Al Jazeera’s senior political correspondent Marwan Bishara gave this interview as the Gaza ceasefire deal was being announced, with a realistic appraisal of what may be expected from war criminals and fascists in charge of the Zionist state and its army. Bishara has been providing perceptive and considered commentary on ‘Israel’s’ war on Gaza since… Continue reading Whose Ceasefire?

Shaking hands with the Devil
In what should be the defining image of the ‘jihadist coup’ in Damascus, Germany’s foreign Minister Annalina Baerbock shook hands with the White Helmets outside Saydnaya prison. While this handshake with a male member of the bogus ‘civil defence’ organisation was not actually shown in the DW news report below, it was clearly about to… Continue reading Shaking hands with the Devil
Jaish al Islam returns to Douma.
Since the BBC’s correspondent visited Douma, as I reported previously, there have been many developments in Syria following the ‘jihadist coup’ or ‘Black Revolution’. Three of the main instigators and orchestrators of the takfiri takeover of the Syrian government have appeared in Damascus for talks with the suit-wearing throat-slitters – Turkiye’s Hakan Fidan to talk… Continue reading Jaish al Islam returns to Douma.
Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Only one thing would have been worse than the shocking news that Bashar al Assad had been driven to leave his home and country by a tide of barbarians – that he would suffer the terrible fate of Moammar Qadhafi, hunted down by French and British jets and finally butchered by a mob. It was… Continue reading Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Revisiting Douma, 80 months on.
Following the frankly unbelievable events of last week, that somehow allowed the ‘peaceful’ removal of Syria’s democratically elected President to be replaced with an unelected and unchosen mob of Salafist terrorists, Western media reporters who never set foot in Damascus for ten years were ready to swarm over the corpse of secular and socialist Syria… Continue reading Revisiting Douma, 80 months on.
Hama – a brief history.
On a visit to Syria in May 2010, one of the things that made the greatest impression on me was the sound of Hama’s ancient waterwheels. That is saying a lot, given it was after a visit to Palmyra – but there lies a connection, as these enormous wheels are actually Roman water pumps, lifting… Continue reading Hama – a brief history.
Israel emulates ISIS; Baalbek.
While waiting in Beirut for a visa to enter Syria in May 2018, we took advantage of the free time to visit Baalbek, which had only recently reopened to tourists. Terrorist groups had been ensconced in Arsal not far to the north for some years, but had finally been forced out by a combination of… Continue reading Israel emulates ISIS; Baalbek.
Israel emulates ISIS; Palmyra
Back in 2015, a convoy of ISIS vehicles headed south from their base in Raqqa towards the ancient Roman city of Palmyra and the small town of Tadmor that serves this World Heritage treasure. The town also housed a Syrian government prison and army garrison – which was the ostensible target of the takfiris, but… Continue reading Israel emulates ISIS; Palmyra
Hateful Ideologies
It’s an expression we’ve heard a lot since Hamas fighters broke out of the Gaza concentration camp a year ago, and most recently repeated following the killing of Yahya Sinwar in Rafah. This coward’s murder of the Resistance leader, referred to by the Murdoch Australian as “elimination” has empowered both the murderers and their quarry,… Continue reading Hateful Ideologies
The Al Aqsa Inferno
Giving the lie to ‘Israel’s’ initial collaboration in the Polio vaccination campaign, where self-interest and PR were its only concerns, the IOF targeted the tent encampment next to Al Aqsa martyrs hospital on the day the second round of vaccine was being given to children in another part of the hospital. Several missiles, apparently containing… Continue reading The Al Aqsa Inferno
