Saudi Arabia, which has been carpet bombing Yemen since March 2015 with US & UK support, calls upon Syria to “stop the violence” against civilians in Eastern Ghouta. The US, UK, & France have also shaken the naughty finger at Assad despite their role in Yemen & in the carpet bombing of Mosul & Raqqa which prior to the bombing sieges in 2017-2018 had a combined population of between 1,089,000 to 1,500,000 million civilians. Angela Merkel of Germany used stronger words even though she negotiated the unsavory agreement to prevent refugees from entering or leaving Turkey for asylum in Europe or elsewhere.

The response to this slaughter is not to wait on the UN ceasefire resolution which is unenforceable but to organize protest rallies around the world demanding the immediate cessation of Syrian, Russian, & US coalition bombing in Syria & the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all foreign military forces–troops, bombers, covert, special forces, mercenaries, paramilitary death squads–from Syria.
