The white helmets. Terrorists in disguise?

[Will Wiley]

Who are the white helmets? Is there any evidence apart from staged photos and videos that they are a neutral humanitarian organisation.

Their role in the execution of a man after the 3 minute mark in the following video is disturbing.

Why are some of them with ISIS supporters in the video?

I don't know if White Helmets are "terrorists", but what I do know for a fact is that there is a HUGE amount of propaganda against them coming from Russia, Syria, and their allies. Even the video in the OP has a fucking Hezbollah flag in the corner, is that really a reliable source to get information about Syria? Or about anything?

Can you judge the video by its content? I know you can, so?

Actually, i can't. If the source is not trustworthy, the information provided could come from anywhere. The footage could be staged, or taken out of context, or simply showing the white hat guys when they are off-duty. Or a number of other things. I'm not saying white hats should be trusted, but I sure as hell don't trust the Syrian propaganda about them.

Did the white hats look like they were off duty when the guy gets executed?

Is State Department video staged?
Do you deny that White Helmets operate in ISIS and Al Qaeda controlled territories? If so do you honestly believe they can be anything but terrorists in another name?
By the way, Russian propaganda does not really talk about these helmets. I mean I heard about it first here.
But I don't follow it (russian propaganda) too much.

It's like having ISIS nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Nobel Peace prize is a joke. Yassir Arafat got it, and Mother Theresa, both vile people that caused people lots of misery. And Obama got it based on nothing more than high hopes. Giving it to white hats would just be another one in long line of blunders.

Then you're missing the main driver behind the coming administration.

It is OPs like these that make me wonder if the Russian disinformation trolls around the world get paid in their domestic currency or in rubles.


Whatever the white hats have been alleged to do pales in comparison to the destruction, death and damage done by the Assad regime and its allies.

They're all committing atrocities where there is no good or bad guy like in the Westerns where the goodies wore the white hats.

I don't have enough to go on to suggest the 'White Hats are are much more than what they are claimed to be other than pro-rebel. However in some cases that could be bad since I doubt any of the sides has an instruction book on how to behave.

If the US had not interfered this war would not have been going on in in the first place, hence no white helmets but bad Assad

The civil war started without US involvement, and the American impact is minimal anyway. The rebels get most of their funding and weapons from Saudi Arabia and other islamists rather than the US.

The Americans have no problem admitting it. Including ISIS there are 3 lots bad guys in this war.

WASHINGTON—The U.S. and its regional allies agreed to increase shipments of weapons and other supplies to help moderate Syrian rebels hold their ground and challenge the intervention of Russia and Iran on behalf of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, U.S. officials and their counterparts in the region said.

WASHINGTON — When President Obama secretly authorized the Central Intelligence Agency to begin arming Syria’s embattled rebels in 2013, the spy agency knew it would have a willing partner to help pay for the covert operation. It was the same partner the C.I.A. has relied on for decades for money and discretion in far-off conflicts: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Since then, the C.I.A. and its Saudi counterpart have maintained an unusual arrangement for the rebel-training mission, which the Americans have code-named Timber Sycamore. Under the deal, current and former administration officials said, the Saudis contribute both weapons and large sums of money, and the C.I.A takes the lead in training the rebels on AK-47 assault rifles and tank-destroying missiles./2016/01/24/world/middleeast/us-relies-heavily-on-saudi-money-to-support-syrian-rebels.html?_r=0

Your quote does not indicate the US admits to starting the war. It started without US help. Your claim - as Jayjay also notes - is factually wrong.
