The External Affairs Minister @DrSJaishankar on Tuesday reaffirmed defence and trade cooperation with #Russia and said that many #Western countries used to supply arms to #Pakistan and not India, adding that the trend has changed in the past decade. (2/6) "In terms of inventory, yes, because many #Western countries have long preferred to supply #Pakistan and not #India. But that has changed in the past ten or fifteen years with the #USA, for example, and our new purchases have diversified with the USA, #Russia, #France and #Israel as the main suppliers," he said.

(1/21) #India now aligns as a staunch supporter of #Israel, extending beyond short-term military & political ties into mainstream sentiment. The Indian position was once staunchly pro-#Palestinian. A sharp contrast with today. Let's explore India's post/colonial perspective

(2/21)The transition to the post-colonial era saw #India as a staunch supporter of #Palestine. India was acutely sensitive to the issue of partition & as a fellow British colony, Indian independence movement leaders were against the establishment of a #Jewish state

We have entered an era which will be defined by #polarisation, #tribalism, and social fragmentation. Those who were historically quiet, will now speak.

(1/12) Kwame Ture speaks on #Zionism using Lenin's framework of #Imperialism & #Capitalism

"Mr Lenin had precisely pointed out that all of the world had already been conquered and divided by #colonial powers. There was nowhere else in the world left to be conquered and divided" (2/12)"This is the time when #Zionism comes to rise.

(1/11)#AnalysisAlert ***Subversion Media***
Traditional media has been hijacked and has lost public trust. Advances in usergenerated content and the fragmentation of media offered by the internet has accelerated this process. Let us explore the dangers of this new media landscape



(2/11)Though social media has provided suppressed voices with a platform & has accelerated information sharing exponentially–this evolution has its own unique #threats. We have been experiencing the impact of these threats more acutely the past few years & especially the 5 weeks

(1/4) #Resistance is a natural response to #invasion and #occupation. This is no hiding from this root cause. Everything else stems from this core reality. #Violence does not exist in a vacuum.

(Image Source IG: turnlefist) (2/4) We condemn any loss of innocent life at any time. We also recognise than when the #occupation kills #native #civilians they do so by dehumanising the other as “animals” or “barbarians” or “uncivilised” as we have seen through out the history of conquest
