On 8 April 2015 The Associated Press reported: When hundreds of Islamic State militants muscled into the Yarmouk refugee camp last week and planted their black flags amid the charred, blown-out buildings, it was the latest trial for the remaining Palestinians who for two years have endured a suffocating government siege, starvation, and disease. The dire situation in the camp appears certain to deteriorate as the extremist group looks to consolidate its hold and establish a presence near the heart of the Syrian capital. It is a high-stakes fight whose outcome may determine the direction of the civil war around Damascus. The Islamic State group has created a fiefdom in areas straddling the Syria-Iraq border after declaring a self-styled caliphate last year. But prior to the assault on Yarmouk that began April 1, it did not have much of a presence in Damascus. Yarmouk was established in 1957 as a refuge for Palestinians who were forced out of their homes with the 1948 creation of Israel, and expanded with time to include thousands of Syrians as well. Located just minutes from the relative prosperity of Damascus, the camp's name became synonymous with death and starvation -- a place where people brave sniper fire to forage for food, and where children die of malnutrition. Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern world peace systems. Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
