What about the 250,000 people slaughtered during the Syrian civil war? Who cares.
What's crucial to world peace is if the Israelis built a house in the West Bank. Now THAT is a crucial world event!
It reflects the number killed when the conflict was just a civil war and civilians deaths were unfortunate collateral damage.
ISIS engages in acts of mass murder and genocide and ISIS kills for fun or just for the sake of killing
The ISIS death toll will never be known but its far in excess of 250k
This thread is about the recently freed Palmyra. You can start some threads, if you want to discuss the topics that you’ve mentioned.
“What about the 250,000 people slaughtered during the Syrian civil war? “
All in the name of Sunni Islam wanting to depose another middle east strongman who at best was a “Christmas and Easter moslem” (so to speak)
And as for you, you couldn’t be more wrong. Before the war Assad isn’t a mass murderer that I ever saw. He was not at all like his dad. Life was pretty normal for Syrians until we launched another Arab spring “google think/act revolt”
And I know ill get flamed, but what happened here in Syria with ISIS was like a microcosm of the defeat of Germany. The Russians did most of the effort, and will get very little credit. Im surprised Obama hasn’t already taken credit for liberating Palmyra, after all, his grandpa in the US Army liberated Auschwitz. (nevermind that was the red army)
At least then we were secretly supplying the Wehrmacht with anti-tank missiles and MANPADS.

Assad’s merry band of cutthroats has killed in excess of 90 percent of the dead in the Syrian civil war, ISIS just crowed about what they did. Millions have fled Syria during the four years (four so far) and there are no prospects that they’ll ever be able to return.
But the top story? An Israeli homeowner crushed the hopes and dreams of Palestinian victims of the Occupation by installing a swag lamp over his pool table, an act that also triggered mass murders in Paris and Brussels.
