Just checked my MSF newsletter. Nothing in it about the perpetrators. Click and article you get this damning judgementWhat? Really?
MSF aside we have photos and statements on this thread of medical staff protesting against deliberate targeting of staff and facilities by the regime. I would question Mr. West's motives before those of doctors on the ground and MSF.
These spooks ain't what they used to be.This attack can only be considered deliberate. It was probably carried out by the Syrian-government-led coalition that is predominantly active in the region.
Chomsky rips Kinzer (the author of that piece) apart in Manufacturing Consent. A bit of an uninformed apologist for various reactionary regimes.The media are misleading the public on Syria - The Boston Globe
Maybe the Boston Globe are "Eurasianist" ?

The Kurdish PYD’s alliance with Russia against Free Aleppo: Evidence and analysis of a disaster
Once the Russian Reich began its all-out Blitzkrieg
“Can you hear that? … It’s the birds singing…” That’s what one of the rescue heroes of the White Helmets said over the radio on the first day of the partial ceasefire in Syria.
Over the past few days there have been dozens of violations of this break in the fighting. We’ve been reporting sniper fire, barrel bombs and Russian air raids.[1] But while the violence has not stopped, it has reduced. And that means innocent civilians that would otherwise have been killed in the extreme carnage of Syria are still alive today. In short, the partial ceasefire has saved lives.
But right now the ceasefire is extremely fragile and it’s not just the violence that endangers it.
A key part of the agreement negotiated by the US and Russia was that aid would be delivered to areas under horrific ‘starvation sieges’ at the start of the ceasefire. This hasn’t been honoured. The Assad regime which is denying access to 99% of those under siege in Syria continues to block aid trucks.[2] Apart from a few small deliveries by the UN to some areas, the vast majority of those going hungry have seen nothing. In one of the worst hit towns, Daraya, many are on the very edge of starvation.
The continued denial of aid to besieged areas is a major breach of the ceasefire and threatens the whole agreement....
Yeah I've seen a few, here is the most recent from an NYT articleGreat to see scenes of demonstrations all over Syria on Facebook. The revolution continues!

Under the slogan “The Revolution Continues,” demonstrators waved the green, white and black pre-Baathist flag adopted during the early, largely peaceful stages of the revolt, before the proliferation of armed Islamist factions with black jihadist banners....
