Syria Escalation

in syria •  7 years ago 

Remember that amidst the sabre rattling and accusations bandied about by politicians, the real victims of conflict in Syria are millions of innocent Syrians caught between a rock and a hard place. None of the warring factions or foreign interests have the authority to govern the people there, but they will ensure that their squabbling destroys as many lives as possible before someone emerges as the "victor."

If you care about humanity, withdraw your support for any belligerent party. Don't make excuses for military adventurism, don't apologize for any political leader's atrocities, and don't pretend there are "good guys," regardless of whose flag they fly. War is the health of the State. The State is the enemy. It is the deadliest religion, regardless of denomination.

The bloodshed, massacres and chaos across the Middle East are the result of governments, not anarchy. To call the consequences of government action "anarchy" is the height of hypocrisy. What these people need is freedom from government, not some specific government ruling them. What we see happening today is government at its fullest.

This is really a sad reality. When the elephants fight, the grasses suffer. For many years now, syria has been a fighting ground. People support and belong to different parties and shed blood. This should be stopped. Nobody cares for millions of poor syrians who are being bombed and shot everyday. This is a clarion call. Let us unite and stop the fighting, the killing and destruction of property. These poor Syrians being bombed and killed everyday deserve a familiy, they deserve a father, they deserve some life and peace. GIVE PEACE A CHANGE. TERRO IS SENSLESS, PEACE IS PRICELESS.
Let us unite remain as one. We all come from one man. We are simply one big family. Please lets dialogue and resolve conflicts. Fighting does not solve a single problem, simply destroys life.

The only time fighting solves anything is when one uses force in self-defense against an immediate threat. Governments never do this. Wars and "police actions" are premeditated murder. They are not in pursuit of justice. People who want glory in the eyes of other corrupt people send gullible strangers to kill one another and inflict death and destruction on one another and the unfortunate inhabitants of their battlefields. This is called "patriotism" and "honor" by men who lack virtue.

absolutely! the problem is not the syrian people, the problem is that 50 factions, foreign and internal, are fighting for control over the syrians.

I hope there would be a good way we could support them, but all information we get in our places are propaganda making it extremely hard to act.

Anybody know some syrian people in steem that we could support and follow to get an honest picture?

We must all work together towards ending this global humanitarian crisis. There must be some solid ways of helping the besieged and war-torn Syria.

I'm sure there are ways, but none of them involve supporting political action.
