Subject: RE: BS: Homs horror (Syria, 2012)
I asked why you of the Hard Left were silent on Syria but so vociferous about Israel whose supposed crimes pale into insignificance by comparison.

It is because the undisputed monster is an enemy of Israel that Israel has been facing down for decades.
It is because Israel is an innocent bystander.
It is because the old darlings of the Hard Left are supporting the monster and are drenched in the blood of thousands of slaughtered families.
It is because this time it is unequivocal that the Western Powers are the force for good.

In fairness to Britain; at least they made it clear that they had no intention of becoming involved
Lie.
Britain has got involved from the start and has done more than any other to get international action.

Trade embargo - nope
Er, yes actually.
Massive embargoes are in place but flouted by R and C

Demanding that the UN consider over-riding the Chinese/Russian vetoes
They can not over ride them.

Military intervention.
Only a deranged Colonel Blimp would think that more Western boots marching into another Muslim land was a good idea, but you do.
My position is the only sane one, last resort only.

And I am not ashamed of expressing concern for the minorities.
You should be for dismissing it.
