Israel used depleted uranium in airstrike on Syria: Report
A senior Syrian official says Israel has used depleted uranium in its recent airstrike against the Jamraya Research Center in the outskirts of Damascus.
The official, who was present near the attack site on Sunday morning, told Russia Today that Israel used “a new type of weapon” during the airstrike.
“When the explosion happened, it felt like an earthquake,” the official, who asked not to be named, added.“Then a giant golden mushroom of fire appeared. This tells us that Israel used depleted uranium shells,” the Syrian official said.
“Several civilian factories and buildings were destroyed. The target was just an ordinary weapons warehouse. The bombing is an ultimatum to us,” he added.
The Syrian official also refuted the claims by Western intelligence sources that the airstrike targeted transfers of weapons from the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah to Syria.
Jamraya Research Center had been targeted by another Israeli airstrike back in January.
The Sunday attack came shortly after Tel Aviv confirmed that its warplanes had hit another target in Syria on Friday.
On Saturday, US President Barack Obama said the Israeli regime has the right to launch airstrikes on Syria.
Syria’s Foreign Ministry has sent letters to the United Nations and its Security Council stating that Israel’s aggression shows the link between Tel Aviv and terrorist groups operating in Syria including the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
Meanwhile, the anti-Syria countries including Turkey and several Arab states in the region have been mum on Tel Aviv’s acts of aggression against Syria.

I don’t know what angers me more, non-Syrians who support (or look over) the brutality of the regime of al-Assad, or non-Syrians who vocally support and cheer the FSA (and hate the PFLP, Leila Khaled, Hezbollah, etc. for their resistance to Israel).
It’s an ongoing competition.

It has come to my knowledge and news and pics are circulating out of Syria that are extremely disturbing. The grave and tomb of hujr ibn adi, one of the prophet’s loyal companions has been destroyed and dug up and his remains disturbed. Why do you say? Well he was a sahaba so it shouldn’t be an issue right? No the salafis of the “FSA” don’t like it because he was loyal to Ali ibn abi Talib that’s why. This is not long after the damage and partial destruction of sayida zaynab mosque, the daughter of Ali ibn abi Talib. They would have you believe that “the Shia are targeting FSA or the Syrian people” when in fact they are targeting Shia areas in Syria and historical figures in islam and artifacts belonging to all Muslims, but since they have a connection to Ali ibn abi Talib they don’t want that. Add to that they are targeting Syrians who happen to be Shia.
Saddam tried to wipe Ali’s name from memory so did every other ruthless tyrant throughput history of Iraq and the Arab world. However, imam Ali (as) is timeless, he is in the hearts and minds. The salafis have been trying to do this since the dawn of islam, but they will never be successful.
Some people just don’t fear god, because they don’t believe in him. Just like we did throughout time, we will restore your fear of Allah or The Lord will take care of that for his chosen successor imam Ali.

This is just a very general statement based on a conversation I’m having with someone right now, but it needs to be said.
I can’t deal with statements that the Egyptian, Tunisian, Yemeni, Bahraini, etc. Revolutions were a “mistake” or that the country was somehow better off under the old regime….

Fact: In the past six months, more than 2,000 rocks were hurled at Israelis in Judea and Samaria. Rocks can kill.
In response to EretzYisrael’s newest (failed) propaganda attempt, I conjured this little bad boy.

Is Israel behind the UK and US support for the extremists
The other way round. UK and US is behind support of Extremists and support of Israel.

And here’s what I find so interesting (but tragic and angering):
But when Pakistanis were polled (you know, the PoC being slaughtered by the dozens via drone strikes), only 4% support attacks against civilians in any case.
When it comes down to it, this is reality. No matter how many times Pakistanis and Muslims are vilified, this is the reality of who is bloodthirsty and who isn’t.
And this is precisely why I do not, nor will I ever, apologize for speaking out for my people (the Muslim community).

THEY BRAVE ASSAD’S BOMBS AND PROTEST TO MARK SYRIA’S INDEPENDENCE DAY. Aleppo: Apr 17, 2013 - The day is remembered for Syria’s independence from France. However today it is celebrated for the eventual independence from the Assad regime.
Thanks @NuffSilence
That was so powerful.
What I don’t get is that the majority of Aleppo not only supports the regime (70%, according to the rebels), yet the opposition feels the security to openly proclaim itself as a legitimate representative of our people (there are many groups in the opposition that are not committing atrocities, such as the PYD).
Syria has already had its Independence Day. Syria has already been free from colonialism (even if it is not currently free from authoritarianism) and imperialism. We did not struggle with our lives and our blood to be in the position we are now in, in which a colonial era flag is used by a brutal, western funded opposition to represent “hurriyeh” (freedom) and democracy.
As someone who has had extended family arrested/killed and hurt by both the regime and the rebels, I can tell you that both sides will face retribution on Yawm al Qiyamah, insha’allah.
But colonialism will never be accepted by the Syrian people, not will we be deceived. Syria’s independence has already come. It is time for the terrorists to go. Also, why bother celebrating Independence Day if y’all stay using the French mandate flag? Khalsouna ba2a.
Non-Syrians should really stop talking about matters which they do not comprehend.
