Stop the War must support the Syrian revolution

"Had the left stood by ordinary Syrians throughout and declared their support for their revolution as they did with Tunisia and Egypt it would not feel like a slap in the face of the revolution when today they stand outside parliament demanding no intervention in Syria. It’s not enough at this late stage in the game to simply call for no intervention. There must be support for the revolutionaries who risked their lives for 30 months to demand freedom.
If socialist and left-wingers don’t support those who are oppressed and crying out for freedom then something is very wrong. The movement has the right to ask their government not to intervene in wars abroad but at the very least they should hold placards that tell Syrians who have lost their homes, families and dignity that “we the people of Britain are with you.” Holding placards that say “No intervention and hands off Syria” appears to Syrians that you are on Russia’s side and Russia is and has been intervening since the beginning (with its war vessels in Tartous since the 5th month of the revolt and most of the weapons that have killed Syrians were a gift to Assad from Putin)."
