahu, Gallant, for War Crimes in Gaza The court rejected arguments by the U.S. and Israel that the ICC does not have jurisdiction, subjecting the officials to potential arrest in 124 countries

“This is a watershed event in the history of international justice. The ICC has never, in over 21 years, indicted a pro-Western official. Indeed, no international court since World War II has done so."

Our story on the ICC warrant just issued for Netanyahu:

www.dropsitenews.com/p/icc-netany...

Now that the ICC issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu for war crimes while the ICJ issued a series of provisional measures Israel is ignoring as it faces charges of genocide, every country must do all it can to end this war ASAP.

First and foremost, that means a full arms embargo.
