This was not a big story due to the coverage of the war on Gaza (or the war of the tunnels, according to US news). But the photographer who defected from the Syrian regime (and his defection has been considered the most notable since the defection of Ernst Franz Sedgwick Hanfstaengl in 1937) has been under wraps by the Qatari and American governments who control him. We still don't know why the Syrian regime was taking pictures of its victims except to keep historic evidence of its crimes of repression but leave that to another time. "Mustafa", his real name has not been released, was revealed to a select group of press people at the Holocaust Museum, of all places. But why the Holocaust museum? We have been accustomed to Zionist dismissal of anyone who ever invokes the word Holocaust or Nazi in reference to Israel as a clear and unabashed anti-Semite, but Israel and Zionists seem rather casual in their invoking the words Nazi and holocaust to all enemies of Israel. The person who hosted the event was none other than Michael Chertoff , one of the most fanatic Zionists and enemies of civil liberties especially for Arabs and Muslims. The event ended with "Mustafa" promising to release some of his collection of pictures--but only for the website of the...Holocaust Museum. Kid you not.
PS Of course, the Holocaust Museum is not new to political games and tricks. It was in fact founded, according to historians of the Jimmy Carter era, as a cheap and exploitative political move by Carter to improve his standing with the Jewish community while seeking reelection.
