🧵Under the leadership of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela evolved into a critical Western Hemisphere hub for the Axis of Resistance against Zionism. This role was characterized by strategic military, economic, and intelligence cooperation aimed at countering U.S. influence.
Chávez and former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad solidified a brotherly system based on a shared anti-imperialist outlook.
The alliance facilitated Iranian investments—often through IRGC-affiliated entities—totaling billions of dollars in Venezuelan energy, agriculture, and manufacturing.
🧵A study carried out by academics Dylan Sullivan and Jason Hickel estimates that between 1880 and 1920, British imperialism was responsible for the deaths of some 100 million people in India.

U2’s thoughts on the situation were roundly mocked and condemned on social media.

This new investigation by professor David Miller for MintPress News breaks down explosive revelations about Ben Soffa, the National Secretary of the UK’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC), and why they matter for the Palestinian rights movement.
From ties to a former Israeli spy to the censorship of legends like Leila Khaled and Palestine action co-founder Huda Amouri, these facts raise urgent questions about transparency, integrity, and who controls the narrative in solidarity spaces.
