How credible is Russian TV? not one reliable or high up official in any Government not one, has stated Israel is implicated in Syria. The conspiracy theory from mad-haters is that Saudi Arabia, US, Russia, Iran, Mossad, Alquada are ALL involved. Yes, can you just see Israel working with Alquada?? Why did China and Russia veto resolution to stop the killing. Strange how these people don't want to really see-conspiracy??? Israel working with Alquada, Iran and Hezbullah-that would be something!

critics say that personal statutes laws and the penal code discriminate against women and girls. Moreover, it also grants leniency for so-called honor crimes. As of November 9, 2011 during the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad, the United Nations reported that of the over 3500 total deaths, over 250 deaths were children as young as 2 years old, and that boys as young as 11 years old have been gang raped by security services officers

Syria's human rights situation is among the worst in the world, according to human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch. Freedom House ranked Syria "Not Free" in its annual Freedom in the World survey.

The authorities arrest democracy and human rights activists, censor websites, detain bloggers, and impose travel bans. Arbitrary detention, torture, and disappearances are widespread. Although Syria's constitution guarantees gender equality .....cont

Sectarian dictatorship in Syria dose not represent the vast majority of Syrians, the regime in Syria is a bunch of thugs with big guns, they don't care about the country or Syrians, they have been stealing the country's wealth and send it to banks abroad, they are bunch of savage uncivilized gang of criminals, what is happening in Syria is a true revolution against tyranny and oppression, the regime sold the country long time a go.

Syria ""free"" army is CIA/mossad\MI6 intelligence backed, and has arms sent in by contreband through Qatar which sold out to new world order. This is all a proxy war fought for Israel to set the chessboard so there can be invasion of Iran, and global domination by the central banking system. Mossad death squad snipers shoot innocent people to stir up chaos in Syria to have a coup d'état and weaken a strong ally of Iran. We shall not stand for the lies which aim to install world totalitarism!!!
