The Wait. →
This is a guest post by @BigAlBrand who is an activist living in Homs, cradle of the Syrian revolution. He agreed to share some insights from his everyday life. We each have a certain routine we live by most of our days, a routine that changes in every episode of our lives. School days have a routine different from college and work days. Life in a war zone has its own episodes of routine as...

A Cannibal in Syria by @intensionality  →
This ought not to be an important subject - one crazed guy in a horrifying video and a disturbing interview.  Some insist that it takes attention away from far worse atrocities. That hasn’t had much effect.  It takes more than morality and politics to explain the divergent reactions.. The vocabulary of the reports is suggestive.  In Foreign Policy, Peter Bouckaert asked Is This the Most...

The Massacre of Ariha, Idleb (Syria)
Idleb (Ariha): May 14, 2013 - Assad’s forces unleashed a hellstorm of shells and rockets on this small town yesterday. The town, once known for it’s sweet cherries is now a wasteland of dead and dying children. No exact death toll was released at the time of this post. A man hold up a baby girl who was crushed to death in her own home after Assad’s shells struck it. She is...

Does This Not Outrage You?
Much has been said over the past two days in the world press about a sick video showing an FSA commander tearing the heart out of a dead Hezbullah fighter (sent to murder Syrians) in Qusayr, Homs and then eating it.  The video is vile. The act is vicious. The cannibalism is inexcusable. However, the ‘outrage’ over this video has been proclaimed by Human Rights Watch to be “the...

The Massacre of Halfaya, Hama (Syria) .. More.
May 10th & 11th, 2013 - The shelling began as always, yet this time the intensity was like none other before, Assad’s forces used such brutal fire power against the people of this town that residents began to jump in the the river Assi just to escape the besieged town. This is what the people were trying to avoid. A fate like this. For the dead in the back of this pickup, it was too...

The Angry Arab Interviews Himself About Syria →
The Angry Arab has been conducting a series of interviews with journalists and analysts about the situation in Syria for a while now, asking questions that you would never see in the ‘mainstream media’ as he calls it. He had promised to interview himself at the end of the series, and we are lucky that he decided to allow us to publish this remarkable interview which sheds so much light on one...
