There appears to be considerable debate among the top leaders of the PLO about the attempts to recover the Yarmouk Refugee Camp in metro Damascus, which ISIS has captured over the past week.
Earlier in the day, top PLO official Ahmad Majdalani announced that he “fully endorsed” a plan military offensive by Syria to oust ISIS. Even though Majdalani was appointed by the PLO to meet with Syrian officials on the matter, the PLO later issued a statement disavowing his statement, and saying they do not approve a military offensive against the camp.
ISIS fought both PLO and Hamas-linked forces for control of the camp and fairly quickly overran them. The takeover leaves ISIS forces just 3 miles from the Damascus presidential palace.
Syria’s concern is primarily for ISIS using the camp as a base to attack central Damascus, while the PLO’s concern is for the civilians still trapped inside the refugee camp.
The camp once had 200,000 residents, before the civil war, but various battles have dwindled that to less than 10%. The humanitarian situation was precarious even before the arrival of ISIS, which is only making matters worse.
To those of you skeptical who might think that ISIS wining the war, it's not over until is over. The creation of ISIS was intended to change everything in Middle East, european government, saudis, the turkish, Israeli so as USG already lost to people's of Middle East demanding for their democratic rights long before Obama was born; therefore they had to create yet another monster clicking at everyone's door. Remember, every action have a reaction, you created this monster now the ver same monster(ISIS/israel/saudi/wahabbis) is after you.
200,000 helpless people in the middle of a firefight that would doubtless use heavy weapons as Syria usually does — what could go wrong?
The PLO is probably right to beg off being "saved" in that form.
Whatever evil the ISIS is doing (and no doubt that is horrible) "saving" them with artillery and rocket barrages on them and then leading in with tank and machine gun fire is rather like saving Vietnam villages by destroying them.
