#Syrian government

[indizombie]

The Syrian government's key allies in the civil war - Russia, Iran and the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah - have committed aid to government-controlled areas of Syria. Aid donated by a number of other countries, including China, Sudan, Algeria, Iraq and the United Arab Emirates, has also arrived, according to Syrian state media. The BBC saw Russian aid delivered via lorries to a hub at a church in Aleppo. And Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported that a sixth shipment of Iranian aid had arrived. Neighbouring Lebanon meanwhile confirmed that it would open its ports and airports for countries wanting to send aid to Syria. In contrast, opposition-held areas of north-west Syria have only seen a trickle of aid delivered by the UN via Turkey. Mr Mekdad said the Syrian government was committed to "delivering humanitarian aid to all those in need, in all areas, without any discrimination". But groups in the opposition enclave are not currently accepting aid from the government, fearing a propaganda victory for Damascus.

One thing I will never not find hilarious is western progressives go from "Xenophobia is bad" to "I can't interact/be friends with people from X country"

Fuck you and your xenophobia.

And yes, your xenophobia is rooted in your racism.

Various stuff I've seen lately just makes me feel like saying this once again in plain terms

I stand with Ukraine and I stand with Iranians. I stand with anyone fighting for their freedom

Also we shouldn’t be relying on celebrities to be bringing awareness to a situation that’s all over the news with the correct information. Asking a celebrity to help isn’t useful and sadly the donation things they post won’t benefit the people because it goes straight to the governments and you can never trust a government

yeh no this. that’s why i’m always so wary about sharing links bc i’d rather do my research and not spread links where the money doesn’t go to the right places and take my time to find reliable charities where ik the money i’m donating is actually going to a good source which is why i use islamic relief a lot

[kvrdelen]

of course my village of kurdish elders and children receives no aid. of course.

The Syrian government says its aid effort has been hampered by the economic sanctions that Western powers imposed in response to alleged human rights violations and other abuses committed during the country's 12-year civil war. The US, UK and EU deny this, saying trade in essential goods and humanitarian assistance are exempt from the sanctions. However, even though exports of medical supplies to Syria are not specifically sanctioned, international and regional banks fearful of being punished by Western authorities have in the past been reluctant to approve the financial transactions needed by Syrians to purchase them. On Monday, Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad called for the lifting of all "unilateral coercive measures" during a meeting with the UN Special Envoy to Syria, Geir Pedersen, Syrian state news agency SANA reported.

Don't you fucking dare say that Egyptians don't want Palestinians in Egypt!

Walk the streets of Egypt and ask. Everyone will tell you we would love if we can have them here and save Palestine. Egypt has a demonic government. If it weren't for the fear of disappearing or being killed on the spot the second you say something, we would have walked through the borders and open them ourselves.

Ramdan is less than a month away. We usually start the celebrations way before that. We can't. Egyptians are all miserable. People can't face the guilt. I know people who can't talk about it because they won't stop crying.

We welcomed the Syrians. We welcomed the Sudanese. You think we won't welcome the Palestinians?! You know nothing of our culture. We were raised on loving Palestinians. Most would probably hug you instantaneously if they find out you're Palestinian. It's actually a problem😂. Some Palestinians hate it.

We are having an economic crisis right now. Some genuinely think we deserve it. Morally speaking. For not helping Palestinians. And despite of such crisis, we will welcome them.

We have a saying, "Let us starve together. At least we can keep each other company!"

However,

It's not about whether they are welcome or not. It's about them being departed from their homes! It's their right to stay!

And we know most of them will stay till death

So, No. I would welcome Palestinians in my home, but we are fighting for their right of their own home

You have to be a special type of diabolical to bomb your neighbouring country in the region that has been affected by the same earthquake that your citizens have been affected by who desperately need & dont receive enough of your help but anything is possible when you're the republic of turkey

[littleabriel-blog]

I'm going to make this very simple for you:

--if, upon encountering a Jewish person online or IRL, your first action is to ask them their feelings regarding Israel, Gaza, or the sort, you are an antisemite.

--if, upon finding a Jew online, your first instinct is to search their blog to find signs that they might be a Zionist, you are an antisemite.

--if, upon encountering a Jewish person, your first instinct is to interrogate them as to whether or not they are a Zionist (in other words, a "good" Jew or a "bad" Jew), you are an antisemite.

--if you claim to care for Palestinians yet don't also condemn the Syrians, Lebanese, or other majority Muslim nations who have also persecuted them and denied them refuge, you are an antisemite.

--if you support blatantly antisemitic groups such as Hamas (who also persecute the Palestinians, btw, not to mention their stated aim is to wipe all Jews out from the Levant, which is what that "river to the sea" chant means), the Houthis (they have a flag that literally states "a curse upon the Jews), the Islamic Regime, and others, you are an antisemite.

--if someone can't tell the difference between you and a literal Nazi, you are an antisemite.

--if you deny what happened on October 7 or even say that the people who were raped and killed "deserved" it, you are an antisemite.

--if you hold all Jews responsible for the actions of Israel's government, you are an antisemite.

--if you hold no other nation to the same standards and accountabilities as you do Israel, you are an antisemite.

Feel free to add, fellow Jews.

Please can you publish trustworthy links for donating to Syria so it helps reach the less supported people?

There are 3 main ones I know of (I have family in Syria that are directly affected)

1. Molham

I've included a link to where people can donate and here is a link to their twitter page where they're giving regular updates. Here's a third link to donate in Euros

Molham, to those who don't know, are specifically a non profit, non government team that have been providing relief for displaced & refugee Syrians. They're now helping out with the Earth Quake.

2. The White Helmets 

Currently searching  for survivors and pull ing the dead from collapsed buildings

3. Islamic Relief (this link should work for all countries donating)

Has for a very long time been extremely reliable. I usually donate through them and they tend to help out people all cross the world. They currently have a team in Syria, last I've heard.

here's a link if you're donating specifically in Canada, UK, America,

please PLEASE donate.

Even one dollar, one pound, can go a long way.

And if you can't, PLEASE reblog!!

Syria needs help too! Syria matters too! They're not receiving aid for a variety of political reasons and they desperately need it!!!
