ISIS has released a significant new execution video from the historic city of Palmyra, in the Syrian desert.

Child executioners are shown in the video being forced to brutally slaughter a group of more than 25 regime soldiers.

The video shows the soldiers lined up on their knees on the stage of the Roman amphitheatre, which had formerly been used for an annual festival in the city.

A baying crowd of men and boys gathered in the restored ruin waiting for the slaughter, many wearing military uniforms and headscarves.

"The Middle East is rapidly becoming a very dark place."

And if the current pace and direction of ISIS continues unabated and unhindered, I fear that the Middle East will no longer be unique in this suffering...

I am reminded that during the early days of the Lebanese Civil war Mronites were tortured and their corpses abused. After the Maronites reciprocated that particular abuse stopped.

During WW2 a group of Luftwaffe sprung a group of allied airmen from a extermination camp where they had been sent by the Gestapo instead of a POW camp. There might have been more than one reason for the Luftwaffe officer freeing the Allied Airmen form the concentration camp, but perhaps chief among them was reciprocity. So they argued and got there way. If the allied airmen had been gassed they were fearful of what might happen to captured German airmen.

The Japanese had no such fear.

Hitler and others might have done it anyway. However, they saw world reaction to the Armenian genocide during WW1 and saw in the intervening 15 to 20 years the world did not care. Hitler specifically mention the Armenian genocide and the lesson he took from it.

"Lost Airmen of Buchenwald is a documentary that chronicles the little-known story of Allied airmen imprisoned at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp in the waning months of World War II." What the Luftwaffe officers did was brave. At this point in the war the Gestapo and others were shooting people.
