****MASSACRE*** THIS IS AS HORRIBLE AS IT COMES. ASSAD’S FORCES SHELL A BUSY STREET. Aleppo (Bustan Al Qasr): Dec 3, 2012 - The scene is horrific by any measure, even when comparing it to other massacres in Syria, which is now not only a daily occurrence, but one that happens several times a day across the entire country.

As the cameraman approaches the scene we see body after body of people on the ground. Some are dead, some are dying and some are injured. Chaos ensues as locals try to help the injured. There are no ambulances, fire trucks, police, paramedics or rescue crews coming. Assad forbids them.

As we see more blood and more body and more limbs we come across a man who is still alive, he rolls from his back to his stomach on top of broken glass, he raises his hands in the air and almost attempt to get up, he is probably deep in shock and does not realize that both of his legs have been blown off. With the lack of proper medical facilities in Aleppo, he will most likely die from his injuries as there are not enough doctors and not nearly enough medicine or equipment to treat the injured.

As long as the world watches silently … As long as Russia is allowed to feed the massacre machine known as Assad’s army … As long as ‘humanity’ allows this to happen … then innocent Syrians will die a painful, miserable and agonizing death every single day.

This is a video of the aftermath as an activist explains what happens (video here)

This video was taken this past Friday (Nov 30th) when they came out to protest despite the shelling (video here)

Meme created by John Brown. Roni Daniel, the Military Commentator of Channel 2, Israel’s most-watched TV station, is the most warmongering of all warmongering reporters. The caption reads: “Exclusive interview with the Commander of the Military Wing of Channel 2, which opposes the ceasefire.”

globalvoices:

The State of Israel is constructing a concentration camp. Correction: the State of Israel has constructed concentration camps in what it refers to in official memos as “Stay Facility Nachal Raviv” and “Ktziot Prison. There, some of the refugees from Sudan and Eritrea will be housed in temporary tents or containers refitted to house humans, exposed to the elements ahead of the coming winter, in greatly crowded conditions with poor sanitation, and without social or mental care. In these facilities, women, men, children, including babies, will be jailed for an indefinite time. Yes, the State of Israel will jail infants whose only crime is that their parents sought a life for them.

In June 2012, Israel began implementing the amendment to the Anti-Infiltration Law according to which all asylum seekers who cross the Israel-Egypt border are automatically jailed or subjected to internment for a minimum period of three years without trial.
