As Feared Assad's Thugs Murder 19 in Qudsaya

As noted in the last blog some Syrian netizens feared a massacre in Qudsaya. The massacre happened.

Remember how I said #Qudsaya in #Damascus was going to burn today? I was right. 19 killed so far, among them 5 from single family. (From NMSyria.)

 And the Revolution continues.

Al Arabiya columnist wonders why many Muslims protest over a 'film' no one saw (until some Egyptian yahoos with a TV program made it an issue) but no such protests occurred over the murder of Fatima of Idlib, whose photo of her decapitated body. Why is are Muslims not protesting over her? she asks.

Massacre at Qudsaya

Look at the Twitter feed forQudsaya
. Reports indicate Assad's forces have committed a massacre there and maybe they might murder even more people there soon. I hope that will not be the case.

On other matters I heard that a "senior military figure" from Hezbollah, Ali Hussein Nassif, was killed. It has been said that Hezbollah is sending fighters to Syria (Hezbollah denies this,) in a desperate attempt to protect the Assad regime from the justified wrath of his own people whom he slays day after day.

If Hezbollah is sending their fighters into Syria to protect Assad then I think Nasrallah and the rest of Hezbollah's leadership should feel ashamed sending their men to die for a murderous dictator who has lost any legitimacy and right to rule over Syria.

Also just heard about the bombing that just occurred in Aleppo. Alas these horrific deadly acts will surely continue until Assad is overthrown. Peace will never come as long as Assad continues to rule.

Assad blames everyone but himself for Syria's 'chaos'. Sadly unsurprising to me.

Also heard that Assad had to send in troops to repress his own hometown.

Assad sent thousands of troops to Latakia in order end clashes between pro and anti-government Alawite militias in his home city of Latakia. ...

Assad sent thousands of troops to Latakia in order bring stability back and end clashes in his home city of Aleppo [I think it means Latakia] as scores of Alawite militiamen were killed and many more were injured as heavy fighting continued between pro and anti-Assad militias in his home city of Kerdaha and the Sport City of Latakia province. (Source.)

 If Assad has to even send troops to oppress and terrorize his own hometown he is surely doomed.
