My statement outside the Old Bailey on the #Assange extradition hearing.
Correct. And we all know what happens to socialist countries. We can't leave them alone. We must chip away at them until they crumble. From Cuba to Syria to the DDR.
Horrifying how you downplay Germany’s crimes. The only good Germany, the only one that learned the lessons of history and supported global struggles against European colonial savagery, was the German Democratic Republic
I'll be speaking outside the US embassy in Dublin today w/ @SocialRightsIRL 11-ish am
Very pleased to announce that independent journalist, geopolitical analyst, and fearless activist, Richard Medhurst will join us at our weekly U.S. Embassy in Dublin 4. Bígí linn!
Arab unity and African liberation were not separate causes for Nasser. They were two fronts of the same war. He rejected the artificial divide between Francophone and Anglophone Africa, just as he fought the Sykes-Picot borders that fractured the Arab world. He understood that…
Le silence de la France sur la Palestine est un crime.
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.

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.
