1. Not on every european news every day
Avi L.   (12.09.16)
How strange that Aleppo isn't on every european on every newspaper, on tv news a few times a day, the way Gaza has been.

Maybe because it is a second Grozny and no one ever cared, like no one never cares if they cannot blame Jews or Israel.

Someone should rub west medias into it once and for all.
2. Now Arabs experience 1% of what Jews have suffered

3. TOO SAD TO SEE THESE IMAGES.

The idiot Iranian mullahs have created a nice buffer zone for Israel. With their Hezzis occupied in Syia, now Isreal has a Muslim force to protect it in the north. It is amazing how these people just pick teh worst leaders and dig deepr in quicksand.

makes a point that not enough is being said; right now, the U.S. is in a point of becoming chaos. A chaos much like this is seen here. Why, do you say?

I say this because the CIA overthrew Iran in a few days, and shortly later- the country revolted against the United States. All of which the actual citizens in the U.S had nothing to do with, again we see it today in the president- elect's pick of advisorial assistants and cabinet positions. This is nothing new in the making of chaos, after the transition to power.

What has happened in Syria, a President who killed people in public who spoke up about abuses to the citizens of that country; this same President let 'soldiers- for- hire' run through Syria to kill U.S. troops, men and women, in the battle for Iraq's freedom. Is any part of the country of Syria, and its people safe from the moral ‘depravity’ we see here? It appears the answer to that is “no”. While some have been close by, and done nothing to stop the fighting of President Assad with his people, there are some who have done as much as they could to stop the killing, and stop the mad choices President Bashar makes towards his people.

I, who have restricted means, restricted proximity to the people being attacked in Syria, today and past days have not restricted myself in working for their safety and answering their requests for medical help, medical relief. Maybe I cannot go there, at this time, but if I could I would for I see in the pictures light where light should not be, even though Bashar al Assad has worked hard to wipe it out- wipe out all the humanity from the ‘aretz of Syria. I read his father’s and uncles’ action s recorded in a book. I read his and his wife’s actions as recorded in a magazine- I acted accordingly. I do not believe we have a God who will do nothing- I indeed believe we have a God who wants us, as human beings, to live. I asked for many things for the Syrian people, and to this day, I continue and will continue to ask that the Living God walk through all the land of Syria, as I would if I were allowed, as do for Syrians as He sees as righteous and provide all the righteous justice, shelter, medical/ physical needs each person needs there. What President Assad is doing is wrong- and if nobody else will go help those people, I will not believe no one can help them. So for that I ask God to walk through the land of Syria with all His power and with all His wonders and do for them what no one else is doing for them. President Assad, if you think you are so powerful that you cannot tremble at the presence of God in your country, I tell you this- you haven’t met Him. I know Him and you haven’t met Him, although He’s been in your country for weeks at many’s request. He’s walking through other countries in the Middle East I have asked Him to walk through- because people don’t believe His Son, people don’t believe human beings, so it is Him you shall see walking through your country. And it is Him the Middle East will become acquainted with dwelling with, and it is Him who is keeping alive the light in those lands you are so furiously trying to remove it from- there is no one you kill that cannot be resurrected. If you knew what it was like to be around Him, then you would know that time has no limitations, pain has no foothold, and impossible is not even a word in the vocabulary used by He or His servants, everything is possible.

I don’t forget the Syrian people, or the Iraqi people, of the Afghan people in prayer. I don’t forget them at all- if I knew more detail that was going on there to hurt them, I would pray more. For now- for those who prevent the news from getting to the U.S. so others could get help- know this: I ask the only God to walk over personally and handle anything I am unsure needs help or justice in that land. How I appear on the outside, how I say things on the outside- is not how I appear in God’s presence, and it is not how I say things in God’s presence. He knows what persecution I am undergoing. I don’t have to explain myself to Him. The people of Syria do not and did not deserve this. Not any of this attack of President Assad. If I’m not afraid to walk in Aleppo, and God’s already walking there all day every day- and night, then I guess you will experience what it is like to be around God. Because I won’t let you not learn about Him- He is good at everything. He provides hope, He provides instruction to avoid danger, He keeps people alive. You, not any one human being can go without knowing what it is like to live with Him. If you haven’t known what it is like to live with Him, then you haven’t really lived a day yet- that day is coming, but for those in Syria, and Iraq, and all their neighbors they know it now. God’s already there walking through your countries at the request of those who care about you- and see people who have light in them and these people have not found a way out from all the attacks. That is inhumane- and I could become angry at Bashar al Assad, but I wait for that reaction when he suddenly comes in the presence of the God above and fears. I would rather see the great things God is doing in Aleppo and Syria for the Syrian people who never should have been attacked, and watch for the minute when the President is confronted, alive, with the One who Made him. A lot of people don’t forget the evil a lot of countries and different world leaders have done- there are even people who are praying about it and it’s changing the world to their victims’ benefit. President Assad doesn’t know what it is like to be in the Presence of God, if he did, he would act entirely different and try very little of what he’s doing now. President Assad would know that almost all that the world portrays on T.V. screens and videos is a lie, and that that lie is leading no where. That reality does not really exist- because this is God’s planet- and He’s nothing like that.
