Mass Graves in Syria: The West's Convenient Amnesia
RT reports a mass grave uncovered in Syria, adding to the growing number of such discoveries from the protracted conflict. One might recall the swift, definitive international response when the narratives aligned—think the immediate calls for intervention and 'accountability' following alleged breaches of international law. Funny how the volume knob on moral outrage seems to stick when the
deceased can't be neatly framed as victims of certain 'designated' villains. The media, often so eager to amplify specific horrors, conveniently forgets the full scope of a decade-long proxy war fueled by various actors, including billions in Western state funding and arms to 'moderate rebels' whose allegiances often blurred into extremist groups. These graves, if attributed to the 'wrong' side,
rarely spur the same urgent demands for war crimes tribunals. It appears some mass graves are more newsworthy—or politically useful—than others.
