Hey Landis why you blocking my comments with URL links? It worked on some links, not others.

Big thing has happened in Damascus in the last two days, the exact word didn’t leak out yet. All Alawi high ranking officers were summoned to the republican palace and still there behind closed doors. Two units of republican guards have been withdrawn from the coast (Tartous) back to Damascus. The internet/tel cutout has nothing to do with Jihadi attacks, it’s all part of the mystery panic state in the presidential palace.

According to some unconfirmed rumors within the Alawis community that it’s either Maher Assad has passed away or an Alawi high ranking officer tried to take a move against Bashar.

Alawis are not fleeing Damascus so at least we can be sure that no chaos within the sect inshallah.

If Maher really passed away then another Alawi martyr puts his life for Syria and Syrians.

I’ll let you know more details when I know more.

TEST.

Thanks Ali, a valuable comment indeed.

And all Syrians say: good riddance and speedy transport to lowest hell.

We know he is long dead. And soon duck will join him in اسفل جهنم.

Shukram li Elrab, the Jihadi gangs were exterminated in the airport battle yesterday. They were lured to come from different sides (Haran/Awamied, Eastern Goutta, and Hutaitet Elturkman) they could pass the seventh bridge on the highway to Damascus airport then the Arabic Syrian Army heroes surrounded them and opened “napalm and white phosphorus” burning them alive.

More than 250 Jihadists were burned to death, and Damascus city council (mohafaza) cleaning trucks were called to clean the leftover of their flesh and blood, and still operating till now.

The Airport Battle will be remembered for long.

“We know he is long dead”

No ya tyzi he was not long dead, he was just injured in the cheap attacked orchestrated by the French and Qatari intelligence. RIP ya abo Ali.

“And soon duck will join him”

Fashart ya 7ashara.

Arming the rebels,makes no fly zone in the north unnecessary,Patriot missles system is to be used against Iran,not Syria.
The real battle is Damascus,airforce bombing there, is wrong,artillary can do the job,but to protect Damascus,we need to bomb Qassioun Mountain where Assad troops are stationed.

Ali the bonehead,

Your days are numbered and no embassy will rescue you and your delinquent hooligan old man

But at least you admit he (the idiot idol) is a duck.

Let’s see who’s got the “numbered” days you douchebag

I wonder how the Jihadists smelled after being burned alive? mmmm will it be BBQs or more like KFC.

will the Jihadists be able to fornicate the virgins after being grilled? Man I’m so glad with the great success of the airport battle

U.N. Envoy: No Return to Assad’s Old Syria

The old Syria ruled by President Bashar Assad’s family is finished and the “new Syria” will never be the same, the U.N. special envoy said Thursday, in a strong hint that Assad will have to step down before a civil war can end.

http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/62814-u-n-envoy-no-return-to-assad-s-old-syria

Pfffft. Ali shows his true colors. The regime fights only for itself, and no one else. If rumors of his death are true, no Sunni would mourn the death of Maher.

Time for the regime to die.

The regime has been posting news of its great “victories” for the last 9 months.

Yet it continues to lose.

No amount of weapon or upgrade will benefit the mercenaries, they simply don’t have the voice of the Syrian majority, and they will never will. The Jews think they can get an Atassi bitch, the daughter of a Baathit Sunni Moslem and Syrians will simply accept that ploy. I will take Assad Alawite shoe than her unworthy a*ss. Her father is one of Syria’s most despised people. He is responsible with his cousin Louai Atassi of overthrowing the Legally elected democratic and Parliamentary Government of Syria back on march 8, 1963. It is them, not the Alawites, it is her father, the one that dissolved the elected parliament, the legal government, the ranking military, the legal codes and courts, all existing State institutions, Nationalized all viable industries, and many small businesses, confiscated Real Estates from owners of second homes, expropriated land from landowners, nationalized banks and Financial, Insurabnce companies, closed private schools, took solecontrol of economy and production, agriculture of all under the State owned monopolies banned political parties, suspended the Independence constitution, declared Marshall law /State of Emergency that lasted until recently, set up the security of Baathist militia, setup the revolutionary command, notorious state security courts, banned all newspapers, radio and television, banned meetings and travels, supported the most notorious Middle East leftist terrorists, established Baath party, one party rule, fought the 1967 war and lost the Golan Height. Her two other uncles were ruthless Marxist rulers who ran Syria in the image of Stalin, another relative of her, Zuain, even shaped his mustaches in Stalin style and dressed like him commanding the street demos with the hordes of peasants and blue color workers, and I have the photos to prove it all. And some fu***ng dim witted subhuman, wants us to go back and be ruled by this click, go fu***k yourself.

I don’tgiva a f***ng dam what is left of Syria, people or structure, it can all be evaporated as far as I am concerned, anything but having another Attasi bastard that ruined Syria back in power. No F****ng way. Whatever it takes, even if it means cessation of life in the universe, well worth the price and sacrifice.

Stop the cowardness Bashar, now you cut the F***ng internet, Fu****k Declare State of War and get these Missiles and bombs with WMD’s and EXTERMINATE THEM ALLAH DAMIT. Enough Shia cowardness, the people of Syria wants these mercenaries and Atassi’s EXTERMINATED so they will never come back in another 30 years and repeat this dastardly episode again.

Ali you stupid sectarian Alawite maggot of an incarnate.

Do you actually think we believe you. I mean how many times does the government spin rumours to bring out their starving divine duck as a false confidence boost.

I mean whatever is happening around the airport, and the rebels have not taken it yet, ( leave aside your stupid causality rate) they has reached it. I mean you cut down the Internet, haven’t pacified the outer districts of Damascua and we are now hearing of fighting around the airport. To top it all off, your planes are now becoming flying ducks! Yeah, all is well give yourself a pat on the back. The sectarian Alawities are safe “phew” ! Actually, this is with the strongest and most numerous of your forces in the south and in Damascus!!!

Don’t you get it ? You are now fighting all the Sunni population and we can get reinforcements with a blink of the eye. On the other hand every causality of yours a problem!

Now get to work and clean my shoes in a duck outfit. I might toss you some shabe7ha leftovers if you are lucky

The FSA scores another victory in Reef Dimashq by capturing two military units (533 and 542). They captured many army vehicles as can be seen in the video. Oh wait. These troop carrier trucks were sent by NATO through Turkey. They were disguised as bicycles. In addition to the trucks, the FSA spokesman claims that they also captured armored vehicles. They claim that around 300 shabihas were killed and 10s were captured. At least one armored vehicle can be seen in the video. Not bad at all.

They are now very close to the airport and claim they can target any military
activity occurring in the airport.

I see that people are talking about Maher and the possibility that he is dead. It certainly is great news to hear that such a barbaric terrorist is dead, but we have to wait until this is confirmed. Actually, I am sure a lot of people in the opposition would like to see him get captured, subjected to a fair trial, and then hung in the Marjah square as punishment for all the massacres he has committed. It would be doubly great if he and Batta, the terrorist-in-chief are hung at the same time.

Yeah, let them use chemical weapons in Damascus lol!

Only a Batta will use weapons that definitely affect all of the Shabi7ha districts as well.

Look idiots your supposed to survive your own attacks right ?

In this type of warfare where the maintenance of Damascus, at least, is important for survival ( at least for another year or two ) indiscriminate chemical weapons do not work. Small amounts here and there will, at best, have some psychological impact. It will not affect the reality on the ground. I mean the shmuck has levelled 30-40% of Syria anyway. Making it a no going back policy for the population of Syria as a whole.

Dream on sectarian Alawites….It is over!

ALI,

Control yourself.

Though you are offering an insight into Alawi information and thinking, which is as real as anything else at this moment.

Saying that the sinister and cruel Maher Assad is a “martyr” and regretting his death is the most bizarre statement made here in months. Wasn’t everybody afraid of him, including his brother Bashar?

I had this vision of seeing him wheeled into court legless on a low trolley, and made to watch the audience sneering at him on giant screens as he sweated through evidence. What a shame if he’s died without suffering longer.

DOLLY,

Hey, please, give us a break.

Do you seriously want to assist SNP/ALDENDESHE in dumping viral waste like #15 on this forum?

“Lakhdar Ibrahimi will present his proposal to the UNSC on the 30th November

Please provide a credible source, which reports the view of Mr. Ibrahimi on whether B. A. should step down or not before any transitional government could see the light of day. Isn’t this precisely the major sticking point before the UNSC can adopt a resolution. It seems to me that so far, he has not publicly expressed his position.

Some people have expressed hopes that Russia will give up supporting the regime. While this is a Sensible thing to expect, I am here to inform you that Russia does *not* do what is sensible.

Russia will double down in supporting the butchers, if there is another UN condemnation they will veto again.

Your mistake was that you ascribed your own human traits to Russians, and that just doesn’t work. Russia is only about evil and doing the wrong thing.

Samaritans in Syria inspire many to act – myself included

By Rym Ghazal

Excerpt:

There have been many silent samaritans visiting Syrian refugee camps and even going into Syria with the sole purpose of “helping”. Only after a doctor friend came back did I see on Facebook his photos and notes on the horrible state of hospitals and clinics in Syria. This surgeon, of Syrian Lebanese origin, took a month off from work and headed to a war zone and volunteered his time.

His family kicked up a fuss, and even called him “selfish” for putting his life at risk when he has a family to support in Saudi Arabia. But he did it, and his bravery inspired a group of his friends (many who are engineers) to contemplate how they, too, could help Syria – when the fighting is over.

“When it is completely over, it will be so overwhelming, we won’t know where to start,” said a friend who will be assessing his family’s neighbourhood as a starting point.

People are hungry to help. Syria’s Baath regime locked out many of its citizens from active participation in their country’s development. Some have been exiled while others emigrated.

I know of westernised and Gulf nationals of Syrian origin who have been helping in the background, but are keeping a low profile as they don’t want any repercussions on relatives who still live in Syria.

But it is not just Syrians helping Syrians. And it shouldn’t be.

One idea I’ve had is to launch a reading and writing mission to Syria. I’ll call it “operation fairy tale”. The idea is that we would go to refugee camps and Syrian cities reading stories, donating books and notebooks and engaging children of all ages with a world of words.

Some might say this is the last thing Syrians need now; that what they need, and too often lack, are basic necessities like water and food. But any diversion from an ugly and harsh reality – if only for a few minutes – could do wonders.

And you never know. It might plant a seed of hope in someone’s soul by simply showing that people cared enough simply to be there as they suffered.

How Was Syria’s Internet Shut Down? Experts Explain Online Blackout

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/29/syria-internet-shut-down-online-blackout-explained_n_2213263.html?utm_hp_ref=tw

Bi izn elrab the coming days will bring lots of surprises to all Jihadists and “freedom” bacterias, the Arabic Syrian Army is preparing a special bleach cleaning solution for the full wipe out, the airport battle is just the beginning.

Anybody dies defending a cause is martyr, and Maher died while was defending the country and the existence of minorities. He was our favorite leader over Bashar, simple because he was a real man not a woos.

and yes the govt shutdown the internet and tel so what? they gotta do what they gotta do to support the Arabic Syrian Army. State officials use the unknown Huawei-CDMA network for communication, this network is a gift from China and it’s exactly for days like these, its main station is in Qura Alassad and run by the branch 225.

ALI
How do you know he is dead?

The bleach you are talking about is that chemical weapons?

Do you justify using chemical weapons and if so in what circumstances?

Do you consider yourself Syrian first, Arab first, Alawi first?

Do you consider yourself anything else but Alawi?

Just curious.

Ali

Thanks for your honesty reflecting how the Alawis (and non/Alawis) Mnhebaks think. I actually feel no animosity towards you whatsoever. I resent however very much the closet Shabeehs who practice the famous Taqiah when fooling none but themselves.

With this mentality of justifying using chemical weapons against the people perceived by mnhebsaks as Jihadi 7ashara, things will only be solved by armed showdown. It is only when Mnhebaks are defeated militarily that the mere sense of defeat and powerlessness will force them to return to their senses and realize that the Alawi sectarian dynasty in Syria the way we had it was destined to not survive.

“Syrian army is cleaning up Daraya”

You know as someone that lost a person dear and close to my heart in the last “cleaning up” of Darayya by the Assadi militia the statement by ZOO above from the previous thread should’ve invoked anger and hatred towards this clueless commentator.

Instead all I feel for this person is pity, and sadness. I pity him/her for their callous blinders that somehow coverup the horrendous actions of the roving Assadi militia into a justified cause of “cleaning up”.

I can’t speak for her young children, nor for the battered and tortured soul of her husband but as someone that knew her and have been around her from the day he was born I would like to say to you is that I forgive you.

I forgive you for cheerleading her death and writing it off as another terrorist dead, I forgive you for your simplistic labelling of your fellow countrymen that somehow justify their killing, I forgive you for your treasonous support of a regime intent on killing its own citizens.

2. ALI

I hope you are right and Maher passed already and soon Bashar too. My congratulations to you, because it would allow alawites to keep somehow alive.

The struggle is going to go not just inside Damascus, and not even inside alleys, it is going to be an inside buildings / inside flats and villas´ war. Getting Bashar alive is like getting 1000 Binladens.

Great idiots of the regime, leaders and milicias. Blind stupid criminals and burglars. Your time has come.

The day you will be finished is today sooner than yesterday.

Egypt’s new Constitution: a blow to women, freedom of speech and human rights.
The Islamic Republic of Iran appears like a paradise of justice compared what is in for Egypt under the hypocritical Moslem Brotherhood.

Disputed articles in Egypt’s draft constitution
By The Associated Press | Associated Press – 12 hrs ago

CAIRO (AP) — An Islamist-dominated panel is voting on Egypt’s draft constitution, the country’s first charter after the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak. The draft largely reflects the conservative vision of the Islamists, with articles that rights activists, liberals and Christians fear will lead to restrictions on the rights of women and minorities and civil liberties in general.

Omissions of certain articles, such as bans on slavery or promises to adhere to international rights treaties, were equally worrying to critics of the new draft, who pulled out from the panel before the vote.

Here are some of the disputed articles:

— As in past constitutions, the new draft says that the “principles of Islamic law” will be the basis of law. Previously, the term “principles” allowed wide leeway in interpreting Shariah. But in the draft, a separate new article is added that seeks to define “principles” by pointing to particular theological doctrines and their rules. That could give Islamists the tool for insisting on stricter implementation of rulings of Shariah.

— A new article states that Egypt’s most respected Islamic institution, Al-Azhar, must be consulted on any matters related to Shariah, a measure critics fear will lead to oversight of legislation by clerics.

— An article underlines that the state will protect “the true nature of the Egyptian family … and promote its morals and values,” phrasing that is vague and suggests state control over the contents of such arts forms as books and films.

— The draft contains no article specifically establishing equality between men and women because of disputes over the phrasing. However, it maintains that a woman must balance her duties toward family and outside work, suggesting that she can be held accountable if her public role conflicts with her family duties. No such article is mentioned for men.

— An article bans insulting or defaming the prophet and messengers, but is vague about what constitutes an insult, raising concerns of restrictions to freedom of expression.

— An article seeking to ensure people’s dignity bans “insulting humans”, a vague phrasing that rights activists say contradicts freedom of expression.

— An article maintains that the state supports the arts, science and literature and works to implement them in a way that serves society. That has raised concerns that some arts deemed not in the service of society may be restricted or censored.

— An article preserves the right of the military to try civilians before military tribunals in cases for crimes that harm the armed forces without restrictions, despite an outcry from activists who were calling for the abolishing of such tribunals. More than 11,000 civilians were tried before military tribunals during the post-Mubarak transition overseen by the military.

ALI #29,

Goodness, how confused you are. How protected from the truth by myths and fantasies of “power”.

Maher Assad is not only a psychotic criminal thug with no legitimate role in Syria, he is also a failed, weak “woos”. He tried to shoot his sister’s husband Asef Shawkat dead and stuffed it up, and had to live with defeat when Shawkat was sent for repairs in France and returned to live in triumph in the Assad nest with the other vipers.

He may have lost his legs in that explosion but that would have been all because there was NOTHING between his legs. He was not a real man, he was a debased, vile criminal and thief who terrorised, killed and tortured for sport.

For a sense of the real Maher Assad – including his incompetence as a “military leader” – read this account by his sister in law and others who have had direct dealings with him:

I always try to post documented information from ‘reliable’ media.

This plan was reported twice by the medias both from anti-regime media. As the UNSC session was held in closed door, we don’t know exactly what Ibrahimi said. Ahead of that UNSC meetins, there were probably leaks about his plan.

On Al Shark Al Awsat, mouthpiece of the Saudis:

“But the coalition already faces a major test. It has not agreed on how to deal with international proposals that envisage a transitional period without requiring Assad to step down, an option deemed unthinkable by opposition groups in Syria.”

Hanzala

“The old Syria ruled by President Bashar Assad’s family is finished and the “new Syria” will never be the same,”

That’s such an evidence that Ibrahimi sounds really stupid, if he actually said that.
Of course Syria will not be the same and may not be ruled by the Assad, but the Baath Party will stay united and stronger than before and there will be multiple little opposition parties bickering with each other as they doing in Cairo right now and also there will roaming uncontrolled and lost militias, Libya like, still excited by the guns they are holding but refusing to budge.

By the way there is not a single hint that Bashar will step down: Only your wishful thinking… Previous leaks on Ibrahimi’s proposal say exactly the contrary.

Blast wrecks 6 vehicles for Press TV and al-Alam Networks in Damascus
November 30, 2012 3:28 PM

A blast occurred in the Syrian capital Damascus, destroying six vehicles, including an SNG truck, belonging to Press TV and al-Alam television networks.

Syrian security forces said that the bomb explosion was carried out the office of Press TV in Damascus after a man was caught on camera sticking “something” to a car.

The person escaped minutes before the detonation.

The bomb attack, however, did not cause any casualties.

Countries supporting Syrian rebels meet in Tokyo
2012-11-30 19:20:22
…
TOKYO, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) — Delegates from more than 60 countries supporting the Syrian rebels gathered Friday here and called for imposing more sanctions on the Syrian government led by President Bashar al-Assad.

The meeting was held by the Friends of the Syrian People International Working Group on Sanctions and co-chaired by Morocco, Japan and the European External Action Service, an organ of the European Union.

In a statement released after the meeting, the group said it welcomes the National Coalition which is newly founded by the Syrian rebels and called for members of the Friends of Syria to impose more sanctions on Syrian government.

This is the 5th meeting held by the working group. The first meeting was held in April in Paris and the last meeting was in Hague in September.

Love it.  It is not just the people of Syria against the regime.  It is the whole world against it.

Hackers warning to Syria
Global hacking network Anonymous said it will shut down Syrian government websites around the world in response to the Assad regime’s internet blackout. Reuters reports:

Anonymous, a loose affiliation of hacking groups that opposes Internet censorship, said it will remove from the Internet all web assets belonging to Assad’s government that are outside Syria, starting with embassies.

By 1000 GMT on Friday, the website for Syria’s embassy in Belgium was down but the embassy in China – which Anonymous said it would target first – was operating. Most government ministry websites were down although this could be due to the blackout.

So these poor cowards have to attack journalists because they can’t make progresses against the government?

Murders, car bombs, attacks on journalists, attacks on electricity distribution, attack on Internet stations..

Are these signs of the rebels imminent “glorious victory” or the work of desperate islamist cowards who are loosing steam and fear their end is nearing?

Pro-Russian journalists are legitimate targets for criticism.

Those who broadcast pro-dictatorship channels (RussiaToday) have blood on their hands.

I don’t see why suicide car bombing would be a problematic technique, provided that the target is legitimate.
Why do you care if the operative committed suicide or not?

Dolly,

You should be able to distinguish between Rusky informers and mullah-stani ones.

These ones (Press and 3Alam) are mullah-stani.

President Assad needs reinforcements in his Republican Guard to defend Malki from the crazy terrorist population of all Syria.

Why don´t you travel to Syria to defend your heroe? Oh right the airport is closed…. well, it is easy just come trough the lebanese syrian border with any of the Hezballah trucks coming daily to Syria.

Reports: 17 Lebanese Islamists Killed in Syria Ambush

by Naharnet Newsdesk 2 hours ago

Some 17 Lebanese Islamists were killed in Syria on Friday as they were infiltrating the country, reported various media outlets.

Agence France Presse said that 17 Lebanese Sunni fighters were killed in Syria’s Tall Kalakh border area in an ambush carried out by regime forces.

A security source said that the victims were fighting alongside the Syrian opposition.

Ewe, indeed

Hi.  “Why do you care if the operative committed suicide or not?”

واللهِ عسل.  Very funny the way you simply stated it.

It is just that suicide bombing is a blind operation and can kill civilians in addition to the target intended and therefore terrorize people.  The innocent bystander could be a child.  

Ewe from the Zoo (63),

Chosen specifically for its rhyming effects.

Glad we agree on one thing at least. But, strange, you never sounded like you have any poetic aptitude.

O’, I Forgot you’re not an Arab!!

Bombing should occur near the presidential palace to shock and awe.  It is  not important to hold onto the airport, it is important to destroy it.     

Syrian fighting rages as rebels push for Damascus

Seizing the airport was also a stated goal of the second co-ordinated attempt to take Damascus in the past four months.

“We want to liberate the airport because of reports we see and our own information we have that shows civilian airplanes are being flown in here with weapons for the regime,” rebel spokesman Musaab Abu Qitada said of the latest assault. “It is our right to stop this.”
…
While Damascus does not appear to be at imminent risk of falling, Assad’s battle weary forces remain stretched and heavily engaged in all corners of the country. Recent defectors speak of low morale and growing problems with supply lines in the city.

The outgoing US secretary of state, Hilary Clinton, who with Barack Obama had refused to supply weapons to the Free Syria Army, said recent developments showed the dynamic in Syria was changing.

“I don’t know if you can say that the entire country is at a tipping point, but it certainly seems that the regime will be harder pressed in the coming months,” she said. “It appears as though the opposition is now capable of holding ground and that they are better equipped and more able to bring the fight to the government forces.”
(…)

Lakhdar Ibrahimi suggested to send peacekeeping forces to Syria, it must be supported by resolution in the UNSC. Jaafari said he approved
Such resolution will give Bashar time, and his approval undicates the weakness of his forces,and will stop the advances of FSA,such force will protect Assad only.

What do they want from Syria?

By Finian Cunningham | Press TV | November 29, 2012

“What do they want from Jaramana? The town brings together people from all over Syria and welcomes everybody.” These were the anguished words of one distraught resident in the Syrian town of Jaramana that was devastated by multiple deadly explosions this week.

The death toll has yet to be confirmed. Early reports on the blasts said 34 were killed. Later, the toll was put at more than 50, with over 120 injured, many critical. All of the victims were civilian.

Over the past 20 months, Syria has witnessed dozens of massacres and horrific car bombings in its capital Damascus and in other cities and countless villages across the country. But the latest atrocity in Jaramana, located close to the capital, is distinguishable perhaps because it most clearly shows the vile Machiavellian mentality of the perpetrators in their broader strategy towards the Middle Eastern country.

As the words of the shell-shocked resident above indicate, Jaramana can be seen as an exemplar of the pluralist nature of the Syrian society, “welcoming everybody”. The town is particularly known for its Christian and Druze Muslim communities, who by all accounts have coexisted peacefully for centuries. The populace is also largely supportive of the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad.

This Wednesday morning, as workers, mothers and school children were going about their usual daily routine, two massive no-warning explosions ripped through the heart of Jaramana. The second blast was detonated minutes after the first one when bystanders were rushing to the scene to aid the wounded. The heinous calculation of the perpetrators was to maximise the killing and suffering.

“What do they want from Jaramana?” The answer is revealed in the resident’s subsequent words: “The town brings together people from all over Syria and welcomes everybody.”

The terrorist war on Syria, which the Western media trumpet as a “pro-democracy uprising”, is aimed at precisely the opposite of pluralist coexistence. What the terrorists want is to tear the tolerant soul out of the country and plunge its people into an internecine, hate-filled sectarian bloodbath.

The targeting of Jaramana is a deliberate, brutal calculation to precipitate such a bloodbath. The town has been inflicted with several similar, although less deadly, bombings in recent months. On 29 October, a car bomb killed 11 people.

There are no military or state security installations in Jaramana. As noted, it is a urban district known for its tolerance towards mixed religions and cultural heritage. But, for the terrorists and their fiendish mentality, that civic virtue made Jaramana a prime target.

The armed militants in Syria are driven by Sunni extremists of Wahhabist or Salafist tendencies, who see pluralist coexistence of Sunni, Shia, Alawite, Druze, Christian, Jews and non-believers as anathema to their demented puritanical ideology.

Other elements within the Syrian armed militant groups would appear to be simply “soldiers of fortune” – mercenaries and criminal opportunists who have no particular religious affiliation.

However, taken together, these various militant factions are united by one criminal goal: to smash Syria, ruthlessly and recklessly.

The Syrian society, as it currently exists with its emphasis on secular pluralism, must be destroyed at all costs by these extremists and criminal opportunists. The most effective way to sabotage Syria is to unleash a sectarian bloodbath and to pit communities at each other’s throats. That will ensure the collapse of the central government and the splintering of society into sects. In this intended milieu of violence, chaos and fear, Syria will then be at the mercy of those who want to dominate this proud, historic country.

The enemies are well known. Western governments have had their knives out for Syria over many years, seeing it as a strategic obstacle of popular resistance to Western imperialism and Zionism in the Middle East. The Sunni regimes of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and latterly Egypt under Mohammed Morsi want to see Syria roped into their camp, with the added appeal of undermining Iran’s regional influence.

Saudi Arabia’s autocrats are particularly obsessed with defeating what they perceive jealously as the Shia Crescent represented by Iran, Syria and Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Both of these agenda converge on the objective of isolating Iran and setting up the Islamic Republic for an all-out military assault.

Syria is therefore a crucial geopolitical prize for the West and its regional allies. The supposed advocacy of democratic reforms by Western governments and their corporate media mouthpieces is of course a cynical cover for their criminal imperialist agenda. That particular ridiculous lie is exposed by the West’s collusion with the most repressive dictatorial regimes on the planet – the Persian Gulf monarchies – in “liberating” Syria.

Also, if Saudi Arabia and Qatar are so concerned about the welfare of their Arab Muslim brothers in Syria, why aren’t these supposedly chivalrous monarchs sending weapons and fighters to help the besieged Palestinian people of Gaza?

A measure of the Syrian prize is the criminal lengths to which the enemies of Syria are willing to go in order to vanquish the country and install their self-styled regime.

The massacres of families and children in villages like Houla and Qubair; the cold-blooded execution of civilians forced to kneel before their killers; and the callous bombing of civilians as seen this week in Jaramana are techniques of terror that the Western governments and their allies have perfected elsewhere over several decades. The Americans used such demonic scientific terrorism in Central America; the French in North Africa; and the British in East Africa and more recently in Northern Ireland.

Syria is witnessing the worst of all possible criminal assaults – the evolution and amalgamation of Western state terrorism fueled with the petrodollars of mindless Arab despots.

Adding to the abomination, many of the crimes in Syria have been filmed by the perpetrators and subsequently released claiming that they were the action of government forces. One incident was the explosive demolition of a mosque by the mercenaries in Aleppo, who were filmed laughing at their war crime. Western media claimed it was the Syrian national army, only for it to emerge that it was actually the members of the so-called Free Syrian Army.

Recent claims that the Syrian armed forces are using cluster bombs to kill children have been given the usual Western media prominence. But given the track record of the Western-backed mercenaries and the Western propaganda machine, the weight of suspicion surely lies on them.

Within hours of the mass murder of the innocents in Jaramana, the United Nations General Assembly in New York adopted a draft resolution condemning the Syrian government for what it called “widespread human rights abuses”.

The condemnation was co-sponsored by the United States, Britain, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey – the very sponsors of Western state terrorism plunging the Syrian people into a bloodbath. The UN stands as an institution that is not just a debased propaganda tool, it is a propaganda tool splattered with the blood of innocents

That what I was afraid of. Now that the military power is tipping towards the rebels, a peacekeeping mission to be sent consented by the regime. It will only prolong Batta’s life and ensure him an honorable exit. Batta’s life should end shortly and in the worst possible way. The coalition should not approve of Ibrahimi’s plan. Where was the peacekeeping mission when 30,000 Syrians were slaughtered?

Hacking network Anonymous declares cyber war on Syrian govt
http://rt.com/news/syria-hacking-internet-web-001/
Anonymous have said they will shut down the Syrian governments websites around the world in response to Syria’s internet blackout.
(Anonymous: tear the ass!Drink the Ocean !To go all your capabilities to hell demons)
For the second day all internet services, mobile phones and many fixed line phones are out of action.
A tweet on Friday from the group read, “Government of Syria cuts country’s internet access – anonymous goes on warpath.”
Anonymous quickly called their campaign Opsyria. At 02:00 am GMT on Friday they started removing all the Syrian government’s internet properties that remained online, after the country’s Web access was severed, they also targeted domains ran by pro-government sympathizers.
Some of the Syrian organizations and companies that have been hacked by Anonymous include Syrian Railways, the Syrian parliament, Syrian TV and the Syrian Embassy in China.
The hackers also managed to download 1GB of confidential memos and emails from the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs including details about plane loads of cash from Russia and arms from Ukraine, which they have uploaded for public viewing.
Hacking by pro Syrian regime forces – who had previously targeted Al Jazeera and Reuters – has dried up in the last few days presumably because of the Syrian internet blackout, Security Week, an online internet security journal, reports. Although, it is not possible to verify many of these claims because of the internet blackout……..

War rips apart families, neighbors in Syria
By ZEINA KARAM | Associated Press – 1 hr 30 mins ago

http://news.yahoo.com/war-rips-apart-families-neighbors-syria-180712815.html

But behind the broad outlines, even families within the same community have been wrenched apart.

Some are torn by ideology: In a family, some remain fiercely loyal to Assad, alienating those who became regime opponents. Despite years of discrimination under the Assad family rule, even some Sunni Muslims back him, whether out of fear of the alternative or belief in the regime narrative boasting of Syria as an oasis of secularism and stability in a turbulent region.

Others families are divided by circumstances: Young army conscripts find themselves fighting for a regime they fear defecting from even as their brothers join the rebels.

“Syrian society has been deeply fragmented along multiple lines which may take generations to repair,” said Randa Kassis, a Syrian anthropologist opposed to Assad’s regime. “Anyone of a different opinion is immediately being cast as an agent or a stooge.”

“It will take a lot of work to instill a culture of tolerance and acceptance, of give and take among people,” said the Paris-based Kassis, who founded the Movement for a Pluralistic Society, an organization working for a secular and united civil society in Syria.

In that atmosphere, a difference of opinion within a family can swell into a bitter split.

Militant leader in Syria seeks Islamic state
By ANDREA ROSA | Associated Press – 3 hrs ago

http://news.yahoo.com/militant-leader-syria-seeks-islamic-state-161917234.html

RAS AL-AYN, Syria (AP) — A leader of an al-Qaida-inspired militant group fighting the regime in Syria said his men do not fear death and they are determined to form an Islamic state.

Jabhat al-Nusra — Arabic for “the Support Front” — has claimed responsibility for suicide bombings and other attacks on regime targets across the country. The group has raised fears of a growing Islamic militant element among the forces seeking to topple President Bashar Assad.

“Thanks to our strong faith we do not fear death, because we think that if you are killed by the hands of this regime, then we will be martyrs and we will go to paradise,” said Sheik Abu Ahmed, 41, a regional military commander for al-Nusra in the northern Hasaka region.

“We want Sharia (Islamic law) to be applied because it’s the right path for all humanity,” he added. “All these constitutional laws couldn’t realize the people’s happiness.”

أشار مبعوث الأمم المتحدة الى سوريا الأخضر الإبراهيمي خلال مناقشة الجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة الأوضاع في سوريا، الى أن “قوى المعارضة السورية تصر على ضرورة رحيل الرئيس السوري بشار الأسد والمقربين منه قبل الحديث عن أي تسوية”.
ولفت الى أن “النزاع العسكري في سوريا توسع الى كل أجزاء سوريا الجغرافية”، مشددا على أنه “إما أن يتوصل السوريون الى تسوية سياسية أو تصبح سوريا دولة فاشلة بكل التداعيات”.
وأكد الابراهيمي أن الوضع في سوريا مأساوي ونقص التمويل هو عائق أمام إستمرار الجهود، مشددا على أن قوات المعارضة السورية أصبحت تسيطر على مناطق واسعة من البلاد وأنواع جديدة من الاسلحة.
ولفت الابراهيمي الى أن المواجهة العسكرية في سوريا مستمرة دون هوادة، مشيرا الى أن إنهيار الوضع الامني في سوريا بدا أكثر وضوحا، معتبرا أن الجانب الحكومي لا زال ينظر الى نفسه على أنه السلطة الشرعية، مؤكد أن الخيار الوحيد الذي يجب على السوريين العمل عليه هو عملية سياسية عن طريق التفاوض,
ودعا الابراهيمي الى نشر قوات حفظ سلام قوية في سوريا من خلال مجلس الأمن
I can not rule out that Ibrahimi and most western governments may be trying to give Assad more time but I still think the main reason for Ibrahimi’s position is the common and real fear that what may come next will be worse than Assad if the transition was not orderly and somewhat acceptable to both parties, if you think what Syria has now is the worst things can get ,you are sadly mistaken, a blood bath is in the waiting if no settlement is reached, your excitement about rebels advances is understood but it is time that you allow yourself to look at the whole picture, anger and the urge to get even can easily cloud good judgement.

Zoo@76

Listen to you. Too much criticism from someone cheering the cleaning of Darrya. Don’t you think? Even all the atrocities that happened against the people of Syria was not good enough for you yesterday when it came to 6 centuries of Alawi historical injustice.

It looks like the ‘decisive’ Damas war once again slipped out of the hands of the rebels who in the contrary seem to be taking a good beating all over Syria and on its borders.

Of course the FSA commanders who predicted a ‘divine victory’ in Damas will invoke the regime’s cheap shot of the “Internet switch off” as the reason for the failure.

In any case thank Allah, Jabhat al Nusra is still active in car bombings and murders… At least the FSA has that to rely on.

Arms smugglers captured in Jordan sought to aid jihadists in Syria, cell phone data showed
http://www.worldtribune.com/2012/11/30/arms-smugglers-captured-in-jordan-sought-to-aid-jihadists-in-syria-cell-phone-data-showed/
AMMAN — Jordan has again reported efforts to block the flow of
weapons to rebels in neighboring Syria.The Public Security Department said five Jordanians were captured on suspicion of smuggling weapons into Syria. A department statement said the alleged smugglers sought to move a large weapons cache, particularly assault rifles, along Jordan’s northern border.
“Because of information gathered from their mobile phones and computers, it was clear that these men were either supporting or attempting to join jihadist fighters in Syria,” a Jordanian security source said.
The statement said the detainees were residents of the northern
Jordanian village of Tura. One of the detainees was said to have been released in 2012 after he served five years of a 15-year sentence for an insurgency plot in the kingdom.
Authorities determined that the weapons were meant to have been
transported to the southern Syrian city of Dera. The source said the shipment was ordered by Al Qaida-aligned militias.
At least 250 Jordanian fighters were believed to have crossed into Syria in 2012. Islamist sources said 15 Jordanians were killed in the Sunni revolt in Syria.

The exploits of Future MP Okab Sakr have not been limited to providing arms to Syrian opposition fighters. The recordings obtained by Al-Akhbar have also shed light on his pivotal role in closely following up on military operations in Syria, even personally leading military operations rooms spread throughout Turkey and Lebanon.
Audio recording:

Okab Sakr: Hello.

UV: Yes, brother.

OS: Yes.

UV: What is required, what do you need?

OS: We need machine guns, bullets, PKC [machine gun] bullets, RPG rounds, and more advanced weapons for Aleppo, the Aleppo countryside, and the Idlib region.

UV: Which areas specifically?

OS: Aleppo and the Aleppo countryside, [and] Azaz and the surrounding regions. There are areas under siege in Idlib; a number of areas are coming under intense attack at present. The order needs to be delivered as quickly as possible.

UV: Okay, but what advanced weapons specifically?

OS: I don’t know. Nothing specific. But the order basically [consists of] anti-aircraft and anti-tank [weapons], along with ordinary or light to medium weapons.

UV: Okay, Okay.

It’s important to decisively slaughter the Alawite/KGB evildoers, and the UN is completely ineffectual at it. The UN only issues worried statements about how worried they are. Such weakness is laughed at by the truly evil people of the Kremlin and Nusayгiyyah.

أعلنت شركة “جوجل” على مدونتها العربية الرسمية على الإنترنت عن إعادة إطلاق خدمة “Speak2Tweet” لناشطي الثورة السورية ليتمكنوا من إيصال صوتهم إلى الخارج عبر إرسال تسجيلات صوتية إلى أرقام محددة، لتقوم الخدمة بنشرها على هيئة تغريدة ضمن حسابها على تويتر.
وقالت الشركة، أنها عملت منذ أقل من سنتين، عندما تم قطع الإنترنت في مصر، مع تويتر لإطلاق “Speak2Tweet” لتمكين أي شخص من بعث تغريدة باستخدام الاتصالات الصوتية.
تأتي هذه الخطوة بعد أن أكدت شركتان لمراقبة الانترنت مقرهما في الولايات المتحدة بأن الحكومة السورية قامت أمس الخميس بتعليق خدمة الانترنت في كافة أرجاء البلاد، وبذلك أصبحت ولاتزال سوريا معزولة عن العالم الخارجي حتى لحظة كتابة الخبر. وتأكيد نشطاء في سوريا يتواصلون على الإنترنت عبر هاتف الثريا (باستخدام الأقمار الصناعية) الانقطاع غير المسبوق للإنترنت، والاتصالات الأرضية والخلوية.

Its a daily part of the CBS evening news to state…” in Syria the forces of dictator Assad are still killing children”.

The comment section of SC provides an unfortunate reality of the pros and cons of the close to two years of bloodshed.

The basic question as to why the so called “western powers” [U.S., France, England especially] have committed themselves to participate in providing arms, support etc,. has never been really analyzed.

Could it be that the real reasons are not so much a dictator or rebels as it is “oil and gas pipelines”? According to reports a completely unkown to the international public, Sheikh Moaz al-Khatib has been catapulted to the presidency of the Syrian National Coalition. The Sheikh its also reported is an official with the Shell Oil company.

Could there also be a connection with whats occurring in Iraq?

Ibrahimi is dreaming. The most he would get is few hundred observers ala Dabi who will travel to Syria and spend their time observing from hotel rooms. Syria needs over 100,000 peace keepers and the agreement of all fighters on the ground to make it work.

No country is willing to send troops for peace keeping in Syria in order to get killed.

On the other hand, the oil business of FSA is booming,

Breaking: Western-backed Terrorists in Syria Slaughter Christians in Bombing

Al Qaeda terrorists, backed, armed, funded, and diplomatically recognized by the West, have detonated 2 car bombs in Christian-Druze quarters in Damascus, killing dozens.

Excusing egregious acts of terrorism aimed at Syria’s civilian population by claiming those targeted were “mostly loyal to President Bashar Assad” has been a favorite tactic of AP, BBC, CNN, Fox News, and others. In reality, the vast majority of Syrians, from Christians to Druze, from Shia’a Muslims to moderate Sunnis, are targets of the sectarian extremist, Saudi-Wahhabi indoctrinated terrorists the US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia have been funding, arming, importing from across the region, and arraying against the people of Syria since at least 2007.

No one will listen to Ibrahimi, The time for political solution is long gone, the question we need to deal with is what to do with 80% of Assad sect who supported him to the end, there is precedent,at the time of the Prophet, he let that decision to the enemy, the Khaybar jews, they choose to die,and Moses sentenced those who disobeyed him to kill themselves, I think we must have more mercy, we should take their money , all their money,and give it to their victims.

عملية استباقية للجيش السوري حول دمشق أم استعجال للمعركة التي يجري التحضير لها، من قبل المعارضة والنظام على السواء؟
إنها محاولة استباق هجوم لـ«الجيش السوري الحرّ» على العاصمة، هكذا يرى مقربون من الأخير في باريس. المعركة التي دارت أمس في منطقة قريبة من طريق مطار دمشق الإستراتيجي، وفي بلدات حران العواميد وحجيرة وعقربا، تظهر مؤشرات مهمة على اقتناع الطرفين بأن المعركة حول دمشق تلوح في الأفق.
وعزّز فرضية اقتراب الصراع من دمشق، ما حصل من إغلاق للطريق إلى مطار دمشق الدولي أمس، والذي سرعان ما أعلنت السلطات السورية إعادة فتحه مشيرة إلى أنه بات «آمناً» بالكامل. وكانت وزارة الإعلام السورية ذكرت أن «الطريق الى مطار دمشق الدولي آمن بعد اعتداءات من مجموعة إرهابية مسلحة على السيارات العابرة وتدخل الجهات المختصة»، وذلك بعد ساعات من إعلان مصر ودولة الإمارات تعليق الرحلات الجوية إلى مطار دمشق بسبب الوضع الأمني.
وبالعودة إلى جبهتي الصراع، فعلى جبهة المعارضة، أظهرت الصواريخ المضادة للطائرات عنصراً جديداً في عملية تعديل ميزان القوى المستمر لمصلحة المعارضة. تلك الصواريخ، تسمح للمعارضة المسلحة بالرهان على تحييد جزء كبير من الطيران الحربي السوري، الذي يلحق خسائر كبيرة بوحداتها التي تحتشد حول العاصمة وفي ريف دمشق.
ويقدّر أحد المعارضين القريبين من «الجيش الحر» عدد المقاتلين الذين توغلوا في ريف دمشق بما يقارب 40 ألف مقاتل، يملكون مخزوناً كبيراً من الأسلحة والذخائر، ويظهرون قدرة على القتال لفترة طويلة بفضل خطوط إمداد آمنة على الرغم من قصف الطيران، وهو ما يرجح بأن يتيح نهاية مختلفة لمعركة دمشق الثانية.
وكانت وحدات «الجيش الحر» قد انسحبت قبل أشهر أمام هجوم مضاد وواسع قامت به الوحدات النظامية، بسبب افتقادها كما قالت آنذاك إلى طرق إمداد آمنة وأسلحة وذخائر كافية. وبحسب مصدر سوري موثوق، فإن وحدات من «الجيش الحر» تخلّت عن مواقع لها في منطقة حوران وتوجهت للقتال في مناطق ريف دمشق. ويضيف تضخّم العديد مؤشراً ثانياً على اتجاه المعارضة المسلحة لخوض معركة دمشق واعتبارها أولوية في هجومها على الجيش السوري، واستدراج وحدات النخبة الموالية له المتمركزة حول دمشق إلى ساحات القتال.
في المقابل، يشير تعميم داخلي في بعض وحدات «الجيش الحر» بريبة إلى التقدم السريع الذي أحرزته وحداته في منطقة ريف دمشق. ويحذر التعميم من احتمال أن يكون الجيش السوري قد تراجع في بعض المناطق حول مطار دمشق وفي الريف وأخلاها، بهدف استدراج وحدات «الجيش الحر» إلى معركة غير متكافئة، فضلاً عن القضاء على المجموعات التي يقوم بإرسالها إلى المنطقة لفرض حصار على المدينة والاستيلاء على الطرق الاستراتيجية المؤدية إلى المطار، أو تلك التي تربط دمشق ببيروت.
ويقدّم التعميم سيناريو لكمين كبير قد يكون نصبه النظام السوري للمعارضة المسلحة لإيهامها بأنه لم يعد قادراً على المواجهة، قبل الانقضاض على وحداتها.
ويعزّز مثل هذا السيناريو، الحماس الذي يبديه النظام، بحسب خبراء في العاصمة السورية، وهو مماثل لحماس المعارضة لخوض معركة دمشق، وتحقيق انتصار عسكري واسع في ريفها ومنع اختراق دفاعاته. وتوجد مؤشرات عديدة على الأرض تدل على أن الجيش السوري يعمل منذ أشهر على تحويل ريف دمشق إلى مصيدة لـ«الجيش الحر». فخلال الأشهر الماضية، تقدمت استراتيجية تحطيم البيئة الحاضنة لـ«الجيش الحر» بشكل واسع. وبات واضحاً أن معظم بلدات الغوطة الشرقية ومدنها الممتدة من دير العصافير حتى حرستا أصبحت مدناً مهجورة. وتتمركز في المنطقة وحدات النخبة من الحرس الجمهوري والفرقة الرابعة، وقد تحولت معظم البلدات القريبة من العاصمة وحزامها الشرقي إلى ساحة قتال يمكن المناورة فيها بحرية أكبر ومن دون عائق «مدني».
وتُعدّ حرية المناورة من دون عوائق مدنية ضرورة لجيش كلاسيكي من طراز الجيش السوري في مواجهة مجموعات تخوض حرب عصابات فعالة ضده وتتمتع بخزان من المقاتلين لا ينضب، رغم الخسائر الكبيرة التي ألحقها به القصف المدفعي والطيران.
ويمكن إضافة اللجوء الكثيف إلى الطيران إلى لائحة مؤشرات تدل على تصميم النظام على استخدام كل ما يملك من أسلحة، من دون أن يغيّر ظهور الصواريخ المضادة للطائرات شيئاً في المعادلة القائمة بنظره. وتقول معلومات إن الجيش السوري لا يعتقد أن المعارضة المسلحة تملك أكثر من 50 صاروخ «أرض – جو» استخدمت منها 12 صاروخاً حتى الآن، وإن معظمها تملكها مجموعات تعمل في الشمال السوري بشكل خاص بعيداً عن العاصمة.
وقد يلجأ الجيش السوري للحفاظ على قدرته للقصف بالطائرات إلى الاستغناء عن «الميغ 21» و«الميغ 23» التي فُقد بعضها في المعارك واستخدام طائرات من طراز «ميغ 25» و«ميغ 30» التي يمكنها التحليق عالياً، بعيداً عن مرمى الصواريخ التي زوّد القطريون بها المعارضة. وكانت قطر قامت بتزويد المعارضة السورية المسلحة بهذه الصواريخ منذ أشهر، إلا أن قرار استخدامها الذي اتخذ منذ أيام كان قراراً سياسياً يدل على احتدام السباق نحو هدفين: إسقاط الشمال السوري بأسرع وقت ممكن، وتحويله إلى منطقة آمنة في ظلّ حكومة مؤقتة، فضلاً عن تشديد الضغط على دمشق وريفها.
ويبدي مقربون من النظام رباطة جأش تتناقض مع اقتراب المعارضة المسلحة من أبواب العاصمة، حيث لا يخشى النظام من نقص العديد. وهذا ما يؤكده مصدر من دمشق، مشيراً إلى أنه خلال الأشهر الماضية عاد الآلاف من الجنود والضباط من إيران وروسيا بعد أن تلقوا تدريبات على «حرب العصابات».. كما أن عمليات الانشقاق التي واجهها في البداية تقلصت بشكل واضح، فضلاً عن لجوء الجيش إلى استخدام الفرق التي كان يتردّد في زجها في المعارك خوفاً من انشقاقها، بعد أن باتت أكثر استعداداً لخوض القتال.
ويعزو الخبراء تغير المزاج العسكري للسنة في الجيش بشكل خاص إلى تطور دور الإسلاميين في قلب المعارضة المسلحة، والخوف من وصولهم إلى السلطة. وعملت صور عمليات الإعدام التي تعرّض لها الجنود والضباط من دون أي تمييز في انتمائهم الطائفي على حسم أمر المترددين في القتال.
ويقول مقربون إن عدم دخول «الفرقة الثالثة» ساحة القتال بعد، ليس خوفاً من أي انشقاق، إلا أن الفرقة تلقت تدريبات على حرب العصابات في الأشهر الأخيرة وتتمتع بتشكيلات قتالية عالية التسليح، وهي حالياً في موقع الاحتياط بانتظار معارك مقبلة.

ولم يقدم (ا ف ب، رويترز، ا ب) المبعوث الدولي والعربي إلى سوريا الأخضر الإبراهيمي، أمس، جديداً على ما كان أعلنه سابقا. وقال، في مؤتمر صحافي في نيويورك بعد تقديمه ملخصا لمجلس الأمن حول جهوده لحل الأزمة السورية، «تحداني البعض لتقديم خطة. اعتقد أن الجميع يعرف الآن عناصر الخطة، لكن لا يمكن تطبيقها إلا إذا اتحد هذا المجلس وكان جاهزا لتبني قرار سيكون الأساس لحل سياسي» في سوريا.
وقال، ردا على سؤال عن احتمال تغيير النظام السوري بهدف إنهاء النزاع، «من الواضح جداً أن الشعب السوري يريد التغيير، (يريد) تغييراً حقيقياً لا تغييراً مصطنعاً». وأضاف إن «سوريا الجديدة لن تشبه سوريا الحالية»، متحدثاً عن «تطور نحو سوريا جديدة»، مؤكداً أن «السوريين أنفسهم سيحددون ماهية النظام الذي يريدونه».
واعتبر أن «المكان الوحيد الذي يمكن أن يبدأ فيه عمل سياسي ناجح هو مجلس الأمن»، مضيفاً «طلبت من أعضاء مجلس الأمن أن يستأنفوا محادثاتهم وبحثهم عن اتفاق. وبيان جنيف يمكن أن يكون أساساً صالحاً لذلك، من أجل أن يكون هناك قرار جديد من مجلس الأمن يؤدي إلى الحل السلمي الذي نتمناه، والذي سوريا في أمس الحاجة إليه».
وأضاف «ما أعتقد أنه سيكون في هذا القرار هو عملية تمّ وصفها بشكل عام في جنيف، تبدأ بهيئة انتقالية حاكمة، كما أطلقوا عليها، ذات سلطات تنفيذية كاملة، وتنتهي بانتخابات، وأشياء كثيرة تحدث في ما بين ذلك. ولا شك في أن هناك حاجة ماسة جداً جداً لوقف لإطلاق النار يمكن أن يستمر». ولفت إلى أنه «من واقع تجربة الجامعة العربية وبعثة الأمم المتحدة للمراقبة في سوريا، والتجربة القصيرة لوقف إطلاق النار الذي دعا إليه، فإن أي وقف إطلاق النار لن يستمر ما لم تتم مراقبته بقوة. وهذا في اعتقادي يتطلب بعثة حفظ سلام».
وعن دور محتمل للرئيس السوري بشار الأسد في المرحلة الانتقالية حتى انتخابات العام 2014، قال الإبراهيمي إن «الحديث يجري عن الأسد كما لو كان هو المشكلة الوحيدة أو الحل الوحيد للأزمة السورية». وأضاف إن «الشعب السوري أهم بكثير جداً من هذا كله، وكلام جنيف يتحدث عن حكومة انتقالية كاملة الصلاحيات، ثم تنتهي إلى انتخابات. وإما برلمان، إذا كان نظاماً برلمانياً، أو رئيس جديد».
ونقلت مصادر مطلعة أن الابراهيمي رسم صورة قاتمة للأوضاع، حيث تشهد الازمة تدهوراً، مضيفة انه يعتبر ان الاولوية يجب أن تكون كيفية الحفاظ على مؤسسات الدولة لمنعها من الانهيار حتى لا نصل الى مرحلة شبيهة بالعراق.

@GUHFRAN

You really make me sick sometime, worse than Landis and the coward Shia in Damascus and Tehran, such as the comment you made above, warning the subhumans that what come after Assad is a bloodbath for Syria. Like these Mothers***fers are not making sure and working hard so that this is the outcome!!!!

What we need to do is plan ahead, not rely on coward Shia, when it comes to end (IF) that is a huge if, we need to direct the victor in Syria and use his talent and skill, bravery on a host of targets all over the Middle East. We need to spread this out beyond Syria, Bashar is in fact a hindering Shia power, working the Zionist plan, it is the ones that come after him , that will revenge for Syria. Assad is in fact like all Shia, just a hindering power.

You see, it only take one blast to take out a city state like Qatar and guess what, it will cost the attackers about $4.80 and couple empty cans of Pepsi, it is all in the manuals, on DVD and all over secure internet sites, hidden on the images you see in porn websites. Just what the f***k. wht are they thinking.

@Ali

If Maher is dead, then he is a martyr for the Alawites. I can agree with that statement. However, he is NOT martyr for the country. The Assads have ALWAYS fought for their family first, the Alawites second, and the country third, in that order of priority. This is why the regime is willing to burn down the country to protect themselves. And this is why they’re losing, because the country has turned against their family.

@Zoo

Look, would you rather live in Libya or Egypt right now? Or in Syria? Say what you want about Libya or Egypt, but both countries are doing better than Syria. And the reason Syria is doing so badly is because Syria is totalitarian dictatorship, and when the dictator decides to take his country to Hell, everyone has to follow.

The Syrian Civil War is a DIRECT RESULT of Assad’s actions. Any explanation that does not mention this central fact is dishonest.

The regime has nothing to offer for the future for Syria. No one knows how the future will turn out. But almost EVERYONE knows the regime must go.

Consider: Even Al Nusra is more popular in Syria than the regime. This amazing fact should tell you something about how doomed and unpopular the regime has become.

How are these “jihadist groups” operating in Syria unless they have the support of the population? The regime says they’re terrorists, but how can they be in Syria unless they have the support of the population? Do regime supporters still have critical thinking skills, or has 30 years of dictatorship turned their brains into mush?

MajedKhaldoun @90,

Anything the Prophet did is good with me.

You have a plan.

How can a transitional governing body have full executive powers if Bashar is still at the helm and his thug shabeeha lurking in the background waiting for orders to kill?  Why did Ibrahimi coward out from discussing the real sticky point?  As long as Batta is in the government, no one will have full executive power except the mafia that he represents.  This is not about hatred, blood, revenge, or getting even.  This isn’t even about justice being served.  This is the fundamental issue that faced the Syrian people from day one.  

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/middle_east/envoy-warns-that-syria-will-become-a-failed-state-unless-there-is-a-political-solution-to-war/2012/11/30/fbc93984-3b0d-11e2-9258-ac7c78d5c680_story.html

He said an eventual Security Council resolution must include “a large, robust peacekeeping force” to ensure a ceasefire is observed because the government and opposition do not trust each other.

It must also include the establishment of a transitional governing body with full executive powers at the beginning of the political process and elections at the end.

Too bad they’re not doing more!!!

Hariri should sell FSA a mininuclear bomb to be exploded in Al Qardaha soon. Another one in Al Malki quarter.

Take a tour in Aleppo and check the damage generated by Assad Forces.

MejedJhaldoun’s e-mail may have something real behind it.

Read this,

 
عندما سُئلت السيدة الفرنسية زوجة أحد الاقتصاديين السوريين بعد تخليها مع زوجها وأولادها الثلاثة عن منزلهم الفخم في شارع أبو رمانة في قلب العاصمة وانتقالهم الى منزلهم الثاني في منطقة الاشرفية في بيروت عن سبب هذه الخطوة التي كانت هذه العائلة رفضت القيام بها منذ عشرين شهراً من الحرب التدميرية القاسية التي يشنها نظام بشار الاسد على السوريين، أجابت: “لقد بدأت معركة تحرير دمشق”.

لم يكن التأكيد على “بدء هذه المعركة حكراً على تلك السيدة التي كانت مع زوجها من المؤيدين الاقوياء للاسد وعائلته”، لأنه كان “صديقاً للمسيحيين” في سورية حسب قولها، وإنما ورد خلال الايام القليلة الماضية على ألسنة العشرات من القادة الميدانيين في “الجيش السوري الحر” والقوى الثورية التي كشفت ل”السياسة”، أمس، عن أن الحشود العسكرية الثورية المقاتلة التي باتت تنتشر في مختلف مفاصل العاصمة واريافها وقرب مطاريها المدني والعسكري بعد احتلال المطار الثالث الاكثر اهمية للنظام، “فاق تعدادها العشرين ألف مقاتل من ضباط وجنود ومتطوعين وأنصار الثورة من الخارج”، فيما تتوقع القيادة العسكرية المشتركة في دمشق ان يرتفع هذا العدد مع نهاية الشهر الجاري الى ال35 ألفاً بانضمام عشرات الوحدات المسلحة من بعض المحافظات الجنوبية في درعا والجولان والحدود الاردنية والشرقية من دير الزور والقامشلي.

Congratulations to free Abu Kamal!

The war-mongering in this blog are furious that a peaceful solution could be found that will spare lives… No.. They want the blood of Bashar al Assad and the Alawi heretics. They want to win their destructive and monstrous “revolution” at any cost.

I hope that the West has still some conscience to stop these mad and sick Qataris and Sunnis Lebanese from encouraging the killing of Syrians to satisfy their pathetic ego.
After two years these morons have not been able to build a credible alternative to the regime. In Libya it took 3 months. It is clear that they are dumb, inefficient and dangerous. They will be stopped or the world got mad.

After a peaceful revolution in Tunisia, now the failed Moslem Brotherhood government is using the army to quell the uprising.

Tunisian leader fears that clashes could spread
By BOUAZZA BEN BOUAZZA | Associated Press – 1 hr 9 mins ago

http://news.yahoo.com/tunisian-leader-fears-clashes-could-spread-210231844.html

TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — The army moved into a southwestern Tunisian town, an official and witnesses said Friday, the fourth day of protests that have injured more than 300 people.

President Moncef Marzouki said on television that the North African country’s government has not “met the expectations of the people” and asked that a new one, smaller and specialized to deal with the unrest, be formed. The current government has about 80 members.

خرجت تظاهرات في بعض مناطق سوريا اليوم الجمعة تطالب بـ”تطهير الجيش الحر” و”الثورة”، في اول انتقادات بهذا الوضوح من متظاهرين للجيش الحر الذي يقاتل ضد النظام ويؤخذ عليه انتهاكات ضد المدنيين.
ووجه الناشطون اليوم الدعوة عبر صفحات “فيسبوك” للتظاهر ضد النظام تحت شعار “ريف دمشق: اصابع النصر فوق القصر”، في اشارة الى معارك ريف دمشق الضارية المتواصلة منذ اسابيع والتي ينظر اليها المعارضون على انها مدخل الى العاصمة، وبالتالي الى القصر الرئاسي حيث بشار الاسد.
وهتفت تظاهرة في حي الشعار في مدينة حلب ، بحسب ما ظهر في شريط فيديو نشر على موقع “يوتيوب بدنا الجيش الاسلامي، الجيش الحر حرامي” و”الجيش الحر يلا عالجبهة”، في اشارة واضحة الى وجوب التزام عناصر الجيش الحر بالقتال على الجبهة ضد الجيش النظامي، وليس القيام بانتهاكات ضد المدنيين كما تفيد بعض التقارير.
وهتفت تظاهرة اخرى “الشعب يريد اصلاح الجيش الحر”.
ويروي سكان من مدينة حلب، بحسب ما يفيد مراسل وكالة “فرانس برس”، ان “المقاتلين المعارضين الموجودين في المدينة غالبا ما يبتزون الناس، او يقومون بعمليات خطف مقابل فديات، او يفرضون خوات على اصحاب المؤسسات”.
وفي عندان في ريف حلب، حمل متظاهرون، بحسب شريط فيديو آخر، لافتة كتب عليها “سنزيل بصمات العار عن جبين الثورة”، بينما هتف المشاركون “الشعب يريد تطهير الثورة”.
وعلق المصور بصوته: “مظاهرة في عندان تطالب بتطهير الجيش الحر وقيادات الثورة، وباخراج الشبيحة الذين انخرطوا في قيادات الثورة”، بينما كان المتظاهرون يصرخون: “حر حر حراميه، اسقاط الحراميه”.
did thousands of Syrians die to replace Assad thugs with new thugs?

#109 Ghufran

The desintegration of the FSA is looming, increasingly infected by thugs, criminals, opportunists and islamists.

Months ago I warned that if the FSA does not prevent and fight the infiltration of these viruses in their ranks, it’ll be contaminated. Now it is seriously contaminated, beyond repair.

Syria has become a magnet for islamists adventurers and criminals and they know that they are welcomed by the FSA to help the war against the “heretics” ruling this country.

The FSA has totally lost its credibility among Syrians and the international community. Disunited, leaderless, polluted, the FSA’s demise, like the SNC that fell into the same trap, is unraveling under our eyes.
After a period of hope that the FSA would discipline itself and be respected to the point that the Syrian army would massively defect and the Syrian would rally to them, the international community is again focusing on a political settlement.
A new season is starting…

Dear Ali,
You claim you are Alawi, yet you talk like a Christian, so what is it?
Regarding your uncertainty about the mystery panic state in the presidential palace, let me assure you that it is the latter, since many high ranking Alawi officers have been in contact with the CIA plotting to overthrow Bashar from within. This is old news.
I am surprised at your sectarian tone. It is sad to see how people can completely delude themselves into believing fairy tails. Wake up and smell the gun powder. The FSA is advancing rapidly. This regime’s days are numbered.
After watching the video yesterday from Halab, I want more than ever to see the bastard-in-chief Bashar dragged in the streets of Damascus for all of us to watch. At the same time, I want no innocent Alawi or otherwise to be harmed.

The last thing محمد سعيد الصحاف told us before he went into oblivion was that the Americans were committing suicide by the thousands around Baghdad.

محمد سعيد الصحاف now reappeared in a Goofy Zoo to tell us that the FSA is doing the same around Damascus.

Now you can be sure the Israeli mercenaries took a heavy beating this week, just read the last dozen cheap disinformation comments from the paid Alciada posters here, they are all in sync on new campaign. Strange they never discuss the slaughtering of something like 3000 mercenaries in one town alone few days ago. Are you in panic now? Don’t you have 30k more that wanted to be slaughtered? Send them over. Next…

افاد مراسل “السفير” في طرابلس أن مجموعة تضم 30 شابا اسلاميا خرجت من الشمال باتجاه الأراضي السورية للقتال الى جانب المعارضة السورية المسلحة، قبل أن تتعرض لكمين من قبل القوات السورية النظامية في أحد منازل بلدة تل كلخ الحدودية، ما أدى الى مقتل 22 شابا، بينهم 21 لبنانيا بالاضافة الى شاب فلسطيني
There is an unlimited supply of Islamists who may not listen to any future Syrian governmen but will follow the fatwas of their sheikhs who can only prosper when there is conflict and violence.

“JEWS HAVE BOUGHT OUR COUNTRY!” is the chief rallying cry of the Nationalist “Jobbik” Party of Hungary.

As Hungary’s third-largest party holding 44 of 386 seats in parliament, Jobbik—Movement for a Better Hungary—describes itself as a “patriotic Christian party whose purpose is the protection of Hungarian values and interests.”

Closely allied with Jobbik is the “Magyar Garda” or Hungarian Guard, a growing militia and paramilitary group dedicated to “rescuing” and “arming” Hungarians in order to “challenge” the state’s monopoly of force.

With Christian rhetoric such as, “Jews have desecrated our national symbols,”

“cheap disinformation from paid fhe Alciada posters here”

Geez, if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were in lockstep with Spammie Annie. But you’re not that deep, are you, Nattie?

And by the way, it’s “al Qaeda” not “Alciada.” If you’re going to diss somebody, at least get the spelling right.

Just so you know, I’m not a paid al Qaeda poster. But Zoo, Citizen, Vatty, Tara and Aldendeshe are. I saw them whispering around a table in a bar in the Bab Touma district and when they saw me coming, they clammed up. They were OBVIOUSLY plotting something sinister. Also, they were counting money. It must have been the money from their al Qaeda paymaster.

I hope this helps you in your laudable effort to save Syria from the International Islamist/Jew Conspiracy…

99. Sandro Loewe said “Hariri should sell FSA a mininuclear bomb to be exploded in Al Qardaha soon. Another one in Al Malki quarter. Take a tour in Aleppo and check the damage generated by Assad Forces.”

Congratulations, you caught up with Chemical Ali and the Syrian Nazi Party member. Absolutely disgusting. The horrific suffering of the people of Aleppo can never justify such sick calls for mass murder, and it is this kind of hatred and disregard for human life that displeases God, delays victory and prolongs suffering.

The Sunni logic is this:

Assad bombed our cities and killed our children when we protested. We suffered. Fine. Therefore, we’re going to make DAMN sure that Assad and his regime supporters suffer too.

Blood for blood.
Destruction for destruction.
Death for death.

You regime supporters started it. But we will end it.

So to all you regime supporters: SHUT IT. It’s too late to complain about the destruction. You should have thought about this BEFORE you started the war.

The regime did not show pity when it was strong. Why should its enemies show pity to it now that it’s weak?

99. Sandro Loewe said: “Hariri should sell FSA a mininuclear bomb to be exploded in Al Qardaha soon. Another one in Al Malki quarter. Take a tour in Aleppo and check the damage generated by Assad Forces.”

119. MARIGOLDRAN said: “The Sunni logic is this: … Blood for blood.
Destruction for destruction. Death for death.”

And disbelief for disbelief. That’s not Sunni logic, one cannot repay injustice with injustice in Islam. One cannot retaliate with disregard for the Sacred Law.

To you both, it is this kind of hatred and disregard for human life that displeases and angers God, delays victory against the tyranny and prolongs the peoples’ suffering.

La hawla wa la quwata illa billah

The regime’s supporters must be taught a lesson that they never forget. THAT would be justice.

The severity of that lesson will depend on interpretation. There are many members of the FSA who believe in a very severe interpretation.

Personally? My personal opinion? I say it’s time to end the war after Assad and his family is dead or exiled. I agree with you. Eternal vengeance has no end. But many will not agree with me.

I hope this helps you in your laudable effort to save Syria from the International Islamist/Jew Conspiracy…

No, just International Jewish one, Islamist not really in this, they are waiting the finish line, the one you see being slaughtered by the 1000’s by Assad forces are the drugged fake ones trained by Alciada, some have real names like Ehud Cohen, but with Qatari or Lebanese id stating Mohammad Abdul Al Althani Aldajjal. 17 of these faked ideed ones were EXTERMINATED in Tel Kalakh last night.

Here is Henry Ford, now you would not call this guy lunatic conspiracy freak would you? Oh Hell you would, they even called MIT doctorates in physics and chemistries who stated the tower were blown up as such.

“drugged fake ones trained by Alciada”

So you admit to being a paid al Qaeda poster, eh? Well well well.

It is a testimony about the destructive and exclusionary nature of this rebellion when moderate and educated Syrians ,who oppose the regime and want a modern political system in Syria , have little or no influence over the street and the opposition today. The rebels may need, due to their number, prevail in most of Syria but they will NOT win the support of millions of Syrians who refuse to be ruled by thugs in beards as much as they resented being ruled by thugs with Baathist masks. None of you presented a vision for the future that can stand the challenges of the 21st century, most of what I hear is calls for revenge and orgasmic cheers when the ” enemy” drinks from the fatal wine Syria abundantly produces today, I will wait and see how your heros will fix the country when much of what is left is destroyed buildings and shattered lives, saying that the ” regime started it” is not good enough,you are kidding nobody but yourselves.

Syria’s got a lot of problems. No one can argue against that. But none of these problems can be fixed until the regime is finished.

The longer the regime and its supporters continue to fight, the worse it will be for them and for everyone else. The West and the FSA will not negotiate until Assad and his family is gone, along with most of his friends and cronies.

This is something that regime supporters, Russia, and Iran do not realize. The healing cannot even begin until most of the regime is finished.

And any complaints about the destruction the FSA is doing to the country is pure horse-manure. The regime is doing most of the destruction, so put the blame where it belongs.

أكدت هيئة التنسيق السورية المعارضة  بعد لقاء وفد منها وزير الخارجية الروسية سيرغي لافروف في موسكو انها  “تطابق موقفها مع روسيا حول ضرورة الاسراع في التوصل لحل سياسي في سوريا يقوم على أساس ورقة جنيف ومبادرة الموفد الدولي الاخضر الإبراهيمي”.
وأوضح الوفد أن “العنف الدائر في سوريا سوف يقود الى إضعاف الدولة وتحويلها الى دولة فاشلة، وهذا أمر يصب في مصلحة الكيان الاسرائيلي”.
كما شدد على ضرورة العمل المشترك لوقف ضخ السلاح عبر الحدود، مؤكداً على  “رفض كل أشكال التدخل الأجنبي”.
وأعلن حسن عبد العظيم المنسق العام لهيئة التنسيق الوطنية السورية أن “الهيئة تصر على توقف إراقة الدماء،  موضحاً “إن وفد الهيئة سيطرح وجهة نظره فيما يتعلق بسبل إيقاف العنف والاقتتال في سورية، وما يجب أن يتخذه اللاعبون الخارجيون من خطوات بهدف وقف العنف”.
واضاف   “ان المعارضة معنية بنجاح مهمة المندوب الأممي والعربي الأخضر الابراهيمي”
لافتاً   انه “يجب على اللاعبين الخارجيين تسوية التناقضات بينهم والبدء في تنفيذ بيان جنيف، وذلك بهدف إيقاف العمليات المسلحة في سوريا”. (ن.ع)

Where were you when the regime was about to “finish” the rebellion and fighting tooth and nail against any intervention from the evil West? Now you want intervention? You must be desperate. Why don’t you ask for the Russian Federation to send troops to Syria? Or Iran Guards and HA fighters?

@Ghurfan

Almost everyone agrees a political solution must be found. Your quote is typical diplomatic-speak. No where is there talk of Assad in that communique, which is why that communique is worthless.

Furthermore, the opposition outside of the country is much more willing to negotiate than the opposition INSIDE the country.

Any diplomatic note on Syria that does not mention the issue of Assad is worthless. Ignore them. Not worth the paper it’s printed on.

It was difficult to get information from Syria today but it looks more likely than not that the regime is on the offense in Ghoutah and around Damascus,it is also almost certain that the government turned off those routers that allow Internet in Syria, many are now fearful that this was done in preparation for a large scale violent campaign after the government lost many positions in the north and the east. I find it absolutely amazing that many of you are still denying the fact that most of Syria’s friends and enemies alike want this war to continue, sending jihadists with weapons on one hand and allowing this regime to bomb Syrian cities on the other hand is nothing but a criminal behavior, Syrian lives are not worth much nowadays.

The rebels do not have to win in Damascus this time. They just have to keep the regime occupied. Most of Assad’s best troops are located there, which means the rebels can make gains elsewhere.

Even if the regime drives the rebels back this time, which is likely, what are they going to do next? The regime could not crush the rebellion in March, and now that it’s weaker and the rebels many times stronger, how do they intend to win now?

No one wants a war like this to continue. But EVERYONE wants to win, and thinks they can do it. The regime hopes to hold on and do enough damage to the country to force the rebels to negotiate. But the rebels will not negotiate with this evil regime, and rightfully so.

In the end, the regime’s strategy is a losing one. They still don’t understand: NO ONE in the opposition will even begin to negotiate until Assad and his family is gone. The regime and its Alawite supporters are a fighting a losing war against a determined and more numerous enemy.

They can postpone the inevitable but they cannot turn the tide. And the longer it goes on, the worse it will be for them.

#40 Marigoldran

The rebels are winning in areas close to the borders as they count on the support, supplies, hospitals and shelters of their islamist allies in Turkey, Jordan, Iraq and Lebanon.
Once they move away from the border areas, they are taking one beating after the other and they end up by withdrawing “tactically”

On the ‘liberated’ areas emptied from civilians, they are at the mercy of the air bombings, therefore they don’t have any real control of these areas as they can’t protect the population and any way most have left to bordering countries.

The rebel militias are clearly outnumbered and disorganized, they stand no chance to move deeper inside Syria, as in addition, the population inside Syria does not help them and seem to reject their destructive presence.
They can only be nuisance…

Call that winning, if you want.

The FSA and the CNSROF as they stands today have zero chances to be accepted by the majority of the Syrians, should an election or a referendum be held.
After each day that passes, less and less reasonable Syrians would dare to put the fate of their country in such polluted and incompetent hands.

Syria opposition government nears, Brotherhood flexes muscle
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis

CAIRO | Thu Nov 29, 2012 9:34pm GMT
http://uk.reuters.com/article/2012/11/29/uk-syria-crisis-opposition-idUKBRE8AS11W20121129

(Reuters) – The Syrian opposition made progress on Thursday toward forming a transitional government at the first meeting of their new coalition in Cairo and the Muslim Brotherhood emerged as an overwhelmingly powerful kingmaker, delegates said.

In a sign of its strength within the leadership of the opposition, the Brotherhood and its allies pushed for the adoption of an internal constitution that allows choosing the prime minister and the cabinet with a simple majority, rather than a two-thirds majority.

Since the coalition was set up in Qatar earlier this month with Gulf and Western support, the Brotherhood has swiftly assembled a de facto majority bloc, according to insiders keeping tabs of changes in the membership of the coalition.

The meeting in a luxury Cairo hotel, now in its second day, was held behind closed doors.

“It looks like the internal constitution will be pushed through without any real discussion. The Brotherhood has Qatar behind it and they are getting what they want,” one delegate said on condition of anonymity.

The formation of a transitional government could encourage greater Western backing for the 20-month revolt against four decades of autocratic rule by Assad and his later father, President Hafez al-Assad.

The bloody repression of an armed Islamist uprising against the elder Assad’s rule in the 1980s killed many thousands of Brotherhood followers, as well as leftists, and forced many Syrians to leave the country.

Membership of the Brotherhood became punishable by death and the movement was decimated, to the point that the Brotherhood announced in 2009 that it was ‘suspending’ opposition to Assad.

The revolt in March last year revived the Brotherhood’s fortunes and opened more sources of financing for the organisation from exiled conservative Syrians.

But independent delegates at the Cairo meeting said the process by which a transitional government is being pushed through does not bode well for a democratic future for Syria.

“The West is sending a signal that it is ready to accept the Brotherhood as the only guarantee of stability other than Assad. It has not learnt from what happened in Egypt. I am afraid Syria will become like Iran, rather than a democracy,” said one of them, speaking on condition of anonymity.
…
Conspicuously absent from the Cairo discussions was Sheikh Moaz al-Khatib, the coalition’s president, a popular Damascene preacher who is increasingly seen as a religious figurehead who is respected inside Syria and an interlocutor with outside powers, rather than a hands-on leader.

Aware they could quickly lose credibility with rebels and opposition activists inside Syria, the 60 delegates postponed possibly divisive discussions on the final membership of the coalition and began talks on an internal constitution as a first step toward forming a transitional government.

Liaison between the coalition and rebels has been assigned to former Prime Minister Riad Hijab, the highest ranking official to defect since the revolt, coalition sources said.

Countries that abstain from voting for Palestine in the UN:

Albanie, Andorre, Australie, Bahamas, Barbade, Bosnie, Bulgarie, Cameroun, Colombie, Croatie, République démocratique du Congo, Estonie, Fidji, Allemagne, Guatemala, Haïti, Hongrie, Lettonie, Lithuanie, Malawi, Monaco, Mongolie, Monténégro, Pays-Bas, Papouasie Nouvelle Guinée, Paraguay, Pologne, Corée du Sud, Moldavie, Roumanie, Rwanda, Samoa, Saint Marin, Singapour, Slovaquie, Slovénie, Macédoine, Togo, Tonga, Royaume-Uni, Vanuatu.

Anyone has the list about the Golan restitution request voted at the UN?

Was it voted at the UN general assembly? Western media are very discreet about it.

UN RENEWS DEMAND THAT ISRAEL COMPLY WITH UNSC RES. 497 ON GOLAN

UN Renews Demand that Israel Rescind Its Decision to Annex Occupied Golan, Comply with UNSC Resolution 497
Nov 16, 2012

Following the passing of the resolution, Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN Bashar al-Jafari offered, in a statement, thanks to the delegations which voted in favor of the resolution, calling on the countries which abstained from voting to reconsider their stance before the resolution is to be adopted by the UN General Assembly.

“161 countries voted in favor of the draft resolution. 35 countries contributed in presenting it which confirms the big international support to the issue of Syria’s full restoration of the occupied Syria Golan to the June 4, 1967 line.”
