Syria Rebel Eats Man’s Heart Video

In Middle east, videos on May 15, 2013 at 16:34

Couple of days back I posted blogs on the genocides of the World and White genocide in South Africa.

there I mentioned that u was not mentioning Syria as i was confused as to who was fighting whom.

There have been reports that the Syrian Rebels were using Sarin gas on people.

Now comes the report of  rebel eating a man’s heart.

Gruesome.

Much as one would detest the US interfering in the affairs of other Nations’ affairs, I think this country warrants it.

There seems to be nobody else.

Scroll down for video.

Story:

A man said to be rebel Khaled al-Hamad shown in a Youtube video in April.

The heart eater,Khaled al-Hamad

A graphic video allegedly showing a Syrian rebel cutting out the heart of a dead pro-government fighter and biting into it has sparked outrage, reviving concerns about the makeup of opposition forces as Western nations bolster support for fighters on the ground.

The rebel has been identified as Khaled al-Hamad, nicknamed Abu Sakkar, a commander with the Farouq Brigades, based in the central city of Homs and one of the most prominent and organised groups fighting to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

The mutilation of corpses is considered a war crime.

The video shows a man bending over a body and cutting open the chest with a knife before standing to face the camera with an organ in each hand.

“I swear to God we will eat your hearts and your livers, you soldiers of Bashar the dog,” he declares, before lifting the dead man’s heart to his mouth and biting it, to shouts of “God is great.”

The authenticity of the footage could not be independently verified.

The chilling scene points to the increasingly sectarian nature of the Syrian conflict, which has been marked by revenge killings along religious lines, and highlights complications in efforts to assist fractured opposition military groups.

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced during a visit to Washington that his government would double military support to rebels; the Obama administration in February announced its first cautious foray into providing direct non-military assistance to opposition forces.

Human Rights Watch said a longer version of the video, which it has obtained but which has not been publicly circulated, includes a slur against Alawites, the minority sect to which Assad belongs.

Killing Spree In Village Syria Videos

In Middle east on May 6, 2013 at 22:33

I recently posted a Photo Essay on Genocides in the World, two posts on the” farm attacks” and the killing of Whites in South Africa.

I did not mention Syria as I was confused as to who was killing whom.

Even now I am not clear on this.

The fact is Human lives are lost to crazy people.

Killings in Syria

Massacre in Syria

Story:

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Syria’s Violations Documentation Center have reported that “large scale massacre” occurred in the Syrian coastal village of al-Bayda near Baniyas. They believed deaths could have exceeded 100.  According to the Daily Beast, many of those killed appeared to have been “summarily” executed by shooting or stabbing.

It is difficult to assess the number of casualties that occur in Syria — a country that has a suffered a devastating two-year-long civil war. The latest estimated toll as of mid-February according to the United Nations quantifies at least 70,0000 deaths but the lack of media access in Syria makes it difficult to get the full picture of the carnage.

Many people have reverted to the Internet to document eye-witness reports for the devastation. A YouTube channel dubbed “Translator Syria” has posted a bloody video called “Martyrs of the Massacre d’Al-Baida. Syria: 03/05/2013.” This is believed to be footage taken after today’s massacre.”

All Is Not Well In Bahrain

In Middle east on February 20, 2013 at 19:01

Bahrain seems to be idyllic.

But there seems to be simmering discontent among the populace about the repressive rule .

It is a ticking time bomb, it might explode at any time.

The same applies to Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Under the glitter they are boiling.

Violence in Bahrain

Violence in Bahrain

The second anniversary of Bahrain’s popular uprising was marked by renewed violence, resulting in the death of a 16-year old boy. In the video, filmed right after the teenager’s death, a desperate protester can be seen risking his life to stand up to the police.
The victim’s name was Hussein al-Jaziri. According to opposition websites, the teenager was killed by fragmentary bullets. Overwhelmed by this death, which he had just witnessed, a protester walked up to police and screamed at them. The policemen tried to intimidate him, but seemed thrown off balance by the protester’s daring.
This footage exemplifies the standstill at which the Bahraini opposition finds itself, faced with unyielding government repression. Since the start of the uprising, the confirmed death toll has risen to 82 protesters, including nine children.
Bahrain, a primarily Shiite country (Shiites make up about 75% of the population), is ruled by a Sunni monarchy. Since February 2011, members of the Shiite community, who claim they are discriminated against, have frequently protested in the streets.

Human Rights Violations.

Publication of a Judicial Observation Mission Report

19 Feb 2013

The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, a joint programme of the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT), publishes today a report, which presents findings of a judicial observation mission conducted on the trial in appeal of prominent human rights defender Nabeel Rajab. The report concludes that a series of violations of the right to fair trial marred the judicial process and that Mr. Nabeel Rajab is suffering judicial harassment for merely advocating for and exercising the right to peaceful assembly in Bahrain.

Read full report

While February 14, 2013 marks the second anniversary of the start of pro-democracy protests in Bahrain, Mr. Nabeel Rajab, Deputy Secretary General of FIDH, President of the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights (BCHR) and Director of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR), remains detained in Jaw Prison, serving a two-year prison sentence. On December 11, 2012 the Appeals Court in Bahrain confirmed his conviction on charges of calling for and participating in peaceful gatherings on three occasions. As of today, he has been in detention for 217 days.

The Observatory sees the detention and sentence of Mr. Nabeel Rajab as arbitrary and solely aimed at sanctioning and preventing his human rights activities. Indeed, Mr. Rajab has been targeted for his tireless efforts at highlighting gross human rights violations in Bahrain, in particular since the beginning of the popular uprising in the country in February 2011 through the use of Twitter, Facebook, and other social network tools and media outlets as well as his participation in public gatherings.

“Mr. Rajab’s trial reflects Bahrain’s policy and practice of criminalising the exercise of the right to freedoms of association, expression and peaceful assembly and silencing human rights defenders and other dissenting voices” declared Gerald Staberock, OMCT Secretary General.

Between September and December 2012, the Observatory carried out four missions to Manama to monitor the hearings of Mr. Rajab’s trial. The report recounts the details of these missions and demonstrates that the trial in appeal against Mr. Nabeel Rajab failed to comply with international standards of fair trial. “The entire procedure was fraught with serious human rights violations from the time of arrest, through detention, trial and conviction” said Souhayr Belhassen, FIDH President.

Mr. Nabeel Rajab was initially detained on July 9, 2012 for his participation in “illegal” assemblies in January, February and March 2012 during which the authorities alleged that acts of violence were committed by some participants. Said gatherings were organised to call for the release of human rights defenders and political activists, to denounce corruption, to call for political and economic reforms, to denounce human rights violations and to call for a fair distribution of wealth and an end to torture.

Voice Against Israel’s Aggression Is Not Anti Semitism

In International relations, Israel, Middle east, News on January 18, 2013 at 06:25

Any criticism of Israel whenever it indulges in activities which may be termed as  ’terrorist’, is attacked with the inundation that it is ‘Anti Semitic’

Read the following story from Der Spiegel.

 

Germany collaborated with Israel for building a Submarine for carrying Nuclear Missile .

 

The investigative reporter who did that article is immediately snubbed as Anti Semitic .

 

DPA German journalist Jakob Augstein.

DPA German journalist Jakob Augstein.

Given the rising trends of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel resentments in German society, it’s probably helpful to focus on the effects of this new quality and tone of Israel criticism in the public discourse. Even Günter Grass may wholeheartedly believe it’s his life’s last mission to communicate Israel’s danger to the world out of love and friendship for the Jewish people and their state. The effect of this trend on media consumers, however, is more important than the motives of more or less relevant individual authors.

Last June’s cover story in SPIEGEL on the German-Israeli submarine deal is an example: ‘Should Germany, the country of the perpetrators, be allowed to assist Israel, the land of the victims, in the development of a nuclear weapons arsenal capable of extinguishing hundreds of thousands of human lives?’ … ‘Should Germany, as its historic obligation stemming from the crimes of the Nazis, assume a responsibility that has become ‘part of Germany’s reason of state?” The subtext is clear: 1. Israel plans to wipe out the Iranian people and thus is equal to the Third Reich. 2. Germany is pressured into this because of the Holocaust.”

The systematic and subtle manipulation of this sort in reports about Israel — whether skillfully staged or unintentional, to a large extent explains why, according to a study on anti-Semitism in German society recently commissioned by the Bundestag (the federal parliament), almost 40 percent of Germans claim that ‘Jews try to take an advantage out of the Third Reich History;’ why 44 percent say they ‘understand that one dislikes Jews, when looking at Israel’s policies.’”

The point in italics is 100 % true.

Israel seems to believe that their sufferings entitle them to indulge in the crimes they have accused of others!

To avenge the sufferings, as it were, the Israelis have a made People with out motherland(Palestinians) , who(Arabs) were the people  throughout the History of the persecution of the Jews were the most tolerant in comparison.

The common belief that the Jews are/were Lily white is erroneous.

If they were why is it they were singled out by nearly all the cultures?

Referring to Mythologies might soothe their conscience.

http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/ronen-bergman-on-the-conflation-of-criticism-of-israel-with-antisemitism-a-877479.html

Gaza is a place out of the end of times,” Augstein writes in one of the lines quoted by the Wiesenthal Center. “1.7 million people live there on 360 square kilometers. Israel incubates its own opponents there.” Other lines chosen to illustrate the journalist’s alleged anti-Semitism state that US presidents “must secure the support of Jewish lobby groups” and that “the Netanyahu government keeps the world on a leash with an ever-swelling war chant.” Augstein writes that “Jews also have their fundamentalists, the ultra-orthodox Hareidim,” who are “cut from the same cloth as their Islamic fundamentalist opponents.” And he calls “the US Republicans and the Israeli government” insane and unscrupulous.

Perhaps predictably, the inclusion of Augstein, son of SPIEGEL’s founding editor in chief Rudolf Augstein, on the list has launched yet another national debate in Germany about the contours of anti-Semitism and how far one can go when criticizing Israel before being labelled a racist.Germany’s history, after all, has long informed the country’s deep official support of Israel, but its center-left majority displays an almost reflexive affinity for the Palestinians.(Der Spiegel)

Top Killer For Syrian Rebels 11 Year Boy!

In Middle east on January 15, 2013 at 10:44

Strange is the world of Middle East.

 

An area always in turmoil with a  host of problems facing some nation or another, it is now the turn of Syria to fight Assad.

 

As Assad hardens his stand , so are the rebels .

 

What is bizarre is that their killing machine is a 11 year old boy,Mohammed Afar called as Little Lion.

Mohamed Afar Killer Syria.

Mohamed Afar Killer Syria.

Read On.

Over the top of his faded yellow jacket a Free Syrian Army vest holds three extra clips, each full with live ammunition, and a walkie-talkie. An FSA badge sits on one side and a rendering of the Islamic Shahada, in Arabic calligraphy, on the other.

He says he does not miss school or want to stay at home with his mother and two sisters.

“I want to stay as a fighter until Bashar is killed,” he says, referring to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

The fighters surrounding him, all claiming to be from Liwa al-Tawhid, pass him a sniper rifle and offer to take him to a frontline, so he can demonstrate his shooting.

“He is a great shot,” says his father, Mohammed Saleh Afar. “He is my little lion.”

Over the course of its grinding 21-month insurgency, Syria’s children have endured numerous abuses.

Caught-up in shelling, airstrikes, and sniping, they have additionally been subject to arbitrary arrest, torture and rape, as reported by the United Nations Commission of Inquiry on Syria in August; which, additionally, noted “with concern reports that children under 18 are fighting and performing auxiliary roles for anti-Government armed groups.”

Both the Geneva Conventions and the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Children carry provisions that call for not using combatants under the age of 15, while the International Criminal Court’s Rome Statute makes it a war crime.

Mohammed quickly disengages his magazine and presents it, before skillfully reinserting it, but not chambering a round. The older fighters surrounding him— some of whom are little more than boys themselves —praise his speed and mirror his father’s earlier statements, calling him a “good shot.”

He says he admires the fighters from Jabhat al-Nusra—composed of hardline Islamists subscribing to Takfiri ideology—and recently designated a foreign terrorist organization by the United States. Al-Nusra have proven effective in battle, winning itself scores of supporters.
