I see the bot farm has been activated overnight.

No worries, I'll add to this post a number of links to the most common bot shrieks about Assad/Syria and Putin/Russia.

I stand by my words⬇️😎🇸🇾🇷🇺
Bot: You don't know anything about Syria.

Me: my reports from on the ground in Syria from 2014-2021, every year, multiple times a year, pivital times & issues.
ingaza.wordpress.com/syria/syria-my…
For example, in 2016, a year rife with Washington's propaganda about "last doctors" in Aleppo & much more garbage, I spent 4 months in Syria (2 in summer, 2 in October/November), going 4 times to Aleppo but also other key areas.

Uttering propaganda and cliches isn't a strategy of integrity.

President Assad isn't a war criminal, he & the Syrian Arab Army and their allies defended Syrian civilians against the terrorist factions which Stein's government funded & armed in Syria.

President Putin isn't a war criminal. He exercised immense restraint, constantly urging Ukraine to adhere to the Minsk agreements (which both Ukraine & its Western backers NEVER intended to adhere to, we learned) & telling NATO to stop threatening Russia. He waited until the latest possible before finally launching the Special Military Operation.

Do some research, Stein. Your ignorance and ignorant Tulis Gabbard-like statements do not flatter you.
I don't for a moment believe Stein will actually do some research & reconsider her idiocy.

However, for others, here's Jacques Baud laying out the history of how the current situation re Ukraine came to be:

Re Syria, here's an overview I wrote in 2015. Could use updating, but still to the point.

Been smeared for years because since 2014 I reported from on the ground in Syria what Syrian civilians were enduring under the terrorism funded & backed by the West.

On the lesser discussed Israeli starvation & death policies Palestinians in Gaza have been subjected to for 15 years BEFORE October 2023.

This very important clip by Dr. Mads addresses not only that the number of Palestinian deaths (Israeli army murdering of) in Gaza is far, far, higher than official numbers, but also the (preventable) reasons for the "indirect" deaths (starvation, disease, etc).

(Speaking of the Minister of Health in Gaza, Dr. Yousef abu al-Rish, Gilbert said):

"He told me in November last year: It's not now mainly the bombing and the military attacks that's killing our people in Gaza. It is the triangle of death. He called it the triangle of death due to the lack of food entering Gaza and the destruction of the food basket in Gaza. The agriculture, the fisheries, the poultry, the dairy farms, and so on.

And then it is the lack of water, which leads to dehydration and infections. We knew from before this attack that as much as 90-95% of the water in Gaza is unfit for human consumption, because of very high salination content and the contamination from sewage, because the Israeli occupation army has also destroyed the sewage cleaning system."

Dr. Mads has lived in and worked from Gaza, under Israeli bombs, for years. I briefly met him at al-Shifa hospital in January 2009, arriving there with the Palestinian medics I was accompanying in northern Gaza during that Israeli massacre of Gaza.

Like him, I've been writing & speaking for years about the critical, prevetable, issues that have contributed to the water crisis, the food crisis, the medical crisis (all under Israel's nearly 2 decades long siege.

I say this to make the point: these crises are not new, not post October 2023, but have been deliberately created by Israel over the years, to slowly kill Palestinians when Israel wasn't all out warring on Gaza, and to set the stage for now, Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

The UN has long been aware of these factors and periodically issued meek-worded statement of concern, but did nothing to stop Israel from worsening conditions, just as the UN and international bodies do nothing to stop Israel's genocide of Gaza.
In this December 2013 interview, I outlined many of these things.

My reflections on Ukraine’s murder of 30 Russian journalists, the most recent being a talented journalist I had the honour of meeting & working with, Nikita Tsitsagi, 29, a Russian photojournalist.

Just over two weeks after another Russian journalist was deliberately targeted and killed by Ukrainian forces, global media and most international journalist support groups remain unsurprisingly silent.

Nikita Tsitsagi, 29, a Russian photojournalist, was targeted by a Ukrainian drone on June 16 as he prepared to do another report from the St. Nicholas Monastery near Ugledar—a monastery, heavily-targeted by Ukrainian shelling over the years. Yet, civilians remain the region, and many have taken shelter in the monastery. These are often the focus of journalists who go there.

Just three days prior, Ukrainian forces targeted Russian NTV journalists filming in the extremely hard hit village of Golmovsky, east of the northern DPR city of Gorlovka. The Ukrainian drone strike killed cameraman Valery Kozhin and seriously injured Alexey Ivliyev, a war correspondent.

The targeting of journalists is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.

In June, President Vladimir Putin spoke of Ukraine’s targeting of Russian journalists, noting, “At least 30 people died, our journalists died, and no one gives us the opportunity to investigate what happened to them.”

Russia’s Envoy to UNESCO in Paris called for UNESCO to condemn the killing of Russian journalists, saying:

“All these killings, they were not condemned. This is despite the fact that the Secretariat has all the information on their killings.” He noted the lack of condemnation shows double standards and a political bias.

It is sadly another case of only some journalists lives matter.

Nikita's murder is personal for me, as I’d met him several times and gotten to know his gentle character: kind, humble, generous with his time, and professional.

We went together on two different occasions in November 2022 to interview people, one of which was to the Ukrainian-battered villages of Zaitsevo and Golmovsky in the Gorlovka region. Nikita kindly translated my questions to residents there, giving of his time and ensuring no nuance was lost.

He also was quick to reply the few times I messaged him regarding an event in the Donbass or a contact I asked to speak with.

His journalism covered military aspects, as well as humanitarian issues. One of his reports from July 2023 was from the same St. Nicholas Monastery where he was ultimately killed. I know the monastery, in June 2022, I went there with other Russian journalists. Ukrainian forces started shelling, apparently having spotted the van we arrived in. We sheltered, along with civilians living nearby, in the basement stairwell until the shelling subsided.

Nikita’s July 2023 report, showed people taking cover in the same stairwell from the Ukrainian shelling. Then, he and those he accompanied courageously went to the home of elderly nearby, to evacuate them. Even if you don’t understand Russian, watching his report you can see his focus is on the suffering of civilians..."
ingaza.wordpress.com/2024/07/03/ukr…
Portuguese journalist @bcarloscarvalho, who has reported extensively from the Donbass, knew Nikita. He told me:

“Ukrainian propaganda said he was a Russian propagandist. This is not true. He told me he came to Donbass to see with his own eyes what was happening. He came to find the truth, and to show the truth as journalist. Ukraine committed a war crime killing him and other journalists as well. They bombed hotels full of journalists.”

Hunting journalists

Bombing hotel housing journalists is definitely one of Ukraine’s tactics. In June, 2022, using 155 mm caliber NATO standard shells, Ukrainian forces targeted directly next to the central Donetsk hotel numerous journalists were in, including myself. As I wrote at the time, it was plausible that Ukraine deliberately targeted a hotel known to house journalists.

However, there were certainly many other very clear instances of Ukraine deliberately targeted journalists in hotels they were known to be staying in, most notably that of the Kherson hotel RT war correspondent Murad Gazdiev and his crew were in when in September 2022 Ukrainian armed forces hit it with an American HIMARS missile.

Miraculously, the crew emerged from the rubble relatively unscathed. But one civilian (the hotel was full of civilians), ex-Ukrainian Rada deputy Zhuravko, was killed, along with his guard.

Throughout the second half of 2022, there were many reports of Ukrainian targeting the three main hotels in Donetsk known to house journalists.

Likewise, there are many clear examples of journalists coming under fire while reporting who thankfully were not killed. Too many to list here, I’ll note just a fraction of these instances.

In December 2022, RT correspondent Maxim Toury and his colleagues were targeted by Ukrainian shelling. He wrote of the incident:

“They filmed the work of our units. We were traveling in a civilian car, but, apparently, this did not prevent the Armed Forces of Ukraine from opening fire on the exact place where we were. There were at least 15 arrivals. Thank God, our team was not injured, but, unfortunately, there are injured among the escorts who were with us.”

In August 2022, Izvestiya journalists filming a report near Ugledar, were deliberately targeted.

“Ukrainian armed forces observed the journalists from a drone and then began bombing. Two hours later, a video from the same drone appeared on the Ukrainian segment of TikTok. ‘Here are the correspondents. There are guys in civilian clothes,’ says the Ukrainian drone operator.”

Long time French-Russian war correspondent Christelle Néant and colleague Laurent Brayard came under intensive Ukrainian shelling while covering earlier shelling in a district of Petrovsky, western Donetsk in June 2022. Her car was destroyed.
Ukraine’s assassinations of Russian journalists

Of the at least 30 Russian journalists killed, the following are some of those recently murdered:

In November 2023, in the Zaporozhye region, Ukrainian forces targeted a group of Russian journalists with a drone. One of the journalists, Boris Maksudov, died as a result of his injuries.

In July 2023, Ukrainian shelling of a civilian vehicle killed RIA Novosti war correspondent Rostislav Zhuravlev, and injured four of his colleagues. The shelling was with US cluster munitions.
