Syrian Blogger Sentenced to Three Years in Jail
blind biker writes "The AP reports (via the Herald Tribune) of Tarek Bayassi, a 24-year old Syrian blogger sentenced to three years in jail for 'undermining the prestige of the state and weakening national morale.' The original sentence was six years but it was commuted on appeal. Apparently, this isn't an isolated case in Syria."
What Syrian territory has Israel invaded that was not done during a war started by Syria?
Anyone who says the Six-Day War was "started by Syria" is so steeped in Zionist delusion and propaganda, they're hopeless. Hell, Israel even attacked the US Navy during the Six Day war, and I am quite sure the Zionists in private discussion blame the US for that talking about how the US Navy "started it" by sending a signals intelligence ship anywhere near them. Of course, this kind of delusion is not one stated publicly.
If the same thing happened in any number of U.S. supported countries, he'd be dead now, and nobody in the U.S. would have read about it. Check out some of what goes on in Saudi Arabia. And don't forget that Israel regularly 'accidentally' kills reporters for exposing their crimes against the Palestinians.
