does mathis approve of fisk. did he give you permission to post that?

did mideast &quot;expert&quot; fisk ever learn arabic?

fisk has been been pro-israeli about syria since the beginning of the zionazi criminal assault on those people. his credibility is down there with the rest of the jewish corporate media propagandists. his previous attempts to pin the mossad murder of harari on syria:

have pretty much killed his undeserved reputation as an objective reporter. you&#039;re flogging spoiled meat, jay. he is now considered a israeli tool.

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s an article by Robert Fisk of the &lt;i&gt;Independent&lt;/i&gt; about Syria, which accuses all sides of atrocities. He&#039;s usually a more objective reporter on the Middle East than most journalists: http://tinyurl.com/8vxkc9p

Sometimes, I can&#039;t tell whether he&#039;s being sarcastic: &lt;i&gt;&quot;The Allies of the Second World War did their share of extrajudicial executions – though on nothing like the scale of their enemies&quot;&lt;/i&gt;. 

&lt;i&gt;&quot;German historians who set out to prove the criminality of the Wehrmacht still face abuse&quot;&lt;/i&gt;. Really?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Today Farouk al-Sharaa received the Iranian Chairman of the Majlis Committee on National Security and Foreign Policy Alaeddin Boroujerdi, refuting by this move claims of his defections.&quot;

since when does the truth figure in jewish zionist propaganda. :D

years ago i heard an interview with a guy who used to write for one of the tabloids, like star, that one finds at grocery store check-outs, which american housewives keep in business. the guy said they had a stock of photos and when he did an article, he would first rummage through these stock photos to find one that gave him an idea for a story, then make up whatever filler needed to pad the fantasy out. he was jewish and gay, naturally, so the thought of having some integrity didn&#039;t enter into the picture. it paid well and he didn&#039;t have to work for a living. this is what jewish ownership and management has reduced all the western news media to, including many of the alternatives.

to shamelessly rip-off the stones, what jewish fascist dominance has done to the media would make a dead goebbels come.]]></description>

&lt;span&gt;I fully agree with brother mabsout &lt;em&gt;&quot;The Syrian army is a national army and not a Alawite army that favors Alawites , if it were not a national army it could not have resisted and would have fallen apart. The army constitutes the strength of the regime that is secular and non religious , if one is to speak religion , key positions in the army are held by Sunnis who form a large portion of the national army&quot;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;

I would add that the majority of the Syrian army are people (70% are Sunnis)&lt;span dir=&quot;RTL&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;RTL&quot;&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;RTL&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;doing their military service. &lt;/span&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;So far the friends of Syria failed to turn the so -called &quot;uprising&quot; into a sectarian conflict, the high-level Sunni defections in Syria(Tlas, Riad Hijab and few ambassadors)though came very late, remained few and far between, and required expensive and complicated operations to execute them, it exposed Sectarian Agenda, towards “Lebanonization” of the Syrian conflict, through giving a false indication that the defectors are trying to save themselves before the collapse of the regime, a false indication that it has become impossible for Sunni politicians to defend their position within the regime as happened during the Lebanese Civil War. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;

If so why convincing them to defect required so much effort? Why non-Sunni have different calculations? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;

Finally, there is no clear role for any of the defectors to play within the opposition or in directing the so-called uprising. On the heels of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;his meeting with Tlass in Paris, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.france24.com/en/20120822-tlass-hijab-no-place-future-government-syrian-opposition-abdulbaset-sieda-assad-fsa%20&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Abdulbaset Sieda,&lt;/a&gt; the head of Istanbul council said that General Manaf Tlass and former Syrian Prime Minister Riad Hijab would not be part of a future transition government.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[“The Syrian Army-where Alawites enjoy a privileged position-favors the Alawite population, thus the ethnic struggle is a tie despite the unequal forces involved”, Roy Tov. 
The Syrian army is a national army and not a Alawite army that favors Alawites , if it were not a national army it could not have resisted and would have fallen apart. The army constitutes the strength of the regime that is secular and non religious , if one is to speak religion , key positions in the army are held by Sunnis who form a large portion of the national army . All attempts at dividing the army failed . One also should not speak about ethnic or religious struggle in Syria , because this lacks precision , it is not that the rebels are Sunnis facing a minority of Alawites . Syria is under foreign attack that has taken the form of a sectarian or religious conflict , there is a conspiracy and assault the same way Libya was assaulted . The rebels are hired killers , they are not only Syrians , 10 thousand mercenaries have been introduced to Syria by boats who were carrying the UN flags , the first ones came from Libya , now they are coming from various Muslim countries and introduced through Lebanon and Turkey ; they have been trained and equipped by foreign intelligence into partaking in internal wars and committing atrocities , foreign coordinators are on the ground from Great Britain , France and Turkey to guide the mercenaries and coordinate their efforts . Qatar and KSA are financing and arming , the reason why fights spread to Lebanon is probably the 4 billions given to ex PM Hariri by the Saudi king as a present on the feast , probably as a down payment to create a buffer zone on the northern Lebanese/Syrian border . The next day the situation in Tripoli escalated seriously .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[a very funny article indeed, bordering on sheer second hand rubbish.

&quot;The Sunni are 74% of the population and are attempting to use the ongoing mayhem in order to gain power.&quot;

out of these 74% BY FAR NOT ALL syrian sunnis &quot;are attempting to use the ongoing mayhem in order to gain power.&quot; i, for instance, have sunni friends in Syria who are solidly on the government&#039;s side.
 btw the majority of people in the syrian government and governmental structures are sunnis. 
so the overall majority of the syrian  people, across the religious divide, do support the government, one can see it from the recent referendum on the new syrian constitution and even from a public opinion poll in Syria ordered by none other than the emir of Qatar!

&quot;... gunshots were exchanged yesterday between the Sunni district of Bab al-Tabbana and the Alawites Jabal Muhsin, .... 
Without the events in Syria acting as a trigger, yesterday’s violence couldn’t have been possible.&quot;

this violence in Tarablus between the salafi and moustaqbal sunnis(normal sunnis like e.g. Omar Karame have nothing to do with this violence) and the alawis not only COULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE but actually DID happen more than once in the past, like 3 or 4 years ago, when everything in Syria was completely quiet and placid.


&quot;Moreover, last week, Lebanese Shia kidnapped dozens of Sunni Muslims in reprisal for the seizure of a Lebanese Shia man by Syrian rebels in Syria&quot;

what a bunch of crap! firstly, it&#039;s not &quot;Lebanese Shia&quot; who kidnapped but a large lebanese clan which counts among its members not only shia but sunni and christian lebanese as well. 
and secondly, they did not kidnap just any &quot;Sunni Muslims in reprisal for the seizure of a Lebanese Shia&quot; but syrian rebel operatives in Lebanon plus 2 turkish citiziens whose country they consider responsible for the kidnapping of one of their clan by syrian rebels. 
and btw just look at the different verbs Roy Tov uses for the same action: according to him &quot;Lebanese Shia KIDNAP Sunni Muslims&quot; but &quot;Syrian rebels in Syria SEIZE a Lebanese Shia man&quot;.
of course KIDNAPPING is always bad, illegal, whereas SEIZURE sounds perfectly legal! well done, Roy Tov! 

and to conclude - why showing next to the article&#039;s title the demographics of Lebanon( &quot;Snia Muslim 26.2%&quot;) dating back probably to the days of the french mandate? to create confusion among the readers?    

 the shia in nowadays Lebanon are by far the LARGEST single group by all estimates and constitute definitely more than 40% of the population

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Christianity_in_Lebanon

btw this same demographics map of Lebanon shows in the article but for some reason an outdated one was chosen by the author for the article&#039;s heading. what was that reason?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the so-called ‘Arab Spring’ was given birth during a conference in New York by the US State Department, CIA, Mossad and the Jewish owners of internet social media groups. Its aim is the fragmentation of Middle Eastern countries which could pose threat to the security of Israel.&quot;

yup

&quot;So far, Israel is only state which has benefitted from the Arab Spring. However, Syria has put a road-block to US-Israeli march to Iran.&quot;

also, syria is one of the few countries that help the palestinian resistance against the zionazi greater israel psychoville. if syria goes, lebanon probably will follow, and the chance of changing the zionazi freak show into a democratic palestine will probably pass the point of no return.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Even if Bashar al-Assad decide to resign - like in Egypt and Yemen - the pro-Bashar armed forces will never give-up the power - which means Damascus will remain part of the &#039;Axis of Resistance&#039; against the Zionist entity. And that will never be acceptable to the &#039;Axis of Evil (US-Israel-Saudia&#039;. 

the so-called &#039;Arab Spring&#039; was given birth during a conference in New York by the US State Department, CIA, Mossad and the Jewish owners of internet social media groups. Its aim is the fragmentation of Middle Eastern countries which could pose threat to the security of Israel.

So far, Israel is only state which has benefitted from the Arab Spring. However, Syria has put a road-block to US-Israeli march to Iran.

After realizing that Israel cannot win a war with Iran alone, the Zionist regime has come up with a new ‘face-saving’ excuse. Israeli business information group BDI-Coface has projected that Israeli attack against Iran could cost Israel over 167 billion shekels ($42 billion), not to mention thousands of Jews killed and billions of dollars damage to Israeli infrastructure.

However, the real reason behind Netanyahu-Barak reluctance to attack Iran is based on Israeli military hierarchy being afraid  about the prospect of going it alone without full US backing.
