Ah right. True. But:
BBC purposefully used old footage to show previous attacks
or
The child was moved to another hospital where the BBC just happened to be filming
or(as you said)
Being in a hospital for 3 days isn't unusual.
And
None of this matters or is even relevant since there are people suffering while we don't bother to address the actual situation, but instead focus on "is this fake"?

Twitter is faster than BBC so that's probably it. But I'm curious what those tweets where saying and who posted them.
But if the Syrian army was really using Phosphor bombs everyone would know about it without a shadow of a doubt. They would have targeted actual Rebels positions and made kills. So why no footage of burnt rebels?

 

[Kickz]

Post the fucking threads if you're even remotely genuine. Otherwise, what are you actually trying to say?

Genuine about what? That atrocities are happening all over the Middle East even as I type this?? That we use these atrocities like campaign commercials to justify our "interests", in this case being Syria?

 

[Cromat]

Guys I think I finally understand. This entire war is nothing more than a big false flag. The regime and the rebels are only killing their own people in an attempt to make the other side look bad.

 

[Marleyman]

People are dying in horrible ways all over the globe. Syria sucks, no doubt, but selectively picking where we take action is not a good idea.

 

[v1oz]

None of that makes actual fucking sense, why a school? Are you people really buying into this, imo all of that look fake as hell. So they drop a bomb on the school, and that's it...............what's the point? Man people go for anything, if this is in fact real, which I question, how do we know Syria did it and not the rebels?

Where would the rebels get a jet fighter?

The Syrian air force has been deploying incendiary munitions for months and months. It's no secret - there's literally hundreds of videos of them being used and of the UXO they leave behind.

And they rarely even catch rebels because they're usually dropped from several thousand feet up over residential areas.

Just because you dont see it on Infowars doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Bingo

 

[Liha]

When you say 'Where is the problem?" do you mean you see nothing wrong with innocent kids being burned alive?

It`s terrible but some guys here abuse this kids for her war drums.

None of this kids wants more dead people, they want a diplomatic solution.

 

[neorej]

Where would the rebels get a jet fighter?

Craigslist's full of them.

So what's a good idea?

Taking action everywhere or not taking action at all?

 

[LiK]

The political worldview of some here is disastrous. Israel used white phosphorus, the area around basra is uranium contaminated for centuries

There is no good or evil, it's all about power politics. All nations are the same bastards, no one is better or worse.

What happened to you?

 

[SmokyDave]

Genuine about what? That atrocities are happening all over the Middle East even as I type this??

Yup. If you want to highlight other atrocities, then do so. This thread is about a specific event in a specific place at a specific time.

That we use these atrocities like campaign commercials to justify our "interests", in this case being Syria?

Whose interests? Neither me nor my country appear to have any desire to get involved.

 

[marrec]

It`s terrible but some guys here abuse this kids for her war drums.

Right okay, so, while kids being killed and maimed in horrific ways is awful and reprehensible... you just don't believe that War is the answer.

Next time you might try to phrase that a bit differently though, when you say 'Where's the problem?' you sound like you don't care about children being burned alive.

If someone doesn't leave a tip, then you can say 'Where's the problem?'.

 

[hym]

And they rarely even catch rebels because they're usually dropped from several thousand feet up over residential areas.

And when the Army does take out a bunch of rebels at a rally point, they can always be turned it into a civilian queue at a bakery by feeding the Jihadi ducks in the blood pools some bread.

Unfortunately then that bread wasting mujahideen gets killed and his uncut footage falls in the wrong hands.

 

[Marleyman]

So what's a good idea?

Taking action everywhere or not taking action at all?

I think staying out of it instead of saying that this is the conflict we are going to care about is the best option.

 

[Jackpot]

I doubt anybody explicitly targeted a playground, but bombs striking targets that weren't what you thought they were (or simply straying off course from the real target) is not exactly a new thing in war.

Except that Syrian bombardments do target residential areas.

 

[v1oz]

People are dying in horrible ways all over the globe. Syria sucks, no doubt, but selectively picking where we take action is not a good idea.

The death toll in Syria is higher. More people have died in Syria over two years than the entire war in Afganistan that has lasted ten years.

Africa over the years has been much worse.

 

[cobragt4001]

Where would the rebels get a jet fighter?

Where's proof a jet was used.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Where is the problem?

Israel used white phosphorus in gaza, attack israel.
A civil war is awful but an attack is no solution.
It is scandalous to misuse these children for his cause.

That´s a great way to justify the massacre of innocent children and defend the cold blooded murderous regime.

 

[Cromat]

You're right. As long as we are equally indifferent to all human suffering, we are good.

 

[Flatline]

Oh Cromat, please don't comment on these threads, the sheer hypocrisy of an Israel apologist demanding justice for crimes against humanity is going to make my head explode.

 

[Narag]

cheezmo sure knows a lot about Syria and this conflict. Perhap more than God-fearing westerner ought. Have we considered the possibility that he is the MI6 agent?

 

[neorej]

Where's proof a jet was used.

Where's proof there wasn't?

 

[v1oz]

Where's proof a jet was used.

They said eye witnesses on the spot

 

[MechaX]

Where would the rebels get a jet fighter?

If this thread is any indication, Gypsy fucking Danger or some other giant robot could be wrecking shit in specific targets in Syria and people would still be splitting hairs on whether the government or the rebels owns this giant robot.

Possible misfire on their initial target
or
They wanted to purposefully target a school to make a statement. Much like America did with Hiroshima.

I'm completely behind people questioning what they hear, but there are times when it's not really called for. While people are saying "oh it's a false flag" or "Alex Jones is right", the fact is, those school kids are suffering from an attack. There is no debate.

As for the Twitter posts. I haven't seen those.

And when the Army does take out a bunch of rebels at a rally point, they can always be turned it into a civilian queue at a bakery by feeding the Jihadi ducks in the blood pools some bread.

Unfortunately then that bread wasting mujahideen gets killed and his uncut footage falls in the wrong hands.

What the....?

 

[marrec]

They said eye witnesses

Where's proof eyes were used? BBC conspiracy.

 

[Marleyman]

You're right. As long as we are equally indifferent to all human suffering, we are good.

If we are the only country willing to do anything when atrocities occur selectively picking which ones to get involved in just makes things worse IMO. What about the places we haven't intervened in? There needs to be more of a coalition..currently we would be moving unilaterally, which sucks badly, but it is what the reality is.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

And when they do catch a bunch of insurgents gathering we can always turn it into a civilian queue at a bakery by feeding the Jihadi ducks in the blood pools some bread.

1: glad to see my summary of your posting style was 100% correct

2: I already addressed your bakery nonsense months ago in the OT. There's been an awful lot more bakery bombings than that one. Should I post the Bab al-Hadid video again? HRW even investigated them and you know this because I linked you the video. So dishonest.

 

[Vestal]

It`s terrible but some guys here abuse this kids for her war drums.

None of this kids wants more dead people, they want a diplomatic solution.

So you come into a thread about a news event and as soon as your first post you try and inject your political views into the discussion?

Later on you go completely Sarah Palin and start talking about stuff that has nothing to do with the thread.

Look we all get it, you don't like the USA. More power to you. But no reason to act so insensitively when discussing an atrocity such as this.

 

[hym]

There's been an awful lot more bakery bombings than that one.

Here is a prophecy, there will be bakery bombings until rebels run out of bread to decorate their defeats with.

 

[CHEEZMO™]

cheezmo sure knows a lot about Syria and this conflict. Perhap more than God-fearing westerner ought. Have we considered the possibility that he is the MI6 agent?

My posts are available to the highest bidder. Mossad just gifted me some Vicky 2 expansions on Steam. I'm tempted...

 

[cobragt4001]

They=BBC?

 

[cobragt4001]

Where's proof there wasn't?

Where's proof there's proof?

 

[BigDes]

They=BBC?

As we all know the BBC are paid for by UK Intelligence

Alex Jones said so

and he totally doesn't have grudge against the BBC for being humiliated on newsnight or anything

 

[Bisnic]

I love you crazy conspiracy guys. So entertaining to read.

They think a war will change something but that is not true. The state syria will no longer exist, with or without assad, the various population groups hate each other already too much. The lebanon civil war lasted 15 years as an example and the war is already in lebanon and iraq (car bombs), just a diplomatic solution can stop this conflict.

The US must realize that they have to negotiate with the iraq, iran, lebanon-hezbollah, assad, israel, russia.

Look we all get it, you don't like the USA.

I dislike the US foreign policy and military, the people and country are fine.

 

[Cromat]

Oh Cromat, please don't comment on these threads, the sheer hypocrisy of an Israel apologist demanding justice for crimes against humanity is going to make my head explode.

You're great at this whole 'discussion' thing aren't you?

 

[LogicStep]

The world can be a fucked up place. I wonder how all of this is going to end, way too many possibilities.

 

[RustyNails]

Guyz where is the problems??? Kids r dying in Africa for 100 years and no 1 cares Why Syrian kids special? All war bad and evil. America kill iraq kids too. This is lies by rebels. But where is plane??? False flag by rebels!!

 

[neorej]

Where's proof there's proof?

Proof to me that the proven proof provided is purposely falsified proven proof.

Links? I searched on Youtube and I didn't see any obvious use of incendiary ammunitions on inhabited zones. Don't you think there would be more casualty reports if that type of weapons were used on civilians on a regular basis?
Plus are we to believe the place shown in the report, is the place the bomb exploded? The place is barely destroyed or burnt.

 

[Dilly]

Where is the problem?

Israel used white phosphorus in gaza, attack israel.
A civil war is awful but an attack is no solution.

I hope someone punches you in the face for that first sentence.

That word again. I don't think it means what you think it means. Was Hitler a beetle? Was Goebbels a kangaroo? I don't think the nurse reported anything non-human at Stalin's birth and I don't think Kim Jong-un can lick his dick clean either.

It may make you feel uncomfortable but it's definitely human beings who did this, of the same species we belong to. Yes, we're capable of doing this, too. Precisely because we're not animals.

Since when isn't human a species of animals?

 

[Shake Appeal]

So what's a good idea?

Taking action everywhere or not taking action at all?

Abiding by the international conventions and institutions that are designed to make our meting out of retributive violence measured and considered, rather than arbitrary and self-interested.

 

[params7]

Daily reminder bombing a country to stop bombing of people is counter productive.

Now that you mention it:
Somalia famine 'killed 260,000 people' from 2010 to 2012

Where was the Sunni outrage there?

A fraction of the Billions spent on weapons to conquer a country could have saved 260k Muslims.

WikiLeaks cable: AU SUMMIT: A/S CARSON'S MEETING WITH SOMALI PRESIDENT SHEIKH SHARIF

Department of State. REASON: 1.4 (b), (d) 1. (C) Summary: Assistant Secretary for African Affairs Johnnie Carson and Somali President Sheikh Sharif met July 1 on the margins of the African Union (AU) Summit in Sirte, Libya. Their exchange included an assessment of the Somali Transitional Federal Government's (TFG) capacity to repel al-Shabaab's forces. Sharif appealed for international financial and military support to win the war. Carson expressed the USG's readiness to broaden its support for Sharif's government, and he encouraged the Somali President to show more political resolve to issue more strong statements about his determination to rid Somalia of extremism. Both sides agreed on the necessity for the government to restore stability so that it can deliver more services to the Somali people. They also concurred that Qatari and Eritrean support for al-Shabaab must end. End Summary.
...

10. (C) President Sharif and his aides requested USG intervention with the Emir of Qatar to persuade him to stop playing a negative role in Somalia. The United States may need to appeal to the Emir's vanity, the aides said, recalling his peacemaker role in other parts of the Middle East and in Sudan. (Note: A/S Carson offered to meet with the Emir, whom Libyan Leader Moammar Qadhafi had invited for the AU Summit opening ceremony, but the Emir departed Sirte immediately after the ceremony. End note.)

So the people supporting the Jihadists have malicious intentions and don't care for preserving human life but they themselves aren't? is that the argument the Islamist apologists are pushing?

War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.

And the kind of war does not matter, Jihad, Responsibility to Protect, Humanitarian Intervention, or Imperialist Regime change.

WTF with the gif????????????


Sometimes defense force for everything in gaf is cute, but people actually defending these horrible actions done by the regime, and deflecting the issue into Iraq and other nations, is truly saddening. WTF is wrong with the Assad´s defense force here on gaf?
You want to talk about Iraq and other nations, make a damn thread, and stop deflecting and showing horrible gifs in this one.
