The Intercept on a third way in Syria
#1
The article written by a Syrian "activist" who has lost so many other activist friends points out there is another alternative to the two choices of Assad and Islamic radicals. Of course, he claims that when the revolution started they had no clear idea what they wanted but the spoke out to conquer their fear. This kind of reasoning would be a standard motif of the color revolution. And what is left out is that the student revolts as sponsored by the US Embassy and dark money were the planned precursors to the military invasions.

The article is crap. Quotes:

Quote:Jerf is only one of the innumerable Syrian revolutionary activists who have lost their lives over the past five years. An editor and documentarian, he helped train a generation of young Syrians to continue the fight for democracy in their country. But his story, and the stories of those like him who continue the spirit of the 2011 uprising, rarely register in broader narratives of the conflict. For all they have sacrificed, their struggles have gone largely ignored, in a framing of the conflict that has been convenient for the Assad government.

Leila Shami, co-author of the book "Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War," told me, "The Syrian government has taken huge efforts to frame the conflict as one solely between themselves and extremist groups. People are not aware that there is a third option in Syria, that there are many Syrians from a wide range of backgrounds who are still fighting for the original goals of the revolution."

I read a lot of responses. The author was just ripped a new one.

Deserving.
