If Chemical weapons were used it would be front page news all over the world. How many people have phones, camera's and the internet in that part of the world?
When Syria was hit, there was footage and reports of it immediately. This is still rumor and vague sources after a whole day.
Why? Because they speak russian?
The Bellamy salute is the salute described by Francis Bellamy, Baptist minister and author, to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which he had authored. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which had the same form, resulting in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.
The inventor of the saluting gesture was James B. Upham, junior partner and editor of The Youth's Companion.[1] Bellamy recalled Upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "Now up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow."[1]
The Bellamy salute was first demonstrated on October 12, 1892 according to Bellamy's published instructions for the "National School Celebration of Columbus Day":

No, it's because the separatist are using the human shield defense.
As for this...
You understand that saying sieg heil does not make one a facist or a nazi, as it means Hail Victory.
Have you ever heard of the Bellamy salute?

So that salute does not make one a facist or a Nazi, sorry.
That is an absolute lie! The only time chemical weapon use in Syria was "front page news" in the west was when crackpot politicians decided they would put together false and misleading facts to pin the attacks on Assad's regime. There were several other chemical weapons attacks that were so obviously carried out by the insurgency that no western media would touch it.
Oh, and don't forget about the mercenaries that are operating in east Ukraine, including many Academi ex-USA military commandos, and Polish and Lithuanian mercs that are carrying out missions for anti-leftist oligarchs like the billionaire Kolomoisky (who was undemocratically appointed governor of Donetsk region by the junta, by the way). Don't forget that Kolomoisky was offering thousands of dollars worth of bounties on men of Russian ethnicity.
Don't listen to the pro-fascists who blindly believe any crap that they hear. They are already responsible for supporting so much destruction in the Middle East and yet they claim innocence every time the truth officially comes out. Don't ever believe Americans because they have their bloody hands in everything.

Star and Flag for you. I really appreciate your efforts - the western media has been lying about the Ukraine situation simce the start and they will certainly continue the charade. Its awesome that you are working to get info in English to those in the censored west.
I for one think iy is absolutely deplorable what the Ukraine gov't is doing. These are THEIR OWN PEOPLE. According to western media every person killed was both a rebel and a Russian when in reality it is mainly concernes Ukrainians getting killed. These animals are using chemical weapons for christs sake!! This is literally exactly what Assad is doing and yet the west supports it happening in the Ukraine because, "Oh Putin is evil and these Russians must be punished.'
Unfortunately, many at ATS are ignorant of the Ukraine issue and support the wests' side thus this thread will probably fall on deaf ears.
Absolutely disgusting.
Maybe one should tattoo a swastika to their forehead to express their progressive democratic views.
Or if you think carrying out a nazi salute while yelling "sieg heil" is misunderstood, then I can name some countries that I would like you to try it in. Start with Germany.
Nazi salute ISN'T a crime if you’re using it as a personal statement, rules Swiss court after man makes oath to country then shouts 'Heil Hitler'

That's one's personal choice.
Yes it is illegal in Germany, because of what happened with the Nazi party in WWII.
And yet it is legal in Switzerland...

Nobody wants to hear your pro-fascist garbage. Tens of millions of people had to die to put down the last major fascist uprising and you're here wishing for more. Maybe you should haul your ass to Donetsk and volunteer to fight if you're so intent on backing up this disgusting ideology of oppression.
Don't forget that Kolomoisky was offering thousands of dollars worth of bounties on men of Russian ethnicity.
He also announced a program to buy up contraband weapons and offer a $10,000 bounty for any pro-Russia militant captured with a gun.
