The International 'Aid' for Syria 600 Syrian Were Killed Today, Your Governments (Those Acting In Your Names) ARE WATCHING !
Friends and Colleagues, the preamble of the UN Charter, to which your governments submitted IN YOUR NAMES, says:
"WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom..."
much of your hard-earned tax money goes to support THIS institution, the very institution that has been watching Syrian civilians slaughtered in hundreds every day for the past 2 years...
do not let them use YOU to shield the criminal Assad's regime.
object NOW.
write to your MP, go to the streets, say NO.
cherish your human dignity.
This site is one of the only places I hear this type of news. Sad how most of the world doesn't even care...
Where do you live and what media do you use?
Here in the UK, at least three papers are reporting on Syria this morning - BBC, The Independent and The Guardian. In fact, I would say they report on Syria most days, if not every day.
Does anybody have a short and as unbiased as possible source on how the conflict started, what it is about and who is involved?
Thank you.

But what are our governments supposed to do? Any kind of military intervention is a no-go. Sanctions are already in place and putting in place stricter ones will also increase suffering among the civilian population. There have also been plenty of peace initiatives, but without any success.

Plus those adverts asking for donations every day too. It's false to say no one hears about it and no one cares.
It is certainly true that the conflict in Syria has a lot more attention in the press than basically any other conflict at the moment. Of course, it is also one of the more deadly conflicts right now, so that is completely justified. There are two main problems with reporting about Syria:
It is difficult to report from the country, as it is so dangerous for journalists and the regime does not want too many of them around.
The situation is so opaque and chaotic, it being a civil war with a bazillion is different actors involved.
The situation is so hopeless. Another day with more casualties is simply not news anymore, it has sadly become the norm.
