Turkey’s assault on Afrin in north-west Syria is a transparent violation of worldwide legislation, and air strikes have intentionally focused civilian areas.
Turkey has NATO’s second largest military and far of its weapons come from European states together with the UK which had not too long ago signed a serious arms deal. The UK authorities has expressed help for Turkey, claiming it has a proper to defend it borders, however this assault is outdoors these and Turkey has clearly announce an intention to push far into Syria.
Turkish goals are clearly genocidal with Turkish president Erdogan having acknowledged he intends to invade all of the Kurdish areas of Syria and “cleanse” the world of its Kurdish folks.

Israeli Embassy Protest in opposition to Land Day Killings
I joined others near the Israeli embassy in Kensington for an emergency protest in opposition to the taking pictures of unarmed protesters a number of hundred yards from the Gaza separation wall by IDF snipers. 17 Civilians had been killed and over 750 critically injured by dwell hearth, with others injured by rubber bullets and tear gasoline.
The bloodbath the day gone by had shocked the world and led the UN to name for an unbiased investigation, which Israel have refused – simply as they’ve refused requires unbiased investigation into different massacres. The information had come too late for a big protest to be organised – which adopted in April.
Protection of the occasion within the UK media on the day had been surprisingly muted, with the BBC giving appreciable air-time to Israeli state audio system shamefully claiming the bloodbath was affordable and absolutely justified. The identical factor has been taking place over occasions in Gaza in latest months, although I believe it has now turn out to be very a lot clearer that they’ve misplaced all credibility and even some presenters have generally challenged them.
Towards Israeli Land Day bloodbath.
