It is not difficult to understand the power-game being
played in Syria and no decent human being should stand on the sideline in a conflict
that will shape the future of our humanity.
The global intifada (uprising) is spreading and it is rejecting war and
hegemony and now even President Obama is reeling under pressure. It is an earthquake that is shaking the very foundation
of post-WWII world order (what used to be referred to mistakenly as “the
American century” when it was really the Zionist century). The British, French and American public long
exposed to Zionist propaganda have joined the revolution. Politicians started to panic especially
after the British parliament voted against war. This was the first major and
stunning defeat to the US/Israel hegemony of British politics since WWII.
US President Obama was stuck after the British vote and the
clear solid position of Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Russia, China and even overwhelming
public opposion in the US despite the attempt to whip frenzy by Israel media stooges
like Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Obama was also stunned by what his own
intelligence services told him about potential repercussions of a military strike
on Syria especially without UN mandate and without US public support. These repercussions included presence of
strong defensive and offensive capabilities in Syria. There was intelligence
leaks about downed “test” incursion. But repercussions discussed include
strengthening rather than weakening Iran (after all, this is what happened after
Iraq!). President Obama spent countless
hours talking with his Zionist and non-Zionist advisers and key government
officials (there are no anti-Zionists in his group). Faced with no good option
in trying to maintain Israel/US hegemony, Obama decided not to decide and shift
the debate to Congress to buy time. Now it is up to the American people who
overwhelmingly reject war on Syria to stand up and pressure the
Israeli-occupied US congress to do what is good for US citizens not what they
perceive to be good for Zionism.
The Russian president spoke of a number of key points that
he called “common sense” while Obama just lied.
Russia and the US had agreed to the parameters of a political conference
in which all sides were invited. Russia talked the Syrian government into attending
this Geneva conference (even though most Syrians opposed a dialogue with
Western backed thugs and Western backed mercenaries). Under Israeli pressure,
the US administration started to rethink their agreement and their stooges
announced they cannot join discussion with their opponents unless their
opponents are defeated and surrender! Syrian
government forces then gained momentum against the Western and Israeli backed extremist
rebels and cornered them in very few pockets.
Syria was opening up and international inspectors were coming. Putin
rightly points out that under such conditions: who has the benefit of using
chemical weapons: the Syrian government or the rebels trying to provide excuses
for Western defeat of a government they could not defeat themselves? It is
common sense. Syria, Russia and China and all humanity ask logically: if the US
has proof that the Syrian government used chemical weapons to attack its own
people (including its own soldiers), then give us the proof. They rightly ask
why the mandate of UN inspectors was limited
to only find out if they were used but not to explore who might have used them.
After the lies Israeli and US intelligence concocted to go the war on Iraq,
they now seem rather reluctant to manufacture evidence again.
Obama lied about many other things and perhaps the only part
of his speech that touched on reality is when he admitted that he is part of a
system and that he cannot make a decision by himself. The military-industrial complex is now too entrenched
in US politics for any president to challenge it. In fact, no one would be allowed to become
president if they were to have even a slight chance of potential to challenge
it. So Obama says: I am with the machine
that was in place before I came to power and will always be with the machine. By this he showed that his campaign retorhic
about “change” was just what American call “bull-shit”. That is why Obama is stuck. When President Obama paid tribute to Martin
Luther King Jr just a week ago, he was being hypocritical. King had famously
said that the US is the greatest purveyor of violence on earth. The US public can and must push Obama and
Congress to change just like they pushed previous politicians to get civil
rights, women’s right to vote, ending the war on Vietnam, ending US support for
Apartheid South Africa and more.
The fact remains that the most destabilizing country in the Middle
East is the one that receives unconditional billions of US taxpayer money. It
is the state that caused millions of refugees and that introduced weapons of
mass destruction including nuclear weapons to the Middle East. It is the state that used white phosphorous
and depleted uranium on civilian populations.
It is the state that started five wars and that lobbied successfully to
ge the US to go to wars in places like Iraq and Afghanistan that caused
millions of lives lost and trillions of US taxpayer money spent. It is the
state that fits all the criteria discussed in the International convention against
the crimes of apartheid and racial discrimination.
The fact is that this latest Israel-inspired conflict is not
about form of government in Syria. The US/Israel backed dictators in a dozen
Arab countries are far, far worse than Bashar Assad of Syria. The fact remains that
this is a clear attempt by the US through ist secretary of state under influence
from the Zionist lobby and with the support of puppet rulers in the Arab world to
liquidate the Palestinian cause. The
parameters of this are clear: liquidating Palestinian rights like the right of
refugees to return to their homes and lands, limited Palestinian autonomy that
Palestinian puppets can call a state in parts of the occupied West Bank in
confederation with Jordan. This will
ensure the “Jewishness” of the apartheid state of Israel. Gaza would be
relegated to Egyptian administration or continuing to manage it as one Israeli
official said “by putting Gazan’s on a diet”.
To get this program through, resistance must be made to look futile. Israel set-up a high-level ministerial committee to fight
boycotts, divestment, and sanctions. Israel
told the US that the Hizballah-Syria-Iran axis must be destroyed. Potentially
developing Arab countries will be broken up into sectarian and other conflicts
(divide and conquer) beginning with Iraq.
They thought Syria is the next weak link that can be removed in the same
way that Libya was disposed of. They underestimated the level of rejection to their
demonic schemes of divide and conquer.
What happened actually is the opposite. A strengthening
block evolved starting in Iran, Iraq and Palestine and spreading globally. The counter-revolutionary efforts are failing
and in some cases getting the opposite effect of unifying and strengthening
resistance. The attempts by some to
ignite sectarian strife in Lebanon failed miserably. The positions of China, Russia, Venezuela and
other governments came to reflect the international consensus of resisting
US/Israeli hegemony. No human being and
no government can claim neutrality. Neutrality
is rather meaningless when there is such an evel attempt to dominate the world
for the benefit of just a few people at the expense of millions. The vast
majority of people in all countries (Palestine, USA, Britain, France, Russia,
China etc) stand on one side of this against the Zionist attempts to drag the
world into yet one more destructive conflict.
Clearly a win here is a win for Palestine and a win for all people of the
world.
Before we talk about democracy in Syria, we must respect the
fact that the vast majority of people on earth insist that Western governments
respect their own citizens’ will instead of trying to smother them or shape
them with propaganda or bypass them to serve the Israel lobby. Before we talk about democracy in Syria, we
must end apartheid in Israel, and end the repressive regimes supported by the
US especially those in the oil producing Arab countries. Perhaps this is the reason gulf states are pouring
billions to fund murderers in the so called “Syrian rebels” (most of them turn
out to be mercenaries). It is the same
reason that Netanyahu and Obama are both very nervous. When the US/Israel program of liquidating the
Palestinian cause and destroying Syria fails (and it will), all bets are off.
People stand up to tyranny and stand up
for human rights and that is why governments (US, Israeli, Saudi Arabia, Turkey
etc) are starting to panic. They do
have good reason to worry because people power is coming and each of us must be
part of it. We ask you to join the
global intifada which will liberate
oppressors and oppressed alike and create a better world for all.
