'Rise like tigers after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you –
Ye are many – they are few'

A lot of angry 'pro-Palestine' people hating on Owen Jones . Is it because Owen opposes Bashar Al Assad's genocide in Syria? If so, then you were 'pro-Palestine' because it's politically convenient. If tomorrow, Assad killed Palestinians (WHICH HE DID) you'd cheer him on.
'Former #detainees like MAK are afflicted by a “certain speechlessness,” as the authors put it – the violence they endured [in #Assad's prisons] was “literally unspeakable and they remain at a loss of words.' Jaber Baker Uğur Ümit Üngör Lara Sabra aljumhuriya.net/en/2024/09/06/…
'While we frequently understand #torture as a barbaric and violent mechanism to obtain information, Jaber Baker and Uğur Ümit Üngör instead stipulate that torture is meant to impose information.' Lara Sabra #Assad #Syria #SyrianGulag aljumhuriya.net/en/2024/09/06/…
'The #detainee’s anonymity enables the warden (...) to see them as less-than-human & proceed in their merciless & mindless #torture, perhaps convincing themselves that the detainee deserves it.' Jaber Baker Uğur Ümit Üngör Lara Sabra #Assad #Syria aljumhuriya.net/en/2024/09/06/…
'Despite the nightmarish conditions [in #Assad's prisons], #detainees would organize cultural activities such as storytelling sessions, singing, poetry matches, foreign language lessons, and acting plays.' Jaber Baker Uğur Ümit Üngör Lara Sabra aljumhuriya.net/en/2024/09/06/…
