0·12 days agoSyria was the only ally of Iran and Russia in the region. They have literally no other ally.
The overwhelming majority of Syrians despise the Assad family. I have yet to meet a single Syrian who likes him or respects him. When people protested against Assad, he started kill. Protests turned into an armed uprising. Bachar El Assad was in real trouble, so he called his allies for help. Iran and Russia.
The Iranian fought for him. They sent shia militias to fight for him. Putin bombed entires cities.
500,000 people were killed. 10 million Syrian fled the country. But the Syrian people didn’t give up. At the end of the day, they still won.
Now, Bachar El Assad and his cronies live in exile in Moscow. They stole billions of dollars that they can use to destabilize the country. And the Iranian are enraged. They lost their only ally. Their attitude is now "If we can’t have it, we can break it"
Because Al Akhbar literally is.
What part of “this is a war crime” don’t you understand ?
I will not apologize for my comment. She was a civilian, but certainly no journalist.
When the scale of atrocities had become so extreme that teenagers were mass-raped, Al Akhbar was full of Assad apologists claiming he is a great man who respects human rights.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal. He should be arrested and sentenced to jail.
Nothing, NOTHING justifies targeting a civilian.
However, I would not use the word journalist. Al Akhbar is basically Hezbollah’s official mouthpiece. They praised Iranian security forces for their bloody crack down on students. They denied the human rights abuses of Bachar El Assad, calling them fake news. In 2008, the Government tried to dismantle Hezbollah’s communication network. This paper congratulated Hezbollah for violently attacking the police.
If Ukraine bombed Russia Today, I would call this a disgusting war crime. But I would not call RT journalism.
This woman is a tankie nutbag who happens to be a pro-palestinian activist.
She voted against every EU resolution condemning Russia’s war on Ukraine.
When the French writer Boualem Sansal was jailed on bullshit charges in Algeria, that case was denounced by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. The European Parliament called for his immediate release. She was one of the only MEPs to vote against his release.
0·2 months agoThe kind of people who vote for her don’t do that kind of deep research.
On the 3th of october 2023, the newspaper Le Monde published a very well-writen investigation about her. Because she is the girlfriend of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, her party boss, she doesn’t hesitate to humiliate people:
Three days later, on the 6th of october, Jean-Luc Mélenchon was visiting Morocco. Believing he was far from french journalists, he made this confession to Moroccan students:
I don’t care about what’s in the press. Luckily, voters don’t read the press, they watch our videos. We are in the amazing age of social media
Chikirou is not left. She is a tankie nutjob.
She is know for screaming on her assistants
In parliament, she voted against aid to Ukraine, arguing “This would be bad for peace”
She said China isn’t actually a dictatorship
She paid tribute to the leader of Hamas
She compared socialists to insects that must be crushed
Last but not the least, she is criminally indicted for financial fraud:
This is a woman so toxic that no one wants to associate with her.
When she joined the race, in her first interview, she said her main goal is to make sure the socialist loses:
Oui, toute personne qui a le malheur de ne pas être en accord avec toi est un bot.
You think someone is on the left because (checks notes…) says something about Hamas and/or China?
The left doesn’t praise the leader of Hamas, China, or Venezuela
The left doesn’t have MPs paying tributes to Leon Trotsky
The most powerful woman at LFI paid tribute to the leader of Hamas :
She also said : “I really don’t believe China is a dictatorship”

That’s pretty much the far-left dude.
Actual far left parties are NPA or LO in France.
Several LFI MPs come from the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA).
The NPA signed an alliance with LFI in the recent local elections.
The leader of the NPA recently said “We will likely run no candidates in the next elections. We will just endorse LFI”
It if looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, then what is it? A duck.
Most polisaring figure on the French left.
There are two kind of people in France. Those who really like him. And then those who don’t. Those who like him really appreciate him. Those who dislike him really hate him. No one is left indifferent.
