'People are being
killed every day': Life trapped inside 'Hell on Earth'
Put the blame squarely where it belongs.
And that is on the United States, Israel, and Saudi Arabia -
paymasters and service providers for terror.
And by the way, for a long period, Britain and France were
willing helpers. Cameron used to pretend to bomb ISIS while bombing Syrian
infrastructure to, in effect, help them. France did the same.
It is absurd for any newspapers to charge Syria’s national
government in this horror of East Ghouta.
It is still a fairly popular government, supported by a
majority, and it is a government which defends religious minorities.
They are fighting well-equipped, bloodthirsty foreign-paid
mercenaries.
Just what would Westminster do with huge gangs of well-armed
foreign thugs holding a British city captive?
Good God, we hear a huge amount of noise over just a few
returning ISIS volunteers.
And I recall the bloody efforts against the IRA.
Further, what does Israel do when some poor frustrated
people held in Gaza send some over-sized fireworks in protest into Israel,
something involving no genuine threat to the state and certainly no threat from
outside?
They kill them, by the thousands with jets and bombs and
tanks, and then hold them without any access to repairs or services, leaving
them to suffer interminably.
