I don’t know about the legitimacy or otherwise of the alleged victims of Syrian gov. policy. But for sure, it is irrelevant to the issue of western insurrection of an elected Syrian gov.It is illegal to go to war with a sovereign state without declation of war and naming the country. The vote in UK parliament was illegal , The UN resolution quoted gave no mandate to bomb a sovereign state in pursuit of ISIS , neither did id it permit the declared proposition to depose Assad and replace his gov. with a western imposed choice .
The’ stop the war ‘ org. as are all org.s these days have long been run by MI5 /6 and exist to ensure that no protest movement is effective.

So why were the Syrians not allowed to speak?If that happened,what is the group think of STWC?Is it toxic?Is there any ongoing ‘self-awareness’/critique to mitigate ‘mission creep’into unhealthy,group think preoccupations?

The only way the war in Syria will end is if the Gulf states stop funding the Islamist rebels and the US stop trying to convince the world there are still moderate rebels involved in the fighting. The only people who should have a say on the future of Syria are the Syrian people who live in that country or who return after the conflict is over which with the help of Russia and Iran is now a possibility

‘Stop the War’ like to listen to their own voices, they think they know it all, and ignore the actual voices of war in favour of students who choose to protest during their weekends. A good article that shows how this organisation likes to ignore the real voices of war.

In reply to McRobbie. Yes, they may be against war, but STWC and affiliated organisations also have documented sympathies for Islamist policy and speakers. See this document published by Maryam Namazie's organisation, for example. The postscript by her is especially good at summing up a responsible perspective that attacks both racism and prejudice in the West as well as far-right Islamism.

In reply to Saul Till. Eh. Being told to crawl back under a bridge is "disagreeing with my monochrome view of the world" ???? What the fuck are you wittering on about?

In reply to DemSoc93. I'd agree with that.

In reply to Martin Gormley.

Wow! It’s as deliciously simple as that – ‘disagree with my monochrome view of the world and you’re a right-winger’. I can almost hear the shutters clunking down in your head when someone here mentions an uncomfortable fact.

You really are the reason sites like LFF need to exist.

In reply to Steven Hunt. Ah those jackals. And aren't there some running dogs too? You sound like a demented old fashioned commie.
