The Syrian revolution just turned three years old, but for the past year things haven't looked good for the rebels. Attacked from behind by the renegade Al Qaeda splinter group the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, or ISIS, and from in front by a resurgent regime, Syria's moderate revolutionaries have been on a losing streak.
But since the New Year, everything's changed, at least in the rebel-held north. ISIS is now fighting every other armed group in the country, and is abandoning its former strongholds all across northern Syria. A VICE News crew, the first western journalists in northwest Syria for months, has embedded with Syrian rebels fighting ISIS, and is following their rapid advance across Idlib province, until yesterday an ISIS stronghold. This is the only footage to come from the Syrian war's most recent and least understood turning point.

"Already in the first early Christian centuries, a general prohibition of interest was formulated as a principle of the Christian faith in several synods, that is, in the context of several meetings of church leaders. In the Middle Ages, this principle of Pope Innocent III. legally institutionalized in 1215 in the form of a general interest ban. *In the context of this "canonical prohibition of interest", the taking of interest henceforth was not only a sin, but also a capital crime, which was equated with robbery, arson or prostitution.* The period of interest prohibition in the Catholic part of Europe extended over several centuries and only with the Reformation and the independence of many princes of the rules of the Catholic Church was at least partially dissolved. The Catholic Church itself upheld the doctrine of interest prohibition until the beginning of the 20th century."

"And we as the mujahideen of al-Sham, will not accept any attack against our Christian brothers. ... Yes, this is the land of al-Sham, it is the land of Islam but there is a place amongst us for Christians, they are our brothers here. God commanded us to look after them, and Muhammad commanded us the same, to give them safety, give them their rights, but this is our land, we will establish the Islam state..."
- That Muslim dude
Respect
These people are amazing. They are fighting a war on two fronts; against extremists and the regime.
نعم نحن شعب نحب الحياة ولا نحب الدماء لكن لانقبل بالاعتداء علينا حينها نصبح وحوش على اعدائنا .... الحمدلله دائما وابدا ✌
Perhaps people posting uninformed mindless comments here should try to visit the middle east before they form their opinions and see that in most countries there are Muslims, Jews and Christians living peacefully together. Don't base your views on the news only, all you get to see is the parts where they are fighting.
I'm Lebanese and I've lived in Lebanon for half my life and I can quite confidently tell you the most ravaging and dangerous religion in the Middle East is Islam.
Christians and Jews are prosecuted in every nation they are in.
Said Harbieh
Yep, it's our own fault, though. Muslim countries used to be pretty tolerant of "infidels" until we fucked them up.
No, the Maronite people have been in Lebanon since Roman times, and we were prosecuted up UNTIL the French and Youssef Bek Karam. Thank Fuck for the West.
Islam always was radical, the achievements of Middle-Ages Arab World are really over exaggerated. They literally conserved Greek/Iranian/Semitic knowledge.
Said Harbieh
Uh, no, there's a lot more to it than just conserving knowledge. Educate yourself.
Islamic countries *did* oppress others to a degree (like Jizya), but that's nothing compared to what was going on in western countries at the time, so you can attribute it more to the times than Islam. All the west has accomplished in the middle east is toppling relatively stable and pretty secular (more secular than the US, at any rate) states. The hatred for the west that exists there is more than well founded.
Said Harbieh Nope. Dont base your opinions on Lebanon please. You are being very stupid
This is such a fucking mess. The current government is bad, but I wouldn't trust these guys in power either.
The craziest tourist guide I've ever seen.
The gentleman in in hoodie just seems like the happiest person on earth.
the leader of those people looks like a college student high on bath salts
yea lol
most likely they are high as fuck, middle east is like drug heaven, ever hear of golden crescent, look it up
they are all going to get blown up by the usa :D

Big respect to the Vice Reporters covering wars and crisis around the world.
Almost forgot what real journalism looked like.
It's strange seeing a rocket launcher across the dash of the car right below a suction cupped GoPro.
Bashar is a Tyrant who lost half of his country despite begging to his masters in Russia for help. I respect every Syrian who revolted against this Tyrant الله أكبر الله أكبر
"syria: the long war"
*8 years ago
i think im gonna cry
لم ولن تنتهي 🤦💔
Unfortunately
Excellent coverage. I appreciate your news and I watch many of your videos when I have the time because you can't get this information anywhere else. Keep up the good work!
when is the next dispatch coming, i've been waiting ages!
Great camera work, loving the fade-in's n fade-outs ;)
i love vice news, its always on the ground and even tho its always embedded it lets the viewer decide what to take from the interviews of the combatants. its so refreshing !!!!! get in there VICE news
I can't help but liken anyone who wants to establish an Islamic state in whatever country they're in to people claiming the US is a Christian nation.
Finally someone with a little perspective.
curtiscurt Not that religion is a bad thing. If you're a twisted little fuck, you'll try and bend any belief system to serve you. Look at the Soviet Union.
Great fucking coverage, Vice. This is what truly journalism is. You guys are in the Ukrainian, Venezuela, Syria, Turkey and pretty much everyone with a major conflict being blinded out by corporate media. I wish you guys nothing but the best and I indefinitely look forward to more uploads. Cheers
Maybe if these guys spent some more time fighting and less time standing around yelling "God is great" as if they'd won a battle when all that happened was the enemy retreated, maybe they'd be a bit further along in the war.
There clearly all cracked out on poor mans crack what a fucking circus I mean surely the US doesnt truely believe that this pack of rejects were ever going to win a war with a fully capable army.
Ramsey Issa yeah that's why we stayed out of this mess. Hamduallah.
@@TheSonwu39 you're a khayen to the ummah
@@ramseyissa3478 Up until Russia and Iran entering... the opposition was taking over Northern Syria and Hama and Homs. This was without the Kurdish support of the FSA.
i dont care how bad their government is if they try to make islamic state then ill support any government in power to stop them from taking over
how is them having an islamic state bothering you? fool
786Tufael what if i am not muslim if im not muslim they will kill me and force mt to become something im not. i care about the people in syria who are not muslims and re being killed for not being muslim it does not have to bother me my self but i care about other people
786Tufael I'm not the person you asked that question to but I can tell you that basing a government solely on a religious ideology is extremely wrong and stupid at that.
786Tufael Because it's unjust. Apostates would be killed, as would homosexuals, and critics of Islam. Non-Muslims would be second class citizens. They'd have to pay a special tax called jizya, they would not be allowed to work in many jobs, or proselytize their religion.
the group in the video arent your ISIS mad men, if u watched the whole vid, you might understand a bit better. its sounds like a lot of people saw beards and heard the chants and assumed the worst
I think they need to say allahu Akbar a few more times lol.
Reminds me of a bunch of dogs, one starts barking and howling and the whole lot of them goes crazy for no reason.
Warcry
Dont play with god its not a game
Bro talk about crusades ..
Lol ..
Amazing stuff... at 14:55 "there is a place amongst us for Christians, they are our brothers here."
never expected him to say that
thats what we have been taught by our religion but the main media does not show that to the world.
Thanks Vice for going in the ground and showing us what's really happening.
the true mujahedeen , i wish i was there among them ,i love you FSA ,may GOD give you victory
i really feel strong emotion watching this video.
it's like a invitation to support those fighter in syria.
every time they shout takbir, i do the same.
does anyone know what camera is used to make this video? DSLR? and if so how did they achieve the look in this video?
great work vice
I found the part where the guy talks about protecting his christian brothers very touching, I didnt realise that there are rebels like this.
Lol this shit will never end.
Austin Bell it's 2018 now and only idilib province is controlled by rebels Isis have lost territory and the resume have recaptured much of syria
You aint wrong
Good, front-line coverage but it really helps if you know the language. You can see in the quality of the Crimea "Dispatches" from Simon why it really helps with the report.
the real issue is not the ideology, its where the gun flow comes from. the real terrorists are the arms dealers and countries that secretly support half these terrorist groups and fund them with support,weapons and everything in between. if everyone in america was given an ak47 and a rpg how long until cities start to fall apart. that is the real problem in these countries. and for some reason countries still send them weapons including america,russia all isee is a huge trend. a crisis happens, a superpower like america or russia or whoever "supports them" then when the country falls apart they want to step in and help or in other worlds we'll install a puppet government.
It's not necessarily secretly but the weapons have been supplied to both sides indirectly. The US gave the Taliban weapons back in the 1980's to help stop Soviet rule in Afghanistan. Russia supplies weapons like the AK-47 or Kalashnikov to the Syrian government and as a result, whenever government forces are killed, a rebel steals their gun. The majority of rebel weapons in this war will be old but that does not mean that they are not effective.
Well all the Soviet satellite nations pretty much became 3rd/2nd world nations after the the collapse of the USSR so they sold their Russian military tech to any buyer. That would be why every Islamic country still has the Russian tech on both sides. All that cold war prep turned into the means for these countries to fight their civil wars.
Rob Young People need to stop saying that. The Taliban did NOT exist in the Afghan Soviet war. The Taliban came into existence after the war...
These syria documentaries from vice are the best
I love the piece signs at the end
May God protect those true warriors....
Vice: You need to put dates in the videos of when the footage was filmed. Thanks. its Hard to know if this was taken last week or last month.
i like Aris calm demeanor in all this. got the right man for the job Vice. good luck to the rebel forces in Syria. stay strong, don't give up, and keep on fighting.
Im glad to see winter has let up there. Hopefully peace is granted to all Syrian people soon.
The moment the Jihadis are driven from Syria they will have peace.
Lucifer Obscurum u think so? U think the FSA can beat assad? I hope so... I cant imagine being in their shoes. I'd love to be able to just walk into this scene with like a dozen pizzas, wish them all good luck, and disappear! Sounds absurd I know. I'm not Muslim or anything ya know, I just feel bad. They have to sacrifice so much, and suffer so bad, and its all for a hope n dream
I don't think they'll beat him. They'll try. For years they'll keep trying and the Syrian people will suffer as a result but at the end of this prolonged war Assad will (hopefully) emerge as Syria's surviving secular democratic leader.
Not that I want the rebels to suffer either but it'll be better when they're gone.
Aris makes the best documentaries. Defiantly my favorite vice reporter.
where s the next part?
When is Dispatch two out ? VICE News
Can't wait!
I've recently been there myself and going again this summer.
I'd love to do the same reporting as you guys.
VICE News has the best reports.
Thank you for everything !
What about Dispatch two?
what a amazing message that rebel had near the end.
PUT SOME COLOUR ON THIS FOOTAGE FOR GOD SAKE! The purpouse of CineStyle is that you're able to have a better color grading on post-production, CineStylo is NOT a "finished product" "style"... Other than that, great video! :)
I need dispatch 2
-Gather random group of people...
-Start talking in front of them in calm voice...
-Slowly raise voice with each sentence...
-Once screaming chant Snackbars...
-Rinse, repeat...
Whats the name of the song at the car at 1:31?
I'm sorry if I'm late,I hope you're still alive,the name of the song/nasheed is "kuntu maitan"
Watching this I couldn't help but think how hilarious it would be if the interviewer had no idea what they were saying at any point during the interview, and instead was just nodding while they were excitedly spouting gibberish at him.
Without watching this again I can't remember a single question he actually asked this dude during breaks in his victory speech.
However, as always I appreciate seeing another perspective.
For some odd reason, i keep hearing "For Nod!" "Nod! NOD! NOD!" in the back of my head whenever i hear these guys shouting.
Peace through power!
Peace through POWER!
PEACE THOUGH POWER!
How does Vice get this amazing coverage, and why doesnt the mainstream media follow suit and bring us the real news from the ground?
for your second question, the answer is at the beginning of the vid': over 40 foreign journalists are currentyl held as hostages by the ISIS.
Oh right
and these are the moderate guys...
No, just GEICO cave with weapons made smart people
The RUclips subtitles are abit... odd.
is there a dispatch 2? I can't find it. Please someone link it.
Look up Syria's unending rebel conflict.
How the heck do they let a random person film them??
Why did they take down disbatch two
very friendly and cheerful revolutionaries
Tyrant was a good show. Especially season 2 it's a must-watch
Moderates...sure..
what is a moderate? that random asian guy in your corner shop, is that what a moderate muslim is?
we are all saying something from behind a screen, and I assume most of us haven't done much to give any weight to our comments.
Does he understand at all or is there a translator with him?
that dude smile is awesome :D
Ok new drinking game; every time someone says "allahu akbar" you take a shot
This is almost like a full loot pvp game, one group got wiped out and pushed back and now other groups on the same side of an alliance are racing to be the first to loot the spoils. In some ways it is amazing how close their reality is to gaming, those that have ever played a hard core videogame where you get the items of those you kill will understand what Im saying.
Assad, thank you for independent Syria !!!
"To be Continued" yet there was never a Dispatch 2
Oh man they're using same phone as I
The freedom fighters want to introduce Sharia law, it gives me the shivers. There's no good side to this conflict.
Well, the Kurds are moderate,secular and democratic, but sadly they are ignored. We should support those democratic/secular forces in Syria like the Kurds and Syrian moderates instead of these Islamic psychos...
I would cheer for the Kurdish people!
Pickleman
Maybe, but I'm not sure what "Islamic state" would otherwise mean. If they are serious about respecting other faiths, or lack thereof, they would fight for a secular state.
*****
I'm not bothered by the economic aspects of sharia law, just the social ones. And I have a fundamental problem with any society basing its laws on the theology of some, rather than collective reason.
And to be clear: I'm not biased to Islam in particular, I am biased to all organized religion and all interference between religion and politics.
*****
If that regime is going to suppress me because I happen to be gay, female or atheist, I would care.
***** Are you aware that Iran and Hezbollah support the regime?
Is that the same older guy from warlords of tripoli in Lebanon?
Glad I don't live around there, what a bunch of no brainers.
It would be cool if there was another Vice reporter showing the government side of things.
Muhhamad must be so proud with all those firearms.
Is it just me who noticed the Child soldier in the start?
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
I love VICE!
Come on Syria
Waiting on Dispatch 2. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED what they say at 14:00 mark. Amazing unity between them and the Christians as it was intended to be.
Stay frosty boys.
~}[]{
True but it seems that not everyone feels the same way among the rebels. I just hope things turn out well for Syria.
Boy he really loves the camera, doesn't he :)
I guess he's the groups PR guy :P
Charismatic guy!
The guy has a lot of charisma a very happy guy to bad he's fighting for the wrong cause both are really.
Good Islamists versus bad Islamists? Versus bad secularists? God help these people!
define god.
"Former christian vilage", I wonder what had happened to those christians..
They got killed by isis
over 100 martyrs in 70 days - achievment unlocked LOL
Me: *sleeping*
Quiet kid: *ALLLLYAAAH AHKABBBBRTR*
All I kept thinking when they were chanting praise God in their language, was them actually saying Hello Admiral Akbar... Oh Star Wars.
Can't help but notice the reporter give those almost about to laugh looks at the camera
Can someone confirm to me if some of the people in the countries around there immigrate to the Americas? because ive seen some mexicans that look exactly like the people in the video ive asked some they say they are mexican of syrian ethnicity and some mixed with spanish but what i want to know if a lot of people in the middle east countries immigrated to countries in America?
how would they confirm this idoit ur on youtube u think thats possible?
mike ahmed You should really calm down no need for insults! i already looked into it and it is true.... or does it offend you?
Not all muslims are like this.
I'm a muslim and i love all and would only kill in self defense.
don't let these films or any propaganda influence you to hate us :P
no propaganda needed.
What's your point these guys are doing self defense. Assad is the one who started killing Syrian people
if you want to kiss some shoes don't generalize on Muslim and be a spoke man because we the majority the Sunni's support Syrians in their struggle against this alwaitte dictator
idk what you are, you must be a secular Muslim and/or a dumb ass with terrible reasoning. These guys only attacked ISIS because ISIS attacked them and took their land, also the ISIS were killing innocent people, and as a Muslim we have to stand up for anyone facing injustice Muslim or not. The FSA also fought against the government in DEFENSE for the government shooting and massacring innocent and peaceful protesters. FSA was not established until the governemnt would open fire on protesters.
In self defense of VICE, probably the only unbiased and credible current source of valuable information, it's not the films don't influence me to hate you guys, but the people who are IN the films. Other than that, this isn't propaganda and I don't hate you guys
14:28 LOL at the guy with AK-47
crazy times
Isnt religion just lovely
10:53 steyr aug
If these guys are less fanatical about their religion than ISIS than damn, ISIS must be insane. Bashad is loving every second of this though, rebels vs rebels
The commander looks like adam sandler with a beard 5:00
What a mess..
5:43 IS THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON THE LEFT SIDE???
Uh, no. thats me waiting to get bombed
From what I understand is that these rebels want to coexist with other religions and to be at peace with them. Now THESE are the people we should really be supporting in my opinion.
Miss THIS vice, new stuff is so politically based and hardly an international new source, keep going to war zones. This is your quality journalism
So all it takes is 1 person to tell "Allah Akbar!" And the whole squad stop in their tracks and chant along...hmmm...interesting 🤔
Syria will be such a nice place if these guys win...
Good thing the extremists are being pushed back, hopefully the regime will go next.
@10:22 did anyone else see that woman take off with her son hella fast after the camera pointed her way.
