A new report from Human Rights Watch, taking the form of an open letter to the self-described rebel leadership faction the Syrian National Council (SNC), has warned that rebel forces are increasingly committing serious human rights abuses.
The list of violations of human rights is an extensive one, with rebel factions taking part in the kidnapping and torture of Assad supporters, and some reportedly carrying out summary executions of Syrian civilians.
Interestingly the report notes that opposition to Assad rule was overwhelmingly peaceful until September, and has gotten increasingly violent since then. This is particularly noteworthy because the group that eventually became the Syrian National Council (SNC) formed in late August.
Since the SNC’s creation, the international community has overwhelmingly backed exiled groups like them and the Free Syrian Army (FSA), at the exclusion of peaceful protesters who are now mostly an afterthought in Syria’s civil war.
Meanwhile the US Treasury Department announced today that it has warned the Lebanese government that it needs to comply with US-imposed sanctions against Syria. The current ruling coalition in Lebanon is close with Syria, whereas the opposition group is overwhelmingly US backed.
They called TERRORISTS, they don't have a name other then that. They are the puppet of Saudis and UAE, Kuwaitis and Jordanian King and Turkish sectarian regime. They don't understand humanity nor Human rights, name “human” “humanity" have no meaning for them, whatever been cooked into their minds that what it is. Syria is a country of people with every beliefs, Assyrian, Syrians, Orthodox greek, Muslims, Christianity and Etc. Yet, the Saudis “Academic leader" in Islamism have said that all other religious needs to pack and move out of middle east, Kuwait is one of those countries that is going to implement this "Academic Leader" in Islamism idea and Saudi Kingdom have promised Obama to compensate any shortage of oil and support his reelection.., now you (Jason) figure the rest.
This is not news to everyone who monitors variety of world media. All this information was provided to UN as well. The problem is, our mainstream media has all but ignored all the massacres committed by the exteremists. Instead of recognizing that the armed extremists do not represent population, and certainly not peacefull demonstrators, the media kept on defending them, and portraying them as the victims of the Government. Yet, Government had no choice but to respond to the massacres they committed.
And what now? The exile groups have put all their eggs in the militants basket. Saudi Arabia and Gulf states took US lead, and did the same. Now, that no population in Syria is supporting the militants, what is the solution? May be the only one is to help them get evacuated somewhere in exile. But given their unsavory reputation, which country will give them refuge?
And to all this, US Government is worried about Lebanon's sanctions? Lebanon is not doing anything that is against UN decisions. All the while the bombs and ammunitions used to kill Syrians are coming across the border from Jordan, with Saudi Arabia doing the supplying? What a mess!
The USA ambassador cries like a baby when she claimed the leaders of Syria are killing their citizens. She is so silent today on her heros have been proven to be the armed thugs from other nations that everyone believed. I am not sure how long it will be but it is clear that everyone has come to understand that it is all actions taking place as directed by operation cleanbreak. how could we get into such a mess.
A couple of points:
1.When the US media uses the phrase ’‘international Community” they really mean the US, England, France, Germany, and a couple of other west European countries.
2.Syrian opposition was initially peaceful, like the Egyptian’s, until the “international community”, meaning those who f**ked up Libya for oil, decided to interfere in Syrian affairs by Al Qaeda and their other terrorist thugs.
3.To quote Anti-war, “…the opposition group is overwhelmingly US backed.” That doesn’t mean Syrian people; it means Al Qaeda, Saudi and Qatari terrorists and other CIA assets from the Libyan theater.
I really sometimes think you people should read the Lawrence's Pillars of Wisdom in which he explains how Percy asked him who should take over the Keys to Mecca and Medina the power of the Islamic World. Lawrence recommend the Saud family because their form of Islam was the most biggotted in the region. A very small biggotted sect who in Lawrence's words was "more biggotted than the Plymouth brethren". The House of Saud were given control of Mecca and Medina because under their guardianship the Islamic world who be plunged into indefinite inter faith struggles. The equivalent would be to put the Plymouth brethen in charge of the Catholic papacy. Ever since then Britian and the West have supported rival sects, strong men and secular leaders with the aim of keeping the Islamic world divided in chaos and unable to develop sociially economically or politically. It's not about oil it is about Israel ruling from the Nile to Euphrates over squabbling divided Sultanates. Anybody who challenges this by educating and developing their people in any form gets overthrown. Iraq highest literacy levels, Libya developing high literacy levels, Syria unified and educated, Iran developing educationally and politically, all threats in the long term.
