I am so full of admiration for #Syria's people. So much courage. After a devastating campaign of barrel bombs forced disappearance, starvation, bombarding of hospitals, use of chemical weapons, staying determined to take their fate into their own hands ❤️ You are an inspiration!

@KaiNielsen67 Danke Kai, dass du uns Frauen erklärst, was sich für uns wie anfühlt. Das weißt du natürlich viel besser als wir selbst. Und deswegen solltest auch nicht du, sondern natürlich nur betroffene Frauen einfach mal die Klappe halten.

this is from the protest today against the (now walked back) restriction on alcohol and infringement of personal rights. This widowed lady recalls how a Christian man helped her raise her children, posing the question to the authorities „Why are you making things sectarian?“

I don't expect an apology from all the Pro-Hezbollah Shi'ite Lebanese who celebrated and joked about the massacres, sieges and destruction committed against the Syrian people by the hands of Hezbollah and their Assad regime and Iranian allies. However I want them to know that I will never reach their level of lowness and celebrate the demise of their people and loss of their land by Israel. The enemy of my enemy is not my friend. murdering and forcibly displacing civilians is NEVER acceptable under any circumstance. Not by Assad. Not by Hezbollah. Not by Israel.

Destroying bridges is not a random form of infrastructure harm or collective punishment. What Israel is doing is cutting much of South Lebanon from the rest of the country.

#Syria: after Israel targeted 2 bases 2 nights ago, pro-Hijri Druze pages flooded social media with claims of additional (fake) airstrikes in Damascus, Daraa and Suwayda provinces.

#Syria: Israel carried out last night the first airstrikes since July 2025 linked to #Suwayda conflict following recent clashes with Hijri's National Guard, bombing 2 bases in the N. #Daraa countryside. In Izraa, an airstrike struck the 40th Division's Financial Department, without causing casualties.

Organisationen wie @HateAid waren es, die in den letzten Jahren Frauen wie Collien Fernandes geschützt haben, dort wo der Rechtsstaat versagt hat. Und ein Unionsabgeordneter feixt darüber, wenn ihnen die Gelder gestrichen werden. Solche Politiker sind Teil des Problems.
Christoph Ploß@christophploss

Kein Steuergeld mehr für linksaktivistische NGOs! Die CDU-geführte Bundesregierung redet nicht nur darüber, sondern handelt auch. Förderprogramme für linksaktivistische Organisationen wie „HateAid“ werden in Zukunft eingestellt. 😊 welt.de/politik/deutsc…

Wir stellen das Förderprogramm „Demokratie leben“ neu auf. Weg von NGOs hin zu etablierten Organisationen vor Ort – Berufsschulen, Feuerwehren, Sportvereine. Ab sofort geht es wieder um die Wirksamkeit des Mitteleinsatzes, nicht allein um die politische Ausrichtung der Empfänger. welt.de/politik/deutsc…

This is Syria In 2026. People exercising their right to protest their grievances against the government. In this case, it was the decision to ban alcohol sales in bars and restaurants in Damascus, and restricting the sales to only 3 predominantly Christian neighbourhoods. If this was Assad's Syria, there would be gunfire, and most of the people you see in this video will have already been disappeared into Assad's sadistic prison systems.

Syria 🇸🇾: local residents protested in Bab Touma today against the recently announced alcohol ban in Damascus, stating the ban will put many shops and bars out of business.

A smart move by Damascus to begin reversing this controversial decision. Responsiveness to public demands is one of the many things that distinguishes this government from its predecessor. x.com/ibrahimhamidi/…
Dareen Khalifa@dkhalifa

The Syrian government walking back positions on issues like alcohol sales is likely to raise broader concerns about whether commitments on more strategic files will also hold. Whether or not this is a domestic priority, such moves are the kinds of signals observers watch closely to gauge consistency and intent.

Was ist das nur für eine Besessenheit, Menschen in Not im Stich lassen zu wollen, weil die Hilfe von einer NGO kommt? Möchte @christophploss lieber eine staatliche Stelle einrichten, die die Aufgabe übernimmt oder ist der Schaden der einzige Zweck?

Wenn sich Betroffene von digitaler Gewalt bei uns melden, empfehlen wir ihn häufig die kostenlose Beratung von @HateAid . Wenn die Mittel für diese Leistung gestrichen werden, sollten wir sie wohl auf das Büro des Abgeordneten verweisen, der sicherlich gerne die Aufgabe übernimmt.
