The 40th Anniversary of the Hama Massacre: Sustained Collusion
“Atrocities, Massacres, and War Crimes” is a book edited by Alexander Mikhabridze, lawyer and professor of history at the University of Louisiana; It was published in 2013 as part of ABC-CLIO publications. The work is closer to a dictionary, in alphabetical order of facts starting from the year 689 BC, with the massacre of Babylon ordered by Sennacherib, King of Assyria, which resulted in the killing of the entire population of the city, and the diversion of the rivers to completely submerge it; And it ends in 2012, with the Houla massacre committed by the Syrian regime forces in the town of Taldo and its surroundings, and the number of its victims reached 108, including 34 women and 49 children (according to the United Nations, whose numbers the book was based on). The date of the book's publication explains the absence of subsequent massacres committed by Bashar al-Assad's army and the militias supporting it in other locations and dates in Syria, especially those that took the form of chemical attacks.

The sectarian clash erupts suddenly, without warning, and for trivial reasons, it may be an innocent or not innocent love story between two parties of different religions, or children messing with slogans or religious signs, or thuggery attacks with the intent of stealing a church or harming a mosque, then fires and blood shed After that, there will be nothing but sadness and the accumulation of anger in the souls, and the parrot constantly repeating the slogans of national unity, holding primitive customary sessions, and grooming beards between sheikhs and priests, and without fair trials that separate, and no punishment inflicted on the killers.
A clash in the imagined "Orthodox civilization".
Attention - when the "clash of civilizations" of Samuel Huntington became famous in the nineties of the last century - overshadowed the refutation of what is related to the clash between Western and Islamic civilizations, at the expense of Huntington's unusual view of what he singled out under the title "Orthodox Civilization". And the scope of its conflicts with other civilizations.

Freedom is personal and communitive.
I feel like I am in an excellent position to talk about freedom. I fought, bled, and was willing to give my life for it. Twenty-one years is what I gave in the name of freedom. I have witnessed the very best and the very worst of what a country implies when it states that its citizens are 'free' and lived to tell the tale.
Rose Loren Geer-RobbinsPublished 2 years ago in The SwampCall Me Freedom
What does freedom mean to you? Is it staying up all night and sleeping in? Having no one there to dictate how you spend your time or make the choices you do… Is it deciding that you will have that mimosa before noon, or choosing between the red or blue top without your partner breathing down your neck? Is it the luxury of being able to take a sick day when you need it? Does it arrive each time you head to the polling station and vote for what you want to see in the world? Is it buying enough food for the month and still being able to pay the bills? Perhaps freedom is having no bills! Perhaps it is being able to walk down the street where you live and feel safe.
