 * CEO of Human Rights Watch misattributes video of Gaza destruction. Interventions Watch, May 9
 * Ken Roth Keeps on Digging (same)
 * Awesome follow-up. He calls the comparison "telling," that Assad's destruction might be confused w/something that horrendous? Followed with the real deal - a photo of pretty severe destruction of less substantial buildings, "Aleppo's destruction after Assad's barrel bombs." But the researchers find it's from a Christian neighborhood of Aleppo (Hamidiyeh), "as local popular committee fighters" (aka Shabiha) "try to defend the traditionally Christian district on the third day of intense battles with Islamic State group jihadists." And also taking heavy hits from Assad's barrel bombs? OMG ISASSAD teamwork proved? Is that where he's going to dig to next? --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:00, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

I felt like collecting some more hot tips for Mr. Roth, in case anyone wants to send them in. A good way might be via his wife Dr. Annie Sparrow, especially the Sarmin one.

 * #Assad Shabiha seen shelling Taldou b4 #Houlamassacre. #Whatdoesittake? Srsly let us know. (image: File:Houla shelling perp Upright.png)
 * A victim of the March 16 chlorine attack by Assad forces. Where in UNSC action? (image: see right)
 * When the experts call this one, he could just say oh, well it's telling. Okay, here's some kids who died with the same exact symptoms in that chlorine attack, in Idlib, so haha dummy)
 * Assad loyalists with intel chief seen leaving hotel in Deraa, March 2011, after dozens protesters shot. UN must investigate (image File:Andriy Parubiy Praviy Sector.jpg)
 * Okay, sorry, this one's about Putin actually. Just had to share again. Where is #UNSC action? (File:Putin the Tyrant.jpg)

And that's more than I should have come up with. Any below will be by someone else. --Caustic Logic (talk) 10:13, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Aleppo 30 May 2015
May 30, 2015 - market of Bab, Aleppo: reported 70 killed, all civilian. The reason nearly all victims were men; women don't go out to the market much in a Daesh-controlled area. Could be. Gender-segregated captives is also possible. "The SOHR says at least 60 people were killed in the attack on al-Bab's busy market on Saturday morning after government helicopters dropped two barrel bombs in quick succession." There's no mention of a video, even though it happened in broad daylight at a busy market (often the excuse for lack of video is that attacks happen at night) VCD lists 69 civilians including some wives - and children - but mostly men. --Caustic Logic (talk) 23:43, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
