ISIS execution video shows 4yo 'Jihadi Junior' blowing up 'British spies' 
Quote:More at
Islamic State has released a new clip showing a British boy, nicknamed 'Jihadi Junior' and thought to be aged four, blowing up three prisoners. The kid with an ISIS headband is seen pressing a button on a remote control device seconds before a car with alleged “spies” inside explodes.

Islamic State
In the video, believed to have been shot by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) in their de facto capital of Raqqa, “Jihadi Junior,” dressed in camouflage clothing, is seen pointing to the "non-believers." The men inside the car, wearing handcuffs and orange jumpsuits, obediently confess their "crimes" to the camera shortly before their vehicle explodes.
The boy is accompanied by a young masked man, who makes a threat to British Prime Minister David Cameron. Speaking in an English accent, the man, whose face is covered, vows that his fighters will not be defeated. He accuses the Conservative Party leader of sending armed groups in Syria to fight the jihadists, adding that the killing of three “spies” will be revenge.

International Red Cross: "Increase in airstrikes and ongoing sieges “making a mockery” of international efforts to help Syrians"

Quote:
Close to 100,000 people have been forced to flee their homes to escape air-strikes in Syria since the beginning of the month. Nearly, 42,000 people have fled northern Aleppo, with the majority heading to the Turkish border, and up to 50,000 people are estimated to have escaped air strikes in Dara’a province by fleeing into the countryside or towards the Jordanian border. More than a thousand have also fled their homes in the north Syrian province of Lattakia.
David Miliband, President of the IRC, said: “That nearly 100,000 have fled their homes less than a week since world leaders pledged over $10 billion to support humanitarian efforts is making a mockery of the international community’s commitment to help Syrians. The severe disregard for the safety of civilians leaves Syrians no choice but to flee for their lives.”
“IRC aid workers in northern Syria have told me that they know of least two infant deaths due to malnutrition and the cold at the border. These airstrikes even left some of our staff with no choice but to sleep rough for several nights, but many have it far worse. Syrians are in desperate need of shelter, water, food, blankets and clothes."
All of which reminds me of this:

Ah the Syrian family you like to bring up so regularly. Still wondering about them? Well from the above there's a good chance they've been blown to pieces by Russian airstrikes/barrel bombs, or are fearing that it could happen any moment, or are amongst the 100,000+ that have fled their homes and are shivering in the cold on the ground on the Turkish border.

Dear THUGGERY
Hey asshole - why don't you quote where I 'defended Russia'. Because I didn't, and you will not be able to find where I did.
So, why don't you go take your opinions and your trolling, and shove them way back up in the dark smelly place they came from?

So, for anyone else who can read, and think, and is honest - well, I guess that keeps krappo, thuggery and 'g'string off the list - what I was pointing out is how slanted the media coverage about terrorists has been in order to conform to the neocon agenda.
Going WAY back, when al-Qaeda was fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, the US called them 'freedom fighters'.
After 9-11 (remember 9/11? when al-Qaeda terrorists took over 4 large commercial jets and flew them, or attempted to fly them, into 4 separate mass targets on US home soil in places you know?) they were put on the terror list as 'evildoers' (one of Bush's milder descriptions) and Bush vowed to get bin Laden 'dead or alive'. And as al-Qaeda and its offshoots spread terror from one country to the next it remained on the list of top US targets.
Until Syria, that is. Then suddenly, despite it STILL being on the terrorist organization list, it became moderate and acceptable again. Maybe a little rough around the edges, but useful for the US. The US government did everything but going back to calling them 'freedom fighters'. Now they're just 'rebels' in the fight for Syrian 'freedom'.
And even ISIS is getting a free pass nowadays. After their initial gruesome bloody days, (remember? people getting their heads sawn off slowly, agonizing minute by agonizing minute, with dull blades; and people being set alight in cages?) if you go by what you're NOT hearing about them in the media, they've become perfect gentlemen. Don't never do nothin' bad to nobody.
If you believe all this spin ... krappo, thuggery and 'g'string, that means you ... I have a bridge to sell you.

Quote:First of all, Russians don't use barrel-bombs, which are a low-tech, low yield weapon. Any entity using a barrel bombs is using them out of lack of resources, they're not the scourge that you've been told.

Second, why do you imagine that the Russians are bombing indiscriminately? Yes, they're conducting a lot of airstrikes, but (according to them, anyway) they don't strike a target unless its been confirmed by several different sources. All of figures that you've come up with ... 8 civilians killed here, 9 killed there ... I'm not hearing about mass civilians deaths in the western press, despite the western press' obvious intentions- and yours- to paint the Russians in the worst possible light

Yes, it's a terrible tragedy. How about this: Instead of blaming the Russians for bombing the "rebels", why don't we expect the "rebels" to cede the city and save the population from warfare? Why not put the blame for this clusterfuck on who started it and who's been propelling it forward: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, UAE, and the USA CIA? OH, I KNOW WHY! Because you're too one-sided to look at this realistically.

Says who? Russian state media and your echo-chamber of pro-Russian anti-Western blogs.

Err, 100,000 displaced in less than 2 weeks?? And who said anything about 'indiscriminately'? Hospitals, market places etc. - it seems to me Russia's bombing of civilian infrastructure is heavily targeted.

Even if it were true that the backers of the rebels started this war (it's not, and they didn't), what we're talking about in this thread is WAR CRIMES committed by Russia and Assad. There is NEVER any excuse for them, no matter how hard you try to deflect and blame someone else.

Just amazing reasoning. And staggering hypocrisy. Can you say why the Syrian rebels should be obliged to do this, but the pro-Russian separatists defending against Ukrainian government offensives shouldn't?

Just amazing reasoning. And staggering hypocrisy. Remember back in spring/early summer 2014 when the Ukrainian government was driving back the separatists, and laying siege to Donetsk and Luhansk? And you were howling against the Ukrainian government for attacking population centres? And NOT condemning the separatists for defending from them? Can you say why the Syrian rebels should be obliged to cede cities in their control to an attacking government, but the pro-Russian separatists shouldn't?

Your 'separatists' are ISIS. I guess you like ISIS.
