FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Pro-regime militiamen, known as shabiha, from nearby Alawite areas entered
Al-Kubeir, he said.
“They had guns and knives … They went there from nearby villages like
Asileh, which is Alawite,” he said of the offshoot of Shiite Islam from
which Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his family hail.
Laith said he had heard that the bodies of some young men from Al-Kubeir were
taken to Asileh.
“I heard from people I know in that village that last night (Wednesday)
the shabiha militiamen drank and danced around their corpses, chanting songs
praising Assad,” Laith said.
The murders were triggered when a local farmer wanted to enter Al-Kubeir but
was turned away at a checkpoint between Asileh and Al-Kubeir.
“The farmer still managed to get into Al-Kubeir, and that’s when regime
forces started to deploy around the farmland,” Laith said.
He vented his fury at UN observers for not arriving at the scene on Wednesday
when they were called “about 30 times, begging them to come to
Al-Kubeir to see what was happening.”
“But they did not come. They might as well be working with the shabiha.
We just can’t take this any more … people are being killed, everything is
a set-up, a lie. We only have God to rely on. Only God will help us.”
On Thursday, observer chief Major General Robert Mood said the army as well as
local residents were preventing his men from reaching the village to verify
the massacre claims.
One amateur video showed the bodies of a child and a woman, her face
splattered with blood.
Activists from Hama also blamed the shabiha for the murders in the hamlet,
where some 150 shepherds and farmers lived.
“I think they (the regime) used the thugs to deliver a message to the
Syrian people that ‘either you are with us or against us’,” Abu Ghazi
al-Hamwi – not his real name – said.
“People who do not take sides are a target, because the regime is running
out of options on how to stop the revolt. The regime tries to prove this is
a war, not an uprising. And this is how they do it.”
“The violence is worst in areas where Sunni and Alawite live near each
other. The regime is trying to break society in half,” he said.
Hamwi said he spoke to a survivor of the massacre, who pretended to be dead
after being hit on the head with a stick.
“He played dead in order to survive. He could barely speak. He was in a
very bad shape. You can imagine, he’d just lost 35 members of his family.”
He also blamed UN observers for not heading to the site of the massacre
quickly.
Another Hama-based activist, Mousab al-Hamadi said: “The regime wants to
create a sectarian clash in the country. The regime wants to burn down the
whole country.”
Hamadi said Syrians had lost faith in the international community.
“Everyone here is depending on the FSA (Free Syrian Army),” he said,
referring to rebel forces. “The international community has failed”
us.
Hamadi said there was no FSA presence in Al-Kubeir, which he said had not been
reported to have taken sides in the uprising.
“For 40 years we have lived under oppression. We know more massacres like
this may happen. We are ready to go to the end, even if it means half of the
Syrian people might get killed,” Hamadi said.
