When Al Qaeda does attack again & Trump blames all Muslims, remember it was US policy that resurrected the group http://www.alternet.org/grayzone-project/us-support-syrian-rebels-drove-refugee-crisis …

This is from Sept 2016, a sample of 2000 refugees, 90% of which are Sunni. 39% said they supported the government.

Any mention of Shia victimization is taboo; it is unprogressive, Islamophobic, and it is "disempowering" to Sunnis.

CNN reporter calls bus bombings that killed scores of Shia civilians a "hiccup" http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/15/middleeast/syria-evacuations-bombing/index.html …

I somehow continue to be stunned by the level of ignorance major media outlets espouse and spread about Syria.
The majority of Syria is Sunni. Very few are Shia. Sunnis are well represented in the regime & are crucial to Assad's base of support.
CNN report falsely claims supporters of Syrian govt are "predominantly Shia" and that today's attack was "a hiccup"
It does matter when they are being hunted and killed for their identity across the region.

4 months ago "rebels" burned evacuation buses meant for Foua/Kafraya & can be heard saying "We will burn anyone who comes to transport them"
And media will treat his claim as credible. Opposition could say Assad dropped a nuke on premature babies & Western press would print it

Shame on #Qatar and her allies that this filth is allowed to be broadcast on Arab world's premier TV Station

The terrorist attack happened in an area controlled by rebels, they are refusing to hand over the injured to be treated in Aleppo

"Shia militiamen"? Children's blood hasn't dried from the ground yet you shameless heartless dipshit.

An extremist Syrian cleric who lives in Saudi Arabia singled out civilians in besieged Shia-majority villages Kefraya & Fua as human shields
Rania Khalek Retweeted
Think about this, someone woke up today and thought blowing up those children was a good idea, think about it

Qatar state TV anchor @kasimf of @AlJazeera openly called on rebels to ethnically cleanse and wipe out shia civilians few months ago.

GRAPHIC
@IvankaTrump is this heartbreaking enough for you? I guess US media won't show you this since it doesn't fit their agenda.
Rania Khalek Retweeted
Look how easily American regime media baited Trump into bombing Syria
The blood of Syria's persecuted minorities is cheap to the western observer.
Compare the media's outrage over Khan Sheykhoun to the media yawning over blowing up Shia civilians from Fua and Kefraya.
Besieged Shia towns. This was an attack targeting Shia civilians. Your referring to them as "loyalist" downplays the sectarian nature of it

How to tweet like a piece of shit 101
The victims' corpses haven't been moved yet but go ahead and spout bullshit about "retribution".

Wrote 15 months ago on how media reports largely ignore Shia-majority Syrian villages besieged by Qaeda. Still true

Meanwhile in free #Idlib ,women rights have been taken to a whole new level
Death toll from attack on Shia civilians in Syria rises to 70, including 39 children
Al Jazeera doesn't even bother to mention that the civilians targeted are Shia. Only appears once in the subheading
BBC waits until 24th paragraph to tell readers that the victims are Shia civilians who were besieged by al Qaeda
Rania Khalek Retweeted
The rebels also attacked a convoy in December seeking to evacuate sick, wounded & elderly from Fua and Kefraya
Rania Khalek Retweeted
Fua and Kefraya have been targets of genocidal forces that seek the erasure of Syria's minorities. The US & its allies arm and train them.
Rania Khalek Retweeted
See what Shia villagers of Fua & Kefraya have endured under siege by rebels supplied by the West & and its allies

This is the same network that afforded a senior member of Nusra (al-Qaeda in Syria) a prime time platform to rebrand the group as "moderate"
This was an attack on Shia civilians who were under siege by al Qaeda rebels for being shia.
Rania Khalek Retweeted
The scene of the massacre of dozens of Shi'a civilians at the hands of Western-backed terrorists in #Syria's Aleppo.
Rania Khalek Retweeted
Attack on Foua and Kefraya evacuees in rebel held #Aleppo countryside seriously sick. Evacuees usually children, elderly, injured and sick.
The reason the pro-interventionists are so devoted to silencing us is bc they're rightfully worried that what we say will resonate w/ people
We were very well received and afterwards lots of people thanked us for helping them understand the conflict in Syria.
