Here we are with full bellies. Can we even imagine how these people are suffering?

The politics of starvation: Syria’s civilians go hungry after months of sieges

“Bread is a dream for children inside Yarmouk Camp,” says Fuad, a Syrian Palestinian music teacher who tries to help bring food to the 20,000 Palestinians besieged inside Yarmouk. Standing by a barrier of sand and rubble that blocks an entrance to the camp in south Damascus, he adds that “people have been trapped in there for 185 days and are sick because they are eating weeds we used to feed our animals.

Syria is dotted with sieges and blockades of cities, towns and districts which in some cases are producing mass starvation. International attention is currently focused on the Old City of Homs where between 2,500 and 4,000 civilians are besieged along with several thousand rebel fighters.

Just waiting now for one of the islamonazi's to start the latest BLOOD LIBEL about Jewish doctors harvesting organs from the dead and dying for transplants in Israel. The uneducated morons don't see that the organs only have a life of 6 hours after removal from a LIVING BODY.

Why is it that whenever documented truth is presented, alll of the Palestinian supporters just suddenly disappear?

sadly syrians, out of desperation. have eaten lions, camels, dogs and even in a few cases human flesh.

Assad is at war with more than half the syrian population. It was bad under his father, but Bashar has gone mad with power and thinks he is invulnerable, even though members of his circle have fallen.

The game plan is his father's, but this time it is against his own citizens.

I can remember the US having a civil war in which famine was a weapon of the North. But that is the nature of war itself. The Syrians are doing nothing worse than has been done for millennia by humans.

Problem is that except for the Free Syrian Army, the Syrian opposition forces to Assad are just as bad for the innocent Syrians who want no part of this internal war. Now over 125,000 dead Syrians & more to come. Them boys sure do know how to party.
