According to Russia, they're a branch of Al-Nusra. Of course, Trumps buddy is also bombing them.

altNews makes it easier to manipulate the story around them.

Either way, I don't see the point in painting those looking to escape genocide as cowards. Russia, Assad, Hezbola. I like the idea that you're going to stand up to them and their gas attacks and barrel bombs all by yourself. On the other hand, I've got not problem admitting I'd take my kids, pack them up and look for the first plot of land where I didn't have to worry about their state-sanctioned killing.

I really don't think it matters who you ask, if these folks are doing a noble deed or not. Anyone that would suggest they are not is all the more a coward.

I'm sure there are many that cannot help themselves that are glad these guys didn't pack and look for the first plot of land where they didn't have to worry about state-sanctioned killing. Some are more noble than the Every man for themselves mentality.
