Have you ever heard of them? There are not very famous yet but they will be now that they won the Oscar prize. I think they deserve a credit for what they have been doing.
White Helmets are a group of volunteers in Syria who provide assistance to people at the time of air strikes. They have other humanitarian duties as well. They saved the lives of tens of thousands of people.
Their short movie has been released on Netflix and I will be watching it next weekend.

Are you out of your minds or completely ignorant? The main source of “eyewitness accounts” & video & photographic “evidence” of attacks on civilians by the Syrian Army and/or Russian Air Force is a group calling itself the Syria Civil Defence (SCD)—a title co-opted from a real humanitarian organisation founded in 1953 and still operational in the government-held areas of Syria. The fake SCD, whose operatives are called the White Helmets, has its HQ in Istanbul, Turkey & is funded by the UK & US governments, as well as by many Western NGOs. Its founder & director is former British Army intelligence officer plus Foreign Office consultant James Le Mesurier, a “democratisation programs” specialist who was involved in NATO’s regime-change operations in Bosnia, Kosovo & Iraq. The White Helmets operate Exclusively in areas occupied by jihadists (like ISIS, etc), whom they openly embrace as “brothers” on Arabic-language social media. For example, videos freely available on YouTube show White Helmets trading friendly banter with al-Nusra militants and flashing the “victory” sign from on top of a pile of Syrian Army corpses. These same videos prove the White Helmets were armed, when all this time, in the printed media, they have been telling you they are unarmed humanitarian workers. Well, you can all believe the Hollywood Films they show you for "evidence" they're doing a good job, but I'd rather get my news from live footage & journalists on the ground.
