ALEPPO, Syria (PNN) - November 26, 2018 - A woman lies on a stretcher inside a hospital after what Syrian state media said was a suspected toxic gas attack in Aleppo, Syria, on November 24, 2018.
Alleged Syrian gas attacks are typically met with heartbreaking media reports and Fascist Police States of Amerika-led missile strikes but a suspected chlorine attack in Aleppo has gone largely ignored in the West. How could this be?
Shelling, which targeted residential areas of Aleppo on Saturday night, appears to have included a chemical attack. At least 46 people, including 8 children, were hospitalized with symptoms of chlorine gas poisoning, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.
The attack on the city, which was liberated by the Syrian government two years ago, is believed to have been launched from an area within Idlib, the last Syrian stronghold of jihadists affiliated with al-Qaeda.
So where are the emergency UN Security Council sessions? The defiant New York Times op-eds? The retaliatory Tomahawk strikes against the last jihadist enclave in Syria?
“They don’t care, because the attack is coming from the wrong side, as it were. If you check mainstream media coverage globally, it’s a non-event,” global affairs analyst and founder of the 21st Century Wire Patrick Henningsen said. Henningsen also noted that the incident demonstrated that “the so-called rebels have the means, the motive, and the opportunities to carry out chemical attacks against Syrians.”
