10-year-old children in Syria have known nothing but war: International Rescue Committee ambassador Mandy Patinkin calls for an end to one of the world’s deadliest conflicts.

In many ways, they’re like 10-year-olds right here in America. They are like my two sons at that age. They have hopes and dreams for the future like kids all over the world do. But they’ve also witnessed horrors that the rest of us can only hope we will never experience. Time and again, they’ve seen bombs drop from the sky. They’ve seen their homes destroyed and family members killed before their eyes.

It doesn’t take much imagination to work out what might have inspired her to want to pursue this profession. Ghouta was under siege between 2013 and 2018, and towards the end, thousands of civilians — including children — were injured in a deadly bombing campaign. “I work in a car tire repair shop. My father went missing and so I have to make a living for my family. I can’t go to school and leave them with nothing. I have to help them with buying food. It’s my dream to go back to school.”

In northwest Syria where both he and Sara now live, airstrikes and shelling are still a regular occurrence — even though there’s meant to be a ceasefire. It’s unquestionably dangerous where they are, and they desperately want peace. But even when the bombing stops, their suffering continues. The psychological impact of a decade of fighting cannot be underestimated, and although children are resilient and can often bounce back from adversity, they need dedicated support to be able to do so.

Anyone remember the Princess Bride with Gary Elwes and Mandy Patamkin?A great classic! But, the movie was not the surface movie, it was the underlying true message! But, if you couldn’t glean the underlying message, you probably thought it was silly!

It can't end. The West is attempting to stop a Gazprom pipeline from being constructed.

Thanks Obama. Greatest shitstain in American history.
