A very good 30 min documentary about SRF in Idleb and their fight with Daesh.

WSJ report of the life in war torn Aleppo

AYMENN AL-TAMIMI sabotages himself badly.

The kindest interpretation is that he is not mature enough to be writing seriously on Syrian events.

His obsession with displaying corpses and deferentially analysing stuff from “holy warriors” creates the suspicion that he is deeply addicted to and enthralled by the whole thing.

It’s like he’s is in the grip of the biologically driven and irrational impulses that have propelled young males onto the battle field since time began.

Scientific fact: wars are largely fought on the ground by adolescents who have under-developed perspectives, judgement and awareness of risk – in fact, they are easily recruited and directed because they crave the battle experience.

So is AYMEEN AL-TAMIMI instead finding an outlet for his urges with his gory oversized pictures of corpses he pushes at people scrolling down this site?

(And MATTHEW also seems very happy to help him row this boat despite reader appeals to at the very least edit the snuff photos down to normal size).

See what I, TARA and SAMI had to say about Aymenn’s actions on the previous post:

Regarding the “elite” Desert Falcons, Oryx Blog has a good picture of the sort of equipment this outfit has been reduced to cannibalizing.

Slow, Grinding Strategy of Inflicting Syria Misery

By BEN HUBBARD, Beirut
The NY Times

The weapons of choice — barrel bombs, blockades and starvation — reflect the government’s diminished military capacity as much as its continued willingness to use indiscriminate force.

Instead of attacking Ayman Jawad al-Tamimi’s personality try to argue against his ideas.

Do these Jihadi groups exist in Syria or not?

Are they “tourists” swimming by the ocean or invaders eating our (Syrian) meat and cutting heads?

When “Syria ‘lover'” attacks Ayman Jawad al-Tamimi like this, I know for sure that Ayman Jawad al-Tamimi is presenting an argument this “lover” can not handle, or simply does not agree with. What happened to “freedom of speech?”

Look at the normal aggression that killed any real discourse on this blog. Although I could classify these feeble attempts as immature, but, for me the “maturity” or “immaturity” argument is lame at best. I also see it as an attack against those who are running this blog.

Mjabali you never responded to the article I posted about the analysis of the Alawi sect in All4Syria. Can you go and look at it from my previous post and tell me what you think

MJABALI #6, what I an others here object to having to handle is coming to this site now and being confronted with sensationalist, sordid oversized images of dead people.

That is a revealing and personal choice of Ayman Jawad al-Tamimi. Don’t be ridiculous, it is nothing to do with “freedom of speech”.

It debases and detracts from the value of this site. It builds on the horror and nastiness which repels people away from the real and significant human and other issues of the Syrian situation.

If it doesn’t bother YOU, I suggest you print out those blog entries in color and show it around to your neighbors, workmates and any other normal people you know. It will be like you are sharing porn with them.

And by the way “normal aggression” did not kill this blog. It was the tsunami of junk postings, and it’s now being further wounded by poor judgement and poor taste by showcasing such images.

I wonder how this change helped the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant retake territory in Greater Deir Ezzor.
