WARNING: EXTREMELY GRAPHIC: Syrian boy with his jaw blown off

Few videos could highlight the tenuous situation in Syria as one published Sunday afternoon showing a boy with his jaw completely blown off.

The video also contains other children with their limbs removed during Syrian President Bashar Assad’s violent crackdown on dissent.

The condition of the boy is unclear at the time of this post.

This is what Russia and China vetoed. This is what the world is staying silent over.

This is people’s reality. Just because big media isn’t telling you about it, does not mean it didn’t happen. Reblogging because everyone needs to know these atrocities are happening. 

Russia said the resolution was biased and would have meant taking sides in a civil war. Syria is Moscow’s only big ally in the Middle East, home to a Russian naval base and customer for its arms. China’s veto appeared to follow Russia’s lead.

I dare those Russian and Chinese diplomats to tell that to the children in this video.

Power is worth nothing while you stand as an enemy to your people.
