On behalf of @renanetjes.bsky.social she no longer has access to BlueSky and asked me to post this: I have had information about Austin Tice for over a year and a half that I was not allowed to publish. Now I can. This coming Tuesday, the Dutch radio program bbvpro will air the story. Stay tuned!

New video up! In this episode, I speak with Nahla Sarraj, a psychiatry resident and humanitarian who works with SEMA and UOSSM about her return to Syria after 17 years. We unpack what’s changed, what hasn’t, and the emotional toll of coming home. (Link below)

If there is one frustration that people everywhere tell me, it is that the moderate voices among the Kurds, among the Muwahidin Druze and among the Alawites are not being heard (in the West).

The Bibas boys, like many innocent Palestinian children as well, paid for sins they did not commit or have any control over. Anyone with a conscious should be holding space in their heart for these angels, just as they should for the thousands of innocent Palestinian babies brutally murdered.

"All those who lament Bashar al-Assad’s fall and gloat over the Israeli bombardment of Syria should do well to reflect on why Israel is attacking now. Clearly a cohesive, democratic Syria would be a much stronger proponent of Palestinian liberation than the Assadist tyranny ever was."

When it comes to news on Syria, it's wise to treat initial claims as rumors and wait for verification. Check @EekadFacts and @VeSyria to see if they have reported on it. The longer you wait the more accurate the report likely will be. The worst thing is to jump to conclusions.

I recommend listening to those free Syrians commenting on Ukraine. This is how the ingredients of an organically grown alliance look like. Russian aggression has truly unified those two peoples.

Democracy takes practice. Those without blood on their hands should be welcome, to—even encouraged to criticize. We should use our newfound freedom to practice public dialogue and dissent in order to advocate for transparency and accountability, even if progress on reforms is slow.

It's not too soon to criticize Jolani (Ahmad Sharaa) or how the transition is being handled. We need to remain disciplined, but we also need a free and safe space for protest and criticism. A (healthy) opposition keeps democracy in check. Even the bad-faith actors should be protected.

What's "jarring" is to see defenders of Palestinian first responders slaughtered with U.S.-supplied bombs turn around and smear Syrian first responders as terrorists—using the same bad-faith tactics they denounce when aimed at Palestine.

Even if red & white Santa was intentionally dropped this year, it's not unprecedented. After the fall of the Nazis, there was a temporary shift in the use of red, black, & white during Christmas in Germany. Christmas celebrations in Syria, following the fall of the Assad regime:

Syrians overthrowing Assad and uncovering prisoners from Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan in his dungeons shows how our freedom is truly intertwined. Nobody is free until Palestinians are free from Zionism, and until every tyranny falls. Rest in internal peace Mazen & all martyrs you deserved better.

Update: I was wrong. Jolani is maintaining the same ceasefire deal as Hafez. A blow to Israeli-Occupied Syrians in Golan whose hopes were to be united under the new Free Syrian government. I pray we can find a path to liberating Syria from all foreign occupation and oppression including sanctions.

The UAE is asking the US to not recognise the new Syrian government. These gangsters are discomforted by the prospect of Arabs achieving democracy. That's why they supported Assad, and why they support Israel and the RSF in Sudan. They much prefer genocide to freedom.

It's their responsibility to protect Druze from rebels by annexing southern Syria but not their responsibility to protect innocent people from a genocide by Bashar let alone the one they're perpetrating against Palestinians? Israeli policy has no morals just sow chaos and division

Israel watched as Assad slaughtered Syrians. The moment his weapons could threaten them, they're destroyed. Now they're lying that Druze support Israeli annexation of S. Syria and are raising their colonial flag over more Syrian land. Shameless land grab taking advantage of our condition.

I hope the people of Golan resist and are reinforced by rebels. Israel should know we are not Assad. We won't sit idly by and let you take land and water while bombing our cities with impunity. Go ahead and bomb the military infrastructure before we get our hands on them, we will develop more.
