About democracy and Western values
France gathered 400 Muslim scholars and decapitated them with machetes; during the occupation of Chad in 1917.
When France entered the Algerian city of Laghouat in 1852, it killed two-thirds of its population and burned them alive in a single night.
Between 1960 and 1966, France conducted 17 nuclear tests in Algeria, resulting in an unspecified number of casualties, between 27,000 and 100,000. The effects persist to this day.
When France left Algeria in 1962, they had left more mines than the entire Algerian population of that time: 11 million mines.
France occupied Algeria for 132 years. The French exterminated one million Muslims in the first 7 years after their arrival and 1.5 million in the last 7 years before their departure.
French historian Jacques Gorky estimated that the total number of people killed by France in Algeria, from its arrival in 1830 to its departure in 1962, was 10 million Muslims. That is French historian not Arab.
France occupied Tunisia for 75 years, Algeria 132 years, Morocco 44 years and Mauritania 60 years.
When France entered Egypt during its famous campaign, French soldiers entered mosques on horseback and raped women in front of their families. They drank alcohol in the mosques and turned part into stables for their horses.
Finally, today claim Islam is a religion of terrorism. So it's western colonial imperialism who in 450 years killed befwen 500 millions and 1 billion of people.
Strange to see some people boasting about Western civilization and even defending it, forgetting all of its dark history.
This is France, remind them of their history.

BAE's share price jumps as Keir Starmer announces he'll increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP by 2027.
Military-industrial complex guides policy, not "national security". They fund "think tanks" to push militarism.
Meanwhile, the two-child benefit cap is still in place.

What the government can’t afford:
❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance
What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.
Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

The Guardian illustrate this typically braindead comment piece with a pic of Starmer at RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus, the international hub to support the Gaza genocide.
This is what "defence" budget is. It's a budget for imperial wars - and transfer of public funds to arms industry.

The incident in Nilgiri, Balasore district, Odisha, where tribal Christian women were tied to a tree and their faces disfigured, is highly condemnable and shameful. This area is considered a stronghold of BJP MP Pratap Sarangi. The inhumane act allegedly committed by members of certain Hindu organizations has raised serious concerns about the safety and rights of tribal minorities. This incident is a direct attack on the principles of our Constitution and human rights. We demand strict action against the perpetrators and urge that the safety of minorities be ensured.

Terrified screams and panic from yet another massacre in Gaza is followed up by a second Israeli bomb that leads to burning corpses and a deadly silence. No one survived.
While the world looks away, the most documented genocide in history continues.

A little boy in Gaza crying ‘my mother’ over and over again while being comforted by another little boy. This world is so cruel and hateful. I despise everyone ‘debating’ genocide and the 76 years of occupation, apartheid and ethnic cleansing.

🔥 Watching the ICJ's historic climate case, the biggest in its 80-year history — almost 100 countries will testify to establish “the obligations of States." Incredible to remember that this began 5 years ago with the Pacific Islands students movement pledging to take ‘the world’s biggest problem to the world’s highest court’. 👇

Yes, Indians - specifically oppressed, exploited & marginalised Indians - have long been guinea pigs in #BillGates 'laboratory' as he says explicitly here. BMGF's shameless awards & plaudits to Modi & Yogi make sure they'll retain access to the laboratory! hindustantimes.com/trending/…

During their brutal assault on Vietnam, the U.S. military dumped 76 million litres of toxic chemicals across Vietnam, destroying the environment and lives alike
The US killed over two million civilians in Vietnam
No US Politician or General faced justice for these crimes

We are about to see 150 million Americans vote for the most publicly documented genocide in history. The horrors of US Imperialism will continue either way, but there will be more people complicit in genocide than ever before.
Solidarity with those taking a stand, now and always

🇮🇱Israel has been quietly financing UK parliamentary staff, Declassified has found.
This comes after we revealed that one in four British MPs had accepted funding from the Israel lobby.

Israel has been exterminating Palestinians for a whole year
And the world chose to support and arm that extermination
Revolutionary Reparations retweeted
There’s no way on earth this would’ve been allowed to continue for just one day, let alone a whole year, if these children were Israeli, American or European.
But Palestinians are not deserving of life, let alone freedom.

'The amount of money borrowed to end slavery was so large that it wasn't paid off til 2015... so there is precedent for paying reparations - it's just been paid to wrong people'

“I think Keir Starmer is making a mistake by refusing to engage with this”
Danny Sriskandarajah says it would be better if the Prime Minister took responsibility for the UK’s colonial past, and had an “honest” conversation with the Commonwealth about reparations

Reparations, if we are to define it as an end to racial capitalism and the western imperialism intrinsic to it, an end to the global political economy and world order soaked in our ancestors blood, we are here for building a mass movement for it. Truth, healing and system change.
