racking up the numbers in Syria this weekend. Assad's lucky that nobody cares enough to actually do anything about it.

I just find it amazing that all these human rights groups aren't organizing street demonstrations, or at least being a tiny bit vocal over what's going on over in Syria. The same groups that had their members on the streets last year when the 9 Turks were killed by the IDF. I believe W13 was on that demo. It's as if they don't really give a shit about human rights at all, but just pretend to when it suits them. Can anybody deny that's not the way it looks?

A thought:
NGO's generally only speak/work when Governments don't. There appears universal condemnation of the actions going on in Syria as there is in Palestine.

Thank you John, Stan loves jumping all over this sort of thing. Taking sad events in Syria and trying to turn it into cheap point scoring in his battle to defend the indefensible. Ridiculous, desperate, poor.
As John rightly says, the likes of W13 and I don't need to highlight this sort of thing because everyone already agrees it's a wrong 'un. However due to the aggressive and unrelenting PR campaign for the Israeli military (funded by the US to the tune of billions) many deluded souls are unaware of the equally atrocious nature of the IDF's etc actions.
So, Stan, in answer to the mistakenly triumphant question that ended your post. Anyone but a fool with a real lack of understanding of what and why protest is deemed necessary would let you know that that's not the way it looks.

Couldn't Israel go in and kill a few? No-one would mind that very much.

 well that's a relief. Normal service resumed.
Cant wait for the human rights frauds to get back on their high horses after they've ignored what's going on in Syria, & also in Libya. 85 civilians killed there by NATO last week. Barely a peep out of the media, the HR frauds or anybody else for that matter. Nobody mention hypocrisy cos the hypocrites might get upset :thumbsup

If that were to happen how long before the conspiracy theorists start the claim that it was an inside job?

Do we know of a list of countries that are in possession of such asteroids?

I'm really genuinely stunned at the silence of people like Cheryl Booth & George Galloway over what's going on in Syria.
How can they expect to be taken seriously when they so obviously pick & choose where to direct their outrage?

Maybe because the George Clooney film was so dull?
