Protesters gathered in cities across the US and other parts of the world, in demonstration against President Donald Trump’s missile strikes on a Syrian airbase.
Demonstrators also expressed their resentment against Washington’s warmongering policy and said bombing Syria would create even more conflict, not resolution.

Anti-war demonstrations have been planned this weekend for 50 cities across the US
Press TV reports:
Protesters in New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, on Friday chanted slogans against Trump’s controversial order and showed their support for the Syrian people.
Activists in New York had signs denouncing the bombing, including placards that read “Bombing Syria doesn’t protect people, it KILLS THEM” and “NO! In the name of humanity, we refused to accept a fascist America.”
The demonstrators also expressed their resentment against Washington’s warmongering policy and said bombing Syria would create even more conflict, not resolution.
“It’s only going to escalate the violence,” Martin Jennings, a protester, told local media. “I’m really concerned about the future of the Syrian people.”
Some protesters said they did not believe Syrian President Bashar al-Assad was behind Tuesday’s suspected chemical attack and said intervention would only make things worse.
“Get out of Syria, stop interfering, and let the people of Syria decide for themselves,” protester Greg Butterfield said.
At least two people were arrested in New York City while another four were rounded up in Jacksonville, Florida.
Anti-war demonstrations have been planned for 50 cities across the US for the weekend.
The US military launched 59 cruise missiles on the al-Shayrat airbase in Homs province in the early hours of Friday.
Trump said the operation was in response to the chemical attack in Idlib province. The Syrian government has strongly denied responsibility for that attack.
In London, the British anti-war campaign group Stop the War Coalition took to the streets of Westminster to protest the US airstrikes.
In a message posted to the group’s Facebook page, the organization said, “The Stop the War Coalition condemns Donald Trump’s decision to launch attacks against Syrian targets.”

Again. Why has the ICC not issued an arrest warrant. Trump has admitted to committing these war crimes? Could it be that the ICC is owned by the same people who own Trump?
They are all criminals, it don’t matter because the people are asleep.
Perhaps you should watch this CNN video and rethink your stance: http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=13148

That was the point of the video. The Syrian got the better part of the fraud anchor and CNN.
I know the truth, it has set me free. I will never put the chains of Zionist ignorance back on. The dark is repulsive to emissaries of the Light, and can not exist in the presence of the Light.
I say…bring it on… We have been promised a war…we deserve this war…. they owe us this war….. now seeing as america bullied Syria… its only fair that syrias big brother Russia should send some nukes to americas east coast.. that’s should stir things up a bit… then we can have a real fucking world war.. with multiple conficts.. all over the world.. with everybody fighting multiple enemies.. about fucking time too.. They owe us this war…. and its time to pay up… remember…not everybody loses out in a war…
