I guess this is a good time to recommend Joe Sacco's Footnotes in Gaza, which reconstructs a forgotten massacre in Khan Younis during the Suez Crisis.

It is a genuine toss-up who's worse between them and Assad, though. About the best you can say for Assad is that he commits his atrocities behind closed doors rather than streaming them on YouTube, even if his Shia militias are often a tad less decorous.

the problem is that one of them is beloved by the Western media, which faithfully repeats each and every one of their racist screeds and claims as if they were verified and unquestionable facts

that one using their Western media platform to shill for other horrible groups is bad

Assad's been responsible for approximately fifteen times as many civilian casualties as ISIS, according to the Amnesty International-endorsed Syrian Observatory of Human Rights. The status quo is also genocide, just for a different ethnic group and with rather more sophisticated weaponry.

shut the gently caress up. you�re trying to compare a state government embroiled in civil war to a right wing death cult. ISIS was occupying low population density areas in eastern Syria and Northern Iraq. what do you think would�ve happened if they�d occupied places people actually lived in?

I mean, we can compare them with the Idlib rebels, who are more moderate but operating off a generally similar ideological playbook, and have mainly been fighting in one of the two most densely-populated parts of Syria. They're at two or three thousand civilian deaths to the government's eighty-five thousand.

Maybe don't be quite so quick to go on outraged rants when you're so obviously unfamiliar with what's going down there. Speaking personally, seeing the little lines of mass graves get filled in behind the Tishreen military hospital on Google Earth was loving haunting. There's also Saydnaya, which is responsible for almost three times as many deaths as ISIS on its own.

quote:

The report reveals a routine of mass extrajudicial executions by hanging inside Saydnaya prison that was in place between 2011 and 2015. Every week � and often twice a week � victims were hanged in groups of up to 50 people, in the middle of the night and in total secrecy. There are strong reasons to believe that this routine is still ongoing today. Large numbers of detainees have also been killed as a result of the authorities� extermination policies, which include repeated torture and the systematic deprivation of food, water, medicine and medical care. In addition, detainees at Saydnaya Prison are forced to obey a set of sadistic and dehumanizing rules.

The findings of the report are based on an intensive investigation, which was carried out over the course of one year, from December 2015 to December 2016. It involved first-hand interviews with 84 witnesses that included former Saydnaya guards and officials, detainees, judges and lawyers, as well as national and international experts on detention in Syria.

A previous report published in August 2016, for which Amnesty International partnered with a team of specialists at Forensic Architecture, University of Goldsmiths to create a virtual 3D reconstruction of Saydnaya prison, estimated that more than 17,000 people have died in prisons across Syria as a result of the inhuman conditions and torture since the Syrian crisis began in 2011. This figure does not include the estimated 13,000 additional deaths as a result of the extrajudicial executions exposed in this report.

...

Not one of the detainees condemned to hang at Saydnaya Prison is given anything that resembles an actual trial. Before they are hanged, victims undergo a perfunctory, one or two-minute procedure at a so-called Military Field Court. These proceedings are so summary and arbitrary that they cannot be considered to constitute a judicial process. Testimonies from former government officials, guards, judges and detainees helped Amnesty International shape a detailed picture of the farcical procedures that lead up to the hangings.

One former judge from a Syrian military court told Amnesty International the �court� operates outside the rules of the Syrian legal system. �The judge will ask the name of the detainee and whether he committed the crime. Whether the answer is yes or no, he will be convicted� This court has no relation with the rule of law. This is not a court,� he said.

The convictions issued by this so-called court are based on false confessions extracted from detainees under torture. Detainees are not allowed access to a lawyer or given an opportunity to defend themselves � most have been subjected to enforced disappearance, held in secret and cut off from the outside world. Those who are condemned to death do not find out about their sentences until minutes before they are hanged.

Love to get flippant about literal extermination camps.
