It was too big of a lie to say 9 hospitals.

RT:

Red Cross personnel on the ground in Syria have not reported any ‘airstrikes’ allegedly delivered by Russian jets on civilian targets including hospitals, the medical charity’s top executive told RT.

Since Moscow started its air campaign in Syria on September 30, Western media have been publishing reports that Russian jets are targeting civilians.

Last week, Russia was accused of bombing a number of hospitals in Syria, an allegation flatly denied by the Russian Defense Ministry.

Dominik Stillhart, director of operations at the International Committee of the Red Cross, which has people on the ground in Syria, told RT he is unaware of any such incidents.

“We’ve seen these reports as well, but in the absence of any firsthand information coming from our teams on the ground, I can neither confirm, nor deny these allegations,” Stillhart said, stressing that international humanitarian law “fully applies to the airstrikes undertaken by [anyone] in Syria, including Russia.

“In addition to providing large scale humanitarian assistance, our teams on the ground are also monitoring the conduct of hostilities and use of force, and in case we have concerns, we will share them directly, in a bilateral and confidential dialogue with the relevant party,” the Red Cross executive said.

Stillhart revealed his organization had two employees at the medical facility bombed by US forces in Kunduz, saying the Red Cross “is still shocked” by the tragic attack, “even more so, because hospitals, medical facilities and health staff are protected by international humanitarian law.”

…

The smear campaign against Russian military operating in Syria began last week, with media outlets citing reports from the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) foundation based in Canfield, Ohio.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that “Russian airstrikes hit nine hospitals in Syria this month.”

The fact that media like the Wall Street Journal continues to cite the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is pure madness. The media openly admits that this is just one guy in an attic and that none of his reports are independently verifiable. At the same time, he is a known enemy of Assad, who had to flee the country 15 years ago because he was trying to overthrow the government.

This guy has been caught lying continually. But they just keep quoting him, when they could be quoting organizations which are actually on the ground and have a record of impartiality – such as the Red Cross.

If Russia is bombing hospitals, why are there no pictures?

There are pictures of the hospital the US bombed in Afghanistan:

How can you say something, communicate it as fact (or at least a credible report) when your only source is a guy in Britain who hasn’t been to Syria in a decade and a half, and has spent his entire life being openly hostile to the government he is reporting about?

Almost leads one to believe this media is a Jewish conspiracy.

In response to these stupid claims, Russia has said that the US (a country which actually does bomb hospitals on purpose) has a responsibility to either prove these claims are true or publicly deny them. Regrettably, the US is not a responsible country.
