All the trumpets world he wants to end the war in Syria, and restore peace in the Middle East.

Well, almost everyone.

"It's like a playoff game where you need both teams lose, but at least one of them does not win - we will satisfy us for a draw," said Alon Pinkas, a former consul-General of Israel in New York, the New York Times in September 2013. "Let them bleed both, to bleed to death to death: it is strategic thinking that prevails here. "

Efraim Inbar, director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies , stressed the same ideas in August 2016:

The West should seek to further weaken the Islamic state, but not to destroy the bad guys ... Leave killing other bad guys looks very cynical, but it is useful and moral to do so if it holds the bad guys and makes them less able to harm many kinds ... Furthermore, instability and crises sometimes contain omens positive change ... the US administration does not seem capable of recognizing that the AR may be a useful accessory to undermine Tehran's ambitious plan for domination of the Middle East.

Okay, not quite everyone.

But humanitarian website Avaaz, he certainly wants to end the war and restore peace.

Or not?

Avaaz is currently circulating a petition that collected more than one million signatures and is now a million and a half.She will probably reach with words like these:

100 children were killed in Aleppo since last Friday.

Now that's enough!

Avaaz continues to declare: "there is no way to stop this war, but there is only one way to prevent this terror from heaven - people everywhere are demanding an exclusion zone air to protect civilians. "

fly Zone? It does remind you of anything? This is the scheme that was used to destroy the air defenses of Libya, and opened the country to the regime change in 2011. He received an enthusiastic support from Hillary Clinton, whose taste for these same methods Syria has been duly registered.

And when the West calls "fly" it means that in fact there are some that can fly, but not others. With the no-fly zone in Libya, France, the United Kingdom and the United States could steal their fill, killing countless civilians and destroying infrastructure, leaving Islamist rebels carve installments of the country.

The Avaaz petition makes the same distinction. Some should be able to fly, but not others.

Build a sound and strong global appeal for Obama and other leaders, so that they resist the terror of Putin and Assad. This may be our last chance to help put an end to this mass slaughter of defenseless children.Add your name.

So actually it is a case of mass killing of defenseless children, and to end it would have us called Obama the "king of drones" to stop "terror from heaven . "

And not just Obama, but also other "good" NATO country leaders:

President Obama, the President Erdogan to President Hollande, Prime Minister May, and other world leaders: as citizens horrified the world by the slaughter of innocents in Syria, we call on you to impose a zone fly to northern Syria, including Aleppo, to end the bombing of Syrian civilians and to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those who need it most.

The time of publication of this petition is revealing. It falls exactly when the Syrian government provides the effort to end the war in recapturing the eastern part of the city of Aleppo. It is part of the huge current propaganda campaign aimed at reducing public knowledge of the war in Syria just two factors: the child victims and humanitarian aid.

In this perspective, the rebels disappeared. Like all their external supporters, Saudi money, Wahhabi fanatics, the recruits EIIL around the world, the US and French support arms. War is only the consequence of the strange fantasy of a "dictator" who is distracted by bombing defenseless children and blocking access to humanitarian aid. This view reduces the five-year war in Syria to the situation as it had been portrayed in Libya to justify the no-fly zone: nothing more than a vicious dictator who bombed his own people.

For an audience that loves to consume the world events in the form of fairy tales, it all fits together. Sign a petition on your computer and save the children.

The Avaaz petition does not seek to put an end to war or restoring peace. It clearly seeks to impede offensive Syrian government to resume Aleppo. The Syrian army has suffered heavy losses in five years of war, and its potential recruits have in fact been invited to escape the danger of military service by a trip to Germany. Syria needs of airpower to reduce its own losses. The Avaaz petition calls to paralyze the Syrian offensive, and thus to side with the rebels.

Wait - but does that mean they want the rebels prevail? Not exactly. The only rebel priori strong enough to prevail, is Da'esh. And nobody really wants that.

The raw truth is that to end this war, as with most of them, there must be a winner and a loser. When it becomes clear which of the two will prevail when the time comes where negotiations can take place, leading by example to amnesties.But this war can not be "discontinued by negotiation". This is the kind of outcome that the United States can not support only if Washington is able to use the negotiations to impose their own puppets - sorry, pro-democracy exiles settled in the West. But at present, they would be rejected as traitors by the majority of Syrians who support the government, and as apostates by the rebels. So it is necessary that one of the two belligerents won this war. The outcome would be the least worst that the Assad government overcomes the rebels in order to preserve the state. For that, the Syrian armed forces need to take the eastern part of Aleppo, occupied by the rebels.

The work Avaaz is to bring public opinion to oppose this military operation, in portraying as nothing short of a Russian-Syrian joint venture to massacre civilians, and especially children. For this, they call for a NATO military operation to shoot down (that's what "fly") the Syrian and Russian planes providing air support to the offensive of the Syrian army.

Even such dramatic measures are not intended to stop the war. They are designed to weaken the belligerent who has the upper hand to prevent him from winning. This means - to use the absurd phrase became popular during the Bosnian war [ in the US and US English, NdT ] - "putting players on the field on an equal footing" [ "create a level playing field" NdT], as if the war was a sporting event. This means continuing the war until there is nothing left of Syria, and that what remains of the Syrian people fulfill the refugee camps in Europe.

As the New York Times reported the Jerusalem since September 2013, "the synergy between the positions of Israel and the United States, if it is not explicitly articulated by the leaders of either country could be a crucial source of support for Obama as he seeks congressional approval for surgical strikes in Syria. "They added that" the concerns of Israel about its national security enjoy broad support in both major parties in Washington, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [ AIPAC, the main pro-Israel lobby in the US, NdT ] came Tuesday to bring the weight of its support for the Obama approach. "(This is the time when Obama was planning to" punish President Bashar al-Assad to use chemical weapons without the use of force to oust him from power "- before Obama rather chooses joining Russia to dismantle the Syrian chemical arsenal, a choice for which he continues to suffer the wrath of the Israeli lobby and the hawkish faction in Washington.) the statement of AIPAC "said nothing, however, the desired solution to the civil war ... "

Indeed. And section of Jerusalem in 2013 continued, "as the hope for the emergence moderate and secular rebel force, able to forge a democratic change and a constructive dialogue reduces, on Israel's side, a third approach draws attention: let the bad guys killing each other. "The perpetuation of this conflict is in every way the interests of Israel, 'said Nathan Thrall, a Jerusalem-based analyst for the International Crisis Group. "

The simple truth is that Syria is the victim of a Criminal Enterprise longtime Concerted to destroy the last secular Arab nationalist state in the Middle East, following the destruction of Iraq in 2003. While he was assigned to government repression of "peaceful demonstrators" in 2011, the armed uprising had been prepared for years and was supported by foreign powers: Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United States and France, among others. The French motivations remain a mystery unless they are linked to those of Israel, which sees the destruction of Syria as a way to weaken his main rival in the region, Iran. Saudi Arabia has similar ambitions weakening Iran, but for religious reasons. Turkey, the former imperial power in the region, has territorial ambitions and policies of its own. The division of Syria can satisfy them all.

This blatant conspiracy and fully open destruction of Syria is a major international crime, and the states mentioned above are all of the conspirators, accomplices of the guilty. They are joined in this Joint Criminal Enterprise by organizations ostensibly "humanitarian" as Avaaz, which broadcast the disguised war propaganda in child protection.This works because most people simply can not believe that their government would do such things. It's hard to overcome this comforting faith. It's more natural to believe that criminals are malicious people in a country which, in reality, they understand nothing.

There is no chance that this criminal enterprise retains the attention of prosecutors of the International Criminal Court, like most major international organizations is completely controlled by the US. For example, the Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations for Political Affairs, which analyzes and frame political issues to the Secretary General Ban Ki Moon is a US diplomat Jeffrey Feltman, who was one of the cornerstones of Clinton team at the State Department while she was working for regime change in Libya. And accomplices of this criminal enterprise include all pro-governmental organizations "non-governmental" as Avaaz, which grow hypocrisy to new depths by exploiting the compassion for children in order to justify and perpetuate this crime major against humanity and against peace in the world.
