Syria Earthquake: US & EU refuse to help Syrians - with Vanessa Beeley
US, UK, EU polticises Humanitarian response to earthquake in Syria and Turkey
Crippling sanctions prevent the arrival of international rescue aircraft to Syrian airports.
I speak with Kevork Almassian of Syriana Analysis about the inhumanity of Western regimes who are politicizing their response to the earthquake victims in Syrian territory under the protection of the Syrian government:
This illustrates an observation of the United States government we have come to more fully appreciate over the past few years. It is and has always been a hierarchical structure which demeans the supposed unalienable rights it acknowledges even it cannot confer - the creator conferred individual right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When we allow an entity to demean human beings in our name we also give that entity the right to demean all of us. These wars of conquest have always been an abomination and have always been leading exactly where we now are. Understanding freedom is something entirely different than what we see here. We reap what we sow.
Please list some humanitarian agencies that do good work in government areas of Syria; we’ ve sent money to MSF, DoctorsWithout Borders in Canada as I believe they operate everywhere. I’m ashamed that Canadian government also is not helping Syria, is in lockstep with USA, EU. ( Our connection to Syria goes back to our first visit in 1981, subsequent visits over the years.) Thank you for covering this...
