WHITE HOUSE CONTINUES TO DENY PROPER WEAPONS TO KURDS TO FIGHT ISIS - White House agrees with Muslim countries' historical refusal to give Kurds independence - They would rather see Kurds massacred than well armed.

NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel reported that both Kurdish fighters and American advisers are upset with the lack of support provided by the United States in the fight against ISIS on Friday’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” on MSNBC.

“We went out with Kurdish forces, we went to their newest, most front line position, not far from the Mosul Dam.

 

And while we were there, we saw a very meager base with light weapons, just some berms that were put up made of sand, and the Kurdish fighters were complaining that they are not getting the amount of support they need from the United States.

 

The Kurds really are in this fight, yet they’re complaining they’re not nearly getting the weapons, the training, the manpower, the number of airstrikes, drone support, almost everything you could imagine, to take the battle forward” he stated.

 

Engel continued, “I’ve spoken with some American advisers, they are very frustrated. They feel they were sent here on a mission to help the Kurds, to help fight against ISIS, but the weapons just aren’t coming and that there’s not a full commitment for a variety of geopolitical reasons that means the weapons and the support aren’t coming here.”

 

He concluded that the problem is “we talk about a larger war against ISIS, with a grand international coalition, with Jordan and the Arab world now up in arms after the burning of the pilot. It doesn’t really work that way. You have so many different pieces of the puzzle here.

 

One reason the US denies Kurds the weapons to fight ISIS

 

The Kurds want an independent country, they want Kurdistan, and that’s the reason why the US isn’t sending them a lot of weapons, because Baghdad, which is also fighting against ISIS, sort of, they’re not doing a lot of fighting, they don’t want Kurdistan to be an independent country.

 

The weapons that are supposed to come here are still going through the central Baghdad government, even though Kurdistan really feels like it has nothing to do anymore with the Baghdad government, and that is just one of the complications that we are seeing in this general war against ISIS, the broader coalition.

 

The US is trying to support the Kurds, and give them some weapons, but not give them enough so that they upset Baghdad and give Baghdad the impression that the US wants the Kurds to break away.

 

So, the Kurds are getting some of the weapons, but not enough so that they could arm themselves and break away, which leaves the fight against ISIS hanging in the battle.

 

The Iraqi Army is still incredibly weak, it is still incredibly corrupt, it is viewed as a Shiite militia, increasingly, it is just the Shiite militia who are backed by Iran, that are running the Iraqi Army, not this unified, independent army that is ready to take on ISIS, that is a myth.”

The Daily Mail summary of Kurdish history

Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire the Kurdish population of northern Iraq has suffered at the hands of a series of hard-line rulers.

 

With no country to call their own, Iraqi Kurds have been overpowered in clashes with Turkey, Britain and Iran, and have been systematically persecuted by Saddam Hussein's regime.

Kurds defeated ISIS in Kobane

and regained full control of their city.

The Kurds won against all odds.  The Muslim world was against them.  The West denied them weapons, so as not to upset Muslim countries that want to deny them an independent country.
 
The White House and Britain had to be SHAMED into providing them some assistance bombing ISIS vehicles and buildings - careful not to cause any collateral damage against ISIS terrorists.

Kurds had to rely on themselves - on men, young women and the elderly picking up guns and becoming soldiers to defend their land.  Women, in particular, have been a significant force for the besieged Kurds of Kobane.


It was the Kurds that made the effort to save and protect the Yazidi, another besieged minority under the threat of genocide by ISIS.  The West did nothing.
 
Control over their land, and physical and cultural survival are the key factors in the Kurds fight against ISIS, no matter at what price.

 

It was a fight to the finish

 

Notice how there has been no mention of the Kurds' right to a country of their own, although they are a distinct culture, with their own language, and ancient ties to their land.  There are 70 million Kurds living in territory occupied by Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Iran.

 

This lack of interest in granting Kurds their well-deserved independence is powerful evidence that the pro-Palestinian movement is essentially an anti-Semitic international conspiracy to bully Israelis and deprive Jews of their land. 

 

The international tepid response - or the complete absence of it - to the Kurds' plight will be one of the most shameful chapters of 20th and 21st century history.

ISIS jihadis defeated by the KURDS of Kobane.

America must arm the Kurds,

even if it antagonizes Iran and Turkey

 

By Dr. Robert Sklaroff and Dr. Sherkoh Abbas

 

Obama’s America is cow-towing to the whims of Iran and Turkey, rather than directly helping the Peshmerga in Kurdistan.  The desired boots-on-ground are directly underfoot, yet he refuses to acknowledge the urgent need to assist the Kurds; instead, he keeps “tripping” over their presence.

 

Obama’s apologists alternately say the situation is hyper-complex and freedom-seekers are ultimately doomed. To the contrary, the key-players reveal their motives through their actions (even if utterances are occasionally cryptic), and the pathway to a quality outcome is readily apparent, even if Obama would have to ‘fess-up regarding the existential threat of the global Islamist ideology.

Sporadic US bombing has failed to stop ISIS

 

Because the goals of contiguous countries are averse to those beneficial to America, Kurds must urgently be empowered to champion Western Civilization’s value-system.

 

Iran wants to preserve the Assad government, and has avidly shored-up these state-terrorists with the loyal assistance of the Russians who covet the Tartus port.

 

Tehran wants to forge a Shi’ite pathway to the Mediterranean, and has enlisted support in this endeavor from a Baghdad government that has been set adrift by America’s unilateral retreat.

 

American policy is predicated on a double-blunder—“two sides of the same coin”— one component of which is widely-debated and the other component of which has remained shrouded.

KURDS IN KOBANE SURROUNDED BY ISIS - Thanks to Turkey's informal collaboration with ISIS and the US reluctance to give proper military aid to Kurds - The West, Turkey and the Arabs hoping for the defeat of the Kurds, even if it is through genocide

The West's abandonment of the Kobane and the Kurds

Aftermath of suicide bombing attack in Kobane



• It was no long ago when we saw the pictures of  the Turkish army and their tanks across the border with Syria and within view of Kobane, doing nothing but waiting for ISIS to massacre the Kurds.   
• Turkey has been accused of being a secret ally of ISIS. 
• Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran fear the 30 million Kurds because of their demands for an independent country.  The US has allied itself with those countries and their desire to keep the Kurds oppressed and under occupation.
• The US - with the world's most powerful military - has engaged in only a mild and sporadic bombing of ISIS buildings and vehicles, in what is nothing but a show to pretend to be helping the Kurds, while denying the Kurds proper weapons to defend themselves.
• If the Kurds are massacred, it will be the direct result of the US deliberate inaction to protect them. 
• An intensive US bombing campaign on ISIS in Kobane would have driven them back in a matter of hours.   But the US does not want to defeat ISIS or protect the Kurds.
• The US government has also done nothing while Yazidis, Christians, and other minorities have been tortured, raped and massacred by ISIS - becoming de-facto indirect collaborationists with ISIS.
• The US's government's hope is for ISIS to topple Assad in Syria - at any cost.  He is the last secular tyrant still holding on to power after the Arab Spring uprising. 
• The US government has favored the Muslim fundamentalist takeover of Middle East countries, while turning its back on long-time secular  allies of the US. 
• The US gave its full support to the Muslim Brotherhood rule after the toppling of Mubarak in Egypt, but has shunned the subsequent secular rule by general Al-Sisi.

Daily Mail - Islamic State militants attack Kobane from Turkey for the first time - indicating besieged Syrian town is totally surrounded 

Suicide bomber drove car across border from Turkey, officials have said

Turkish government denied claims that its territory had been used for raid 

Clashes today have killed at least eight Kurdish fighters, said monitors 

ESCAPED YAZIDIS TELL HOW THEY LOST THEIR FAMILIES TO ISIS - Muslims cut the babies' throats and raped and enslaved their mothers - All this happened under the indifferent watch of the US government

They are now under the protection of the Kurds

Kurds themselves are still threatened with genocide by ISIS

While the United States still refuses to directly arm the Kurds

US Secretary of State Kerry even intended to let ISIS massacre the Kobani Kurds

Kerry said the city was of no strategic importance.  Kobani is still under ISIS fire.

An estimated 200,000 Yazidi were forced to flee as ISIS advanced

Thousands were murdered while scores of women were taken as slaves

Some survivors such as Tahsyn lost their entire families as they escaped

Others saw babies murdered and women of all ages being raped

Most now live in refugee camps near Lalesh and Zohar in northern Iraq

Just don't tell these victims that Islamophobia is "racist" 

All this happened under the watch of the powerful United States government

Which is too busy condemning Jews for building homes in Jerusalem.

When they mention the Daesh, that's the local name for ISIS or ISL or Islamic State

This time last year, Tahysn was a happily married father of two little boys aged three and four and lived close to his large, extended family in the village of Shangal in Iraq's Nineveh province.

 

Now, home is a ramshackle refugee camp under the protection of Kurdish peshmerga fighters and he is grieving the loss of his wife and sons.

 

His story is far from unique. Like so many other Yazidis, his family were massacred by ISIS jihadis as they swept through northern Iraq in August. Like them, Tahysn has lost everything.

'When the Daesh (a local slang term for ISIS) came to our village, I was not there but called my family and told them to leave. It was a big shock for everybody. 
 

'They managed to escape the village but on the way to Mount Sinjar, they met Daesh. All of them were killed.'

His eyes glistening with tears, he adds: 'My older brother, my father, my mother, my wife and even my two kids were killed. All I have left of them is just one picture on my mobile phone. 

 

'The Daesh are just savages. They do not respect religion or humanity. They are not humans - even animals have more pity.'

CANADIAN VETERAN SOLDIERS JOINING KURDS TO FIGHT ISIS - THE WEST'S FAKE WAR ON ISIS - The West's shameful refusal to properly arm the Kurdish men and women who are the only ones putting up a real fight against ISIS

• Kurds say the West is still denying them proper weapons
• The reasons are political.  Kurds want an independent state.
• But Mideast countries who are allies of the West don't want to give the 30 million Kurds a country of their own.
• Thus the US would rather let the Kurds be massacred than to properly arm them.
• The US bombings on ISIS so far are for show.  They haven't stopped ISIS and are NOT meant to stop it. 
• The US still hopes ISIS may get to topple Syria's president Assad. 
• US humanitarian aid continues to reach ISIS instead of the Kurds
• Who truly deserves a state, the Palestinians or the Kurds?
• ISIS commanders say they have Turkey's full cooperation for a Kurdish genocide.
• The West knew about ISIS plans for the takeover of the Mideast a long time ago.  Kurds passed information on to Western governments, who did nothing.

CBC - A number of Canadian military veterans say they'll be enlisting with the growing ranks of foreign fighters who have joined the Kurdish battle against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

 

Kurds defending Kobani from ISIS barbaric terror

CBC News has learned of a half-dozen former Canadian Forces personnel planning to join Kurdish troops in the following weeks and months, with some citing what they see as an insufficient military response by Canada to the ISIS onslaught.
 

The earliest any of them said they would head to Iraq, where the Kurdish effort is centred, is next month.

 

"I got put on this Earth to do one thing," said one of the men, who served in Afghanistan and who spoke with CBC on condition he not be identified. "I got this fire in me. I still want to soldier on."
 

At least three other Canadians are known or reported to have already joined the Kurdish forces.  A Kurdish commander told CBC News a Canadian military veteran had recently arrived and is currently on the front lines.

US HUMANITARIAN AID GOING TO ISIS - But little or nothing to KURDS fighting ISIS - The US and the world are also generously giving money to terrorist HAMAS.

 

By Jamie Dettmer

 

Not only are foodstuffs, medical supplies—even clinics—going to ISIS, the distribution networks are paying ISIS ‘taxes’ and putting ISIS people on their payrolls.

Read below how UNRWA, the UN organization established exclusively to deal with Palestinian Arabs,  is staffed by Hamas and serves as surrogate for terror organizations.

 

GAZIANTEP, Turkey—While U.S. warplanes strike at the militants of the so-called Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, truckloads of U.S. and Western aid has been flowing into territory controlled by the jihadists, assisting them to build their terror-inspiring “caliphate.”

 

The aid—mainly food and medical equipment—is meant for Syrians displaced from their hometowns, and for hungry civilians. It is funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development, European donors, and the United Nations.

 

Whether it continues is now the subject of anguished debate among officials in Washington and European. The fear is that stopping aid would hurt innocent civilians and would be used for propaganda purposes by the militants, who would likely blame the West for added hardship.

 

The Bible says if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him something to drink—doing so will “heap burning coals” of shame on his head. But there is no evidence that the militants of the Islamic State, widely known as ISIS or ISIL, feel any sense of disgrace or indignity (and certainly not gratitude) receiving charity from their foes.  

 

Quite the reverse, the aid convoys have to pay off ISIS emirs (leaders) for the convoys to enter the eastern Syrian extremist strongholds of Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor, providing yet another income stream for ISIS militants, who are funding themselves from oil smuggling, extortion, and the sale of whatever they can loot, including rare antiquities from museums and archaeological sites.

WHO TRULY DESERVES A STATE - THE PALESTINIANS OR THE KURDS?

The following column by Victor Sharpe is from 2012, but it is even more relevant today. 

 

It is astonishing how the same world leaders who clamor for the partition of Israel to create another Arab state, are silent regarding the Kurds need for a state of their own, although they are far more deserving than the Palestinians, who have no distinct language, history, or ethnicity than the rest of the Arabs in the region.  Kurds do have distinct characteristics, and all 30 million of them now live as oppressed minorities in several Middle East countries. 

 

Why aren't their voices heard, while the Palestinians capture the world's loving attention? 

Perhaps because the world can't blame Israel for their plight.  

 

 

Who truly deserves a state,

the Palestinians or the Kurds?

 

By Victor Sharpe

 

Kurdish-inhabited areas (Wikipedia) -  There are 30 million Kurds without a state of their own.

 

 

There are over twenty Arab states throughout the Middle East and North Africa, but the world demands, in a chorus of barely disguised animosity towards Israel, that yet another Arab state be created within the mere forty miles separating the Mediterranean Sea and the River Jordan.

 

Israel, a territory no larger than the tiny principality of Wales or the state of New Jersey, would be forced to share this sliver of land with a new and hostile Arab entity to be called Palestine, while seeing its present narrow waist reduced to a mere and suicidal nine miles in width -- what an earlier Israeli statesman, Abba Eban, described as the Auschwitz borders.

 

Remember, there has never existed in all of recorded history an independent sovereign nation called Palestine -- and certainly not an Arab one.  The term "Palestine" has always been the name of a geographical territory, such as Siberia or Patagonia.  It has never been a state.

 

But there is a people who, like the Jews, deserves a homeland and truly can trace their ancestry back thousands of years.  They are the Kurds, and it is highly instructive to review their remarkable history in conjunction with that of the Jews.  It is also necessary to review the historical injustice imposed upon them over the centuries by hostile neighbors and empires.

Dispatch from Turkey/Syria border by Daily Mail's Sam Greenhill with photographs by Jamie Wiseman

You wouldn’t know it from her sweet smile, but the reason why Nesrin Abdi carries a rifle is in case she needs to shoot herself dead.

 

This, she explained matter-of-factly, would be preferable to being captured by the monsters of Islamic State.

 

Fighter Nesrin Abdi in Kobane

Nesrin, a 20-year-old medical student, is by all accounts a happy, well-educated, middle-class young woman with an infectious joy for life.

 

In her home town of Kobane on the Syria-Turkey border, moments of joy are rare, but a photograph captures the triumphant moment three days ago when she was among Kurdish fighters who recaptured a strategic hill from the Islamic State invaders.

 

The jihadis’ sinister black flag was torn down and replaced with a fluttering Kurdish red-and-yellow banner, marking what may well prove a symbolic turning point in the life-and-death struggle for the besieged town.

 

But Nesrin, a doctor’s daughter who has joined an army of women battling to defend Kobane, is aware that every day could be her last.

 

She told me: ‘Everyone knows what happens if IS catches you. For a woman it is rape, followed by beheading. We have all seen the videos of the American and British hostages beheaded in the desert. They will treat us the same.'

THE ALLEGED SECRET DEAL BETWEEN THE US AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES FOR THE MASSACRE OF THOUSANDS OF KURDS AT THE HANDS OF ISIS

By F. Michael Maloof for WND

WASHINGTON, D.C. – A secret decision apparently has been made by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and even Iran to let the strategic Syrian Kurdish town of Kobane on the Turkish-Syrian border fall to ISIS fighters, jeopardizing the lives of some 160,000 Syrian Kurds, WND has been told by a well-placed Middle East expert.

 

In letting Kobani fall to ISIS, the source said, there was agreement “to deal with ISIS later.”

 



The apparent decision aims to diminish the influence of the Kurds in Syria and weaken the prospect of creating a sovereign Kurdistan, which is sought by the Kurds not only in Syria, but in Turkey, Iran and Iraq.

 

“It is a real set up behind the backs of everyone,” the well-placed source told WND.

 

Ankara has brought its tanks up to the Turkish-Syrian border in sight of Kobane but has not committed any troops to stop the ISIS siege of the Kurdish city.

Photo -  US bombing of ISIS-controlled areas in Kobane:  Insufficient, inefficient, and just for show.

 

Meanwhile, the Syrian Kurds have been appealing for arms and ammunition in addition to aerial bombing by the U.S.-led coalition of Arab countries on ISIS positions. Sources on the ground, however, say the bombing has become virtually meaningless, since ISIS fighters have blended into the population, requiring more fighters on the ground.

 

The Syrian Kurds have been fighting ISIS just as their counterparts in Iraq, the Kurdish peshmerga, have been doing to keep ISIS from taking over their territory, which comprises some of the largest oil reserves in Iraq and Syria.

 

The Turks have resisted assisting the Kurds since Ankara for years has been battling the Kurdish Workers Party, or PKK, which seeks to carve out a portion of the border countries to create Kurdistan.

 

For Turkey, the Syrian and Turkish Kurds occupy valuable oil resources sought by the energy-deficient Turks.

 

In addition, the Kurds have an alliance with the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, whom the Turks want to see overthrown in favor of a Sunni-run government.

 

However, ISIS clearly is the only predominant Sunni group in a position to take over, since it already has grabbed much of northeastern Syria and western and central Iraq to form its caliphate, which it seeks to govern under strict Islamic law, or Shariah.

 

For Turkey, an ISIS takeover of Kobane would help split up the Iraqi Kurds from the Syrian Kurds, further diminishing the chance for a united Kurdistan.

 

At the same time, it would give ISIS a northern bridge between Iraq and Syria, which it hasn’t had until now.

 

Consequently, not only will the Turks refuse to commit combat troops, so will the U.S.

 

Because of the Kurds’ ties not only with Syrian President Assad but also with Iran, sources say the U.S. doesn’t want to leave the impression it is bolstering Assad and working with Iran by providing further assistance to the Syrian Kurds beyond aerial bombings.

 

There are questions concerning the extent to which the Iranians went along with the secret deal to let Kobane fall to ISIS.

 

As WND reported, there have been calls in recent days within Iran for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps to assist the Syrian Kurds, prompting demonstrations of support in a number of Iranian cities.

 

As a signal of Iran’s concern, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham warned of a humanitarian catastrophe in Kobane.  “Iran will soon send humanitarian aid for the residents and refugees in this area through the Syrian government,” Afkham said.  Shiite Iran is a major supporter of the government of Assad, a Shiite-Alawite.

 

Iran’s deputy foreign minister for Arab and African affairs, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has made it clear that Iran doesn’t want Turkish troops inside Syria. Iran now is in discussions with Turkey to return some 200,000 Kurds who have fled Syria for refuge in Turkey.

 

At the same time, Amir-Abdollahian made clear Iran “will take any necessary action to help the Kurds in Kobani in line with its support for the Syrian government in its fight against terrorism.”

 

The WND source said Iran’s interest in wanting to help the Kurds is “just a front,” since Iran, like Turkey, has opposed an independent Kurdistan carved out of western Iran, which, like the Kurdish portions of Turkey, Iraq and Syria, have rich oil deposits.

 

Although Tehran wants to show support for the Kurds because of their backing of Assad, it nonetheless may be more concerned about the repeated historical efforts by the Kurds to establish their own Kurdish state. There are strong ethnic, linguistic and cultural ties between the Kurds and Iran. However, Tehran doesn’t want to see the Kurds taking over its western oil reserves.

Turkey providing intelligence and logistic support to ISIS

 

NATO member Turkey is providing direct intelligence and logistical support to the ISIS terrorist organization, according to a senior Egyptian security official speaking to WND.

 

The official said Egypt has information Turkish intelligence is passing to ISIS satellite imagery and other data, with particular emphasis on exposing to ISIS jihadists the positions of Kurdish fighters and the storage locations of their weapons and munitions.  The official confirmed reports that Turkey released ISIS terrorists from jail in a sweeping deal with the jihadist organization that saw the release of 49 hostages from the Turkish embassy in Mosul who were being held by ISIS.

*******************************************************************************

 

THE MORAL BANKRUPTCY AND HYPOCRISY OF THE WEST AND MUSLIM COUNTRIES. - Quick to gang up against Israel, they are now willing to allow the massacre of thousands of Kurds while the US conducts its fake war against ISIS.

With its near complete takeover of Kabane, on the border with Turkey, ISIS is now technically within sight of Europe.   (A small part of Turkey is located within the European continent, so Turkey is considered to be part of Europe.)

 

While the White House, the media, the UN, Europe and Muslim governments clamored against Israel's operation against jihadis in Gaza this summer, ISIS was on a rampage killing Christians and other minorities by the thousands.   Nobody cared.  The world did not want to miss an opportunity to portray the Palestinians as Israel's victims.   
 

The world's pathological obsession with Israel blinds governments and humanitarian organizations to the carnage and brutality happening not only in areas dominated by ISIS, but all over the world.

 

Hardly anyone mentions, for example, that Saudi Arabia (a country regarded as "moderate" by the United States) routinely decapitates those it deems to have broken Sharia Law.    In the month of August alone the Saudis decapitated 19 victims.  Decapitations usually take place at Riyadh's Justice Square, for citizens of all ages to watch.  

 

The Saudis have one of the highest execution rates in the world - about 100 a year - with a population of less than 30 million people.   Other legal punishments include cutting off of limbs, and other barbaric atrocities.  All this done according to the law in a "moderate" Muslim country which is a close ally of the United States.
Turkey, a member of NATO, has accused Israel of genocide. 

As part of its aggressive pro-Palestinian campaign, Turkey has been repeatedly involved in launching flotillas  aimed at breaking the blockade of Gaza.  Their crews routinely include common terrorists.  

 

Today, the apparently "humanitarian" Turkish government has tanks sitting within sight of the Syrian town of Kobane, where Kurds are desperately fighting trying to prevent a massacre. 

 

Photo:  ISIS militants (rear) stand next to an ISIS flag atop a hill in the Syrian town of Kobane , as seen from the Turkish-Syrian border, as Turkish troops stand in the foreground.  They are ready to witness a massacre of thousands of Kurds.  (AFP)

 

The Turkish government has denied Kurds weapons to defend themselves, and has done everything possible to prevent Kurds living in Turkey from crossing the border to fight against ISIS.   

 

Turkey, so 'compassionate' for the Palestinians and so vociferous in its call for a Palestinian state, does not want the Kurds to be better armed out of fear they may use them one day in their quest for a state of their own.

 

So now Turkey is becoming complicit with ISIS ethnic cleansing of Kurds. 

 

And the US and Britain are just as guilty of complicity, as they carry out ineffective and mostly symbolic bombings on ISIS empty buildings and vehicles.

Turkey - along with the US and other Western countries - would much prefer to see the Kurds massacred than give them weapons to defend themselves.    While they demand Israel's partition for a Palestinian state, The US, the EU, the UN and Muslim countries deny 30 million Kurds the right to their own country.

The White House recently dismissed the city of Kobane to ISIS as not strategically important enough to save.  Never mind the imminent massacre of Kurds. 

Add this to previous massacres of Kurds, Yazidis, and Christians.

Death toll of Palestinians in Syria is now 2512

Does anyone care, if they can't blame Israel?

The Action Group for Palestinians in Syria say that the number of Palestinians killed in Syria so far is 2512.

A mortar shell today on a major street in Yarmouk stopped the distribution by UNRWA of food for the besieged group. It is unclear who fired the shell, the Palestinian PFLP-GC group is fighting on the same side as the Syrian regime in the area of the camp.

Another pro-Syrian Army Palestinian group fighting in the cap is called the Al Quds Brigades.

The media seems strangely uninterested in the plight of Palestinians in Syria.

The group also quoted a source as saying that 4,223 Palestinians had managed to be smuggled to Italy in recent months, mostly from Syria and Egypt but also some from Gaza.

This is justice, square and fair in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the most backward regimes in the world. Here, hands are chopped, bodies are decapitated. Torture is common in extracting confessions. The accused have little protection.

THE WEST'S FAKE WAR ON ISIS - KERRY SAYS CITY OF KOBANI NOT A US STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE, while Kurdish families wait to be massacred - The hidden usefulness of ISIS (it kills Kurds who want independence, and may help topple White House's arch-enemy Assad).

• US Secretary of State Kerry:  Kobani not strategically important.
• Kobani Kurds fight against ISIS, but may be ultimately massacred.
• While the West does nothing.
• White House denies weapons to Kurds.
• White House sells $11 billion worth of weapons to Qatar, which finances terrorists
• The fake US-UK war against ISIS.
• Symbolic US bombings on ISIS trucks and empty buildings.
• ISIS serves to ethnic cleanse the Kurds, who want independence
• ISIS serves to weaken Syria's Assad. His departure would clear the way for Islamic rule.
• Turkey, ISIS' hidden ally?

We grew up reading about the horrors of the Holocaust.  How was it allowed to happen, we asked?  It took years for the Nazis to murder 6 million Jews.  It was not a secret.  And yet, nothing was done. 

 

And even as the Allies bombed German cities and other targets, they deliberately ignored pleas to bomb the death camps infrastructure and railroad system leading to them, leaving them intact until the end. 

 

Historians have quoted Allied leaders admitting that they did not want too many Jews to survive because they would become a burden in the aftermath of the conflict.  

In the years following the Second World War we have witnessed several instances of genocide - and have done nothing. 

Young people watching the news today are witnesses to another genocide, the one perpetrated by the Muslim group ISIS.   Yazidis, Christians and Kurds have already been massacred, with many women being raped and enslaved.

 

If your teenager asks you why America, with the most powerful military in the world, is practicing "symbolic bombing" - hitting ISIS empty buildings and the occasional truck - while allowing ISIS to continue to advance with its genocidal campaign, how will you answer him?

IRAQI PLANES DELIVER AMMUNITION, FOOD AND WATER TO ISIS - They say it was a mistake

Air drop blunder sees water, food and ammunition intended for besieged Iraqi soldiers delivered to ISIS militants by mistake 

Furious Iraqi MP says blunder 'helped ISIS fighters to kill our soldiers'

Error blamed on 'wrong plans and lack of experience of Iraqi pilots'



ISIS Muslim terrorists - AFP

Blundering Iraqi air force pilots gave vital supplies of food, water and ammunition to Islamic State militants instead of their own beleaguered troops. 

The aid drops were meant to help Iraqi soldiers desperately fending off jihadist fighters near Saqlawia in the western province of Anbar.

 

Hakim Al-Zamili, an Iraqi MP who is a member of the security and defense committee, said the mistake had effectively allowed ISIS to kill off its besieged soldiers.

SYRIAN REBELS BOMB AND KILL SCHOOLCHILDREN - ISIS DECAPITATES KURDS - US State Department aghast at Jews building homes in Jerusalem

Israel builds new homes for Arabs & Jews in Jerusalem

• School children and rescuers torn to pieces by two Syrian rebel bombs.
• Kurds decapitate Kurdish men and women and display their heads.
• But the State Department harshly criticizes Israelis for building homes in their capital city, Jerusalem. 

Syria school blasts kill 32, including 10 children.  The area is populated by the Alawite sect of president Bashir Al Assad.  That would make it a target for rebel insurgents.  Parents search frantically for children after first bomb goes off; second car explodes as bodies are carted away.

 

Twin bombings near an elementary school in Syria killed at least 32 people on Wednesday, including at least 10 children, with the second blast going off as screaming parents frantically searched for their sons and daughters in a street littered with school bags and body parts. 

 

Syrian children are frequently among the victims of attacks in the country’s civil war, but on Wednesday they appear to have been the target. The first vehicle exploded as children were leaving school, and the second struck as adults carried away bodies, sending a new wave of panic through the crowd.

 

The attack occurred outside the Ekremah al-Makhzoumi elementary school in a government-controlled area of the central city of Homs dominated by minority Alawites, the Shiite offshoot sect to which President Bashar Assad’s family belongs. It was one of the deadliest incidents in the area in months.
