My statement outside the Old Bailey on the #Assange extradition hearing.
Hello from Dublin. Any Palestine events I should be attending?
Thank you to Iran for welcoming me to their country once again. I was one of the only foreign, British journalists allowed in— during wartime no less— to cover the Israeli aggression. What I saw was shocking and will be released as a documentary film soon.
But your masters in Tel Aviv had other plans Tommy
Christian’s were safe under Assad
For the fourth time, one of my twin children is suffering from malnutrition due to the suffocating blockade imposed on us in Gaza. Because of the lack of clean, safe water and proper food, my child’s weight has been gradually decreasing. The doctor told me he urgently needs a…
This kuffiyah was pulled from the rubble of an Israeli bombing in Iran. Thank you for this gift. The phoenix symbolism is not lost on me in the slightest.
Houthis and Syrians in Beirut ✊
It was an honor to meet with my brother Richard , the legend who said "Fk Israel," in the best way possible @richimedhurst
The Che Guevaras, Sinwars, and Soleimanis of the Global South will not emerge from college campuses of the West. They are born through fire and struggle, and made of the very earth of our land.
Retweeting this from Tehran
The best time to post this video ALL DAY EVERYDAY
I vote we flush the planet down the toilet. To hell with the entire rock.
So what's the plan here? We just sit and watch Israel starve Gaza to death with the support of our own governments? And then what? We just go along with our lives, knowing that that happened? That this is what we are as a society? That our civilization is comfortable allowing…
Had a lovely, long conversation with Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh
"À Téhéran, la moitié des femmes que je croise dans la rue ne portent pas de voile, et les gens s'en moquent éperdument. Je n'ai vu qu'une seule fois un agent de sécurité dans un centre commercial faire signe poliment à une fille de le mettre. Rien de plus."
Literally half the women I see in the street in Tehran have no veil on, and people couldn't care less. I only saw one instance of a security guard in a mall politely gesturing to a girl to put it on. Nothing more.
It's 2007. You're in Damascus. 45° heat. You just got home with 10 cracked video games and 3 seasons of LOST from al Bahsa. 🥲
I think we need a good old lecture from @richimedhurst like he gave you here, to put you in your box @AOC You're a careerist without one ounce of principle or integrity, you fit perfectly with the rest of the #zionists in the Dems/GOP #zionistUniparty #GazaGenocide
Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment does nothing to cut off offensive aid to Israel nor end the flow of US munitions being used in Gaza. Of course I voted against it. What it does do is cut off defensive Iron Dome capacities while allowing the actual bombs killing Palestinians to…
That's why these prosecutors wanna convict me Strictly just to get me off of these streets quickly But all they kids be listenin' to me religiously So, I'm signin' CDs while police fingerprint me
