Syria conflict: 'Dozens die' in government air strikes
BBC News ^ | 8 June 2015

Posted on 06/08/2015 8:06:21 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

At least 49 civilians, including six children, have been killed in air strikes by government forces in north-western Syria, activists say.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that missiles had hit a public square in the rebel-held village of al-Janudiya.

Many people had gathered there to go shopping, the group added.

Al-Janudiya is situated in the west of Idlib province, which is now almost completely controlled by rebel forces.

An alliance including al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, the al-Nusra Front, seized control of the provincial capital at the end of March, and the major town of Jisr al-Shughour, near al-Janudiya, a month later.

The rebels are now advancing on the Mediterranean coastal province of Latakia, a stronghold of President Bashar al-Assad and his Alawite sect.

You’ve got to love the media. It reports (who knows if it’s true) that “dozens die” at the hand of the Assad Syrian government. But it always seems to forget that countless thousands and tens of thousands have died at the hands of ISIS.

You have to remember that ISIS/ISIL is on the side of Obama and everyone else in the District of Criminals.

I don’t think the Middle East is better off than it was six years ago, but then, neither are we. Man, things have changed...
