"I know that tit for tat revenge killings, “measured responses” & bombings never work...I simply cannot believe that any God or parent wants this to continue"
Before you go any further, there are very disturbing photos
in this blog. Don’t scroll down and then give out to me. You have been warned.
I don’t even pretend to understand the dynamics going on in
Syria at the moment. To delve into and understand the Israeli/Palestinian
conflict is even a bigger can of worms. Of course, they are all linked on many
levels. With fake news, falsified reports and doctored photographs it’s hard to
tell.
What we know. The place: Douma in Syria. The date: 6th
& 7th April 2018.

Dozens of Syrians choked to death after a
suspected chemical attack struck the rebel-held suburb of Douma, east of
Damascus, with aid groups on Sunday blaming President Bashar al-Assad’s
government for the assault. (NYTimes)
·
A stream of patients with burning eyes and
breathing problems were rushed to clinics after the attack at dusk on Saturday,
medical and rescue groups said. (NYTimes)

workers tell of apocalyptic scenes (Guardian)
·
The attack, the victims of which exhibited
symptoms that doctors say are consistent with exposure to organophosphorus
(Guardian)
·
Rescue workers said victims showed symptoms that
included suffocation, central cyanosis – a blueish discolouration of the skin –
foaming, corneal burns and the emission of a chlorine-like odour
(Guardian)
We also know this is not the first time chemical weapons
have been used, in 2013 the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Civil War has been confirmed by the United Nations and one year ago 70 people were killed in Khan Sheikhun by the use of Sarin gas.
What is clear is that a war is being fought and innocent
children are being hurt and killed. We know that Russia and America are involved.
This is wrong. I know it. I don’t understand everything
going on, but, I am 100% positive that this is wrong. Parents should not have
to watch their children going through this. I also know that tit for tat
revenge killings, “measured responses” & bombings never work. I know this because
our own country had many years of it and eventually both sides decided to end
the violence. Whichever side of the conflict you support and whoever you decide
to believe, we should all agree that scenes like these are EVIL and WRONG. I simply
cannot believe that any God or parent wants this to continue.
Enough of me preaching; look at these photos and you decide
how this can be justified.
A just war my arse. A holy war my bollix. This is plain and simple. It's EVIL and
WRONG.
Here endeth the lesson.
