US Special Envoy to Syria James Jeffrey told the House Foreign Affairs
Committee that the US has seen video footage of “several incidents”
committed by Turkey-backed troops in northern Syria which the US
considered to be war crimes.
The war crimes are being committed by Turkey’s Islamist rebel allies, with videos showing them executing people in civilian clothing, and bragging about how many Kurds they’ve killed.
CNN reported on some of these videos early in the Turkish invasion, with
rebels filming themselves over the bodies of a Kurdish politician and
two bodyguards, declaring them the “corpse of pigs.”
Syrian Kurdish officials have expressed fear that this Turkish invasion
will be “the biggest ethnic cleansing operation of the 21st century.”
They have emphasized this will trying to convince the US to get
involved.
Turkish officials have dismissed reports of war crimes in northern
Syria, saying all such allegations are a “smear campaign” invented by
the Kurds, who Turkish officials label terrorists.
Assange provided us all with video and sound clips of AMERICANS committing war crimes in Iraq. Where is the uproar and calls for punishment of those war criminals ????? Instead Assange is incarcerated for the good deed he’s done. Is that not a glaring exposure of the hypcrisy that exits today in the U.S. mindset ??????????????
Pot calling Kettle black.
I usually only read anything with Jeffrey’s name in for entertainment value; he really is just a wind up puppet reciting neo con talking points handed to him by nitenyaahoo and his zionist handlers in State Dept.
The videos he is referring to are probably those prepared by the White Helmuts. He is incapable of offering an original thought and should have been fired long ago.
Really a pathetic “public servant”.
US Special blood soaked war monger to Syria, James Jeffrey, did not mention the long train of war crimes committed in Syria by US forces and US-backed jihadi lunatics for the last 8 years.
Maybe he just choked on the blood.
