In 1948, during the Nakba, or Palestinian Exodus, the Palestinian tragedy began in earnest. Palestinian Refugees were spread out all over the world but most were divided between Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Today there is another tragedy of displacement – Syria. Since 2011, the year of the color revolution and destabilization, engineered and designed by Israel and the West, Syrian society and the population as a whole has been torn apart.
For instance, Jisr al-Shoghour, a town located in Idlib province and about twelve miles from the Turkish border, was the scene of a horrible massacre. Here, the so-called peaceful protesters attacked a Syrian military security checkpoint. Soldiers were beheaded, many of them struck on the head with an axe, their bodies so badly damaged, a DNA test was necessary to determine who they actually were.
Our government organized a tour to a mass grave of Syrian soldiers who had been killed by foreign-backed “rebels,” including Uighurs, in Jisr al-Shoghour that was attended by a number of foreign diplomats. One of the attendees was former US Ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford.
Another location, Ishtebraq, a rural area also located in Idlib, witnessed two massacres against its residents. The first one was in 2011. The second was in 2015.
