Islamic State declares control of Yarmouk camp, "pro-Palestinians" silent

Yesterday, the Islamic State declared that it had seized control of the Palestinian Arab "refugee" camp in Yarmouk, Syria. While you will sometimes see the "pro-Palestinian" crowd say how terrible things are in Yarmouk, the amount of attention given to it by them - and as a result, by the media - is tiny compared to how they report anything Israel does. The Action Group...

Statistics on Palestinians in Syria that "pro-Palestinian" groups won't mention

Here are some statistics that most "pro-Palestinian" groups won't bother to mention, from the Action Group of Palestinians in Syria's Facebook page: At least 45 Palestinians were recently tortured to death, the number who have been tortured to death in Syrian prisons is now at 333. Jordan had as many as 15,000 Palestinian refugees from Syria but that number has declined...

48 Palestinians in Syria have starved to death so far

From Al Arabiya: Starvation victim in Syria Severe hunger in a besieged refugee camp for Palestinians in southern Damascus has claimed two lives, raising the death toll to 48 people killed, an opposition Syrian group said Saturday in a statement. The Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC), a coalition of 40 opposition groups, said Yarmouk camp has depleted its food...

Lebanon treating Palestinian Syrians like dirt, no one cares

From IPS: Over the past year more than 50,000 Palestinian refugees have fled violence, chaos and destitution in Syria to seek sanctuary in Lebanon. The vast majority have found themselves living in dire poverty, and trapped in chronically insecure existence. Denied assurances of legal residence many are unsure if and how they can continue to live in the country into the New Year. "Who, I mean really who from the Palestinian families can pay 200...

The siege on Palestinian Arabs that the world ignores

The Lebanon Daily Star reported last month: BEIRUT: Residents and fighters fear they may be starved out of the Damascus suburb of Yarmouk as the siege of the Palestinian area approaches its fifth month, mirroring the increasingly desperate humanitarian situation in many of the capital’s suburbs. The relatively new practice of blockading neighborhoods reflects a shifting strategy among rebel and government forces, analysts say, as both sides hunker...

PFLP-GC claims 23,000 Syrian Palestinians have fled to Sweden

The PFLP-GC claims that some 23,000 Palestinian Arabs from the Yarmouk camp in Syria have fled to Sweden during the civil war. Yarmouk camp The group, which supports the Syrian regime, blames the opposition for setting up their forces in the camp. I couldn't find verification of the numbers, but they are not unrealistic. In 2012 there were over 2000 Palestinian Arabs...

PalArab death toll in Syria: 1597. Plus, reports Syria now using fuel-air bombs.

According to the Action Group of Palestinians of Syria, the number of Palestinian Arabs killed in Syria so far is 1597. Eight were killed last week. Here is a video from yesterday of the aftermath of an airstrike at the Yarmouk camp, where most Palestinian Syrians live. So called "pro-Palestinian" groups are about as silent as they usually are. Instead, they are protesting outside Israeli stores in England and Australia. An Israeli company selling...

Palestinian death toll in Syria rises above 1000

From the beginning of the Syrian uprising until the end of February, 1036 Palestinian Arabs have been killed, according to the "Working Group of Syrian Palestinians." Since then, it appears that several more are being killed every day: 4 on March 2 5 on March 5 12 on March 6 5 on March 9 8 on March 10 You must have seen the news coverage of the many "pro-Palestinian" demonstrations outside world embassies protesting these deaths every day, right? Here's...

Five more Palestinian Arabs killed without the media noticing

On Wednesday, five more Palestinian Arabs were killed in Syria. A rocket shot at the Yarmouk camp killed three, including a mother expecting her sixth child. Another was killed in Jobar and one in Homs. Of course, "pro-Palestinian" groups have been silent. Meanwhile, the Free Syrian Army warned Hezbollah to stop interfering in Syria or else they might attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. And Reuters has a story on the increased numbers of refugees streaming...

4 more Pals killed in Syria - but by mentioning it I'm engaging in "Assad-washing"

Palestine Today reports four more Palestinian Arabs killed in Syria in the past couple of days. But don't expect to find anything about this in the "pro-Palestinian" Electronic Intifada site. In fact, if I dare to mention Palestinian Arabs being killed in Syria, I'm engaging in a horrible crime myself. One that the human rights defenders in EI call "Assad-washing." Really! Already last April, they were getting nervous that the tens...

5 Palestinian Arabs killed, 12 injured. But it was in Syria, so no one cares

Yesterday 5 Palestinian Arabs were killed in Syria, and 12 more wounded. Four were killed in the Yarmouk camp by Syrian shelling, and one more was killed by a sniper in the Adra camp. "Pro-Palestinian" groups have not commented. Nor will they. Because Arabs killed by Arabs are a dog-bites-man story that can be buried or ignored, but those killed by Jews are a war crime and a propaganda bonanz...

25 PalArabs killed in Syrian mosque airstrike. "Pro-Palestinian" groups silent.

From France24: Syrian fighter jets bombed the Palestinian Yarmouk camp in Damascus on Sunday, killing at least 25 people sheltering in a mosque in an area where Syrian rebels have been trying to advance into the capital, opposition activists said. The attack was part of a month-long campaign by President Bashar al-Assad’s forces to eject rebels fighting to overthrow him from positions hemming in Damascus. It came a day after warplanes bombed rebels...

500 dead - and hypocritical "pro-Palestinian activists" are silent

You know how all the Israel-haters pretend to be "pro-Palestinian"? Here's more proof that they are anything but. It appears that as of today, more than 500 Palestinian Arabs have been murdered in Syria by Bashir Assad's regime. (Calculation: 482 documented on October 7, 8 killed last Friday, 12 killed today.) Have any of the supposedly "pro-Palestinian" groups, like "Ship to Gaza" or "Miles of Smiles," said anything about this? Have there been...

Will anyone call this Jordanian action "apartheid"?

I noted back in April that Jordan was segregating Palestinian Syrians from other Syrians fleeing across the border, not allowing most of them to enter the country. HRW just caught up: The Jordanian authorities have forcibly returned some newly arriving Palestinians from Syria and threatened others with deportation, Human Rights Watch said today.Since April 2012, the authorities have also arbitrarily detained Palestinians fleeing Syria in a refugee...

Report: 14 "Naksa" mourners in Syria killed - by Palestinian terrorists! (UPDATED x3)

From Ma'an: Fourteen Palestinian refugees were reported killed and another 43 injured on Monday, a report from the Palestinian government's WAFA news said. The victims were part of a massive group in Al-Yarmok, an unofficial Palestinian refugee camp in the Syrian capital of Damascus, mourning the death of between 10-23 Palestinians by Israeli fire on the Golan Heights ceasefire line the day before. Angered over the failure of camp leaders to...
