Talk:1000 Days of Syria

Rebels: Freedom Fighters or Terrorists?
"Swenson's group collaborated with the rebels, with the rebels providing the group transportation in exchange for food and fuel". Swenson described what he experienced as an “all-purveying, all-consuming, merciless, heart-eating, machine of war."

From this, it seems clear that this "reporter" is more interest in putting out the rebel's point of view than attempting to give a balanced account of events. As such, should Wikipedia allow Swenson a platform to push a blatant anti-government/pro-rebel agenda? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.189 (talk) 09:39, 18 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I believe that calling the Suqour al-Sham Brigades a rebel group is the neutral term according to MOS:TERRORIST. BaduFerreira (talk) 12:45, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

According to a Wikipedia article about the group, "The UN Commission of Inquiry for Syria reported that the group unlawfully detained Hekmat Khalil al-De’ar for alleged dealings with the Syrian Democratic Forces. His dead body returned to his family the next day. The autopsy showed that he had been subjected to torture"

So perhaps the question should be: Rebels, Terrorists or Common Criminals? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.205 (talk) 21:53, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
