At least 17 people were killed today, apparently all civilian protesters, as another Friday of massive demonstrations took over the streets of Syria, with reports of over 200,000 rallying, mostly in the city of Homs.
The central theme of the protests today was condemning the Arab League for its repeated promises of action to resolve the situation and its ultimatums, which have repeatedly passed without any deals in place.
And as if to prove their point, the Arab League announced that its latest “emergency meeting” on Syria, which was supposed to be held tomorrow, has been postponed indefinitely. No reason was given for the latest delay.
In early November it looked as though the Arab League was going to help resolve the situation, with a deal in place to send international monitors and broker talks on major reforms. The monitors never arrived, however, and the talks have yet to even be scheduled as violence soars in the nation.
The pro-war propaganda continues here at antiwar.com…
We are told by this news writer (rewriter…?) that 17 "civilian protesters" have been killed…
But on this same website we have a story from Reuters along with a photo that shows a fire burning in the middle of a street that is littered with large boulders obviously placed as barricades…a handful of people are milling about…at most two or three dozen…
Where is the photographic evidence of 200,000 "peaceful protesters…?"
What a complete bunch of propaganda lying…
At least the Reuters story has some semblence of professionalism, attributing the allegation of 13 people killed as coming from "activists…"
And notice that the story says "people" killled, not "civilians…"
So antiwar is going well beyond the MSM garbage in drumming up hysteria whose only purpose is a military intervention and/or an outright civil war…
More rumor-mongering from antiwar.com's own armchair bombardier. I suppose Ditz still believes that there was a massacre at Benghazi, that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, that there was a massacre at Srebrenica, and so on. I guess being a propagandist for the war machine means never having to say you're sorry. Of course the real punishment should be to be forced to live in one of these utterly destructed countries whose "liberation" you cheered.
The "mostly" 200,000 function on a rotational schedule, 200 per day so they can last for 3 years. Am I exaggerating? Well, a bit, but I'm allowed to, just emulating my betters.
