Just because this genocidal terrorist was in the pocket of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and some Gulf States? What an hypocrisy and utter political bs!
Analysis: Human Rights Watch and Western media lament death of self-proclaimed genocidal terrorist
This was soon quickly followed by Al-Nusra’s major ally, Ahrar ash-Sham, giving their condolences.
“Alloush’s martyrdom should be a turning point in the history of the revolution and rebel groups should realize they are facing a war of extermination and uprooting by Putin’s regime,” said Labib al Nahhas, a senior figure in the main Ahrar al-Sham group. However, this is understandable that fellow terrorist groups would give their condolences to a known sectarian terrorist with the same ideology, goals and extremism.
However, this is where things start to become strange and peculiar. The designated champions of the `revolution’ against the Syrian government, the Free Syrian Army, are always heralded as moderate, secular and pro-democracy. However, as Al-Masdar News has continued to expose at large, this ethos is nothing but a mythological hope to the West. Why did the Free Syrian Army offer condolences to the death of a terrorist leader who was friendly with internationally designated terrorist groups like Al-Nusra and Ahrar ash-Sham?
We know Ahrar ash-Sham, Al-Nusra and the Free Syrian Army are allied and compose the northern Syrian axis known as the Army of Conquest. Despite this, the mythology of a secular and pro-democratic Free Syrian Army permeates.
However, in the West, the silence of the media exposing this has been deafening. In fact, the West have taken a more disturbing reaction to the death of the terrorist leader Alloush.
The Guardian took the headline: “Leader of powerful Syrian rebel group killed in airstrike“.
The New York Times took the headline: “Powerful Syrian Rebel Leader Reported Killed in Airstrike“.
Reuters took the headline: “Top Syrian rebel leader killed in air strike in Damascus suburb“.
And all the other usual suspects took on the narrative that a `rebel’ leader had died. However, the language evoked from these headlines give the unsuspecting reader the illusion that this was another (non-existent) pro-democracy and secular rebel leader.
This could not be further from the truth. From his own mouth, Alloush called for the extermination and torture of Shi’ites and Alawites.
On September 29, 2013, the largest rebel army was formed in Syria by combining around 50 Islamist groups under the umbrella of the "Army of Islam", led by Zahran Alloush, who was leading the Islam Battalion prior to his new position. This supposedly "moderate rebel" by US standards wants to re-establish an Omayyad-like Caliphate in Syria and to "crush the heads of the Magi", a term that Wahhabi extremists use in reference to Iranians/Persians and to Shiites. He also called for like-minded jihadists to flock from all over the world into Syria to help him achieve his objective.
Which brings me to my next point; Kenneth Roth. It cannot be understood why Roth is alluding to and indirectly stating that Alloush was exterminated by Syrian forces to reduce other leadership potentials, to just the current Syrian government and ISIS. For those who do not know who Kenneth Roth is, he has been the executive director of Human Rights Watch since 1993.
