US Gov Has Killed More Civilians This Month Than 12 Years of European Terrorist Attacks!

The USA government have a lot to answer for if figures put forward by an article in the Free Thought Project hold up.

The article says that “In the last 12 years, terrorist attacks in Europe have killed 459 civilians. The U.S. killed at least 472 civilians in Syria, just in the last month.”

Woah! And you know what, that’s just in Syria!

The Free Thought Project wrote;

In the last 30 days, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the provinces with the largest death tolls were Deir Ezzor with 222 civilian deaths, including 84 children, and Raqqa with 250 civilian deaths, including 53 children. The Observatory also noted that the latest figure is more than double the previous month, which was around 225 civilian deaths.

As The Free Thought Project has reported, the U.S.-led coalition entered the city of Raqqa for the first time on June 6, in the name of driving out the Islamic State. However, the first few days of the offensive resulted in reports of the coalition using a cluster of airstrikes including illegal chemicals such as white phosphorus on a city with a population of around 200,000 people.

This isn’t even considering domestic civilian deaths. It’s hard to say how many were “innocent” but remember that police shot dead 963 people in 2016 according to the Washington Post!

Fear of Terrorism, of course, is real but when you look at the numbers it’s probably overstated. The truth is so much scarier!
