“The Assad regime in Syria, sponsored by the Islamic Republic, ran a ‘machinery of death’ that systematically tortured and murdered more than 100k people,” Torres wrote. “Yet the international community has shown nothing approaching the moral outrage that it reserves for Israel.”
“The international outrage machine runs on an anti-Zionist algorithm: ‘No Jews, No News,’” he wrote.
Torres’ remarks follow the release of an NBC report on the recent uncovering of mass graves in Syria created under the Assad regime.
Stephen Rapp, former U.S. war crimes ambassador at large, who visited two of the mass graves in towns near Damascus, called what he saw “a system of state terror, which became a machinery of death,” likening what he saw to the Holocaust.
“We really haven’t seen anything quite like this since the Nazis,” Rapp said in the NBC report. “From the secret police who disappeared people from their streets and homes to the jailers and interrogators who starved and tortured them to death, to the truck drivers and bulldozer drivers who hid their bodies, thousands of people were working in this system of killing.”
