The #IranianRevolution was originally an alliance of socialists and Islamists against the monarchy.

Then ... somehow ... the Islamists ended up running the joint.

I don't know how the yanks don't get more suspicion on them for what went wrong?

Why does #IranContra narrative only ever talk about the anti-communist factor in Latin America? Genuine question if anyone knows?

Also, over 1200 Jewish communists are missing presumed dead in #Argentina from the #DirtyWar

1) I was a teenager when the #DirtyWar was taking place in #Argentina. I remember the sinister junta generals making their appearance at the 1978 World Cup

Haley Cohen Gilliland has written a deeply impactful history of that horror as seen through the eyes of grandmothers who lost not just their sons and daughters tortured and pushed out of planes over the cold South Atlantic but also their grandchildren born in captivity, torn away from their mothers and kidnapped by their tormentors

These western backed zionist invaders are the enemies of the colonized, oppressed and exploited peoples of the world. It was wrong when the #IOF put their flag on the Al Shifa hospital after massacring patients and Palestinians seeking refuge from the military siege. Therefore, it is just as wrong in for them to raise their flag on #MtHermon in Syria.

#France / Alban Liechti

Alban Liechti (1935 – 2024) was a French anti-colonial militant. He was the first French soldier to refuse to bear arms against the Algerian people. #Wikipedia

Mort d'Alban Liechti, le « soldat du refus » de la guerre d'Algérie

« Dans cette guerre, ce sont les Algériens qui défendent leurs femmes, leurs enfants, leur patrie, ce sont les Algériens qui combattent pour la paix et la justice. » C’est pourquoi, ajoute-t-il, « je ne peux prendre les armes contre le peuple algérien en lutte pour son indépendance ».

"In this war, it is the Algerians who are defending their women, their children, their homeland; it is the Algerians who are fighting for peace and justice." He adds, "This is why I cannot take up arms against the Algerian people in their struggle for independence."
