Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

U don't have to search for truth it automatically revels itself no.matter how hard u try to hide it

Well desperation eventually kicks in. They can't hide the truth forever. All their lies and deception will eventually be revealed to humanity.

It's a shame they're using kids for their propaganda machine. How much you wanna bet Bana is another fake? It's utterly pathetic.

The difference b/w propaganda and truth.

And your accepting propaganda

Assad and the Alewites have destroyed Syria and brutalised its population just to keep an Alewite dictator in charge

Do you think that the random twitter propaganda pictures are from Syrian muslims faking an atrocity and then implicating themselves by taking a "before" picture

Or SAA and the Alewites simply posting random pictures on twitter


The muslim world has seen what Assad backed by hezbollah, shia militias and Iran has done in Syria, it is fiendish and will go down in muslim history as a crime against our faith and humanity

And your muslim world propped up al qaeda and ISIS to counter Assad.

What a wonderful alternative.

#EastAleppo civilians to Anti-#Assad @Reuters:'Rebels' took ALL our food. So much food! Not even a piece of bread! They starved us to death!

Now the next phase is to free the rest of the country.

Since we are talking about accepting atrocities on our own side, do you also accept that Britain with its policies in past 2 centuries up until even now is one of the greatest mass murderers in contemporary history?
Accepting atrocities on your own side? What does that mean ?lol

You are talking about atrocities every empire committed these past centuries? Lol if so Mongolia is the biggest mass murderer in contemporary history. :D All empires in the past expanded by all means necessary for their own interests as far as they had the capabilities and seeked conquest, be it the Soviets Union, Nazis Germany, Japanese empire, Ottoman Empire(Turks), Greeks(Alexander the Great, France under Napoleon, Arabian empire(if I can it so.lol), Egyptians etc etc. So your point is mute.
So I don't understand what you are trying to say with comparing past historic empires with your tyrant puppet Assad who is ready to kill all its own people if it means he will remain in power. Lol
I understand you though, as an Iranian, you obviously support your country's own interests and proxy actions in Syria. Iraq etc. It's normal though, I too will o the same to be honest. :)

Terry Glavin: Aleppo has fallen and so has humanity. We are disgraced

Aleppo has fallen. The last and sturdiest bastion of the Syrian uprising is gone. The Battle of Aleppo is over, the revolution is finished, and the Syrian mass murderer Bashar al-Assad has won. Russia has won. Iran has won. Hezbollah has won. The United States has lost. The United Nations has lost, and the bloody war in Syria, already having taken nearly half a million lives, goes on.

Aleppo mattered, it should go without saying, but it’s worthwhile enumerating what did not matter. You can start with Aleppo’s 31,000 dead and proceed from there through each and every statutory war crime codified by the International Criminal Court.

Mass murder by chlorine gas. Massacres of innocents. Bombardments by Russian jet fighters. The deliberate targeting of hospitals and clinics. The firing of mortar rounds into crowded neighbourhoods. The terror of barrel bombs dropped from Syrian army helicopters. The starvation siege that followed the city’s encirclement by Shia death squads and Assadist militias on Sept. 8.

Buses which will be used to evacuate rebel fighters and their families from rebel-held areas of Aleppo are seen waiting on December 15, 2016. Russian and Syrian military sources and rebel officials confirmed that a new agreement has been reached on an evacuation plan after the collapse of an earlier one.

Russian and Syrian military sources and rebel officials confirmed that a new agreement has been reached on an evacuation plan after the collapse of an earlier one.

None of that mattered, not the hourly imagery on Instagram and YouTube and Twitter of corpse-strewn streets and decapitated infants, and not the gut-wrenching final goodbyes uploaded to mobile phones or sent by text from the survivors in the rebel-held ruins of the Old City, the al-Shaar district, and the backstreets of Sheikh Saeed.

Leaning against a wall, his tattered Adidas hoodie drawn against the rain, the young English teacher, reporter and activist Abdulkafi Al-Hamdo managed to use his cellphone camera to upload his goodbye to the video-streaming service Periscope on Monday night.


“What I want to say is, don’t believe anymore in the United Nations. Don’t believe anymore in the international community. Don’t think that they are not satisfied with what’s going on. They are satisfied that we are being killed, that we are facing one of the most difficult, or the most serious, or the most horrible massacres that is in our history.

“Russia doesn’t want us to go out alive. They want us dead. Assad is the same … but at least we know that we were a free people. We wanted freedom. We didn’t want anything else but freedom. You know, this world doesn’t like freedom, it seems.”

There is no plausible defence any of us can mount against Al-Hambdo’s plainspoken indictment. In the world’s citadels of democracy, there are no popular constituencies sufficient to the task of commanding our elected leaders to put their backs into the emancipation of the Syrian people from their tormentors. After all, you know, quagmire and all that. Broach the subject of NATO enforcing a modicum of order in the Syrian abbatoir by means of, say, a no-fly zone, and you’ll be denounced as a warmonger in the mould of the archvillains George W. Bush and Tony Blair.

The truth of it is we’d just rather not take the trouble. We aren’t prepared to suffer the sacrifices demanded of the commitments to universal rights we profess, so we absolve ourselves by talking about “the Muslim world” as though it were a distant planet. We talk about Arabs as though they were a different species. It’s easier on the conscience that way.

Between the drooling bigotries of the isolationist right and the clever platitudes of the “anti-imperialist” left, the only place left to address the solemn obligations we owe one another as human beings is in negotiations over the codicils of international trade agreements, or in the rituals of deliberately unenforceable resolutions entertained by the United Nations General Assembly.

Just last Friday, Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion and his diplomats conducted just such a ceremony in sponsoring a non-binding General Assembly resolution demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities in Syria, humanitarian aid access throughout the country, and an end to the siege of Aleppo. It passed, 122 to 13. This is what counts these days as a diplomatic coup.

Canadian Ambassador to the UN Marc-Andre Blanchard was pleased to claim that the resolution was already having an effect even before it was voted on, because the day before, Russia announced it was temporarily halting its bombing of Aleppo and had even offered to open corridors to allow civilians to flee. This is what counts these days as a diplomatic triumph.

The UN human rights office later announced that it had received credible reports that hundreds of men who crossed into Aleppo’s regime-controlled districts had gone missing. Young men were being pulled out of the line at the corridor checkpoints. The Consultative Council in the Levant Front, one of Aleppo’s main rebel groups, reported that the men had been taken to “warehouses that look more like internment camps.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reckons that 60,000 Syrians have been starved to death, tortured to death or executed in Assad’s prisons since the non-violent democratic uprising began in February, 2011. Relying on regime defectors and insiders, the Observatory has verified 14,446 deaths at a single facility, Sednaya prison, near Damascus.

And now Aleppo is undergoing what UN humanitarians spokesman Jens Laerke calls “a complete meltdown of humanity.” The still-living lie with dead in the rubble of bombed out buildings. You can hear them screaming. Regime militias are carrying out mass executions of civilians. In one case, 11 women and 13 children were shot “on the spot.” Women are committing suicide rather than face the prospect of rape and murder.

A planned evacuation of perhaps 100,000 civilians and rebel fighters from East Aleppo was heralded as a breakthrough on Tuesday, following the abject surrender by all of Aleppo’s remaining rebels — hardline Islamists and democratic patriots alike. By Wednesday morning, the Russian-Turkish understanding had fallen through, the glimmer of hope had flickered out, the barrel bombs and mortar shells were raining down on Aleppo again, and from the people, those gut-wrenching final goodbyes — “Pray for us,” “I hope you can remember us” — were going out to the world again.

Stop calling the Syrian conflict a ‘civil war.’ It’s not.


Doing so gives the Assad regime a veneer of legitimacy and has serious impact on international accountability.

In the past five years, Syria has become many things: a refugee crisis, a regional quagmire, a western nightmare, a terrorist haven, a Russian power play and the core of Iran’s ambitions. To the international community, however, it’s a civil war. The United Nations, Western governments, media and European Union all refer to the Syrian conflict this way. In December 2015, Secretary of State John F. Kerry emphasized the need to end the nation’s civil war.” In September this year, the New York Times published a long explainer on the conflict, answering, among other questions, “What is the Syrian civil war?”

These simplifications are inaccurate and dangerous. They absolve the international community of responsibility, and give Bashar al-Assad a veneer of legitimacy. They liberate Russia and Iran — actively involved with troops in the conflict — from culpability. And they allow internal terrorist groups to justify their involvement and violence.

There is no doubt that civil war is one of the many layers of the Syrian conflict. Local factions are fighting each other. In truth though, this is a war on the people of Syria, carried out by the Assad regime and his allies.

We see that in the violence. According to the Syrian Network for Human Rights, Assad’s forces have killed 95 percent of Syrian victims. Additionally, Assad controls the army, including tanks, planes and barrel bombs. He has shelled areas that witnessed peaceful protests. Assad has used chemical weapons against his own people. He controls the intelligence, security and military apparatus that have diligently and systematically worked since 2011 to arrest, torture and kill all nonviolent activists.


Assad also released dangerous Islamists from prison and allowed them to organize and build armed groups. He did this not by accident, but as a part of a strategy to create a civil war and radicalize what remained of the revolution. His strategy has been to shift the narrative from reform to sectarianism by emphasizing Islamic terrorism, thereby presenting himself as a partner in the global war on terror.

It’s also hard to square the civil war claim with the vast amount of external interference. Faced with a strong resistance from the armed opposition groups, Assad allowed both Iran and Russia in to help him and his regime survive. In fact, Assad’s army is barely fighting today. The fighting force on the ground is mostly Shiite militias, with some Syrian Arab Army battalions — all reporting to Hezbollah and the IRGC and aided by Russian air bombing. Without Iran and Russia, Assad would have been long gone.

'Are you truly incapable of shame?': Samantha Power slams Syrian ambassador
Play Video0:34

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, spoke out strongly Dec. 13 on the deteriorating situation in Syria. After Syria's ambassador denied any mass executions or revenge attacks in the city of Aleppo, Power asked,"Is there literally nothing that can shame you?" (AP)
How can we call this conflict a civil war when the Syrian opposition is rarely fighting Syrian loyalists and instead battling with foreign fighters in its own country? Is it a civil war when all of Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States, and other assorted NATO nations are involved in one way or another?


Calling it a civil war has serious implications on policy. It protects Assad. Assad may be an obnoxious dictator, the logic goes, but a stabilizing one. It also gives the impression that this is an internal conflict, allowing Western powers and international organizations not to take sides. As a result of this inaction, the world witnessed the exodus of Syrian refugees, the castration of U.S. efforts by Russia and Iran and terrorist attacks in European cities.

Equating the killer with the victim has a moral challenge that eventually legitimizes the regime’s crimes against humanity. It also subdues the modern history of Syria that brought Hafez al-Assad to power where the Baath Party and eventually the ruling family refused to allow anyone else in Syria to participate in politics. This regime has always resorted to military solutions and has never chosen negotiations over violence. Today, with Iran commanding the battles in Syria and Russia negotiating with the international community on the future of Syria, what is left of the regime is an image that is only needed to preserve other states’ interest.

This is not a civil war. Only when we stop calling it a civil war, we might be able to understand the history and strategy of the regime, the various layers of the Syrian people, the interests of those who are already intervening, and the significance of accountability.

The Palestinian group which fought with Assad, Hezbollah and Iran in Aleppo

As the world looks on in horror at the horrid attacks on civilians in Aleppo, and as UNRWA tries to portray Palestinians in Syria as innocent victims of the civil war, there are a number of Palestinian militias who are enthusiastically supporting the atrocities of Assad, Hezbollah and Iran.

Liwa al Quds was created in 2012 made of Palestinians who lived in two UNRWA camps near Aleppo. As this March 2015 profile states,

A new organization has appeared alongside the Syrian army in Aleppo fighting the armed takfiris, for after the entry of Hezbollah onto the line of battle and the appearance of ‘Quwat al-Ridha‘, which is considered the core of Syrian Hezbollah, in addition to the National Defence Forces and the Iraqi military formations, a Palestinian faction has appeared fighting under the banner of the Syrian state.

Information indicates that the new formation adopted the name of the Palestinian capital al-Quds as its banner, while it is formed of Palestinian fighters who have lived and live in Syria, having expressed their support for the Syrian state and its army.

The formation, which was established in October 2013 by the engineer ‘Muhammad al-Sa’id’ who is considered its real leader, held the bond of silence and thus its activities were not advertised in media, until the recent battles of north Aleppo countryside where an important military role for them became apparent.

Here is a poster recruiting members from the age of 15:


The Liwa al-Quds leadership announces the opening of a military session: physical fitness, military tactics, martial arts and self-defence, blitz. The length of the training session is 30 days. All who wish to register from age 15 and above should head to the Liwa al-Quds base in the al-Nayrab camp and register from 6 p.m. till 9 p.m., beginning from Wednesday 24 April.

Iranian propaganda has used this Palestinian group and others as proof that Assad is not anti-Sunni, in this report from September when the battle for Aleppo was starting:

The Palestinian pro-Assad, anti-Takfiri Resistance group Liwa al-Quds is among the fighters in Syria that have debunked the myth and propaganda against the Syrian Army is a predominantly Alawiite force. This group has been operating in Aleppo and has been to deal a major blow to Takfiri terrorist groups especially ISIS.

The presence of Liwa al-Quds in the recent victories at Handarat Refugee Camp and al-Kindi Hospital as well as the rapid, lightning-like advancement in other key Aleppo City districts, has dispelled enemy propaganda that the Bashar al-Assad government is anti-Sunni.

Indeed, apart from Liwa al-Quds, other Sunni Palestinian groups are also active in the battlefield against foreign-backed Takfiri terrorist groups. Some of the groups here include Qouwat al-Jalil, the PFLP-GC, Fatah al-Intifada, the Palestine Liberation Army (Palestinian wing of the SAA) and the Palestinian members of the NDF.

Another pro-Assad group is Jaysh al-Tahrir al-Falastini:

Jaysh al-Tahrir al-Falastini is the ‘Palestinian Liberation Army.’ This militia in Syria is led by one Muhammad Tariq al-Khadra’, who characterizes the civil war in Syria as follows: “The vicious barbaric international conspiracy against Syria and the Arab nation aims to redivide and repartition this nation to form weak madhhabist, sectarian and racist entities in conflict with each other, to justify the establishment of the racist entity on the Jewish foundations of the Zionist state, dominating over the Arab nation.”
To be sure, not all Syrian Palestinians support Assad; Hamas famously left Syria when it refused to support him. But there are plenty who not only support Assad's atrocities, but enthusiastically participate in them.

It is worth a reminder that PA President Abbas had the opportunity to save thousands of Palestinians in Syria nearly four years ago, when Israel said they would be allowed into the West Bank, as long as they don't demand to move to Israel itself. Abbas responded coldly, "It's better they die in Syria than give up their right of return."

So far, over 3300 Palestinians have indeed died in Syria, most of them innocent, but hundreds of them fighting with Assad.

Stop posting a bunch of fake propaganda crap. Hitler's propaganda minister would be bashful posting this nonsense. Where do I begin? Firstly, there is no evidence of these so called executions, even with camera phones everywhere.

But what we do have is video of Syrian soldiers helping evacuate civilians. But like I said not one shred of evidence of Syrian soldiers executing children and women which is by itself a rediculus claim cooked up by the west, just like WMD and babies being thrown out of incubators. The Syrian government provided buses for hundreds of "rebels" and their families to leave Aleppo and they pardoned hundreds more that wanted to stay. Yet we are to believe these fairytales of mass executions without evidence.

Now the claim that Assad and Russian starved Aleppo. Actually it was the "rebels", multiple warehouse size building were discovered to have food and medicine. Many civilians came forward and said it was the terrorists that starved the civilians.


As for Russia and Assad purposely killing civilians. This is beyond stupid. I think military resources would be better spent on hitting terrorists, unless you are stupid enough to believe Assad and Russian spend billions on bombing civilians just for fun which is what brain dead western governments and media are reporting. It was actually the "moderates" that kept civilians as hostages and even shot at civilians trying to flee to government held areas.



Lastly it's such a tragedy that Aleppo is free from Al-Quida linked groups like Nusra, Al-Zenki, Army of Conquest, ect. It's a totall tragedy, what will the civilians do now? I mean it's finally peiceful, no sharia courts, beheading, shelling or suicide bombings. Why don't you grab some tissues and go cry with the rest of your brainwashed buddies about the fact that Aleppo is free of Islamic terrorists.

And your muslim world propped up al qaeda and ISIS to counter Assad.

What a wonderful alternative.
It's the opposite. Assad was miserably losing before ISIS came in and started slowly recovering after. ISIS is best thing that happened to Assad in this war. Additional food for though: ISIS command is based on Baath officers (with KGB ties) and large number of fighters from Russia.
