Protesters are now marching in Istanbul, Turkey, condemning the Israeli assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

As I said. The SNA don’t give a shit about the people of Syria. They’d rather do Turkey’s dirty work in exchange for MONEY.

My brothers and sisters, get ready! Sooner or later you are gonna have to do this and sooner the better. God is the one who shows the way.

how do you stay hopeful when every powerful force is against you, and mainstream media yields to their wants and needs, when every step forward is met with brutalisation forcing you 10 steps back, and sympathy is only extended to the oppressor

Eda Deniz Haydaroğlu endured a 313 day hunger strike to support her 3 revolutionary comrades held illegally in German prisons.

Özgül Emre, İhsan Cibelik and Serkan Küpeli are imprisoned for their democratic rights and activities! Özgül Emre had to endure a 44 day prison hunger strike in nothing but her underwear.

Large demonstration in Adana in Turkey in protest against Israel's ongoing massacres in Gaza.

No I don’t believe in violent self-sacrifice.

It’s needlessly drastic and seldom achieves anything.

Plus it’s wasteful and only leads to needless bloodshed.

And no, hunger strikes do NOT count! They’re a drastic measure themselves but still. That’s a whole different area.

Kindly don’t compare the likes of Kurdish and Assyrian political prisoners in Turkey doing that kind of stuff to some idiot in ISIS blowing his ass up at a crowded market in Deir ez-Zor or wherever.

How leftwingers could help take down Erdoğan

“The tactical support provided by the HDP to Kılıçdaroğlu won’t last beyond the election, though. ‘In his programme, we don’t see anything more than […] a return to planned capitalism, instead of crony capitalism,’ said Kürkcü. ‘In the forthcoming government, we don’t want to take any part. We want to be the voice of the people, pushing this centrist movement to the side of labour. And we want to raise the issue of peace for the Kurdish problem.’ If Kılıçdaroğlu carries out his central pledge to return Turkey to parliamentary government, after Erdoğan changed the constitution to give the president almost unlimited powers in 2017, then a strong parliamentary presence will once more make a difference. ‘Kılıçdaroğlu promised to bring the [Kurdish] matter into the hands of parliament. That was enough at that point,’ Kürkcü explained. “So now we are supporting Kılıçdaroğlu against Erdoğan, but we are supporting our own party against every party in Turkey.’

“The HDP has managed to play broker in this election despite extremely hazardous conditions. Since the June 2015 election, Erdoğan has clamped down on the party, arresting tens of thousands of its members, purging its representatives from local government and civil society, and even going so far as to attempt to shut it down altogether in 2021 ...

“Despite this ... the fact that Erdoğa will be forced to fight a run-off for the first time in the 100-year history of the Turkish republic marks serious progress for the opposition. But a Kılıçdaroğlu win on 28 May would be just the beginning of the struggle against autocracy. ‘Erdoğa could be defeated’, Kürkcü explained, ‘but he’s not going to vanish. This is a major reality about the AKP.’”
