Breaks my heart every time.
I’m reblogging again this because I would really like to know the context behind this photo, so could anyone help me trace it?
This is why don’t like photos uploaded without description. ={
It’s from Syria, Aleppo (?), a man hugging the tricycle that his son, who was killed in an air strike, used to ride.
Yarmouk residents gather to await a food distribution from UNRWA in Damascus, Syria.
UNRWA’s Commissioner General, Filippo Grandi entered Yarmouk camp during the resumption of UNRWA’s humanitarian aid distribution this morning. He was shocked by the condition of the Palestine refugees he spoke to and the extent of war damage done to homes. - UNRWA
A family in Aleppo moments after they escaped the ruins of their home after Assad’s forces dropped a barrel of TNT on it. The barrel was one of a dozen dropped on the city today alone.
Nearly 250,000 people have fled Aleppo in the last 4 weeks, the single largest refugee migration since the start of the Syrian Revolution almost 3 years ago. Aleppo, a city we like to claim is the oldest inhabited city on Earth, is being razed to the ground.
Thanks @TahrirSy
BEKAA VALLEY, LEBANON: The little Syrian boy sits proudly next to his snowman and smiles for CNN’s Christian Streib. He has no coat, gloves or hat to protect him from the freezing cold, but for a moment he is distracted from the harsh reality of life inside a makeshift refugee camp in Lebanon. We do not know his name, but he is one of 842,000 refugees the U.N. says are spending the winter in Lebanon after fleeing a brutal three-year civil war in Syria.
Missile strikes against Syria could be launched “as early as Thursday,” senior U.S. officials said Tuesday as the White House intensified its push toward an international response to the suspected use of chemical weapons.
Your take on this: Right move or wrong move?
This is what courage and bravery looks like.

Meet the Ladies of the Free Syrian Army – They Have Guns, Dead Families, and Nothing to Lose
An all-female FSA brigade gathers inside Auntie Mahmoud’s house in Atmeh, Syria. Photos by Andreas Stahl.
Just a few hundred meters from the Turkey-Syria border lies Atmeh, a once quiet farm town that, in recent months, has become a safe haven for the Free Syrian Army. Fifteen thousand Syrians roam freely, displaced by the civil war, along with various brigades and Islamic militants. There’s also Auntie Mahmoud’s house—a meeting place for a local all-female unit of FSA fighters.
Auntie Mahmoud is a tough old broad who’s happy to shake your hand, even while other Syrian women in town naturally shy away. She lives in a small house across the street from a FSA base and makes it her business to know everything that goes on around her. Her living room is carpeted with thin mattresses, and when we visited her recently, we found eight women, draped in black hijabs and seated with Kalashnikovs resting on their laps. These brave women are members of the FSA who are ready to plunge into intense urban firefights alongside their male counterparts, if needed. Though they originally hail from cities like Aleppo, Hama, and Idlib, many of them now live in the camp near Atmeh and share strikingly similar backgrounds: each of their husbands was killed or imprisoned while fighting Assad’s regime, their homes were leveled by shelling and other attacks, and over the course of two years of Syria’s civil war, they all grew tired of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for a favorable outcome to the conflict.
Am Ar’ou, a 37-year-old former law student from Aleppo, is the leader of the brigade. Wearing a military vest and with her face completely veiled in niqab, she stroked her rifle as she recounted how her husband was arrested only because he had a beard and prayed five times a day. She worked closely with the FSA when the war began, storing weapons and supplies in her home until the cache was discovered, shelled, and destroyed. After the attack, she spent three months in the hospital with jaw, hand, and back injuries. Once discharged, she had no home to return to and became a refugee in her own country. She traveled to the camp in Atmeh and soon found other women who also had nothing but one another, sad stories, and some guns.
Safa, who has been involved with the revolution against Assad from the beginning, walks through the streets of Atmeh.
The women in Am’s brigade have declared jihad against President Assad in the name of freedom, democracy, and women’s rights in an overwhelmingly male-dominated society. But they’re also wary of some of their allies because Atmeh is a hotbed of rebel activity and home to hard-line Salafist Islamic groups such as Jabhat al-Nusra (one of the best-known Islamic groups fighting in Syria today, who were recently added to the US’s list of terrorist organizations), the al-Farouq Brigade, al Qaeda, and various other foreign mujahideen fighters. This has made Am and her comrades’ mission particularly difficult to execute. Jabhat al-Nusra, for example, support the women in theory but refuse to fight alongside them or allow them to carry their weapons openly. Even though they’re all opposed to Assad, the Islamic rebel groups are determined to create an Islamic state in Syria, while most Syrians are opposed to this idea. Am and her brigade are devout Muslims, too, but they don’t want an Islamic state; they want a democracy.

Oh Syria, what became of you!?
If you were fleeing your homeland, what’s the one thing you would take? More than 1 million Syrians have been forced to ponder this question before making the dangerous flight to neighboring Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq, or another country in the region.
Iman, 25, is pictured with her son Ahmed and daughter Aishia in Nizip refugee camp in Turkey. Iman decided to flee their home in Aleppo after months of conflict when she heard accounts of sexual harassment against women in the city. The journey to Turkey was full of danger — Iman lost five relatives. The most important thing she was able to bring with her is the Quran she holds in this photograph. She says the Quran inspires a sense of protection. “As long as I have it with me,” she says, “I’m connected to God.”

#Syria, #Homs The champ, the beast, the warrior, the braveheart Dr.Mohamed Al Mohamed was injured during #ASSad shelling in Baba Amr. Dr Mohamed was one of the first, and few doctors that refused to leave his precious homeland, and risked his life every day to save others. He is committed to his duties, and provided medical assistance to citizens in several villages across Homs. May Allah SWT grant him shifaa’, and a speedy recovery… What an honorable man wallahi.. Keep him, and all others in your dua.
***LEAKED VIDEO*** “I’LL LET YOU SEE YOUR CHILDREN AGAIN IF YOU LET ME F**K YOUR WIFE!” (Date & Location Unknown) - Assad’s forces film themselves as they abduct a man off the street and mercilessly beat him. They drag him up and down the street all the while insulting him and stomping on his face. He’s not human to them, he’s a Syrian … something these men of Assad despise.
The man begs for them to let him live, or just to let him say farewell to his children, he knows all too well, as do most Syrians, that few people survive ad-hoc (and even ‘forma’) abductions and beatings like this. He tells them that he has children and a wife, to which they tell him over and over again “We’ll let you see your children if you let us fuck your wife?” … “How about that? will you let us fuck your wife?”.
This man most likely did not survive. You can tell that he has nothing to offer them, and when this is the case, they will usually kill you in Asasd’s Syria. An even more horrible thought is that they probably went to his home where his wife and children were waiting for their father to come home …
And you dare ask Syrians why they rose up and revolted against this?

A Syrian child’s tears that will break your heart. Share this so the world can see how our innocent children are treated… may Allaah ﷻ be with them!

Verily with hardship there is ease.

Even more disturbing Instagram images from the Israeli army
These are from Instagram user “ybaruch,” who describes himself as “Retired Operations Sergeant at the Israeli army, now just a student” and gives his age as 21. He says that all the 144 images images posted to his account are his. Many of the images in his account indicate that “ybaruch” took part in frequent night raids and armed attacks on Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank.
Photo 1: The caption says “Oops … one less Arab. Let’s see if he’ll try to escape from us again.” Posted on May 17, 2012.
Photo 2: An Israeli soldier plays a “card game” with confiscated Palestinian identity cards in the occupied West Bank, posted October 18, 2012.

A young Israeli soldier was reprimanded by his superiors this week after his urge to share his military life with friends and strangers online led him to post a photograph on Instagram offering a view of the back of a Palestinian boy’s head in the cross hairs of a sniper rifle.

“Technology and media have changed. The distribution of images has changed. But the exaggerated sense of power and the blatant disregard for human life and dignity have remained: this is what occupation looks like.”
Syrian rebels continue to gain ground in their war against President Bashar al-Assad and those forces that remain loyal to the Assad regime.
Taqba Dam The country’s largest dam has been seized by rebel forces, giving President Bashar al-Assad’s opposition control over the country’s largest source of hydro-electric power.
Damascus The Assad regime has been forced to send tanks to defend loyalist positions in the district of Jobar, in an attempt to halt rebel momentum, following a series of opposition victories which allowed the rebel forces to push closer towards the city’s center.
Next steps Negotiations finally appear to be considered a legitimate option by the Assad regime. According to the Syrian government, national reconciliation minister Ali Haidar will meet with the head of the Syrian National Council to discuss the country’s future. source
