With the
Damascene Merchant Elite throwing its support behind the revolution, the Massacre
of Houla has become a watershed moment in the history of the Syrian Revolution,
even as its impact on global consciousness remains uncertain.
Monday May 28, 2012
Death toll: 54, in
Hama, Homs, Aleppo and Daraa.

The Russia Guilt
In
response to Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov’s assertion that rebels share the
blame for the Houla Massacre, it’s worth reminding that Russia shares even more
of the blame in this regard. After all, they have been arming Assad and shielding
him politically since the beginning of the revolution. The blood that was shed
in Houla and is still being shed all across the country is on their hand. The
assertions made by Russian officials to the effect that the arms they are
sending to Syria are not the kind that can be used in the crackdown are
worthless in the absence of any verification. In reality, with their every act
and breath so far, Russian officials, to their eternal shame, insist on being
part of the problem in Syria, rather than the solution.
