the blokade on `irsal versus the siege of Jabal Muhsin

For two days--two days--the people of Labwah who received shelling from the outskirts of `Irsal (where the Fee Syrian Army and its Nusrah Front ally are headquartered) imposed a blockade on the road to `Irsal.  That received tremendous coverage (the blockade ended yesterday).  Yet, the pro-Western Salafite Jihadi thugs in Tripoli have been imposing a siege on the predominantly `Alawite Jabal Muhsin for more than two years now. I defy you to find me one article on that in the Western press.
