Some Tweets from Sarah Abdallah


  • Russia warns that terrorists are poised to stage a chemical weapons attack in Syria’s Idlib and frame Damascus to provide a pretext for US-NATO strikes. Remember this the next time mainstream media accuses the Syrian gov’t of unleashing chemical weapons.

    Those media tributes for John McCain: the last time I saw such tributes was when the media uniformly praised George W. Bush for invading two countries in the wake of Sep. 11.
  • As if blowing up a school bus and killing 40 kids in Yemen’s Saada wasn’t enough, Saudi Arabia carries out another massacre in Yemen’s Hodeidah, murdering 22 kids & 4 women. Where’s the international demand to halt all arms sales to this barbaric regime?

    The woman who said it was “worth it” to sanction 500,000 babies to death in Iraq wants to lecture us about fighting for “human rights and democratic values around the world”.
  • And by tan suit, you mean enabling Saudi Arabia’s destruction and starvation of Yemen, bombing Libya back to the stone age and handing it over to slave-selling jihadists, orchestrating a CIA-backed coup in Ukraine and giving billions in weapons to terrorists in Syria... Right?

    To all the people who consider themselves progressives and defend corporate censorship, please go f**k yourselves with a copy of Manufacturing Consent.

    They have beheaded more than ISIS this year. “Most executions in Saudi Arabia are by beheading, a method used to kill 48 people over a four-month period this year.”
  • In yet another massacre today, Saudi Arabia’s warplanes killed 22 children and 4 women in Yemen’s Hodeidah. Don’t expect any outrage from the so-called “humanitarian champions” who were so “concerned” about women and children in Syria though.
  • The company of British Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband is making money off the laser-guided bombs from Lockheed Martin that Saudi Arabia routinely uses to kill children in Yemen. Corruption and war-profiteering much?
  • Remember how the US, the UK and France bombed Syria last April over false claims of a chemical attack in Douma? Looks like John Bolton would like to see a similar scenario unfold just as the battle to free Idlib, the last Syrian city still under Al-Qaeda occupation, approaches.
  • This is how Saudi Arabia, which somehow still sits on the UN Women’s Rights Commission, empowers its female citizens who are merely asking for equal rights.

    “Saudi Arabia is calling for the beheading of female human rights defender Israa Al-Ghomgham because she participated in peaceful protests,” one commentator said.
  • From a nation with free education, free health care and a secular government to a chaotic, war-torn failed state now ruled by slave-selling, head-chopping jihadist fanatics, with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing their homes. Thank you Cameron, Obama and Sarkozy.

    Even by the debased standards of Whitehall there must be a conflict of interest involved in the British prime minister selling - and firing - weapons from which her husband is making real-time profits. Surely?

  • British PM Theresa May still has not condemned Saudi Arabia’s killing of 40 children on a school bus in Yemen. Perhaps it has a little something to do with her husband’s company having shares in the very firm that produced the bomb used in the massacre.

    I'll happily take fake news and bots flooding platforms like Facebook over arbitrarily applied political censorship decided by massive tech corporations working hand-in-glove with governments. Any day.

    Pay attention pls. Al Qaeda is holed up in , the final major terrorist holdout in . When the Syrian army & its allies attack, western media won't mention Al Qaeda; they will instead yell about 'civilians' being massacred. That's the Syrian conflict in a nutshell.

    Ideas are more powerful than governments. They're more powerful than armies. They're more powerful than dictators. They're more powerful than censors. Ideas rule the world. Embrace the ideas of Liberty!
  • Syria’s First Lady, who is battling breast cancer herself, visited a cancer hospital in Damascus today and met with Syrian children to support them in their fight against their illness. This won’t be shown in the mainstream media which constantly dehumanizes Syria & its people.
     
  • That awkward moment when a US weapons manufacturing giant tries to be all cute and trendy on social media only to be reminded of the death, destruction and carnage its products have wreaked on the starving children of Yemen.
  • Saudi Arabia, which beheads more people than ISIS, is now calling for the beheading of peaceful, female human rights activist Israa Al-Ghomgham. And yet the media narrative about Muhammad Bin Salman being such a “great reformer” still somehow persists.
