FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
After the small numbers of rebels defending the village were overwhelmed,
soldiers and members of the largely Alawite Shabiha militia moved in to
begin inflicting reprisals.
“It appears that Alawite militiamen from surrounding villages descended
on Tremseh after its rebel defenders pulled out, and started killing the
people,” Fadi Sameh, an opposition activist from the village, told
Reuters.
“Whole houses have been destroyed and burnt from the shelling. Every
family in the town seems to have members killed. We have names of men, women
and children from countless families.”
The Hama Revolutionary Council claimed that the total death toll reached 220.
“They died from bombardment by tanks and helicopters, artillery shelling
and summary executions,” it said.
The Syrian government said that 50 people had died in the village, but claimed
that the massacre was carried out by rebels and foreign journalists.
“The bloodthirsty media in collaboration with gangs of armed terrorists
massacred residents of Tremseh village … to sway public opinion against
Syria and its people and provoke international intervention on the eve of a
UN Security Council meeting,” state-run news agency SANA said.
The first reports of the killings filtered through as the United Nations
Security Council held a closed-door session to debate a resolution to
threaten the Assad regime with mandatory sanctions if it failed to implement
an updated peace plan.
But Russia threatened to veto it, demonstrating the continued paralysis of the
international response to the Syrian crisis.
Syria’s main opposition alliance said that the massacre left the international
community with no choice but to act.
“To stop this bloody madness which threatens the entity of Syria, as well
as peace and the security in the region and in the world, requires an urgent
and sharp resolution of the Security Council under Chapter VII (of the UN
Charter) which protects the Syrian people,” the Syrian National Council
said.
Chapter VII allows for punitive measures against regimes considered a threat
to the peace, including economic sanctions and military intervention.
“We expect members of the Security Council to assume total responsibility
to protect defenceless Syrians against these shameful crimes,” the
council added, calling the massacre “among the more infamous genocides
of the Syrian regime.”
