Syria asks why America and the UN are lying hypocrites who pretend to not be war mongers.

In a powerful statement at the UN, the American ambassador has asked the Assad regime and his Russian and Iranian allies: “Are you truly incapable of shame?”

Samantha Power yesterday accused “three member states of the UN [of] contributing to a noose around civilians,” referencing the use of barrel bombs and the killing of children.

“It should shame you. Instead, by all appearances, it is emboldening you,” she added.

Many have praised her words, and the following tweet from Power has received thousands of retweets including from high-profile figures such as author J. K. Rowling:

However, others have criticized Power, accusing the United States of only defending human rights when it is politically convenient:

There is, however, some indication that these angry voices are being heard. Overnight, the US has announced the suspension of some arms sales to Saudi Arabia over civilians casualties in Yemen.

“We’ve decided not to move forward with some foreign military sales cases for air-dropped munitions, PGMs (precision-guided munitions),” a US official said.

“That’s obviously a direct reflection of the concerns that we have about Saudi strikes that have resulted in civilian casualties.”

Nonetheless, many continue to await the issuing of a similar US statement of condemnation towards close American ally Saudi Arabia, as seven million children starve in war-torn Yemen.
