courtneyh 9 months agoThank you for your insightful link. In an attempt to “better inform myself” I looked into said link and learned not only that the hospital involved in bombing “used to be for people, and is now being used by Assad forces” (mysteriously no mention of prior civilian hospital patients) but also that your linked report that was meant to inform me “cannot be independently verified”. Which is understandable, as Assad’s regime has restricted out of state media as well as life saving aid convoys from entering Syria.
The innocence lost in war proves that nobody wins. And you’re right, I thankfully am not in Syria. That in no way inhibits my ability to speak up for civilians protesting for their political rights, human rights and freedom against a dictator that is using helicopter gunships, fighter jets and machine guns agains them. :)
HOT ON

RyRyan 9 months agoYou have no problem accepting reports about Assad’s forces killing innocent people even though they also can’t be independently verified. And, are you sure it’s *only* Assad’s forces occupying the hospital? The article can’t verify it. I don’t support Assad, who I think should be removed, or the “rebels”, I support the innocent people who want a better Syria for everyone there. Unfortunately both sides have killed innocent people and according to most media outlets, some proven to have faked images of massacre in Syria, it’s Assad’s forces that seem to be doing all of it and almost every article ends with “cannot be independently verified”. If an article said “Assad’s forces claim that rebel forces have murdered hundreds of innocent civilians.” Would you accept that or support them after reading it? Or would you question its validity? Why only accept or question one side of the argument?
