Syria: Life during the Civil War

What genocide, the only genocide I know of is the one against the Christians, Alawites and Shias by the terrorists?

 

Do you really think the Syrian Army hasn't killed many civilians?

 

There is a lot of war in Damascus. Not in every neighborhood of Damascus but in roughly half of them. If you are talking about the center of Damascus where the palace is, then there are no active battles there, but still within range of terrorist mortars.

Here is some footage of action in Al-Qaboun which is a neighborhood of Damascus

What genocide? Explain to me. Out of 100,000 dead , 55000 are Syrian security forces and Alawites. Oh how evil that Syrian Army is!

Do you think your beloved Saudi dog-wahhabis havent killed civilians?

 

It doesn't matter how many from each side... Its still a senseless slaughter.

 

i had no problems in Syria. Had a good career, my own apartment and many friends. All that is destroyed because some cockroach Saudis decided they want to impose their will on Syria. I promise you the Saudis will not succeed.

 

Syria has NOTHING that Saudi Arabia wants or needs.

 

Saudi Arabia can go to hell. I hope Assad gasses those worthless fat lazy cockroaches. That would be happiest day of my life

 

You think I care what others think, I am not that shallow. I am right and I am politically incorrect.

 

I do not care what Islamo's do. As long as the unjustly murder each other and leave the rest of us out of it, that is A-OK with me.

 

When was the last time you visited Syria? Actually, when was the last time you even left your state?

 

I have been many places where there are Islamo's, and I have nothing but the deepest comtempt for their worthless religion and their traditions of intolerance and murderous injustice. I have seen with my own eyes their merciless actions. I have no compulsion to justify myself to you or anyone else. Just saying.

 

That makes you a full blown Oregonian, right :

Now that I know where you're coming from it fits .

Is it true what they say abt Oregon having its own special inbred type of hillbillies They're so sheltered from reality they might as well be living 10,000 miles from a source of education or culture. Making the inbreeding hillbilly's of the old Appalachians look like Albert Einstein meets Paul Cezanne meets Phillip Roth meets Maya Angelou ?


Oregon is famous for ... SLUGS ?

I thoroughly enjoyed reading about your home state + its inhabitants :

...

 

And people wonder why Americans are despised wherever they go...here's a perfect example folks.

 

No you haven't......

 

I do understand + sympathise with your anger. However , as Syrian I'm sure how quickly the people of that region forgive each other . No lasting enmities (+ friendships ) amongst each other.


THis was abt 3.5 years ago :








WHAT OUTISDE FORCES DROVE THESE TWO APART. ?

 

The murder of Refik Hairiri.

 

Margot , I'm confused by what you're saying

THe photos - meeting between Saudi King Abdullah + Bashar Al-Assad was in 2010

While as I'm sure you know that Hariri was killed a whole five years earlier in 2005


Sorry - but I suspect there was other issues / forces at work behind the scenes , about whic, h the likes of you and I , might come to know about in some distant future, , when it no longer matters. (wink)

 

King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, Bashar Assad
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud, right, is welcomed by Syrian President Bashar Assad, left, as they review Syrian honor guard at al-Shaab presidential palace in Damascus, Syria, Wednesday Oct. 7, 2009. The Saudi monarch arrived in Damascus for a highly significant visit that is the strongest indication yet of thawing relations between the two rival nations following years of tension. King Abdullah's visit on Wednesday is the first by a Saudi ruler since the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, a close Saudi ally.

======================================



Ulterior motives


The Arab revolution has shaken up many countries in the region. The Saudi kingdom has not taken a clear position to date. Saudi Arabia helped Bahrain to crush the uprising there. The Saudis have completely held back from Libya, Tunisia and Egypt. But apparently, Saudi Arabia is now planning an about-face, said Middle East expert Michael Lüders. He said the Saudi leadership wanted to set an example.
"Saudi Arabia wants to have a progressive image and criticizes Bashar al-Assad, and deservedly so, but mainly out of self-interest," Lüders said. "On the one hand, it wants to create a better image of itself in the Arab world. And on the other hand, Syria is a close ally of Iran. And Iran and Saudi Arabia are, as everyone knows, arch-enemies."

The battle between Iran and Saudi Arabia for preeminence in the Middle East started long before the Arab Spring. But now, King Abdullah might sense an opportunity in Syria. Traditionally, the greatest contrasts in the region come together here, more than anywhere else.
The secular Syria is to this day a loyal partner of the Shiite theocracy Iran. A Syria after Assad, a member of the Alawite branch of the Shiites, would most likely be Sunni-led, just like the ruling dynasty in Saudi Arabia. And that, many experts believe, would be in the interest of King Abdullah.
But the Saudi criticism is also significant in that it sends a clear signal to the elite in Syria, said Ayham Kamel, an analyst at Eurasia Group in Washington. He said Gulf governments had until now provided Assad with some measure of diplomatic support by remaining largely silent.
Their shift to condemnation will "signal to the Syrian political and economic elites, especially Sunnis, that they should reconsider their allegiance to Assad," Kamel told news agency Bloomberg.
Financial leverage
If the Saudi King now calls for reforms in Syria, he is skating on very thin ice, though. After all, he himself rejects any change to his absolute monarchy.
"In Saudi Arabia, there have been no significant demands for opening and democracy to date," Lüders said. "But still, the Saudi leadership tightened its laws in April. Criticism of the rulers, the Sharia and the Islamic order of the country has since been subject to additional penalties. King Abdullah has to be careful here that his call for reforms in Syria isn't also heard by the people in Saudi Arabia."
The West and in particular the United States have in any case welcomed the clear response by the Saudis. The political and economic heavyweight in the Arab world has shown Syria's president Assad the red card.
And without financial support, Syria cannot make ends meet, Lüders said. The country's economy is on the verge of bankruptcy and desperately needs support by the Saudis. Saudi Arabia therefore has many possibilities to put pressure on Syria through this financial dependency.
However, Rami Khouri, head of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut, said international pressure would not have an immediate impact on Syria, but will take time. Pressure will build from within as Syria becomes more and more isolated on the international scene, he added. Assad will then have no other option but to look for a way out.
"When they are completely isolated and there is nobody in the world other than the Iranians who are supporting them, then they have a real problem and they have to find a political solution," Khouri told news agency AFP. "But it may be too late."

I don't know why, but I thought that line was funny.

 

That was four years ago before Syria erupted in bloodshed.

 

None the less, I am right. As always.

So? The topic is Syria propaganda and their false face of happiness and peaceful society. In a totally off topic response consisting only of attempted insults of stereotypical ingorence based a worthless wiki page.

 

"Ingorence"

I trust you understand 'irony'?

 

Yes, deluded Arab bravado can indeed be funny at times.
