If the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world is
Damascus, and it is, the second oldest continuously inhabited city in the world
is Aleppo. It, too, is getting pounded these days. Today, Russian-made jet
fighters got involved in the action. Yet, the world keeps watching mesmerized
as a cobra facing a snake charmer.

News
Op-Eds & Special
Reports
We used to count individual martyrs, now we count massacres.
Each day a number of massacres are perpetrated across the country by pro-Assad
militias, especially in the provinces of Daraa, Damascus, Homs, Hama, Idilb and
Aleppo.
Video Highlights
In their attempt to hide, justify, whitewash the atrocities
and massacres perpetrated by pro-Assad militias and to keep painting the rebels
as terrorists, official and pro-Assad media sometimes contradict each other in
their attempt at distorting the truth. The truth in this case is that pro-Assad
militias stormed the apartment of a local activist in Midan District in
Damascus City, tortured and then executed him in cold blood. But Addounia TV,
ran by Assad’s cousin, Rami Makhlouf, reported that the activist was killed by “terrorists,”
while the state-owned Al-Akhbaraya showed the same scene and claimed the man was
himself a terrorist killed by local security forces in a showdown. Addounia
showed the man with his hands tied behind his backs, but Al-Akhbariyah’s
cameraman avoided showing the hands http://youtu.be/KpVFpPenCKg
