Campism: "A paradigmatic case relates to the early years of the 1979 Revolution, when two opposed left strategies in Iran confronted the real threat of U.S. imperialism. On one side, the pro-Soviet Tudeh Party called for a “United People’s Front” with “the steadfast fighters on the path of Ayatollah Khomeini,” branding women, leftist, and minority struggles as divisive “imperialist plots” that endangered national unity. On the other, the National Democratic Front (NDF) insisted that only deepening the revolution’s democratic content and defending the fundamental rights of the people could secure its anti-imperialist endurance. When the Islamic Republic, under the banner of anti-imperialism, crushed the NDF and other leftist and minority movements, the Tudeh Party not only remained silent but at times endorsed this repression—until the same machinery eventually turned against its own leadership." an internationalist critique by Amir Kianpour & Morteza Samanpour: https://portolan-journal.org/?post=many-shades-of-campism-an-internationalist-critique via @leilashami@spore.social #strategy #Iran #Palestine #internationalism #Syria #Hezbollah #feminism #antiImperialism #politics #campism #islamism #Houthis

LA NOTIZIA: È morto Umberto Pizzi, addio al fotografo che ha raccontato 60 anni di storia italiana Si è spento all’età di 89 anni Umberto Pizzi, il fotografo che ha raccontato 60 anni di storia italiana, immortalando divi, politici e protagonisti della mondanità. A dare il triste annuncio è stato il sito del Fatto Quotidiano, con cui collaborava da oltre dieci anni. Nato a Zagarolo nel 1937, Pizzi aveva iniziato a fotografare nel 1968 e da quel momento non si era più fermato. Ogni giorno, infatti, saliva in sella al suo scooter, rigorosamente con la macchina fotografica al collo, per catturare istanti che sarebbero poi entrati nell’immaginario collettivo. Ha immortalato gli anni della Dolce Vita, le grandi storie d’amore, come quella tra Liz Taylor e Richard Burton, ma anche il potere, la discesa in campo di Silvio Berlusconi, i vizi e i costumi della società italiana e, in particolare, dell’aristocrazia romana. È stato anche fotoreporter di guerra per la Fao in Iran, Iraq, Turchia, Siria e Giordania. Sono tantissimi gli scatti che sono finiti sulle testate italiane e internazionali, tra cui Time, People Magazine e Sunday Express Magazine. Negli anni Duemila ha collaborato con il sito Dagospia, pubblicando i libri Cafonal e Ultracafonal.   L'articolo È morto Umberto Pizzi, addio al fotografo che ha raccontato 60 anni di storia italiana sembra essere il primo su LA NOTIZIA. Umberto Pizzi has died, goodbye to the photographer who told 60 years of Italian history. Umberto Pizzi, the photographer who documented 60 years of Italian history, immortalizing celebrities, politicians, and figures of high society, died at the age of 89. The announcement was made by the Fatto Quotidiano website, with which he had collaborated for over ten years. Born in Zagarolo in 1937, Pizzi began photographing in 1968 and never stopped since. Every day, he would ride his scooter, always with his camera around his neck, to capture moments that would later enter the collective imagination. He captured the years of the Dolce Vita, great love stories, such as that between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, but also power, Silvio Berlusconi’s entry into politics, the vices and customs of Italian society, particularly the Roman aristocracy. He was also a war photojournalist for FAO in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria and Jordan. There are many photographs that appeared on Italian and international publications, including Time, People Magazine and Sunday Express Magazine. In the 2000s he collaborated with the website Dagospia, publishing the books Cafonal and Ultracafonal. The article “Umberto Pizzi is Dead, Farewell to the Photographer Who Told 60 Years of Italian History” appears to be first on LA NOTIZIA. #UmbertoPizzi #Italian #theFattoQuotidiano #Zagarolo #Pizzi #LizTaylor #RichardBurton #SilvioBerlusconi’s #Turkey #Syria #Jordan #PeopleMagazine #Dagospia #Cafonal #Ultracafonal #first #LANOTIZIA

Shepherds Increasingly the Target of Israel’s Southwest Syria Detentions (AntiWar.com, 2026-09-24) https://news.antiwar.com/2026/09/24/shepherds-increasingly-the-target-of-israels-southwest-syria-detentions/ ------ >> Israeli forces continue to raid southwestern #Syria on a daily basis, raiding towns and setting up checkpoints. This week, the increasing trend is for them to harass shepherds operating in the countryside of Quneitra Governorate. >> Those villages in southern #Quneitra are extremely reliant on agriculture, and herding is a big part of that. The shepherds are out in the countryside, grazing their flocks, and that puts them directly in the line of fire for the Israeli troops roaming the countryside on any given day... #StopIsrael #palestine @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Rivolte in Siria contro il rincaro dei carburanti: strade bloccate e copertoni in fiamme – video Proseguono per il secondo giorno le proteste in Siria contro il rincaro dei carburanti, con blocchi stradali e copertoni in fiamme in diverse regioni. Lo riferiscono media di Damasco e l’Osservatorio siriano per i diritti umani, secondo cui le manifestazioni interessano soprattutto le regioni nord-orientali di Raqqa, Hasake e Deir ez-Zor, dove i manifestanti hanno bloccato anche le autobotti dirette ai giacimenti petroliferi. Cortei sono segnalati pure ad Aleppo, Idlib e Hama, nella Siria centrale e occidentale. Il rincaro, in vigore da domenica, ha portato il gasolio da 125 a 175 lire siriane al litro (+40%) e la benzina da 152 a 195 lire (+28%). Il ministero dell’Energia ha attribuito la misura, definita “temporanea”, alla manutenzione della raffineria di Banias, sulla costa mediterranea, ferma per circa due mesi, e al rincaro dei costi di approvvigionamento sui mercati internazionali. La Siria importa oltre il 60% del gasolio e un terzo della benzina consumati. Secondo economisti locali, il rincaro rischia di alimentare un’inflazione diffusa su trasporti, agricoltura e beni alimentari, spingendo sotto la soglia di povertà larga parte della popolazione L'articolo Rivolte in Siria contro il rincaro dei carburanti: strade bloccate e copertoni in fiamme – video proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Protests in Syria against fuel price increases: blocked roads and burning tires - video Protests continue for the second day in Syria against fuel price increases, with road blockades and burning tires in several regions. This is reported by Damascus media and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, according to which demonstrations are mainly focused on the north-eastern regions of Raqqa, Hasake and Deir ez-Zor, where protesters have also blocked oil trucks heading to oil fields. Marches have also been reported in Aleppo, Idlib and Hama, in central and western Syria. The increase, in effect since Sunday, has raised diesel from 125 to 175 Syrian pounds per liter (+40%) and gasoline from 152 to 195 Syrian pounds (+28%). The Ministry of Energy has attributed the measure, described as “temporary,” to maintenance at the Banias refinery, on the Mediterranean coast, which had been shut down for about two months, and to rising supply costs on international markets. Syria imports over 60% of its diesel consumption and a third of its gasoline consumption. According to local economists, the increase risks fueling widespread inflation in transport, agriculture and food products, pushing large parts of the population below poverty thresholds. #Syria #Damascus #Raqqa #Hasake #Deirez-Zor #Aleppo #Idlib #Syrian #TheMinistryofEnergy
