According to the Human Rights Watch (HRW), 59 civilians were killed, including 33 children, in an apparent Russian air strike in Syria. Except, this is the HMW talking here. So it is perfectly safe to flip reverse the claim, giving us: 59 civilians were killed, including 33 children, in a dream Ken Roth had one night after battering a bottle of Jack Daniels.
Russia/Syria: Possibly Unlawful Russian Air Strikes
(New York) - At least two air strikes in northern Homs on October 15, 2015, that local residents believed to be Russian, apparently violated the laws of war. The air strikes killed a total of 59 civilians, residents said, including 33 children and a commander of the local armed opposition group. Russia should investigate the attacks.Well, first of all, New York doesn't have the greatest journalistic reputation in the world. In fact, that's where Mr Roth resides. How can one 'apparently' break the law? Who was it who dropped White Phosphorous on Fallujah, Agent Orange in Vietnam and Depleted Uranium in Libya? Oh that's right, America and NATO. As there are no interviews with the 'local residents', we'll just have to take the HRW's word for it (or not). 'Russia should investigate the attacks'? Okay, they have been investigated. They never happened. Now, about Vietnam, shall we investigate that?

The Middle East Eye suffers from split-personality disorder when it comes to reporting on Syria. Just when one thinks it is safe to classify them as 'reliable', they ruin things by toeing the 'barrel-bomb' line. In this article, however, they state the obvious - that Ahrar al-Sham, like Jaish al-Fatah, is just a fancy rewording of 'Al Qaeda'.
Ahrar al-Sham's apocalyptic vision for Syria and beyond
Despite claims that Syrian rebel group Ahrar al-Sham is taking a 'moderate' turn, its leaders still pursue a sectarian vision for the regionThe thing is, the war in Syria has nothing to do with Sectarianism. The American plan, courtesy of Tel Aviv, is to stoke tensions in the region between Shia's and Sunni's so that they kill each other. But if we are to 'play the game' as it were, they are certainly not 'moderates'. They chop off heads, they eat organs, they execute civilians after rape and torture. Ahrar al-Sham is Qatar's stake in the game, and recent indications show that they may overtly start to arm them as a 'warning' to Russia.
