0·7 days agoWhat 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.
31·1 month agoThe LFI candidate made any alliance impossible.
Chikirou spent her entire campaign attacking Hidalgo and Grégoire.
She even made campaign ads with pictures of Grégoire and Anne Hidalgo, blaming them for kids drowning and sexual assault cases in schools
“1 child drown. 52 children sexually abused. Their legacy”
Because Al Akhbar literally is.
