To an almost total extent, the Western world’s news about Syria’s war is written by one set of participants, with the corporate media constantly citing difficult-to-verify reports from “activists” aligned with the opposition Syrian National Congress (SNC). The case of little Sari Saoud is no exception He was just another of many, many victims of the Syrian conflict. In particular, he’s one of the many snuffed out with inhuman tactics in the ongoing propaganda war to secure a Western “humanitarian” crusade against Damascus.
The story as presented is golden – the snipers shot 9-year-old Sari inside Homs, the rebel city, so it can be presumed he was rebel kid. Further, he was a Christian, or at least his mother is, judging by the crucifix necklace the dazzled activist cameraman couldn’t zoom out from. The first news coverage was swift; Al Jazeera showed call-phone video of the dead boy, naked, embraced by his mother on the floor of a somewhat clinical-looking room. As shown just then on activist Internet sites, the announcer described “a mother crying over her son” who “was killed by gunfire from Syrian security forces early today.”
Al Jazeera reportedly also specified he was “a Christian child” killed by Syria “to incite hatred in [the] Syrian conflict.” This is all to be expected, of course, in the activist mind and the activist-informed mind. An insane dictator can kill Sunni Muslims and Christians alike, with hatred and revenge always serving his main desire to crush all good people and serve Satan.
Besides the famous video cited above, two others at least were made of the boy’s corpse before his mother arrived at the clinical place. As usual, these emphasized the young age of the victim, zooming in on the gore, and demanding intervention. By his gloved hands, the video host seems to be a rebel doctor; he holds up Sari’s left arm so we can see the gaping exit wound in his left armpit.
A contact who can understand spoken Arabic tells me the doctor describes the fatal injury – a shot clear through the chest – and says “look at this boy. It’s a gift from Bashar Al Assad to Burhan Ghalioun.” Ghalioun was the chairman of the opposition SNC, being slapped with dead children for his defiance of the regime. But the video host seemed to feel he was also defying common sense, that despite all the slaps, Ghalioum “still doesn’t want a military intervention.”
The video host urged him to change course and openly call for outright foreign belligerence by the mostly-Christian nations of NATO, to stop the killing of little Christian kids like Sari. (Under pressure like this, Ghalioun finally resigned in May 2012, just days before the pivotal Houla massacre.)
My contact says the host gives no details on how the activist crowd had come into possession of Sari’s body; to opposition propagandists, the details don’t matter, aside from who was to blame and what needed done. That vagueness works against their credibility here, when the boy’s mother and the activists’ own videos, working together, tell an opposite story with an opposite moral. She says the well-known local terrorists pulled the trigger on her son, and briefly stole his body from her care so they could make those interventionist videos with it. Her wish to stop the killing was to bring the Syrian army back to Homs, because it wasn’t there on November 26 to stop those who killed her son, among so many others.....read more
