The Syrian Regime is Fighting Terorists by Torturing and Killing 13 year olds?

When a tyrannical regime begins torturing and killing children as young as 13 years old, accusing them of being agents of terrorist organisations, one begins to wonder how sane that regime is.

Hamza al Khateeb was a decent young man who embodied the kindness and hospitality of the Arab youth.  Hamza, put others, even strangers and especially those less fortunate, before himself. a 13 year old who shamed his parents in to giving a homeless person $2, not a fortune by western standards but for Syrians $2 can mean a descent meal.

for a long time we, the Arab people, have been told of the atrocities committed by the Israeli armed forces; the slaughter of children, women and elderly at the hands of the "zionists". Tal al Zaatar. Sabra and Shatila. Qana. the first and second Lebanon War. there is no doubt that the Israelis have killed mercilessly.  The images of Nour, a very young girl left burning in a car that was hit by an Israeli missile while trying to escape the 1996 Israli escalation in Lebanon.

we of the Arab world have witnessed much sorrow and heartache at the hands of the Israeli aggressors. yet. when a regime turns on its own people and begins to press them, force them in to submission at the end of a barrel of a gun or artillery. When a regime sends out its thugs, ignorant buffoons who think much of their lacking manhood, to capture underage peaceful protesters under the guise of battling "terrorist elements when they themselves, the regime, sponsor terrorist organisations, like Hezbollah, to fight their war, by proxy, against the Israelis  then this regime has gone way beyond the point of no return and signed its own death warrant.

Hamza, a good hearted 13 year old was pick off the streets protesting the intolerable opresion of a brutal regime.  Grown men, or supposed men ganged up on this chide, tied him up, beat him to a pulp, electrocuted him, extinguished their cigarette buts on his exposed skin, castrated him, shot him nay times to inflict maximum pain before cold bloodedly murding him, and then returning his mutilated child body to his parents.  what kind of men are these who take out their frustration on an innocent 13 yea old.  what did they think? that he was the leader of the Syrian uprising? that a 13 year old kindhearted village boy held all the secrets of the Syrian uprising?  did they think that torturing, mutilating, killing this innocent boy that they would thwart the uprising?  what was going through their ignorant pea brained minds?  to kill a child?  to torture him for fun? to butcher him as though he was nothing more than live stock?  did they take some perverse pleasure in inflicting this  child's agony?

if they think that this will frighten the people in to submission then they have been badly advised. the Syrians are only going to get angrier, and the angrier they get the worse the demise of the regime will be.  Basahr al Assad and his minions will be tried for crimes against humanity one day... very soon...

there exists a Facebook page for Hamaza.... let us never forget....
