The West angrily witnesses the defeat of the last terrorists in Syria (an investment gone wrong) and tears his clothes because the Syrian government defends the population from criminal Islamic gangs.

We publish the letter from the Trappists of a Syrian monastery with which they denounced the dirty game of Western democracies (and that of the Near East) and their penmongers.

When the weapons fall silent? And when will so much biased journalism be silent ?

We who live in Syria, we are really tired, nauseated by this general indignation that is raised to condemn those who defend their lives and their land.

We have gone to Damascus several times in recent months; we went after rebel bombs had caused a massacre in a school, we were there a few days ago too, the day after they fell, launched from Goutha, 90 missiles on the government side of the city. We listened to the children's stories, the fear of leaving home and going to school, the terror of having to see their classmates get blown up again, or jump themselves, children who cannot sleep at night, for fear that a missile will land on their roof. Fear, tears, blood, death. These children are also not worthy of our attention?

Because public opinion didn't bat an eyelid, because no one was outraged, because no humanitarian or other appeals were launched for these innocent people? And why only and only when the Syrian government intervenes, arousing gratitude in Syrian citizens who feel protected from such horror (as we have seen and are told), we are outraged by the ferocity of the war?
