Meet the Iraqi journalist famous for throwing his shoes at US President George Bush during a press conference in Baghdad on this day in 2008 while shouting, “This is a kiss goodbye from the Iraqi people, you dog!” The incident made the 45-year-old journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi a hero for millions of people who opposed the US occupation of Iraq.
Al-Zaidi was jailed and tortured for “assaulting a foreign leader.” Large protests erupted across Iraq and in other Arab countries, demanding his release. His sentence was reduced to one year, and he was eventually released after nine months in prison, although he had to go into exile.
The shoe-throwing against Bush reflected the anger of Iraqis over the 2003 US-led invasion, which killed 1.2 million Iraqis, according to the highest estimates. In this interview, al-Zaidi explains his experience with the occupation.

French transport workers are striking to protest the privatization of the country’s railway system, as well as other austerity measures being pushed by Macron.
These neoliberal reforms come at a time of weak government legitimacy. A coalition of the left, the New Popular Front, won the legislative elections in the summer. However, Macron has refused to let them assume the prime minister’s office. Instead, he appointed former EU bureaucrat and conservative politician Michel Barnier at the time, despite Barnier’s party losing badly in the elections. Barnier's lack of support led him to losing a no confidence motion last week.
Workers argue Macron is rushing through major structural neoliberal reforms before leaving office, knowing they’ll be difficult to undo in the future.

On this day 87 years ago, Japanese troops slaughtered up to 300,000 Chinese in a horrific massacre that made even the Nazis tremble. “To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice,” and the “forgotten Holocaust of WWII” truly has been forgotten.
Over a period of six weeks, the Japanese terrorized the Chinese city of Nanjing in what is known as the Nanjing Massacre or the “Rape of Nanjing.” In addition to the mass murder, Japanese troops also committed other war crimes such as mass rape, looting, and arson. Up to 80,000 women were raped, and around a third of the buildings in what was then China’s capital were destroyed. Read on to learn more about this largely forgotten chapter of WW2.

“Money for wages, health, and education—not for imperialist wars!” This was the slogan of the anti-austerity march organized yesterday by Greek unions in protest of the government's budget, which includes cuts to essential services.
The country has been praised by Western media for its growing investor returns. However, the purchasing power of Greek workers has declined dramatically over the past few years.

“Homeland or Death!” are the famous words communist revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara said at the UN General Assembly on this day in 1964. In his speech, Che denounced US interventions worldwide and called for resistance against imperialism.
Six decades later, Che’s words remain as relevant as ever, as the Palestinian people continue their unwavering resistance against the Israeli occupation, acting on behalf of US imperialism in the Middle East.
During his first visit to Gaza in 1959, Che told Palestinian refugees that they must continue their struggle to liberate their homeland. Resisting the occupation was the only way, he said. Che admitted that their case was “complex” because the new Jewish settlers occupied their homes. “The right must eventually be restored,” he affirmed.

Indigenous Amazonian communities in Ecuador have seized the governor’s building in the region of Napo to protest against the construction of a mega-jail on their territory.
The right-wing government of President Noboa is attempting to build more jails to deal with the skyrocketing rate of crime. Crime has exploded ever since leftist President Rafael Correa left office in 2016.
Under President Correa, Ecuador’s homicide rate was the second lowest in South America. Since 2016, the country has had three neoliberal governments and the number of violent deaths has increased by 500%. This has resulted in Ecuadorians becoming one of the fastest growing groups of migrants attempting to reach the US as people seek to flee growing poverty and violence.

🟡 Famous Al-Jazeera TV host Faisal Al-Qassem recently called for mass beheadings by guillotine of Assad loyalists on social media. Faisal Al-Qassam hosts the program “The Opposite Direction,” which has long been considered highly controversial.

🟡 Around 90,000 Syrians have fled to Lebanon following the Assad government’s collapse, according to Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar. Since Sunday, 7,000 people officially entered Lebanon, but thousands more crossed illegally. Most are minorities from former government-protected areas, reportedly forced out by militant threats and attacks.
🟡 The Kurdish administration in northeast Syria has declared a prisoner amnesty to mark the fall of the al-Assad regime, The Associated Press reports. In Qamishli, families celebrated outside Navkur prison as freed detainees reunited with loved ones. This follows similar actions by rebel forces in areas previously under al-Assad’s control.
🟡 UN Secretary-General António Guterres has expressed concern over Israel’s repeated airstrikes in Syria, citing violations of the country’s sovereignty and the 1974 ceasefire agreement. Speaking through his spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, Guterres urged an urgent deescalation of violence and emphasized the need to uphold the ceasefire, which he insists remains valid.
🟡 Israeli airstrikes on Syria have continued unabated since the overthrow of Bashar Al-Assad on December 8. So far, the Israeli Air Force has struck more than 500 targets in Syria and dropped an estimated 1,800 bombs, according to reports by Mehr News Agency.

While the West rebrands former ISIS and Al-Qaeda terrorists as “moderate rebels,” they’ve been executing and torturing anyone who doesn’t align with their worldview since taking power.
The West also turned a blind eye to Libya’s slave markets after Gaddafi’s fall. Some truths are just too inconvenient to report.
