When will you people understand that our fight against the Assad regime is a just cause - we are fighting for freedom and democracy! The Syrian revolution has taken place as a long-delayed response to the misery and helplessness visited upon the Syrian people by a narrow authoritarian clique that treated the country as its own private fiefdom. Our uprising is a genuine fight against tyranny! Please, please, please stop trying to claim it is all the work of the USA or other western forces. Those western countries have given us people in the Syrian resistance no help at all and have left us to fend for ourselves. If you want to know the truth about the situation in our country them please come to Syria to see the situation first hand for yourselves.

Don't worry mate, most of us know that this is a genuine uprising by the Syrian people. Unfortunatley, there is a small but vocal group of nutters (the same nutters who hold Gadaffi up as some sort of anti-imperialist hero) who believe that the Syrian regime is acceptable. I suspect they are mostly members of dying communist parties who support Assad just because of Russias historic support for the Syrian regime.

Victory to the people's revolution!!

I think not. In common with many of the conflicts in the Middle East over the past 70 years there are two key countries responsible, the USA and Israel.

Israel is destabilising Syria via false flag attacks including murders and America is paying the bills for them to do it. Assad is a popular and well liked leader in Syria with support throughout the Arab world for his resistance to the 'Greater Israel' project. Soon we will see the truth of how hundreds have died as a result of Jerusalem once again meddling to prop up their illegal country.

Why are you arguing with yourself?

Don't understand the question, please clarify.

The unrest led by the Syrian rebels is creating an extremely hazardous international situation.

As breaking the peace between former European colonizers and former Asian colonized nations - between Muslim and non-Muslim countries, -it could in fact spark a World War.


In Syria's Constitution, the country's independence, the secular state and basic framework for economic development are enshrined.

These basic principles are foundations of the civil rights of the citizens, and irrespective of details of governance, an invasion by any foreign power would deprive the citizens of civil rights, livelihood, property and equality of different faiths before the law.

The state is therefore fully entitled to defend itself.


The rebels are concentrated about the banned Syrian Muslim Brotherhood - which in the 1980s was responsible for hundreds of victims in terrorist assasinations.


Since Spring 2011, the so-called "Observatory of Human rights" (An offshot of the Muslim Brotherhood) has been issuing mendacious press releases - initially claiming to represent "peaceful demonstrators - while actually resuming the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist strategy of the 1980s, of targeting public employees, buildings, police, military, university people and intellectuals.


In June 3-6 2011, an ambush by approximately 400 fighters, partly coming across the border from Turkey, took place against military and police in Jisr Al-Shougur, leading to about 120 victims.

Initially, the "Observatory" claimed that the victims had been "executed for insubordination" by the Army.

But when the corpses were found, they were maimed, with throats, hands and feet cut off, in a way hardly practised by a regular Army.

This news was brought by Russian, Iranian and Chinese channels.


Arabic and Western media were also present - but hushed up the incident.

This hushup of the actual deeds of the terrorists continues till today.


In July, the rebels led a lynch regime of arbitrary killings in Hama.


From September-October 2011, fighters moved into Homs, carrying out attacks against civilians and authorities alike, including kidnappings, leading to hundreds of victims.


After they were driven out of Bab Amro March 2012, they carried out reprisal massacres in Homs of hundreds of people.

They usually hold local civilians as hostages or "human shields", to prevent attacks.

When the rebels have to retreat, they often commit massacres and blame it on the Syrian Government.



All of this has taken place under supervision by US private "security corporations" (actually organized crime corporations).


"Mossad, CIA, Blackwater led operations in Homs":

During the presence of the UN observers , they regrouped , carrying out further attacks against civilians in Houla and Qubeir.


Mounting criticism from the population, demanding a harder line from the Army, finally led to the retaking of rebel strongholds in June.

By 10-15.6 , they were expelled from the town of Haffeh, where they had trapped the population as hostages.

Locals were forced to participate in demonstrations:

 http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2012/06/19/246877/armed-gangs-force-syrians-to-protest/


The nationality of the prisoners shows the US/Saudi/Qatari hand in the campaign.

Hundreds of prisoners are non-Syrians, many trained by private "security companies":

A former Guantanamo prisoner - released on condition of working for a "security company" - was a cell coordinator and arranger of car bombings:


"Salaf was released from Guantanamo after signing a contract with a private US security service, due to a Homeland 2008 Program; Salaf received his first training in the US, then arrived in Tunisia in 2010, where his education was finalized and put to service by a retired Egyptian colonel.

 http://www.rt.com/news/syria-raids-terror-networks-870/


"Sources say at least 200-300 private security company employees are captured beside hundreds of foreign military and service personnel during the last 14 months of foreign terror provocation.

Among them are Portuguese nationals, who are paratroopers – and about whom Syria is asking itself how they entered the country.

Also 40-60 Germans are in Syrian custody, said the officials.

According to these sources, the Germans were caught red-handed on the Syrian coastline as they were smuggling weapons supplies for the insurgents into Syria."

This, in effect, makes it a foreign military invasion, justifying a miliktary response.

"There are a lot of soldiers of fortune among the bandits. They are Chechens, Romanians, French, Libyans, and Afghans. Moreover, there was a very funny accident with Afghan soldiers. A few Afghans were caught and asked, ‘What are you doing here?’ They replied, ‘We were told that we came to Israel, and at night we are shooting at Israeli buses.

Syria’s own criminals are also in armed gangs. These are real criminals who should be in prison."

to explain whats happening in Syria

Had a feeling this was going to degenerate down into a list of links from the wacks at globalresearch.ca, and you didn't disappoint me.

I've just clicked one of those links in previous comment.

It showed a guy being thrown out of a high window to his death
and then another guy being executed with an AK47

WTF??!

Get this shit off indymedia

It should be obvious to most (unfortunately not the pro-government loons above) that Israel and Washington have a vested interest in propping up the Syrian resistance because it acts as a lever for military action against Iran over its nuclear program. The Iran nuclear talks going on over the last few months are a part of what is going on in Syria. There is no real intention to topple Assad, just an attempt to keep Syria in turmoil should war with Iran suddenly become likely. Iran can hardly use Syria as a proxy if it is in turmoil now can it?

The US, the UK and Israel are the offenders here along with Russia. They are collectively acting to keep Syria carefully balanced on the fulcrum of conflict as a negotiating measure over Irans nuclear program. They have no choice but to do this because they are petrified that another war in the region will split their political hold at home and wipe their powerhouses out for good. This is very likely...at the moment the autonomati are something close to a superpower in terms of direct influence. The US, UK and Russia are terrified of us now, and rightly so.

For those who feel that Israel plays no part in this I can only say go back to Jerusalem where you belong. Your politics are for the tinpot silver foil hat wearing brigade. This is a game for adults, not kiddywinks. Your biggest problem right now is not what will happen if Iran gets the bomb...but what will happen to you if it doesn't!!!

You have no friends in this world...and no friends means certain death!

And as usual the thread descends into the inevitable accusations against Israel and the Americans because as we all know Arabs just sit around all day waiting to be manipulated by Jerusalem and Washington. The thought for some contributors here that perhaps ordinary Syrians sick too death of a one family military dictatorship might be fighting back is just inconceivable.

"As breaking the peace between former European colonizers and former Asian colonized nations - between Muslim and non-Muslim countries, -it could in fact spark a World War."

Which, like the last ones, is to be blamed on those who delivered and stockpiled the arms that brought it about.

That's nice but very naive.

The SFA simply do not have the population behind them. The vast majority of Syrians support Assad so at best you have in Syria a deadlock of armed groups searching for that one trigger that will sweep Assad away. But that won't happen because without the support of the Syrian people, they have nothing to govern. The British, Americans, Israeli's and Russians know this and are using the SFA's inherent weakness to first ensure that the conflict continues and second to ensure that it continues long enough for pressure to be applied to Iran.

When the Iran situation is dealt with, the SFA will be abandoned and will die a natural death because it is not strong enough to actually seize power.

The Syrian Free Army are nothing more than patsy's and plastic revolutionaries. They are strongly pro-Israel and strongly pro-US.

We have no reason to support them.

Somebody here wrote that


((( The SFA simply do not have the population behind them. The vast majority of Syrians support Assad ))))


This is ridiculous, The armed opposition have enormous support in Syria and Assad and his clan are hated by all except that 10% who live well on the backs of the people.

Love live the Syrian People !
Power to the revolution !

1 - those who are calling for armed intervention by the west or any of it's proxies

2 - those who support the SYRIAN peoples right to armed insurrection and do not want in any way shape or form any intervention by any outside state

Look at Iraq and Afghanistan, look at Libya.. that is the conclusion of western intervention. Shame on anyone calling for that.

"This is ridiculous, The armed opposition have enormous support in Syria and Assad and his clan are hated by all except that 10% who live well on the backs of the people."

And what exactly is the FSA's stance on Israel?

It is pretty obvious that intervention in Syria and the toppling of Assad seriously helps Israel at a time when it has no friends in the region. The above poster outlines the situation in Syria as taking place at exactly the moment that Israel is trying to ratchet up war with Iran.
