Here, a @UKLabour MP praises a notorious conspiracist who says meeting Bashar al-#Assad was her "proudest" moment.
She's justified incendiary weapons & barrel bombs on civilian targets; suggested 9/11 was a false flag; Zionists rule #France & the #CharlieHebdo attack was fake.

@UKLabour Extraordinary.
@UU_University invited notorious conspiracist Vanessa Beeley to lecture on “War Reporting.”
Her claims were so outlandish, the students walked out & boycotted the course, calling it “a propaganda camp.”

@UKLabour @UU_University #pt: Among Beeley’s claims at @UU_University:
- @hrw is run by a secret “Jewish organization called the #Washington elite.”
- #Russia only promotes international peace
- #Syria’s opposition "tear pregnant women in half, betw'n cats”
- All media (e.g. @guardian) are govt tools
- @hrw is run by a secret “Jewish organization called the #Washington elite.”

He’s traded with #ISIS; acquired land expropriated from displaced civilians; and become super rich out of #Syria’s conflict & destruction.
- Meet #Assad’s latest moneyman & likely route around international sanctions - Samer Foz.

Fascinating, in-depth reporting by @AP on the #Saudi-#UAE coalition’s complex dealing with #AQAP in #Yemen.
- Key thought: this is the challenge #AQAP (& Nusra/#HTS in #Syria) poses, by embedding into & reflecting broader local dynamics.

@AP #pt: Just like #HTS in #Syria, #AQAP in #Yemen is not a wholly contiguous organization of committed global jihadis - it's strengthened itself by embracing local drivers & structures.
=> That provides opportunities for counter-actors, but they require [some] engagement to do so.

@AP #pts: Another parallel to #Syria is seen in how the extent of localism embraced by #AQAP may in fact have weakened its long-term durability; by leaving large swathes of fighters vulnerable to cooptation by adversaries/rivals.

Robert Fisk’s latest “EXCLUSIVE” reveals just how little he knows about #Syria's opposition, its foreign relations & support networks.
Gloss over inaccuracies & he’s “revealed” what we've known for yrs - #Saudi backed the multilateral MOC, arming #FSA.

#Iran-backed #Houthi attacks on x2 @Saudi_Aramco oil tankers in the Bab el-Mendeb is a really big deal.
All Aramco oil shipments have been temporarily suspended

@Saudi_Aramco Notably, yesterday’s #Houthi attacks on oil tankers come a week after the #Houthis claimed to have attacked a @Saudi_Aramco oil refinery in #Riyadh with a drone.

@Saudi_Aramco #pts: #Iran makes no secret of its threats to attack #Saudi oil & shipping, just as it's repeatedly threatened to attack US assets in the region, as Qassem Someimani did earlier:
- “We're ready to confront you; You'll start the war but we'll end it."

It’s extraordinary just how much BS gets created in people’s minds.
I never once expressed “support” for #Turkey’s #Afrin operation.
- Did I say it was inevitable? Yes.
- Did I observe it & comment on its advance vis-a-vis broader #Syria dynamics (i.e. my job)? Yes.
