From our latest episode:
"People on the right are changing. I mean, the right of the church, the conservative part. And it's not something I can say we need to celebrate because it took maybe 100,000 martyrs for that to happen."

Jillian Green, the Daily Maverick editor, informed me this morning that they will not publish the reflection piece I wrote on Gaza. First time DM has ever spiked a piece I submitted to them. I published the piece on my Blog instead: constitutionallyspeaking.co.…

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, while receiving an honorary degree from the University of Manchester, gave a speech about #Gaza:

Israel just committed *the largest child massacre in its history*, according to Haaretz. Two hundred Palestinian children murdered in a single day, with direct support from the US and UK, and zero outrage from Western media. What stage of barbarism is this...

The Rojava Revolution has endured because we have something no one else in the world has: our women lead the fight, lead the struggle, lead the path towards hope and humanity. It is they who led the fight against ISIS and it is still they who continue to lead the fight against Turkish backed jihadists of SNA and anyone else who threatens the integrity of their values, the sacred blood of their martyrs and their freedom!

Let it be clear that there is no freedom for the Kurds so long as Abdullah Ocalan remains imprisoned. Ocalan represents the hope and will of millions of Kurds. His imprisonment is the symbolic imprisonment of Kurdistan. There is no freedom for us unless Apo is free!

Hearing about the difficulty of today from people who fled #Baalbek. Many had no time to pack anything, even their meds, left with the clothes on their back. Civil defence cars went around with megaphones, mosques blared “Evacuate! Evacuate!” through loudspeakers. People fired into the air, desperate to alert others to the urgency. Streets were chaos as everyone scrambled to find a way out. #Lebanon

Ali Çeven, a Kurd, was asked in a street interview about Bahçeli's suggestion Öcalan should speak in parliament. He gave a great lecture (video in article) and said "I'm not a Turk!", and was then detained and beaten by cops: 'propaganda for terrorism'. artigercek.com/guncel/ben-tu…

History will damn a US political elite which facilitated some of the worst atrocities committed in the 21st century.

GNU must consider creating a position of Prime Minister, and make the role head of government in charge of the Executive, scrapping the position of Deputy President. The position of President could then become more unifying, above petty party politics.
