C’est un artifice classique de propagande de présenter une opinion particulière comme une vérité consensuelle, de sorte que ceux qui la contestent ont l’impression de se marginaliser. Appliquant ce mécanisme à la Syrie, la presse occidentale et du Golfe attribue mensongèrement à l’ONU toutes sortes de positions qui ne sont pas les siennes. En réponse à des courriels de lecteurs, Thierry Meyssan pointe quelques manipulations de vocabulaire.

There are other possible motivations for this kind of terrorism apart from that of provoking a full-scale war. Most obviously, NATO fears the shift in French foreign policy following the election of Francois Hollande and wish to constrain him within the Atlanticist framework laid down by Sarkozy.

Hague’s call for Russia to resolve the crisis is an interesting one. Russia don’t share Hague’s line that Assad is behind these killings and suggest that Al Qaeda type elements are more likely responsible. The UN report hints that the massacre is connected to government bombardment but that doesn’t seem consistent with the injuries sustained. Russia doesn’t support Britain’s regime change agenda and is definitely not soft on Al Qaeda.
“It isn’t in the interests of Russia, it’s not in anyone’s interests, for Syria to descend into an even bloodier situation and into a full-scale civil war and that’s now the danger.”
If this is a threat designed to force Russia into removing Assad I suggest it is a futile one.

La balle a pénétré le corps de mon frère avant d’exploser dans ses poumons, dit un jeune chrétien qui a pu s’évader de Kossayr (ou Qusayr) et s’installer à Damas. Mon frère, ajoute-il, était ingénieur civil. Il s’est rendu ce 18 février 2012 à Kossayr pour nous dire au revoir avant de regagner l’Allemagne, où il poursuivait ses études. Arrivé ce jour-là en ville, il s’est retrouvé au milieu d’un accrochage entre les forces de l’ordre et des milices terroristes. Pas loin de la maison familiale, un policier gravement blessé avait besoin de l’aide. Mon frère s’est dirigé vers lui pour le secourir. Mais il ne savait pas que la mort l’attendait. Une balle a été tirée par un franc-tireur.

“We should hold all the responsible ones accountable and have them face justice even if it has connection to some permanent members at the UN Security Council,” he added. “Those who are very interested in halting violence and making the comprehensive national dialogue in Syria a success should stop interfering in our internal affairs and should stop arming , hosting, funding and protecting the armed terrorist groups in my country,” said al-Jaafari, adding that “No one can ignite fire and be the firefighter at the same time and, unfortunately, this is the case for many UNSC member states.”
28th May, 20
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN Dr. Bashar al-Jaafari stressed that al-Houla massacre as a horrible, unjustified and unjustifiable crime which the Syrian government has firmly condemned.
