[lbo-talk] Amnesty Calls on UN to stop the US, Qatar and Turkey funding and arming Syria Rebels

[Joseph Catron]

(Whatever you think of this, it's 10,000 times better than Amnesty's
awkward plays on the name "Pussy Riot." Count yourself lucky if you
aren't on that e-mail list.)

"Amnesty researchers have for the first time since the beginning of
the uprising conducted a research mission inside Syria. The full
report reveals the shocking detail of the crimes against humanity
committed by the Syrian rebels and the devastating impact on Syrian
families.

"Amnesty’s visit established a pattern of abuse and collective
punishment used by the rebels against any Syrians who do not comply
with their desire to overthrow the sovereign government for the
installation of an Islamic caliphate.  The Syrian rebels who are
affiliated with Al Qaeda continue to blame the Syrian army for
massacres, despite clear evidence of their involvement in the
massacres."
