The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

As the Arab world once again rolls out the red carpet for Assad at the Arab League, this report is a crucial reminder of the Syrian regime's cruel nature. Assad may have won Syria's civil war, but he has the blood of more than 300K people on his hands. The fact that Canada and the Netherlands have initiated proceedings against Syria at the International Court of Justice gives hope that the international community will eventually hold Assad accountable for his crimes against humanity.

Establishment-critical narrative

While Assad continues to be targeted by the international community, hardly anyone is talking about the ongoing and illegal occupation of Syrian territory by US troops to plunder the country's resources. Moreover, Washington is not only training anti-government armed forces but is also widely believed to be backing Islamists in its war against Assad. The fact that Syria has been readmitted to the Arab League proves that the region now wants to take its fate into its own hands — despite what the West desires.
