Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung confirms: Houla massacre committed by Syrian “rebels”

27. Logic?

"That is indicated by the report that most of the victims were members of one family. "

Could the fact that most of that settlement consisted on one family was the reason that they were killed, and nothing else?

"The massacres also left a physical vacuum in neighbourhoods and villages. Surviving families, terrified for their children, left their homes and land behind and chose to live as refugees in safer areas. These territorial gains serve the regime, carving sections of Syria into havens exclusive to Assad regime supporters. As one activist from Hama said: "They are pushing us east of the Orontes River."

Such loaded claims seem outlandish until you map out the massacres and realise you can pinpoint the locations of future massacres in specific areas of Homs, Hama and Latakia. Another activist said: "We are 20 massacres away from an opposition-free Syrian coast.""

I have said this before and I'll say it again - much of what you post is based on supposition, wishful thinking and your biased interpretation of events.

I wish your posts included more quotes, links, etc to back up your claims.
