Despite all odds, the Palestinian cause is gaining

By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine

For many decades, secular and quasi-atheistic regimes in the Arab world used the Palestinian cause to consolidate their tyrannical stranglehold on their countries and people. The net result was a gigantic fiasco for the entire Umma in every conceivable field. The indescribably corrupt regimes tormented and terrorized their own citizens, so much so, that the crème de le crème of their societies were forced to emigrate to the West or other countries, fleeing police state terror and repression.

A few years ago, a citizen of a key Arab capital in the Mashriq (the Asian part of the Arab world) intimated to this writer that his countrymen would even welcome the Israeli army as liberators in light of the reign of tyranny and terror they were facing at the hands of their regime.

“The terror, repression and corruption permeating through the country defies linguistic description,” he told me.

I didn’t publish his remarks then, fearing the Israeli hasbara machine would hasten to exploit the unusual temerity of the remarks for propaganda purposes.

Well, we can’t conceal the truth forever. In the final analysis, these manifestly criminal regimes have decidedly more harm than Israel. Yes, Israel is a racist and criminal enemy, no doubt about this. However, the ignorant and evil regimes which in the name of Arabism and Palestine were effectively repressing, murdering and humiliating their own people were actually a greater and harsher enemy to the people in comparison to Israel.

An enemy is an enemy and one knows what to expect from one’s enemy. However “national” regimes and governments are supposed to serve and protect the people, create prosperity and welfare as well as maintain citizens’ dignity and human rights and civil liberties.

But far from doing their minimal duties in this regard, the regimes smashed human rights, decapitated civil liberties, and terrorized ordinary citizens in ways indescribable. Even the most nefarious enemy imagined wouldn’t have caused that much dilapidation in society.

Therefore, the disintegration of the erstwhile Arab regimes is not and must not be viewed as a negative development for the Palestinian cause. The opposite is true. Yes, maybe the Palestinian cause is losing some media concentration these days as TV viewers are preoccupied with more dramatic events elsewhere. But this is a temporary phenomenon that will disappear soon.

The important thing is that Palestinians should never bid on police-state juntas, even if their rhetoric filled the ether, to liberate Palestine and defeat Israel. These are intrinsically terrorist and bankrupt regimes that nothing good may come from. In the Holy Quran, it is stated that (إن الله لا يصلح عمل المفسدين) meaning “Allah will not make the deeds of evil people prosper.”

Interestingly, some of these evil people are now murdering Palestinians, while having the Chutzpah to claim that they are doing the killing for the sake of Palestine!!!

In the early sixties, Ibrahim Machos, one of the leaders of the Baath party in Syria wrote “that Allah, religion, and morality are mummies in the museum of history.” We saw how his words manifested themselves on the 5th of June, 1967.

Today, we are witnessing the deepening of the Arab Spring. And, yes, the pangs of labor could be heard from many quarters. But that is quite natural as no one in his or her right mind had expected the stagnation and degeneration that hovered over the Arab world since before the downfall of the Ottoman state to disappear in a few months or even a few years.

But the train of freedom has already left the station and is traveling on the right track and will reach the correct destination sooner or later.

We will hear and actually we are hearing all kinds of rumors, disinformation, and lies intended to confuse us and derail the train of freedom. After all, the enemies from inside and outside will not just give up and raise the white flag so prematurely. We will be called names, we will be condemned and vilified. We will even be lumped with the Zionists, the Americans, and what have you, so that our image would be tarnished and besmirched.

But we shouldn’t pay too much attention to these barking dogs and the caravan must keep going.

One of the most crippling handicaps that caused the Palestinian cause an irreparable damage was that the very people who were supposed to lend the Palestinians a helping hand against Israeli criminality needed help themselves to deliver them from the clutches of their terrorist regimes.

Hence, the Palestinian cause was betrayed twice, first, knowingly by the tyrannical regimes, and second unknowingly by the thoroughly tormented and repressed masses for which Palestine became the 100th item on their agenda, thanks to unrelenting repression and persecution meted out to them by the regimes.

Hence we shouldn’t be dithering about the looming demise of some Arab regimes which excelled in making loud but mendacious voices about Palestine, Zionism and imperialism while in truth they were harboring dubious if not criminal agendas against the entire Umma.

In the final analysis, only free people can liberate Palestine from the claws of Zionism. Dictators, who are so repressive of their own people, will not help the Palestinians in any strategic manner. The opposite is true.

Charity, after all, begins at home and if a certain regime behaves criminally towards its own citizens, it shouldn’t be expected to behave charitably towards others.

I have no doubt that the Palestinian cause is on the right historical track. The emancipation of Arabs and Muslims from the forces of dictatorship, tyranny and fascism is the first and indispensable step toward the creation of a genuine Arab Islamist force that would champion the ultimate task of liberating Palestine and defeating Zionism.

This is not going to be an easy task. But at the very least, for the first time in recent history, the Umma is putting its feet on the right track

    KA: “the regimes smashed human rights, decapitated civil liberties, and terrorized ordinary citizens in ways indescribable. Even the most nefarious enemy imagined wouldn’t have caused that much dilapidation in society.”

    That sounds like a good description of how Israel has treated the Palestinians, during the slow genocide that has been taking place for over 6 decades.

    And yet as Mimi Al Laham (aka “Syrian Girl”) and Lizzie Phelan make clear, the opposition in Syria are making overtures towards Israel.

    KA: “In the final analysis, only free people can liberate Palestine from the claws of Zionism. Dictators, who are so repressive of their own people, will not help the Palestinians in any strategic manner. The opposite is true.”

    It seems to me to a complete fallacy that people can be free under any national state whilst those states are run by neo-liberal regimes dominated by the USA.

    The article therefore doesn’t really back up its claim that the Palestinian cause is gaining.

    Perhaps Morsi will now respect the wishes of the majority of ‘FREE’ Egyptian people and withdraw the Egyptian state from its role as assistant jailer of the Gazans. But somehow I doubt it…….

    Roy the people of Egypt are not free they only had half a revolution, they have to get rid of or weaken the military, so either another revolution where they take on the military or they spend years weakening them step by step like Erdogan has had to do in Turkey. The judiciary seem to be fully on board with the military, also like Turkey. Morsi doesn’t have a government, the military disolved it, the judiciary ruled twice to uphold that decision. Tantawi the man who is really in charge said a few days ago that no group will dominate Egyptian politics. So Mubarak has gone but what has changed? What do you realisitcally expect Morsi to do on his own? At least Libya got rid of the whole system because there was no system so they can start from scratch but Egypt is still under the military and who pays for them? Not that they don’t have a massive business empire of their own but 2 billion a year from the USA keeps them in place. I don’t know if you have had much contact with Egyptian generals yourself but I have an a more unpleasant group of people you are unlikely to meet. You also make an error in saying the people will not be free under a western liberal government, it is not the government or the M.B. in Egypt that is pro western and liberal no it is the military.
    oh and by the way I wouldn’t trust anything that a woman called “Mimi the Meat” says aka Syria Girl. There is a massive propaganda war going on and both sides are spreading misinformation.

      LS: “At least Libya got rid of the whole system because there was no system so they can start from scratch”

      according to Derek Ford:

      Nine months after the U.S./NATO-led overthrow of the Muammar Gaddafi government in Libya, the country remains entrenched in violence and disorder; human rights abuses are rampant.

      In fact, according to Nasser al-Hawary of the Libyan Observatory for Human Rights, “The human rights situation in Libya now is far worse than under the late dictator Muammar Gaddafi.” (Inter Press Service, July 14) This statement is telling, especially given that its source is a political opponent of the former government.

      • Laura Stuart

        July 22, 2012 at 2:12 pm

        Not what I hear from Libyan people who are living there. If the situation was as described how come they just had free fair and peaceful elections? Gaddafi was a ruthless nutter who was happy to use torture and kill people, hard to imagine how you or anyone would support someone like that, ditto Assad, Mubarak, Ben Ali, Salah, Al Saud etc

        • Roy Bard

          July 22, 2012 at 2:17 pm

          I can only conclude that either Nasser al-Hawary is a liar, or the group of Libyans you know aren’t representative of all Libyans – that they aren’t against torture per se – just against torture by their political opponents….

          MSF certainly agreed with him that torture was part and parcel of the new Libya.

          The reality unfolding in Libya is yet another illustration of the “freedom” and “democracy” that U.S. and NATO bombs deliver.

    The Libyans have a very tribal culture and they do tend to fight a lot and try to sort disputes themselves probably due to never having had a system to help them. It was a crazy place before so it’s not going to change overnight, I have seen men fighting there on the street every day, it seems to be normal for them and gun shots flying down the streets so that everyone runs inside and the shutters go down on the business. I am not joking parts of Libya are like the wild west and you can’t change that over night, it will take years of putting in place systems that work for the people. Before everything was done by knowing the person closest to Gaddafi. By the way it’s a massive place with hours and hours of empty desert between say Tripoli and Tabrouk, it has a low population so I daresay enforcing law and order will be a mammoth task. I find it so odd that anyone who is remotely concerned about human rights and justice would hark back to the Gaddafi days or support such as the other Arab leaders.

    By the way just to be on a more positive note, Libya has some of the most amazing Roman sites I have ever seen. Last time I travelled through I visited Sabratha and Leptis Magna to name two of the most spectacular. Since Libya hasn’t ever had tourism these sites have been left pretty much alone, they are really fantastic the size of them is amazing. Well worth a visit

    Thank you for the person called Khalid whose generosity made him communicate to us what he has kept secret for years for our sake , We woud have prefered he kept quiet and kept these fake information to himself rather than provide the US and Israel with the pretexts to intervene . Such misinformation should not be allowed to circulate anywhere and definitely not here . The Arabs do not prefer Israel and the author can talk about himself if he wants but should not be allowed to generalize . He is no doubt a special instance and the only Arabs who adopt this speech are the ones that are benefiting somehow from the gulf countries or from Israel

    As for Miss Laura who calls the invasion of Libya on behalf of NATO liberation and the slaughters of Libyans and blacks freedom why doesn’t she call the occupation of Palestine by Israelis liberation as well? This would have solved the problem or she thinks Bernard Henry Levy a Muslim convert working for the Umma? Who knows he might have converted secretely like so many..

    it is not my intention to flatter you , on the contrary i want to call attention on the mischieveous information you are trying to pass , i have been across many people like you who appear as supporting the Palestinian cause but are actually working against it by sowing sectarianism in the heart of the Umma and disseminating misinformation that they get from unreliable sources that seem more like Intelligence propaganda rather than the reality we are experiencing on the ground. I am a Christian i never heard you praise the people who defeated Israel and liberated South Lebanon . This sounds strange on behalf of the Palestinian cause supporter you claim to be . You and the person called Khalid seem to belong to a different breed , you sound more like aliens who experience things differently than other humans.You cannot be with NATO and With Palestine at the same time . NATO and Palestine are two ndifferent things if you know what i mean. One does not get liberated through occupation.

      I am sure it doesn’t go unnoticed that you regularly come here to denigrate myself and my opinions and also to write articles or comments about myself and K.A. the two sunni members of deLiberation.

        “comments about myself and K.A. the two sunni members of deLiberation.”

        with the unspoken understanding that criticism of your (plural) views is somehow a prejudice against sunnis and is based upon you being sunni. in other words, the same tactic one sees ziobots use when non-zionists criticise israeli behaviour and they claim (directly, or by hinting) the criticism stems from anti-semitism towards jews and israel.

    it has no significance to others what one’s religion is , what has significance is what one thinks and speaks and does . What difference does it make if you think you’re this and that, if you’re Sunni or Shi’a or Buddhist or Muslim ? For me you are against the Resistance of Hizbullah who defeated Israel and with whom the next battle with Israel will take place ; and you support the NATO intervention in Libya led by Henry Levy this raises many suspicions.

    Iwas for Nato intervention in Libya, because the alternative would have been a holocaust of the Libyan people by the gangs of Qaddafi.

        I think you need to be fair and show me where I am supporting an “imperialist” agenda whatever that is. I have consistantly denied that I support a NATO intervention and I have no reason to want non Muslims to be involved at all. The fact that the people of Libya had to call on NATO to save their lives is a shame on the Arab league and all Arabs and Muslims. I also want you to note that Hizbollah were keeping very quiet when it was their sunni brothers being killed by various dictators, I want the people of Syria to get rid of Assad. Also I have to ask you how come you find foreign intervention from Iran and Hizbollah who have both sent soldiers to Syria but you condemn Muslims from Libya and Turkey who are fighting there? The latter are fighting to free their brothers and sisters from oppression and hopefully to establish Islam, the former are not.

          July 22, 2012 at 9:47 pm

          Laura – I can assure you that my upbringing was anything but “leftie”

          This Press TV article looks at the ‘Western Imperialist Agenda:

          So, continually there is an effort, whenever some government stands up to the will of the bankers and the corporations, the response of Washington DC and Wall Street is to bomb and destroy.

          They justify this imperialism essentially; and war for profits… they justify that always with talk of democracy; they’re always doing it because they care so much about democracy and freedom.

          Every time they’ve overthrown a government and done this they have never created peace and prosperity; it’s always led to mass suffering for people all over the world.

          Khalid is explicit in saying that he supports this kind of intervention – despite the fact that the Western stance on Israel makes it clear that they don’t give a damn about ordinary people in the Middle East (and austerity over here makes it a clear they don’t give about their own ordinary people.)

          You say that you oppose Western intervention, but at the same time you are singing along with Camoron and Benji on the evils of Assad. Perhaps its just unfortunate timing but that timing (in the middle of a massive Western propaganda offensive) certainly makes you appear to be a shill for them, although a more discrete one than Khalid.

          LS: ” Also I have to ask you how come you find foreign intervention from Iran and Hizbollah who have both sent soldiers to Syria but you condemn Muslims from Libya and Turkey who are fighting there? The latter are fighting to free their brothers and sisters from oppression and hopefully to establish Islam, the former are not.”

            Press tv is anything but neutral in the Syrian conflict. One of my friends Hasan Ghani resigned months ago because he could not stomach the propaganda after years of working for them and another Roshan states publicly that although he works for Press tv he doesn’t support much of what they broadcast on Syria.

            Quoting Press tv on Palestine is fine.

            I directed the comment about outside intervention from Iran and Hizbollah to anyone and everyone who keep wittering on about no Imperialist intervention, because that is exactly what Iran and Hizbollah are doing.

              I thought the article summed up quite well what it was….

              Its hardly surprising that Press TV don’t agree with you, Camoron, Khalid and benjy on the question of Syria – none of you are neutral either.

                There is so much simplistic thinking on the comments here, if I am for the people of Syria gaining freedom and establishing Islam, it doesn’t mean I am pro Israel, a zionist or that I believe in the banking system. For me Islam is the only criteria and Islam has its own banking and finance system.

                US not behind Arab Spring: Nasrallah

                What is happening today are genuine national movements, such as in Tunisia and other Arab countries … and were not part of a US project,” Nasrallah said during a wide-ranging interview with Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television Monday evening

                  July 22, 2012 at 11:32 pm

                  You cite that article approvingly Laura. Do you also agree with this?

                  Referring to the situation in Syria, Nasrallah said, “The Syrian government is being attacked because it does not abide by the rules of the Americans.”

                  Nasrallah emphasized, however, that the Syrian government is largely “out of the danger zone” despite a seven-month-old onslaught against President Bashar al-Assad

                  I have no doubt that the majority of Syrians involved in the uprising genuinely desire freedom. Equally I have no doubt that the situation is being fueled, exploited and manipulated by Western and indeed regional powers.

                  Just like I do not believe that Libya is on the brink of becoming some kind of utopia (even if it does become some kind of tourist resort),I do not think that Syrian’s are anywhere close to freedom – even if the regime changes it most likely means that the victims will come from different sectors of the population.

                  • Laura Stuart

                    July 22, 2012 at 11:48 pm

                    I do not agree with that statement because the Syrian people are rising against Assad for the reason of him being a dictator, just as in all Arab lands.

                    Libya will not be utopia of course. How can it be when they had no system what so ever? Nothing is going to happen over night the people have no system in place and no experience either. I think there will be tribal biff outs for a long time to come.Do we expect them to go from the maddest most disorganised country to a country matching western standards in a day?
                    Regards it becoming a tourist resort, I really hope not, the one good thing about Gaddafi was that he didn’t promote tourism.I met a couple in a hotel in Tabruq who travelled to Libya as tourist and they had been appointed a full time “guide” by the government. But anyhow, there was no alcohol in Libya (apart from in the Gaddafi family homes) I am confident saying that because our Irish contingent from Derry couldn’t find any which means there really really wasn’t any. I would hate to see either Gaza or Libya prostitute themselves to tourism. I really hated seeing Tunisian men in tourist hotel bars drinking alcohol. I wish Libya Egypt Tunisia etc would become part of the Ummah and unite again and that Islam will rise up.

                    Do you agree that there should be no revolution or regime change in Bahrain because it means that victims will come from different sectors of the population ?

                      I don’t see any evidence of America backing that – nor do I know of any armed uprising in Bahrain where the revolutionaries are going around raping, torturing and slaughtering. In fact I haven’t heard of a single Bahraini soldier having his arms and legs amputated, nor of groups of soldiers being mown down in cold blood. Am I reading the wrong news or is America not arming them via Saudi?

    • Paul Eisen

      July 22, 2012 at 6:32 pm

      If I may jump in. Excessive capitalization is quite a trend these days. For example, here on this site it’s very common to capitalise thus: ‘State of Israel’ (Only ‘Israel’ needs a capital) and ‘International Law’ (Neither word needs a capital).

      The ‘international law’ example is particularly interesting because I think it’s done for sort of ideological reasons i.e. there’s something very important about international law. Well, there is I’m sure, but it’s still just a couple of ordinary nouns like ‘table’ or ‘website’ (website is another one that often gets the treatment).

      In the end, I think the capitalizers will win the day. After all, language is only how people speak and write and, if that’s how people do it, then that’s how its gonna (whoops, sorry) be.

      • Paul Eisen

        July 22, 2012 at 6:34 pm

    It is a sign of moral inconsistenty to invite America to occupy Iraq and to even offer Iraqi girls for the convenience of the marines while at the same time you condemn Nato intervention in Libya.

    Today Iraq under the Shiite leadership of Maliki-Sadr-Sistani is virtually an American fiefdon. In Libya, however, there is not a single Nato or American soldier.

    Is Shiite treachy kosher?

      It seems you will not refrain from passing false information , US invaded Iraq from Kuwait and from the multiple US military bases in Gulf coutries the person who knew and approved of all the plan of invasion was Bandar Bin Sultan who knew all the details of the operation before even Colin Powell , whom are you trying to fool ? those who collaborated were from both sects and from all ethnicities :Arabs and Kurds and those who resisted as well , whom are you trying to fool ? Is it yourself ? If i were you i will cancel this post and stop this nonsense and stop fooling yourself because i see no one being fooled by you .

        July 22, 2012 at 11:05 pm

        No, Mr. Mabsout, the biggest and greatest role in backing and consolidating the American occupstion troops in Iraq was played be the Iraqi Shiite leadership.

        The religious sunni leadership issued numerou Fetwas or edicts encouraing Iraqis to resist. But the main Shiite religious leadership issued a famous edict outlawing any resistance to the Americans. So who is trying to fool whom, you or me?

        Yes the treacherous rulers of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf went along with the Americans. What did you expect them to do? After all, these people had been basking in treason and subservience to Kuffars from time immemorial.

        But we can not deal lightly with the collusion, connivance and coordination of the Shiite religious leadership with the American occupation troops. After all, America is Israel’s guardian-ally?

        Sagddam was an evil man, he killed and oppressed many.

        Likewise, Assad is another Saddam. He killed many more people than Saddam ever did?

        So, why do you support his murderous monsterous regime? Is it not because Assad is Shiite, though he is not in reality, while Saddam was Sunni, though he was not in reality?

        Claiming that the Iraqi religious and Political leadership didn’t welcome the American occupation armies into Iraq is the nadir of dishonesty and lack of credibility.

    RB: David Aaronovitch’s and Nick Cohen’s designs concerning Iraq would have had a zero chance of success had it not been to the brazen treason and perfidy of the Shiite leadership in Iraq.

    The Shiite leadership, which was supported by Iran and Hizbullah and Syria, would have cooperated with Satan himself, not just America, in order to topple Sadam.

    Frankly, for the Shiites who so enthusiastically embraced the Amercan occupation of Iraq to lecture us on resistance against America in Syria is very much like a slut giving a lecture on the vices of prostitution.

What do you know about me Mister to say that i was distributing certificates ? How do you know me in any way ? and why are we discussing yourself ? Is it what the conversation is about ? Sectarianism divides the Nation and is anti Islam , for sure you cannot be a Muslim and promote division when the Umma is under attack , therefore whatever you say or claim or pretend about being Palestinian or Arab or Muslim , you have nothing to do with all this , for all practical reasons you serve a Zionist agenda and i don’t care what happened to you in the past , right now you are serving Zionists and this is the ugly truth and i have nothing to add .

        As to sectarianism, it is undoubtedly a bad and divisive thing that we should shun.

        But who is always promoting sectarianism?

        Have you ever seen a Sunni Muslim bad mouth Ali, or Hussein, or Abbas, or Mahdi?

        But you know too well that shiites vilify and bad mouth the symbols of Islam such as Omar and Abu Bakr as often as they breathe???

    The American 5th fleet is stationed off Bahrain the Saudis – Emiraties and Kuwaities occupied Bahrain for a while so that law and order could be established. The Shia of Bahrain know they will lose if they take up arms because Saudi will storm in again.
    So do we support people who want to rid themselves of dictators or not? Or is Bahrain just about getting equal employment rights with sunnis?

    Question : shouldn’t we have two sectarian Shiites besides our these two sectarian Sunnis to represent the whole scope of the matter ?

    Answer : it is not necessary , these two represent all sectarian division in the world , they are like opposite faces of a coin. the point is to respond to the enemy by getting divided ; what you get divided into is of secondary importance . what is important is the loss of unity in confronting the enemy and succumbing to the enemy instead by dividing yourself

    I speak for myself when I say I want to see a return to the Caliphate, I wonder if there could be unity in the Ummah? The Shia won’t even start Ramadan or end Ramadan on the same days at the Sunnis so if unity in the Ummah was achieved would the Shia be part of it?

          Now, why do you people reject Baath in Iraq, but you embrace it cordially in Syria?

          It is the same Baath, same ideology, same evil.

          The anser is clear, because the Iraqi Baath is nominally Sunni, while the Syrian Baath is nominally Shiite.

        LS: “Tell the truth Daniel – Assad’s forces are killing the civilians in Syria not Israel but Assad’s forces.”

        And so, as it happens are the ‘revolutionaries’.

        It is not by accident that the Red Cross has declared the situation a Civil War, and Assad is not the first statesman to use force to resist an armed ressurection.

        “The street war is not right,” said Ali, an engineer living in Midan, who had stayed in his house with the lights off as fighting raged in the street outside. “The Free Syrian Army comes among us – and the army shoots.”

        He charged that forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime “and the militias it sponsors have shot, detained, tortured and sexually abused children throughout… since the uprising began.”

        And likewise “opposition forces also stand charged with including children in their ranks, and failing to properly protect children when engaging in hostilities in civilian areas,” he said.

        As Usrael are sponsoring the opposition militias, then they must be as culpable as Assad is for militias he sponsors, no?

          Including children in their ranks is unlike storming homes in the quiet hours before dawn and slaughtering kids with swords and daggers and raping their mothers and then gleefully shouting Ya Hussein, Ya Ali Ya Mahdi.

            Were you there?

            If not, how do you know who killed 49 children in Houla?

            According to eyewitness accounts,” the FAZ report continues, “the massacre occurred during this time. Those killed were almost exclusively from families belonging to Houla’s Alawi and Shia minorities. Over 90% of Houla’s population are Sunnis. Several dozen members of a family were slaughtered, which had converted from Sunni to Shia Islam. Members of the Shomaliya, an Alawi family, were also killed, as was the family of a Sunni member of the Syrian parliament who is regarded as a collaborator.”

            The report continues: “Immediately following the massacre, the perpetrators are supposed to have filmed their victims and then presented them as Sunni victims in videos posted on the internet.”

            How much distortion of the facts has there been in the effort to demonise Assad? How many people have the opposition tortured and slaughtered? How sure are you that once in power they wouldn’t do exactly the same as Assad and the pro-regime militias if pro-Assad groups mounted an armed insurrection?

            The first casualty of war is the truth. And you still sound like a shill for the Western imperialist forces.

Even America seems worried about what post Assad Syria might look like. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-18706697

Both Hizbullah and the tribunal denied the allegation. – The Daily Star”

                  What is unanimous amongst Syrians here is that the Syrian people have lived for 40 years under a very oppressive dictatorship and they want rid of it. Last year I used to go to the protests every week outside the Syrian embassy, the lebanese shia used to come and try and fight and throw stones at the Syrian demonstrators, the police had to keep them apart.

                  Apparently Syria was told by Chinese intelligence that the opposition is going to make a film of the storming of the Presidential Palace and call it “Resounding fall”. The film which will be filmed in Hollywood is going to cost 36 billion and all costs will be paid for by the Qataris.

          Well,any report is difficult to believe as there is so much propaganda. However Assad using tanks and helicopters in civilian areas which would not indicate care of the people of Syria on his part.

          The Saudis were previously giving arms to the FSA. They only have guns so not much they can do against helicopters and tanks. It has been reported that the Saudis have stepped back now. Other reports state that listening and communication equipment has been given to the FSA. How likely would it be that Israel give Sunni Muslims arms? The FSA have been asking for heavier weapons but no one is willing to hand them over. In fact America seems to be worrying about what post Assad Syria might look like. If the M.B. get into power in Syria then Jordon where they also have a huge membership will be next.
          Shelling civilian areas whilst saying there are terrorists in there puts Assad on a level with Israel exactly.

            A colleague with whom I always made the trip came up with the idea that it would bother us less if instead of trying to avoid it we would… analyze it, pretending we were olfactive analysts.

            To encourage me he would demonstrate over and over: as soon as we started descending the stairs and the wall of stench would hit us he would say stuff like : “Mmm, interesting. Today I detect asparagus, perhaps with a hint of apple vinegar, what do you think, Ariadna?”

    what is happening in Syria is a base intervention on behalf of Israel’s allies to punish the regime who supplied The Resistance with the missiles and rockets with which it defeated Israel and to avenge the Israelis for their loss by overthrowing the regime that helped the Resistance achieve this remarkable victoiry that has no par in the Arab history. a victory that is liable to be repeated and where the Syrian regime is liable to resume its supplies to the victorious Resistance. At this crucial moment where the existence of Israel is itself at stake and where its vulnerability is being totally exposed , the allies of Israel chose another kind of war with different weapons this time since the regular weapons were defeated . This war has for goal first to isolate Hizbullah by launching the sectarian war in which the so called Khalid is a mere tool and by attempting at its spotless reputation and accusing the Resistance of fake crimes for which the Resistance would have to appear in front of International courts and second by trying to disarm Hizbullah and strip it of the arms that helped him achieve his victories , The war against Syria that has nothing to do with any opposition whether local or not falls within the scheme of disarming the Resistance by operating a regime change in Syria which will not coordinate efforts with the Resistance and will stop supplying it with various weapons. That is the only way for Israel and the allies of Israel to win the war against the Resistance after they failed in every respect.

        Last time I looked Russia and China were using their veto, so perhaps this isn’t an accurate statement. South Africa and Pakistan abstained, both seeming to note that there are in fact (at least) two sides in the conflict.

        Of course Khalid will tell that us that the FSA are pure as the driven snow whilst Assad personally eats at least 3 babies every breakfast……

        The truth gets muddled when media outlets are forced to resort to YouTube videos to tell the world what’s happening inside Syria. Though often authentic, such video clips are extremely difficult to verify. Most damningly, though, they lack the nuance afforded by context — something that can only be achieved by reporters on the ground. Yet it is activists’ videos appearing on television stations around the world that have shaped our thinking and opinions on Syria. The conflict becomes black and white when viewed through such a lens: Assad’s regime is wrong and the rebels are right. The truth, of course, is more complicated than that.

    “Roy here is a report by Der Spiegel”

    see the following in response.

    http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/NG24Ak02.html

    “Meanwhile, at least three major German newspapers – Die Welt, the FAZ, and the mass-market tabloid Bild – have published reports attributing responsibility for the massacre to anti-government rebel forces or treating this as the most probable scenario.”

    but those 3 german media didn’t parrot the zionazi line, der spiegel did, so naturally, laura chose the israeli media conduit der spiegel as her example of “independent international media” providing her with that all important denyability claim for her israeli sanctioned propaganda. a standard hasbara trolling tactic to use a source not usually known as an israeli source to reinforce the israeli hasbara.

    journalists in those 3 other german media outlets have debunked the israeli propaganda published by der spiegel and shown it to be fabricated lies. like all israeli hasbara is:

    “Writing in Bild, longtime German war correspondent Jurgen Todenhofer accused the rebels of “deliberately killing civilians and then presenting them as victims of the government”. He described this “massacre-marketing strategy” as being “among the most disgusting things that I have ever experienced in an armed conflict”. Todenhofer had recently been to Damascus, where he interviewed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for Germany’s ARD public television.

    Wring in Die Welt, Alfred Hackensberger noted that Taldo, the sub-district of Houla where the massacre occurred, has been under rebel control since December 2011 and is in an open plain, making it unlikely that “hundreds of soldiers and Assad supporters” could have entered the village to commit the massacre. (An abridged version of Hackenberger’s report also appeared in Die Berliner Morgenpost.) Hackensberger visited Houla to conduct investigations for his report.”

    so much for del spiegel’s dishonest, israeli style, self-serving claim to be the only ones allowed to visit the massacre site and the syrian government trying to stop people visiting and talking with the people there. but there is more:

    “He also interviewed an alleged eyewitness – identified simply by the pseudonym “Jibril” – at the Saint James Monastery in Qara, Syria. In contrast to an earlier report in the FAZ, which had claimed that the victims were largely Shi’ites and Alawis, Jibril told Hackensberger that all of the victims were Sunnis “like everybody here”. By his account, they were killed for refusing to support the rebellion. Jibril added that “a lot of people in Houla know what really happened” but would not say so out of fear for their lives. “Whoever says something,” he explained, “can only repeat the rebels’ version. Anything else is certain death.”

    While traveling in the region of Homs, Hackensberger heard similar stories about the conduct of the rebels. One – now former – resident of the city of Qusayr told him that not only were Christians like himself expelled from the town, but that anyone who refused to enroll their children in the Free Syrian Army had been shot. Hackensberger’s source held foreign Islamists responsible for the atrocities. “I have seen them with my own eyes,” he said, “Pakistanis, Libyans, Tunisians and also Lebanese. They call Osama bin Laden their sheikh.”

    A Sunni resident of Homs told Hackensberger that he had witnessed how an armed group stopped a bus: “The passengers were divided into two groups: on the one side, Sunnis; on the other, Alawis.” According to Hackenberger’s source, the insurgents then proceeded to decapitate the nine Alawi passengers.”

    meanwhile the german government withheld realeasing information showing it knew the massacre was committed by the israeli sponsored terrorists because that government is another israeli quisling regime:

    “That the German government would cite national interest in refusing to disclose its information concerning the circumstances of the Houla massacre is particularly notable in light of Germany’s support for the rebellion and its political arm, the Syrian National Council (SNC).

    While France, the United Kingdom, and the United States have figured as the most visible Western powers supporting the rebellion, Germany has been quietly playing a major role behind the scenes. According to a new report in the FAZ, the German foreign office is working with representatives of the Syrian opposition to develop “concrete plans” for a “political transition” in Syria following the fall of Assad.”

                I think Khalid has a good point. Roy you say that all regimes are corrupt which is true but Khalid added that in reality some commit human rights abuses against their citizens (such as UK and USA) and some commit atrocities such as Assad Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi.

                The position of many on this site is to defend or deny that Assad is killing his people with helicopters and tanks.

                  Laura – how many deaths outside of their borders are the US/UK responsible for? And how many non citizens have they tortured and assassinated? I’d call those atrocities too……

                  I think what some people on this site are railing against is the refusal of you and Khalid to accept that Assad is not the only one committing atrocities – perhaps you can do better than Khalid and name a state that would not respond violently to an armed uprising.

                  By the way do you have a problem with his ad homs, or do you only notice the ones of other posters?

                    Agreed but then the difference is between killing your own civilians or others. So is Assad acceptable or not? Is it ok to fire helicopter guns and tanks into civilian areas? Even the FSA are mostly local civilians who have taken up arms and are fighting against a real army.

                    Regards ad hominen attacks I regard them all as tedious and am victim of a fair few myself which I ignore as it exposes the one making the attack more than the recipient.

                    How Palestinians care to speak to each other is rather disappointing.

                    Regards the Angry Arab, you see Roy I see everything from an Islamic perspective and so the Angry Arab is not interesting to me at all. I do not look for a solution from any group except those who want to use Islam as the criteria. Non religious Arabs be they into Baathism Socialism Nationalism or any ism are irrelevant to me.

                      What kind of difference is that exactly. Innocent people are still dead. Small kids are still blown to smithereens. In fact as the people killed are being killed despite the fact that they pose no threat whatsoever to the US/UK – its a lot less understandable than attacks on those who pose a direct threat to the regime.

                      “Is it ok to fire helicopter guns and tanks into civilian areas?”

                      No – but why did they get sold the helicopters and tanks in the first place? What were they built for? War is indeed a dirty business.

                      “Even the FSA are mostly local civilians who have taken up arms and are fighting against a real army.”

    Syrian forces attack mosque, 30 feared dead By REUTERS LAST UPDATED: 07/24/2012 22:18 AMMAN –

    Syrian forces killed up to 30 worshipers on Tuesday as they converged on a mosque to perform Ramadan evening prayers in a village northwest of the city of Hama, opposition activists said.

    “Troops and shabbiha (militia loyal to President Bashar Assad) left the roadblock on the edge of Shariaa and crossed the main road and began firing automatic rifles at the worshipers as they were entering the mosque,” Jamil al-Hamwi, one of the activists, said by telephone from al-Ghab Plain.

    “We have confirmed the names for 15 bodies and there is a similar number estimated still to be collected from the streets,” Hamwi, who uses a pseudonym for safety reasons, said.

    “So, here is a Shiite leader (Druze are Shiites) who agrees with Khalid and Laura, that Assad’s is a murderous and terrorist regime.”

    In his last Vist to Lebanon, your dear Jeffry Feltman, Promised Jumblat that in July there would be NO ASSAD.

    Most likely a similar promise was given to Hamas.
    However, its an open war now and the Syrian TVs are daily showing the rotten corps of imported “freedom fighters,
    Jumblat said that he lied 25 years, until he showed his true color. BTW, the So-called Shiite Durzi Leader is a Sunni Kurd,

    You did the same lied for years, practiced taqiya, like all spies in your previous writings and vidoes.

    Why do you lie through your teeth? Aren’t the Druze a Shiite sect called “Ismaeliya”? Historically, there are 70 Shiite sects, many of them no longer exist.

    But the Druze are actually a large sect, which exists in northern Palestine, Lebanon and Syria as well as in parts of southern Saudi Arabia and India.

    The Druze Shiites serve in the Israeli army. Claiming that the Druze are not Shiites is an obscene lie. It is really shameful that many Shiites on this site resort rather habitually to lying especially in order to hide an embarrassing fact?

      Where I said Druze are not Shiites? Where I said they are?

      The Druze faith began as a movement in Ismailism, so calling them “Ismaeliya” is not precise and not correct.

      Why you insist to mix between Al-Shiite Al-Jaafariya with other sects.

      Besides I am talking about a man called Jumblat, who claimed that he has Kurd roots, and taking about Jeffery your and his boss, and his promised that there would be No Assad in July, a dream that failed to come and will never come true until next presidential election.

    For the liars who are trying to deceive people on this site:

    Druze (Arabic: درزي, derzī or durzī‎, plural دروز, durūz, Hebrew: דרוזים‎ druzim) are a monotheistic religious community, found primarily in Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, which emerged during the 11th century from Ismailism school of Shia Islam. Druze beliefs incorporate several elements from Abrahamic religions, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism and other philosophies. The Druze call themselves Ahl al-Tawhid “the People of Monotheism” or al-Muwaḥḥidūn “the Unitarians”.

      The sects that legalize lying, under the rubric of Toqya, legalize adultery, under the rubric of Mutaa, and worship saints and tommbs, such as Shiism, originated with Satan, not Islam.

      Islam didn’t tell you to lie, to murder, to worship tombs in Iraq, or give your daughters to multiple men for adultery.

              A leadership ruling by Islam wouldn’t be killing children and civilians with tanks and helicopters.

              I said that one of the primary reasons I want Assad out is because he doesn’t rule by Islam, it is selbstverständlich that an Islamic government doesn’t kill it’s civilians en masse. The urgent need now is for Assad to step down so transition can take place, the longer he stays the more kids will die.

                Yes – I note that the BBC stresses it is ‘unverified’ and also notes that Government forces have largely repelled a rebel assault and A sustained assault by rebels earlier this month on the capital has seen a dramatic upsurge in violence there.

                So, I read that as the BBC reporting it as the regime responding to an assault. Am I wrong?

            When was the last armed insurrection in Sweden?

            And finally did they teach you to be so rude and obnoxious at journalism school, or are your family to blame?

        Doesn’t Islam (or what you presonally call “Islam” which is not the same thing) come first? If you can say “I want Assad out because he doesn’t rule by Islam” when you have nothing to do with Syria it must kill you to live under the heathes. You can also be the poster girl of the zionists who claim that “Islamists” want to extend sharia to the Western world.

            “Are you against majority Muslim countries ruling by Islam?”

            I would consider it inappropriate and uncalled for to have an opinion, much less a fixation, on how any other country should rule itself.

            I am only speaking for myself, not for you, obviously, since I cannot imagine what it must be like to be a fervent neophyte of a newly acquired religion, trying too hard, and handicapped by language and a patchy cultural understanding but emboldened by an undaunted self-assurance that could be endearing if applied to another field. Like something artistic, for instance, that is unlikely to bother anyone.

    It is wrong to regard Laura and Amaryeh as independent thinkers and to engage in a debate with them for they are not indepedent , they are just extensions , they do not have any freedom. Instead ,one should speak and address their masters . they have followed the Zionists because the Zionists have promised them rule over their better brothers who were favored by God and out of envy they wanted to ovecome their brothers by cooperating with the enemy as goes the story of Joseph with his brothers who threw him in the deep well and then sold him to the slave traders because their brother -God’s messenger- was better than them.

      Yes Daniel our zionist masters have told us to go out upon the earth and establish Islam as the criteria.

      You are sooooo believable.

      The enemy are those who allow thousands to be killed like Russia because they know that Assad will be replaced by a more Islamic government. They even said it in an article yesterday warning that America is forgetting what came after Mubarak and Gaddafi meaning Islam.

      • Khalid Amayreh

        July 25, 2012 at 5:02 pm

        Laura, those people would rather see a satanic government in Damascus than an Islamc Sunni government.

        This is the reason they are allying themselves wth the Kafir powers of Russia and China. Their cultic religion is based on hatred and vindictiveness.

        Do you know that according to their mythology, their hidden imam-god, who has been hiding in a cave in Iraq for 1300 years) will unearth the tomb of the Prophet, burn the corpses of Omar and Abu Bakr and then slaughter all 1500 million Sunni people.

        These people have nothing to do with Islam. throughout Islamic history, they sided with the enemies of Islam.

    • Khalid Amayreh

      July 25, 2012 at 5:12 pm

      Unfortunately we are conversing with sub-humans who have no moral conscience.

    • Khalid Amayreh

      “No, Mr Buhtan, not all sects sprang up from Islam.”

      Mr. Kharyan

      I proved that you lied when you claimed that I said Druze are not Shiites.
      You jumped to another subject and lied again.
      I said. “all muslim sects emerged from the school of Islam.”

      Regarding Mutaa, I am not against banning it, but your one cell mind can’t differciate between Haram and banning. To make it simple for you: Driving against traffic direction is forbidden not Haram stupid.

      Do you deny that Muslims practiced Mutaa until Omar banned it:

      Two pleasures were at the time of the Messenger of Allah-peace be upon him-I prevent or punish them.

      “No, Mr Buhtan, not all sects sprang up from Islam.”

      قال عمر وهو على المنبر: متعتان كانتا على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وأنا أنهى عنهما وأُعاقب عليهما: متعة الحج ومتعة النساء.

      Reagarding Toqya,

      Taqiyya and Jihad are among many terms misunderstood by Muslims and non-Muslims alike. The Anti-Muslim and anti-shiites Muslims love to talk about the so called, rule that permits Muslims to lie to spread Islam or spread Shiism. They manipulate their meanings to their convenience.

      Anti-Muslims presume Muslims are guilty, claiming innocence is an aditional evidence of their quilt, anti-shiites sunnis do the same, a shiite is a Liar while telling the truth and while practicing Taqiyya,

      In real life the whole mankind practice it naturally, calling it other names like: “Kittman” `tolerance’, `diplomacy, ‘deception’ and `common sense’. Deception is a daily bussiness praticed by leaders, states, spies, media..

      It is the basis of international relations.

      “In the Biblical account of Abraham, Sarah and Pharaoh we notice Abraham (and Sarah) concealed the fact Sarah was his wife as he feared death:

      When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will let you live.
      Say you are my sister, so that I will be treated well for your sake and my life will be spared because of you.” [Genesis 12:12-13 NIV"

       I am sure you know Ammar Ibn Yasser's  famous case of Taqiyyah and you read, without comprending, thousand of timed the verses 16:106 :

      مَن كَفَرَ بِاللّهِ مِن بَعْدِ إيمَانِهِ إِلاَّ مَنْ أُكْرِهَ وَقَلْبُهُ مُطْمَئِنٌّ بِالإِيمَانِ وَلَكِن مَّن شَرَحَ بِالْكُفْرِ صَدْرًا فَعَلَيْهِمْ غَضَبٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ (106)

      Who so disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom. [Quran 16:106]

    you both are lying , just lie in your own name do not lie and cover yourself with religion and with islam. you say islam islam and you do your individual egoistic thing in the name of islam and God ; speak your nasty words from your mouth and in your own name and interest or shut up and tell laura to shut up . you cannot ascribe your own thoughts and agenda and ascribe them to God . to make contrast with these two renegades , here is this story :

    The story of the Holy Prophet with his Jewish neighbor is too well known . The Holy Prophet never tried to talk his neighbor into religion but he definitely won his heart . The Jewish Neighbor was inimical and used to throw his garbage everyday in front of the Holy Prophet’s door and the Holy Prophet would collect the garbage and throw it out each day until, one day , the Holy Prophet found no garbage in front of his door and became worried about what might have happened to his neighbor , he knocked at his door and made sure he was doing well . This is how the Jewish neighbor got to know Islam and embraced it seeing the mercy in the Prophet of all Muslims .

    merely saying islam islam is not islam . you have the name of the matter but you have no conception of the matter.Islam is a beautifulthing but you have turned it into something else . When one reads your post one hates Islam , that is why you are a Zionist propaganda intent on harming islam , i have no doubt about that because you have nothing to do with true religion.and it is evident : islam is beautiful and you both are ugly

    The Palestinian cause certainly does not stand to “gain” from the violent regime change planned for Syria:

    “What’s Really Happening In Syria?

    By Jack A. Smith

    25 July, 2012

    After several months of talking diplomacy while simultaneously strengthening rebel forces in Syria and demonizing the Damascus government, the Obama Administration has openly decided to go for the kill. Violent regime change will not happen immediately, but it is obviously President Obama’s goal.

    The White House is now “redoubling efforts to rally a coalition of like-minded countries to forcibly bring down the government of President Assad al-Assad,” the New York Times reported July 21. “Administration officials have been in talks with officials in Turkey and Israel over how to manage a Syrian government collapse.”

            Iknow the evilness of the West too well, And I would never give it the benefit of the doubt.

            But you people have been ganging up on me, accusing me of every conceivable vice in the dictionary, just because I reject the tyranny and criminality of the Assad regime.

            Besides, since when respectable and sound-minded people defend nefarious regimes which murder and maim their people in order to stay in power?

            Before preaching to me preach to yourself.
            The moment you start distributing decency certificates to people, it means there is a big imbalance in your viw of yourself. You see the sawdust in my eye, but you don’t see the big plank in your eye.

            You need a lot of soul-searching.

            Besides, standing on the side of justice and humanity, doesn’t make a man indecent.

            I think the opposite is true.

              Where did I preach to you?

              You have been behaving like a spoilt brat, the majority of your comments are puerile insults and slanderous accusations.

              It is unfortunate that you sound like a speech writer for Benyamin Netanyahu when you start ranting about the “Hitler of Damascus”, and that you appear incapable of seeing that there are nuances in every story.

              I don’t care whether you like me or not, I don’t have a lot of respect for your judgement or the way that you conduct yourself.

    Activists: Syrian Sculptor Dies Under Assad Loyalist Torture
    Syrian artist Wael Kaston has been murdered by government security forces, according to activists in Homs.

    Syrian artist Wael Kaston
    Syrian Expatriate Organization
    Syrian artist Wael Issa Kaston has been murdered by government security forces, according to activists in Homs.

    Kaston, a Christian, died under torture, noted the U.S.-based Syrian Expatriate Organization spokesperson Sawsan Jabri, who said the murder refutes the Assad “regime’s repeated claim that they protect the minorities.”

    In a statement sent from West Bloomfield, Michigan, the organization wrote, “The village of Marmarita dressed in black last Sunday in a grief over the martyrdom of their son Wael Kaston, the Syrian sculptor, who was detained in a security branch in Homs and died under torture. His family received his body from a military hospital in Homs. Large crowds of people participated in his funeral from the town and neighboring villages.”

    Born in the Homs suburb of Marmarita in 1966, Kaston was survived by his wife, Eva Allati and two sons, Yara, 12, and Nowar, age 7. “Rest in peace, Wael!” saluted a follower on the “Yalla Souriya” website.

    His work was shown in a number of art galleries in the central Syrian city, in addition to special exhibitions held in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Much of his sculpture focused on themes relating to “freedom of women.”

    The spokesman quoted the artist has having once said in an interview that “he would not prefer to work with ‘stone’ but loves ‘mud’ and wood’.’ The first is the human being because we emerge from mud, and return to the mud, and the ‘wood’ because it is the closest to us, born gently, reaches adolescence vigorously, [and] dies wisely…”

          deLiberation obviously encourages debate of multiple pov.
          There is nothing wrong with having a zionist point of view expressed, whether by pasting hasbara from the zionist media or personal opinion. It is preferable though that the source of the material be given proper attribution and the poster does not masquerade as a Palestinian rights activist. Otherwise deLib becomes confusing to the readers: is it serious or a joke? Is the joke intentional or the unfortunate result of excessive editorial permissiveness?

            But it is wrong to pretend to be embracing Hezbullah while one is effectively carrying out a decidedly Zionist agenda.

            This is called treason and perfidy.

        could your sponsors and handlers be a wrong source?

        You spend hours and hours carrying their instructions. It seems you can easily recognize them. You must be very familiar with them, and you are not a journalist.

        So what could you be then?

          July 25, 2012 at 11:04 pm

          If you mean I don’t work for the corporate media you are correct. However, I have been involved in running an open publishing news site for years.

          I don’t know who my handlers and sources are, so they’re clearly not very effective.

          So what could you be then?

            Stalin and Hitler and all other nefarious tyrants could have made the same arguments.

            It is not enough to think for yourself.

            If thinking for oneself were the ultimately right thing to do, then the world would have become problem-free.

            One has to make sure that his or her thinking is correct and compatible with morality

            It is amply clear that your ambivalent attitude toward evil is problematic to say the least.

    So now what do we do since it has been established that we are all working for Mossad?

    Gilad plays a great Ha Va Nagila on Sax we can all sing along.

    Maariv demolishes the claim in the article title:

    Israel Stands to Gain From Assad’s Ouster

    In the short term, the fall of the Syrian regime will cause considerable security-related headaches for [Israelis]. The border with Syria, which has been quiet for many years, may heat up: terrorist gangs may try to harm soldiers and citizens, similar to the scenario on the southern border. But in the long term, the fall of the regime will be net profit for Israel. Without Assad, the evil axis loses its territorial continuity between Iran and Southern Lebanon. Members of the Iranian revolutionary guards and Hezbollah representatives will not be able to remain in the country (high-ranking members of the Islamic Jihad have already fled back to Tehran). Syria’s automatic support for terror will cease, at least temporarily. Syria had never been a Middle Eastern power like Saudi Arabia or Egypt, but from Israel’s perspective, Syria may turn out to be the most important domino of all in the Arab Spring.

    The West delights at this prospect: ‘Palestinian refugees fighting away from Palestine!’

    “… However, as Human Rights Watch notes, increasing numbers of Palestinians have picked up arms and joined the FSA. Colonel Kassem Saadeddine, spokesperson for the FSA, confirmed that “Palestinians are fighting alongside us, and they are well trained.” And while it’s impossible to know just how many have joined, it’s remarkable to think about the impact the Palestinians could have if even just one percent of the population joined the fighting; that would be a total of 5,000 fighters (imagine that!).…”
