Idlib under fire
September 30, 2017
The images and clips of last night's rain of hell on Syrians defy description. Dozens, of which many small children, were crushed under rubble in Armanaz, Idlib, and elsewhere in the desolate, God-forsaken areas where Syrians have been left to die, at the mercy of their exterminators' relentless airstrikes.
Some children cried for help while others will never make another sound, their tiny bloodied, limp bodies carried out by our heroic White Helmets rescuers. The scene of one father trying to pull out his small daughter as she sobbed and screamed in terrified agony will make the toughest of you break down uncontrollably.
Intense Russian airstrikes have not only continued in Syria, unabated, but have in fact intensified in the so-called de-escalation zones. If you're not Syrian, you probably haven't heard about it because when atrocities and massacres are not committed by ISIS or "the West," they barely merit a mention any longer, and self-righteous, anti-imperialist defenders of "causes" and assorted human rights can pretend not to have noticed these "alleged" incidents as Putin and Assad defend themselves from terrorists like this one.
Idlib, to where tens of thousands have been forcibly transferred by the Assad regime, is being annihilated like Aleppo before it. Bloody murder, on a scale unimagined, unprecedented and unparalleled. The Syrian genocide goes on, and on, and on.
