    : Talk that Israel's demand for Iran to leave Syria could be achieved by a Saudi - UAE recommendation that sanctions against Russia be lifted. This selfish suggestion ignores Ukraine, Crimea, MH-17 and the use of nerve gas in England. .

    Not only is the regime forcibly stealing land/homes of those who fled to then make a profit out of them, it also wants to make a direct profit from the very fact that they are refugees who fled their homes. You'll see me the happiest man on Earth the day Assad dies.

    Upon arriving in Syria, the refugees are to be greeted by the regime army, which takes them to their local municipalities to pay fees for all utilities they would have paid during the years they were gone. Keep in mind, most of these people are struggling to feed…

    Syrias Revolution shares the fate of the Spanish Revolution 1936-39. A revolutionary people divided could not win with poisonous 'allies' (USSR), 'neutral' Democracies whose embargos sabotaged self defense. While fasist powers Italy (Iran) and Hitler (Putin) threw all in.

    Syrian revolutionary activists in Madrid face violence and slander from communists. But receive intelligent solidarity from a group of 'humanist libertarian socialists'. The 'left" label is meaningless. These two groups are opposites, not part of one movement.

    At the beginning of the revolution Daraa, Homs and all other cities would go out and chant: ‘oh Hama forgive us’, referring to the Hama massacre of the 80s. And today we say, ‘oh Daraa, forgive us’. The regime has occupied the birthplace of our revolution, and the world looks on.

    so it begins: the world slowly erases any evidence of the suffering of a whole nation - preparing to hand back Assad his respect and support.Every new building is being built on the blood of the innocent. You can delete videos, but I promise you,Syrians will never, ever forget.

    Tyrants like Lenin, Mao, Maduro, and purveyors of fascist propaganda like Chomsky, Corbyn, Stein, are my absolute enemies. The people I met last night are my friends and comrades. One label does not describe them.

    They believe, correctly, that the Syrian Revolution offered greater hope to the world than any experience since 1930s Spain, and that its crushing condems the world to a new bout of fascist savagery.

    there's a deeper, psychological effort here wherein the regime and its allies are actively trying to erase the memory of these communities and what they were able to accomplish beyond state control.
