They brought a whole panel of Zi@nists trying to talk over him and he held his own so beautifully. Free Falasteen and Sudan as he put it!
Went on BBC Politics Live to discuss why Zionism is a racist ideology. The anchor and all three panelists looked like they were about to cry at the end. Very weird behaviour. Join the Green Party.

They’re trying to stage a major US military presence in Haiti under the pretense of these missing mercenaries (“soldiers”) from El Salvador; after it was just revealed that US ambassador to Haiti have different security handlers he wants to enrich that aren’t Erik Prince btw 😐
To the gang bosses terrorizing Haiti, your days of operating with impunity are numbered. The Gang Suppression Force is coming for you.

استدعت نيابة أمن الدولة، اليوم، رئيسة تحرير «مدى مصر»، لينا عطا الله، للتحقيق، الأربعاء المقبل 21 أكتوبر، في قضية برقم 9072 لسنة 2026 حصر أمن دولة عليا، بحسب الاستدعاء الذي لم يتضمن توضيحًا لسبب التحقيق. القضية الجديدة هي السادسة بحق «مدى مصر» وصحفييه ورئيسة تحريره خلال ست سنوات، والتي كان آخرها في أغسطس 2025، حين أخلت «أمن الدولة» سبيل عطا الله بكفالة 30 ألف جنيه، على ذمة القضية 6182 لسنة 2025 حصر أمن دولة، بعدما وجهت لها وقتها تهمتي «إذاعة أخبار كاذبة واستخدام موقع بدون ترخيص»، بناءً على محضر تحريات «الأمن الوطني»، على خلفية تقرير صحفي عن شكاوى سجناء من تعرضهم لانتهاكات، وبينما سألتها النيابة وقتها عن أسباب الثقة في المصادر المذكورة في التقرير، أكدت عطا الله مراعاتها قواعد مهنة الصحافة، واستهدافها المصلحة العامة، والحق في إبلاغ السلطات من خلال النشر خصوصًا مع عرض الموقع للآراء كافة. storage.googleapis.com/madam…

We've been saying that when the world is silent, the crackdown on press freedom will intensify. Here we are. Egyptian journalist and @MadaMasr's @linaattalah called in for questioning before the Supreme State Security Prosecution. This is the 6th case against Mada in 6 years.

The chapter traces energy extraction in the Sudanese context throughout its modern history, from the extraction of energy from enslaved bodies under the Turko-Egyptian occupiers all the way to Al-Bashir’s hydropower projects.

I wrote this piece long before this war broke out arguing that Emirati land grabs in Sudan are about much more than food security but rather a strategy of empire-making and sub-imperial ambition in the region. It is based on research in the Gezira from 2013-2018 #KeepEyesOnSudan

Even if the massacres had occurred on Egyptian territory it was still an Egyptian massacre of Sudanese miners, but here is the evidence that Egypt massacred them on Sudanese territory.
Satellite imagery reviewed by Ayin shows two locations linked to Egypt’s 10 Oct air strikes on Sudanese gold miners: 📍 22.07834, 34.90689 📍 24.84248, 34.57923 The bombs used were Egyptian-made Naser unguided munitions. Once released, nothing steers them. Ayin’s investigation found two Egyptian military checkpoints inside Sudanese territory: 📍 21.996°N, 36.876°E 📍 21.997°N, 36.708°E Both lie just south of the 22nd parallel, the line Egypt itself claims as the border. Imagery indicates they have been there since the war began. Read our Report: 3ayin.com/en/egypt-4-/

Shame on you for talking about the massacre of Sudanese miners by Egyptian forces (IN Sudanese territory) as understandable and justified. The people killed have families, children, many were the sole breadwinners in families that have suffered immensely in this war.
Now that we know the attack happened on Egyptian soil, defending Egypt’s land and resources was not a crime. The report leaves the attack’s lethality disputed, but Egypt had issued a clear warning—and its history of casualties makes its response understandable and justified.

They are both defined as massacres, hope that helps.

Last time I checked taking out (after multiple warnings) armed groups that illegally enter your territory to steal your resources and who smuggle weapons & drugs into your country is upholding the law... not "massacring" Massacring is what the RSF is doing to Sudanese in Sudan.

When Canadian FM Anand arrives in the UAE this week it will be her fifth trip to the region in 2026 which would (by my count) make it the most visits ever by a Canadian cabinet minister to the Gulf in a single year canada.ca/en/global-affairs/…

It also has one in settler colonial Canada. GeoSpectrum Technologies @GeoSpectrumTech. 100% Elbit-owned. Promoted by @InvestNS_ and @ACOACanada. NATO 5% GDP and a dual-use counterrevolutionary genocide economy. An affront to everyone that implicates everyone.

This is one of many tangible connections between the UAE-Isr@el-US and the multiple gen@cides they are committing, funding and profiting from.
