Endless War in Syria by Stephen Lendman Peace talks are a sham. All parties involved know it but persist in the charade going nowhere.  Assad is combatting US/Saudi supported terrorists, blamed for not surrendering to their demands, for unwillingness to let Syria become another US vassal state. Washington wants war, not peace. The proof is... Continue Reading →

Worthless PA Cease Settlements Draft Security Council Resolution by Stephen Lendman September 1993 Oslo was unilateral surrender, a Palestinian Versailles, getting nothing for renouncing armed struggle, recognizing Israel's right to exist, and agreeing to leave major unresolved issues for later final status talks.

Resumption of Farcical Syrian Peace Talks Delayed by Stephen Lendman Two weeks of proximity talks accomplished nothing. Nor will months more with US/Saudi terrorist groups representing the opposition. Assad rightfully vows to combat all armed groups killing Syrians until the nation is freed from their scourge.
