The public response to the suicide bombing in Damascus is characterized by profound grief and anger, with a prevalent suspicion towards external entities like Israel and Mossad. The comments reveal ongoing tensions surrounding religious identities and a broader context of conflict within the region.

Israel

Mossad

ISIS/Daesh

In Michigan the gunman was on his way into the church when another person tried to stop him with their truck – when the shooter opened fire at the vehicle and was shot dead by the church’s security guard. Fortunately, no one died except the shooter himself.

Mass shootings in America are news all of a sudden? Not trying to be a dick and feel for those who have lost loved ones but it happens all the time.

There was a suicide bombing in Damascus, Syria. Why is the video showing footage from the US.

Do Americans not realise where Damascus is?

No one was jailed for this. And the children of the Generals that gave the orders are probably cosplaying as refugees in Europe now. While the survivors of the attack live as actual refugees internally and in camps. Despicable.

Remember when the world turned blind eyes on this attack and everything Obama declared as ****Red line**** turned to be green one in the terrorist Bashar Assad’s eyes.

Our "crime“ for which we got this was calling for our rights and even maybe exciting. 

And our “crime“ for which the “frees” of the world deny this happened is that the west acted as if it was against it and as if it stood by us.

-Sharktooth-

to me personally, one of the bad things too is that this was carried out at dawn; 
because i had a traumatic event happen at that time of day in the past and it’s terrible.
you’re half asleep, and when you are sleeping you need to feel safe. now you potentially have sleep issues for life. i don’t see how one could participate in these kinds of actions on innocent people. it’s a shame

balencidustox

Unfortunately no one but the revolutionary Syrians condemns this crime. The world does not want to hear or listen to our complaints about the suffering of our wounded and oppressed people. We have not seen anything for 11 years We will not forget and we will not forgive

I am contra assad. I have lost people to this dictator. However, i came across wikileaks documents that state it was staged, anyone knows about the validity of these documents and i often dont know what to respond when i come across this argument

Big-Attorney5240

Censoring counterarguments is weird and sus. As an outsider, I'm going to assume now they said something valid instead of misinformation.

Turbulent-Garbage-51

It’s true I have family members who were there, before anyone tries to act like it’s fake. It’s just disgusting at this point

Its first started with men with the loudspeakers going around Douileh and other Christian neighborhoods, proclaiming to Christians to convert to Islam. Now its has come to this and I’m sure there will be more attacks in the near future. The government has to put more protections and safety for the Christian population.

Horrible. God bless the families of these victims.

Lions101

Psychops operation, hope syrian people remain united. Alot of incentives to destroy their country, damage their global image of recovery and reconciliation. 

Also likely certain country that has lost credibility in the eyes of the world wants to create religious friction especially having lost support from Americans

ما كانوا قوى الأمن عم يفتلوا بحارات المسيحيين و حاطين الأدعية و الأغاني الإسلامية من كم يوم. و بعدها سيارات ال"دعوة" عم تفتل تحاول تعاملهم مسلمبن. هلأ بلش القتل. لك تفوووووو و هدا أقل شي ممكن قولو

Syrian Christian here.
This is a case of fabricated attacks to label the government as sympathetic to terror, when it is not.
We saw this happen in Egypt after the election of Morsi. It is a way to paint with wide brushes the new government as not capable of leadership cause of the continued attacks on minority groups. Trust the government for now and may god bless the martyrs.

There isn't even an Al Qaeda group in Syria to deny the allegation, so the group in neighbouring Iraq denied it on behalf of Al Qaeda:

Wow, conspiracy theories going mainstream.  

rcglinsk

No one bought it from the start. It was a nice try though?

rindindin

Probably Israel.

They have the mode, means, &amp; method.

Abe_Vigoda

When this happened, all I could hear was Church Lady's voice saying, "Well isn't that Con-Ven-Ient". I don't know anything about Al-Qaeda  in Syria, it was just a knee jerk thought.

DukeOfGeek

EVERY Arab knows that the only marginally tolerated Islamic organization in Syria is the Islamic Brotherhood, but:
1. They would never do such a thing
2. They too are beaten, tortured and discriminated against to the point that most of them are not even in the country. 

Bashar Al-Assad is sick enough to do something like this himself, and it doesn't even HAVE to be a suicide bomber, just a car rigged with a bomb. Then he can let the rumours roll. 

Hishutash

When Gaddafi blamed Al Qaida for launching attacks in Libya, everybody laughed.  Then we found out NATO was mobilizing Al Qaida and Islamist assets.  

Is our memory this short?

doesnthurtatall

&gt;an unlikely story. (globalpost.com)

So 99% true.



DrEalr

There's no such thing as Al Qaeda...why do we keep perpetuating this myth?

A suicide bomber attacked a church in Damascus, resulting in tragic casualties.
