U.S. Backed Syrian Rebels Massacre Christian Village

Government forces had launched an offensive against the city in April this year, in an attempt to hit the main supply lines of the insurgents.

(DAMASCUS (Free Syrian Press) - On Monday (27 May 2013) Free Syrian Army commandos affiliate, the largest armed force of the Syrian resistance against Assad, massacred the entire population of al-Duvair, a Christian village on the outskirts of Homs, not far from the border with Lebanon.

The news was the Syrian news agency Ahlul Bayt, who stressed that the killings did not spare women and children, until the intervention of the Syrian army.

U.S. Policy in Syria is a Disaster for Christians

Backing jihadist radicals in Syria contradicts the American efforts to supposedly rid the world of terrorism.

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Originally from Damascus, Syria, Fadida, a California business owner, offers a startling look at how Syrian Christians view the unrelenting U.S. effort to disrupt another secular, Middle East govt.

She says the people of Damascus deserve to live in peace. Instead, the U.S. backed Free Syrian Army mercenary jihadists and their daily heinous crimes against civilians are a constant threat to their safety, and their future.

The Syrian Conflict: Qaradawi`s Incitement to Violence

It is Qaradawi’s legitimisation of Western hegemony by invoking religious authority that makes his role so perfidious.

(KUALA LAMPUR) - Any human being who abhors violence and bloodshed would be shocked by remarks made by a leading religious personality, Sheikh Youssef al-Qaradawi, on the 1^st of June 2013.

At a rally in Doha, he urged Sunni Muslims in the region to go to Syria and fight the Bashar al-Assad government and its supporters, the Hezbollah and Iran. He regarded it as a “jihad.”

Muslims Killing Muslims: How the West has Benefited from Bloodshed

More repugnant has been the “secular” West’s manipulation of the different schools of theology within Islam, pitting Muslim against Muslim for their own self-centered purposes and profit.

(DENVER) - “Muslims should be at the forefront of Islamic unity, saying enough with Muslims massacring Muslims...

When the ‘kuffar’ kill Muslims, they do not ask them if they’re Sunni, Shi’ah or Sufi,” writes professor, author and research scholar Dr. John Andrew Morrow.

McCain`s Visit to Syria is `High Treason`

Last month, Republican senators pressed the U.S. president for a military attack against Syria. Obama said using chemical weapons by Syria would be a red line that, if crossed, would prompt the U.S. into direct action.

(TEHRAN Press TV) - Former U.S. Intelligence Linguist Scott Rickard says Senator John McCain’s visit to Syria is “high treason” as Washington does not have relations with Damascus more than a year.

“John McCain’s visit to Syria is another clear indication of U.S. military and intelligence involvement in Syria”, he said in a phone interview with Press TV.

John McCain`s Continuing Disservice to America

First a friend to communist captors, now he's kissing cheeks with the terrorists, McCain must be stopped.

(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Has John McCain lost his mind? His illegal meeting with Sunni terrorists in Syria is the latest stain on this warmonger's record. He's a morally repugnant low life rich guy who does nothing to this country but a disservice.

I have written before that McCain is the Manchurian Candidate, the one who was programmed long ago to destroy this nation from within.

Petition: Arrest John McCain & Investigate US State Department & Clandestine Activity in Syria

I am sending this letter as official notice of a citizens request for the arrest of John McCain and investigation of these criminal activities in Syria.

(WASHINGTON DC) - The Federal Bureau of investigations suggested I contact your office regarding Senator John McCain's illegally entry into Syria yesterday, Monday, May 27, 2013.

It is my understanding that US state department and other clandestine activity has been facilitating intelligence, logistics and weapons to militants and criminal mercenaries operating in and around Syria for over two years.

Voronezh Human Rights House at Risk of Closure

The intention to close Voronezh Human Rights House is linked to the peaceful and legitimate human rights work of the organisations it houses.

(YORK, UK) - Charitable foundation "International Project - Youth Human Rights Movement" (YHRM), received a letter from the Department of Property and Estate Relations of Voronezh City Administration that breaks their lease and enjoins YHRM to leave the premises.

A similar letter was received on 17 May 2013 by the Confederation of Free Labour, an interregional trade union, whose offices are also located in Voronezh Human Rights House.

UK Trying to `Nobble` Nasrallah
...and Banish Hezbollah to Outer Darkness

The MP did at least declare an interest: "I am one of the vice-chairs of Labour Friends of Israel." Well, there's a surprise.

(LONDON) - Earlier this month an MP got up in the House of Commons and proposed that the UK government outlaw, or "proscribe", the whole Hezbollah organisation, not just its military wing.

"I accept that a full ban on Hezbollah may be difficult to achieve," he said, "but even an EU ban on the military wing of Hezbollah would send a powerful message that we do not tolerate Hezbollah’s and Iran’s terrorism...."

The Silver Lining

Let us not oversell. The complete inability of tribes and religious rivals to resolve their conflicts in Syria hardly bodes a future without war.

(PORTLAND, OR) - If the brutal and tragic agony of Syria today has one small glimmer of hope, it is that the great powers are completely stymied, blocked, paralyzed in their ability to resolve anything by military action.

Were this 1914 and had we possessed nuclear weapons, the Syrian situation might have led to a war that ended the world.
