Latest NYT Big Lie: Russia Responsible for Syrian Refugee “Surge”

 

Times reporting shifts from the absurd to the contemptible.

According to The Times,
Russian airstrikes caused “surg(ing) civilian flight.” It lied,
claiming its “warplanes attacked the village of Ter Ma’aleh, killing at
least a dozen people and sending most of the residents into hurried
exile.”

“The
assault on the village was part of a wider escalation of violence
across the country that has displaced tens of thousands of people in
just weeks and led relief workers to warn that Syria is facing one of
its most serious humanitarian crises of the civil war.”
“The
intensity of the fighting, they say (who is ‘they?’), is fueling
increased desperation as a growing number of Syrians are fleeing to
neighboring countries and, especially, to Europe.”

Russian
airstrikes “l(ed) to the latest wave of displacement. (M)unitions
(used) added to the sense of fear.” Russia “target(ed) hospitals and
other medical facilities.” The Times cited a willfully misleading Human
Rights Watch report accusing Russia of killing civilians, despite no
corroborating evidence.

Fact: The Times article is a complete fabrication.

Fact:
Washington bears full responsibility for Syria’s refugee crisis.
Britain, France, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other rogue
partners share blame.

Fact: Russian intervention is a liberating, not displacing force. More on this below.

Fact:
Long before Russian airstrikes began on September 30 (less than a month
ago), half of Syria’s 23 million people were internally or externally
displaced.

Fact: Many headed for Europe years ago, numbers increasing dramatically in the past year or so.

Fact: Most Syrian refugees are in bordering countries Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as smaller numbers in Egypt.
