Let's take a closer look at her bad journalism.
The heartbreaking scenes show little ones finding fun even while their people are being maimed and killed by forces loyal to Bashar Al-Assad in Syria.First of all "their people" are not entirely "their" people. Eastern Aleppo is held by al-Nusra and its affiliates. Many of its fighters are foreigners. Second, if by "their people", McCrum means Syrians, she neglects to mention that al-Nusra is also maiming and killing Syrians. That's the reason the Syrian army is fighting them - i.e., to protect real Syrians from Western-backed jihadis. Third, no mention of the fact that al-Nusra cut off the water supply to 1.5 million civilians in western Aleppo.
The rebel stronghold has been battered by renewed airstrikes over the past week, with two hospitals destroyed and food supplies growing shorter for tormented residents."Rebel" = al-Qaeda. Remember that, because shills like McCrum conveniently forget it. No sourcing is provided for the claim that two hospitals have been "destroyed". (Recall: Propaganda fail: Aleppo hospital receives 46 patients, 4+ months after it was "destroyed", "collapsed".) Also, no mention is made of the fact that al-Nusra uses some hospital facilities as bases. Even if the hospital has no doctors or patients, it's easy enough to claim a hospital has been destroyed - technically it's true, but it can be entirely misleading.
Every day aid convoys are not allowed to pass to help with the suffering.Notice the passive voice. Al-Nusra has publicly said they will reject aid convoys that will not pass through al-Nusra-held territory. What aid they do let through is then hoarded and sold to civilians at hugely inflated prices. Great guys, those "rebels".
At first the Syrians did refuse to allow many aid trucks into eastern Aleppo, for the simple reason that the "rebels" had refused to leave the Castello road as they were required to do under the failed ceasefire. This prompted the Syrians to retake the positions they had abandoned during the initial days of the ceasefire. But today, the Russian ambassador to Syria says, "It was hard. We had been discussing it for a long time, but at last they [the Syrian government] agreed. They implemented their part of Geneva agreements relating to the Castello road issue." Ambassador Kinshchak:
All those [necessities currently held in western Aleppo] could have been delivered to the territory controlled by militants. The Syrian government is ready for that. The militants inside [the besieged area] deny to accept humanitarian aid. I think their logic is the following: the worse, the better. The worse are the populations' conditions; the louder may be their cries about the tragedy...Back to the Mirror:
But the government and its allies have unwittingly left a makeshift swimming pool for those too little to understand what fresh hell they are facing.No mention of the hell being faced by those on the other side of the front line - from "indiscriminate" gas canister bombs, mortar shells, snipers...
Radiologist Mohammad Abu Rajab works at the M10 hospital and told Reuters: "The warplane flew over us and directly started dropping its missiles... at around 4 am. Rubble fell in on the patients in the intensive care unit."Notice that Rajab doesn't say if the hospital was targeted. In the original Reuters story it even says: "There were no initial reports of casualties there." If it was directly targeted, there would be casualties - lots of them.
The fact is, the residents of Aleppo never supported al-Nusra in the first place. They were invaded and occupied. The Syrian government offers amnesty to all Syrian militants. They don't even have to surrender - they are allowed to leave with their weapons as long as they go to another "rebel"-held region. Civilians are free to leave too. The problem is, al-Nusra doesn't let them. Those that want to leave have to pay money, and those that don't pay risk being shot by Nusra snipers as they attempt to make their way to the checkpoints administered by the Russians and Syrians.
Restoring full government rule to western Syria - where nearly all of the population were residents before the start of a conflict that has since made half of Syrians homeless - caused a refugee crisis and contributed to the rise of Islamic State.Wow. Restoring government control caused the refugee crisis and the rise of ISIS? This journalist is delusional. Restoration of government control is the one thing preventing an even worse refugee crisis. And the only reason ISIS was able to "rise" was because the government was fighting an army of foreign-backed jihadis.
For an idea of what's really going on in Syria, just watch this recent report from Syrian Girl:
And the latest updates from South Front:
Western media reporting is abysmal. Another example: RFE/RL tells us:
A Syrian opposition monitoring group that tracks Syria's civil war says a year of Russian air strikes have killed more than 9,364 people, including more than 3,800 civilians, in the war-torn country.But they neglect to point out that this "group" is one guy living in Coventry getting his information from al-Nusra and other unverifiable sources:
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on September 30 that the toll includes 3,804 civilians, among them 906 children, in addition to rebel fighters seeking to topple the Moscow-backed Syrian government.
The group added that the strikes killed 2,746 members of the Islamic State extremist movement and 2,814 fighters from other rebel Islamist groups.
- Propaganda spin cycle: 'Syrian Observatory for Human Rights' is funded by US and UK governments
That young children in a war country, to seek some pleasure from the constant barrage of god only knows what munitions are dropped on there country have to resort to bathing in a missile crater to seek some momentary pleasure. I think the above image says it all.
Now we have the US using the rhetoric of Washington in the recent tirade against Assad that he is bombing it own people.
Really! Get real here, has any leader ever bombed there own people back to the stone age, if it did happen, I missed the 6 O clock news at that time and it was then deleted by the MSM.
And now the State department is threating Russia, thanks to one of there spokes persons (I will not dignify him by giving a name) now threatens Russia and saying something stupid about the Russian Military going home in body bags.
What insanity is this, why should such rhetoric be allowed and accepted in a civilized world and nobody says a word.
Why is it that one nation comes to the aid of another country that has been invaded by a malignant force is now demonized by the rest of the world.
I don't know about you, but I would consider it a friend indeed, a friend that will put themselves on the line. How many of can claim such loyal friends.
But this is not just about common friendships, this also concerns us, the people of the World, if we miss this chance, we will all be bombed back into the stone age, whether it be financially, in the social structures of our societies, and the way we live our lives in general, we will be living the world of 1984.
