So, "Tommy Robinson" (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has called for his followers to join a march against antisemitism, to a resoundingly negative response from the organisers and the mainstream Jewish community. Quick thread on him and his supporters... Image "Tommy Robinson" (real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) joined the fascist British National Party (BNP) in 2004 age 20, stayed for a year. In this pic he's with Holocaust denier Richard Edmonds (convicted of racist violence in the 1990s). But was this just some youthful thing? Image

I only just realised this “#OctoberDeclaration” against antisemitism comes from Allison Pearson and Laura Dodsworth. IMHO those two are racists conspiracy-mongers nobody should go near. Some examples: 1/ Laura Dodsworth’s book _State of Fear_ (endorsed by the likes of GBNews presenter Neil Oliver) draws heavily on the discredited work of 911 truther and full-time atrocity denialist Piers Robinson.

Inspiring general strike in Al-Suwayda, Syria, including by shopkeepers and public sector workers. Slogans call for dignity and reject the house of Assad. In an effort to contain protest, yesterday Syria’s dictator Assad doubled state salaries (they’re now just 8% of an average family’s cost of living). Seven minutes later he raised the price of diesel by 300% and gasoline by 170%.

#NAFO fellas have flooded the replies to this to say it’s fake news. Thing is, it’s not exactly *fake*; it’s heavily *embroidered*. Specifically (1) “embedded with Azov” seems to be Alex’s invention. In fact the guy was “in contact with” Above. (2) Alex zooms to trivial 🇺🇦 links but misses links to Assad (the European Solidarity Front for Syria shares the same chemical weapons conspiracy theories as Grayzone) or or the way it promotes some of the same anti-vaxx messages shared by Grayzone editor, Max Blumenthal

Re-upping this as some British leftists on my timeline are sharing Grayzone this week. On the eve of war, Grayzone hosted the Russian ambassador to the UN scoffing at the silly idea that Russia was about to invade Ukraine. Definitely not a Russian state propaganda site.

I’ve been holding off on this thread until after the elections.

Now it’s clear Starmer’s Labour didn’t do as badly as the Tories & JC-loyalists hoped, but it didn’t do as well as the current leadership’s loyalists were hoping… …Crucially Labour advanced in southern marginals it needs to win to form a government, and gained ground in some key “red wall” areas such as Dudley…

This has been a traumatic time for my Syrian friends. The world’s been focused on Ukraine but here’s two Syria stories you need to know about if you don’t.🧵

1/ Thanks to the extraordinary work of Annsar Shahhoud & @ugur_umit_ungor, the Tadamon massacre has been exposed: [CW: violence]

The massacre in 2013 involved the shooting of 100s of opponents of Assad’s regime, their bodies piled in a massive pit, filmed by the perpetrators.

It closely resembles the shootings carried out by Heydrich’s Einsatzgruppen in the early phase of the Holocaust…

So @paulmasonnews has been talking about Socialist Action as an example of pro-Putin politics on the British left. The blue tick left have been responding saying that what he’s attacking has no meaningful existence off the Internet…

2/ I think Socialist Action (whose guru John Ross was one of Ken Livingstone’s advisors) are, despite their tiny size, particularly pernicious due to the organisational power they have in many of the UK’s (trade union bankrolled) key left organisations.

A new entry for the #ToryAntisemitism file: Conservative Party parliamentary staffer grabbed a Jewish journalist’s head to check if he has a Jewish nose…

thejc.com/news/news/tory… Noticed I haven't updated the #ToryAntisemitism file in 2022. Some more entries, in light of Liz Truss's bad faith weaponisation of antisemitism, which she blames on the "woke".

This ruling about the BBC’s brilliant Mayday series, prompted by a complaint by the Mail’s Peter H1tchens, has been receiving a lot of attention in the far right/conspiracist scene and Russian media. A short thread on why it’s actually a nothingburger…
bbc.co.uk/contact/ecu/ma… ImageImageImage First, some background:
In April 2018, a rebel-held suburb of Damascus, Douma, was brutally bombed from the air by the government. Two chemical weapon incidents were reported. Dozens died. The next day the rebels surrendered.

Got an insight into the tankie mind today as a result of replying critically to the DSA’s International Committee @DSA_Intl_Comm, which seems to think internationalism means unconditionally supporting authoritarian governments. ImageImageImageImage I mean I think internationalism means unconditionally supporting the global working class in struggle, and if you spend 60 years “building socialism” you’d at least find the time to allow trade unions to exist, but I guess not.

A thread on this week’s presidential “election” in Syria: The Syrian government says 14 million people voted, 95% for Assad. The population is 18 m but 40% are under 18. 3-4 m live in opposition areas, 2 m in autonomous Kurdish lands, neither of which voted...

Report by the UN's chemical weapon watchdog, the @OPCW, came out this week, on one of the Syrian civil war's many, many lesser-known chemical attacks: in Saraqeb in 2018.

In this thread, I'll collect some of the threads about it which are useful... 1/ Here's @bellingcat's @N_Waters89 who has done important open source investigations on war crimes by Syrian regime, US & other states.
