Op de website van de Volkskrant geen enkel boos opiniestuk over wat de Syrische regering haar volk aandoet. Ook in de actualiteitenrubrieken valt de aandacht voor Syrië tegen. Ondertussen blijkt uit onderstaand bericht dat de situatie er onhoudbaar is. Waar blijven de boze demonstraties van Arabieren die solidair zijn met hun onderdrukte broeders in Syrië? Alleen vanuit Egypte werden sympathiebetuigingen gemeld. Vergelijk dit met de storm van verontwaardiging en de woedende reacties na een Israelische aanval in de Gazastrook.

Daraa, Syria worse off than Gaza ever was
Posted: Mon, 09 May 2011 20:48:00 +0000
Here's a roundup of the latest from Daraa, Syria, from Now Lebanon.
By any objective measure, the residents of Daraa are being treated by their own government worse than Gazans were treated by their sworn enemy during a war.
Where are the flotillas? Where are the human rights activists? Where are the anguished op-eds?
As of this writing (11:00 AM EDT) , Syria is not one of the top 14 stories listed at MSNBC. It didn't make the top 30 stories at Reuters. It was number 19 at Fox News (a story from Friday.)
May 8: Twitter user @SyrianJasmine tweets that Daraa is in need of food, medicine and milk for children, and so far there are 6,000 detainees being held in schools.
May 9: Daraa is still under siege and the army and tanks are on the streets in Daraa al-Mahatta. The situation is slightly improved, since women are being allowed to go down to the market for three hours, but there is nothing in the market. The shops are all closed. Electricity is only available for three hours per day at the most. There is water available in Daraa al-Mahatta. Telecommunications are cut in the entire province of Daraa without exception. Electricity, water, food, and communications are still cut in Daraa al-Balad. Trash is lying around uncollected and the snipers are still deployed in the mosque minarets and on buildings' rooftops. The army and security forces have not withdrawn from Daraa.
By any objective measure, the residents of Daraa are being treated by their own government worse than Gazans were treated by their sworn enemy during a war.

De hele wereld kan alles wat er in het MO gebeurd geen zier schelen omdat er geen Joden bij betrokken zijn. Met uitzondering van economische belangen zoals in Libië. Het zijn de grote bedrijven die de aanval op Libië sturen om hun investeringen veilig te stellen.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIn het geval van Gaza en de Westbank is de wereld wel geinteresseerd omdat er dan Joden bij betrokken zijn, en ja die kunnen zij dan bashen !
