Western countries are behind so-called international condemnation - the same ones responsible for instigating violence for regime change.

Salt agreed that Western media Libya and Syria coverage "has been appalling." NATO intervention everywhere causes mass death, destruction and human misery. 

Western Media distortions and lies blame victims, not perpetrators. Al Jazeera notably "lost all credibility." America's media and BBC never had any. Their Libya and Syria reporting reflects "blind support of anything that discredits" governments Western nations oppose.

Washington "is doing its utmost to drive Syria into a corner," including financing its opposition and using proxy sources to arm insurgents. 

Security Council efforts may try instituting a no-fly zone, "opening the door to foreign attack" like against Libya. So far, Russia and China strongly oppose turning Syria into another charnel house.

Knowing their long interventionist histories, it's "inconceivable that the US and Israel, along with France and Britain" aren't behind violence in Syria for regime change.

If Washington, its Western allies, and Israel succeed, "every last Baathist and Alawi will be hunted down" the way Gaddafi loyalists have been arrested or murdered in cold blood.

Supportive of Israel, Washington's wanted Syria's government ousted "for twenty years. The dismantling of unified Arab states along ethno-religious lines has been an aim of Israel's for decades."

Whatever Israel wants from Washington it gets, including unqualified support for its worst crimes of war and against humanity.
