MESOP TODAYS OPINION BY SEMIH IDIZ / AL MONITOR
What’s behind Ankara’s ‘deafening silence’ on Aleppo? / THE GROZNY MODEL
5 Oct 2016 – In the past, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan never missed an opportunity to thrash Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, calling him the “brutal dictator who kills his own people.” These days, however, Erdogan has been noticeably low-key in his criticism of the Syrian leader as his regime pounds Aleppo and, according to independent observers, commits war crimes. It is not difficult to fathom the reason behind Ankara’s reticence to take a tough line in keeping with its stance against such attacks in the past: Russia is also involved in the brutal operation against Aleppo.

Russia’s Sharp Escalation in Syria – Robert S. Ford, Senior Fellow
The Syrian army and its allies are in a sustained offensive to recapture the rebel-held east Aleppo as well as the eastern suburbs of Damascus, where their ground forces are advancing slowly but steadily. Unless the balance on the ground drastically shifts, the Assad regime will eventually retake from opposition fighters all of Aleppo and the outlying districts of Damascus. This may take months, but the balance is certainly in the Syrian government’s favor. Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=78850

GROSSES DEUTSCHES FRIEDENSTREFFEN IN ESSEN / DIE “NO-NAToM-KRIEG DEMO
Wahnwichtel, Esoteriker, Antiimperialsten und mittendrin Abgeordnete und Funktionäre. In Essen kamen die alte und die neue Friedensbewegung zu einem Stelldichein zusammen.
5 Okt 2016 – Was macht eigentlich die Friedensbewegung? Natürlich geht sie nicht gegen die Massacker an der Bevölkerung in Syrien durch das Assad-Regime und seine russischen Helfer auf die Straße, stellt sich nicht gegen die Mörderbanden des Islamischen Staates und selbst die Angriffe Erdogans auf die Kurden interessieren sie nur am Rande. Der Feind der Friedensbewegung ist der Westen, ist die Nato und sind die USA – so war es immer, so wird es immer bleiben, denn es geht ihr nicht um Frieden und schon gar nicht um Freiheit sondern um die Ablehnung des Westens und alles wofür er steht.
Das konnte man gestern wieder gut in Essen sehen, wo es auf der Kundgebung zum Thema „Kein Nato Kriegsrat in Essen“ zuging wie bei Rudis-Reste-Rampe: Die Restposten der alten und der neuen Friedensbewegung gaben sich ein Stelldichein. Die Gruppe „Assoziation wider die Verhältnisse“ war da und hat online einen Bericht veröffentlicht, der das Grauen, die Dummheit und Elend wieder gibt, welches sich den wenigen Essenern bot, die gestern dem Stelldichein beiwohnten: Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=78831

Lamya Kaddor: Die brave Frau denkt an sich selbst, bis zuletzt!
Am Donnerstag, 29. September, meldete der Deutschlandfunk in den 9-Uhr-Nachrichten an erster Stelle, „die muslimische Autorin und Religionspädagogin Lamya Kaddor“ habe sich „aus Sicherheitsgründen vom Schuldienst beurlauben“ lassen. „Die 38-Jährige sagte im Deutschlandfunk, seit dem Erscheinen ihres Buches über die Integration von Flüchtlingen vor zwei Wochen habe sie Morddrohungen erhalten und so viele Hassbriefe wie noch nie – vor allem aus dem rechten Spektrum. Renommierte Journalisten wie Henryk M. Broder beteiligten sich daran, Stimmung gegen sie zu machen.“ Volltext http://www.mesop.de/?p=78833
