Think of it this way, when you see the names of dead Syrian government soldiers on the news they not only include Arab names but also Assyrian and Armenian names. The 'rebels' and their white helmet buddies are all Arab Muslims.
Armenians and Assyrians are Christians. And they fight for the government side because the government is the only side that allows them to live in peace and defends their rights.
Not to mention the fact that Israel supports the white helmets and that is all anyone really needs to know, but the names of the deceased tell the story as well.
There were supposedly 'multiple chemical attacks.' Most of them to me seem totally faked, but there was one that seemed genuine, 'chemical weapon' is such a shitty all encompassing term that is designed to be a headline more than an actual information piece.
There are the kind of weapons that are manufactured in actual heavy duty factories for specific use in devastating a population, this is the kind the white helmets are trying to claim that Assad is using because in order to make something like that you need an actual team of people and proper equipment ergo the implication is that it must be Assad since the rebels are just 'civilians with no heavy duty armaments'
There has been no real evidence pointing to that except random videos of supposed victims and photos of which some have already been proven to be faked. Like the 'innocent dead girl' who miraculously was pictured next to the bloody scene alive and well.
There was one attack (the first I believe) which used a kind of toxic gas which could be created in a highschool chemistry laboratory. That is the one I believe to have occurred because of the location it took place (Christian pro-Assad neighborhood), the simplicity of the weapon, the victims, and the fact that some of the people being interviewed said that they believed it to be the terrorist rebel group that did it. This was one of the first cases, and the only case where you had people trying to blame someone other than Assad. This was the first big one where they started screaming about Assad using chemical weapons but it didn't stick, this is when they started coming up with attacks left and right.
There is no strategic value to the use of chemical weapons, especially considering the Syrian government has practically won the war already. The only people who stand to benefit are the terrorists and powers such as Israel, as it is a green license to invade and (in particular for Israel an opportunity to assert more control over Syrian territory such as the occupied Golan heights).
This is one of the biggest clusterfucks in the last century. There are many powers at play with many agendas all in a relatively small area.

My Co-worker is from Syria and he says they're terrorists. I'm inclined to believe him over the media.

Was there a real chemical attack or was it a fake one, like were there people maimed by a chemical weapon?
