Civil war in Syria and Israeli interference: Save Syrians from Zionist fascism!

Civil war in Syria and Israeli interference: Save Syrians from Zionist fascism! 

- By DR. ABDUL RUFF

Syrian ruler Al-Assad is still enjoying the massacres of Muslims in the country both by the opposition forces and state military forces. .

Syria crisis topped the debate of the OIC summit in Egypt. A communiqué drafted by OIC foreign ministers in Cairo blames Assad's government for most of the slaughter and urges it to open talks on a political transition.  The draft text urged the Syrian opposition to speed up the creation of a transitional government, like the one in occupied Libya, "to be ready to assume responsibility in full until the completion of the desired political change process". The communiqué urged President Assad and the Syrian regime to show wisdom and call for serious dialogue to take place between the national coalition of the Syrian revolution, opposition forces, and representatives of the Syrian government committed to political transformation in Syria and end oppression.

The UN Security Council remains blocked as Western states urge for a "political solution," which implies the unilateral surrender of the Assad government, while Russia still urges for "national dialogue." However, the situation may be shifting on the ground. Finding a viable political solution in Syria is all the more urgent as the region becomes increasingly destabilized. Israel's attack on Syria shows the dangerous and unpredictable consequences of continued fighting and a deadlock political situation. The leader of the Syrian National Coalition - which long called for Bashar Al-Assad's removal as a precondition for negotiations - now advocates for talks with the president, along with the support of the UN/Arab League mediator who is working towards a ceasefire. 

All the anti-Islamic but so-called “Friends of Syria” have been on record that they were doing all they could to enforce a “buffer zone” inside Syria; they tried to create it through Turkey in northern Syria, through Jordan in the south, through Lebanon in the west and on the borders with Iraq in the east, but they failed to make it materialize. They tried to enforce it by a resolution from the UN Security Council, but their efforts were aborted three times by a dual Russian – Chinese veto. They tried, unsuccessfully so far, to enforce it outside the jurisdiction of the United Nations by arming an internal rebellion, publicly on the payroll of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, logistically supported by Turkey and the U.S., British, French and German intelligence services and spearheaded mainly by the al-Qaeda – linked Al-Nusra Front, a rebellion focusing on the peripheral areas sharing borders with Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon, after the failure of an early attempt to make the western Syrian port city of Latakia on the Mediterranean play the role the city of Benghazi played in the Libyan “change of regime.”

Undoubtedly, the developments win Libya influenced the opposition in Syria to seek for regime change.  The oppositionists who favour negotiations won out in Geneva, calling for talks on a new constitution and a transitional government.  Since military victory is a delusion, it argued, only an imposition of a puppet regime is a must and thus Syrian National Coalition depends on foreign support alone.  West finds it difficult to kill Assad and control the resources and state by a puppet regime quickly enough. .

Two years on since the U.S., EU, Turkish and Qatari adoption of a “regime change” in Syria by force, on the lines of the “Libyan scenario,” the first military option has failed to materialize. With the legitimate Syrian government gaining the upper hand militarily on the ground, the inability of the rebels is visible to “liberate” even one city, town or enough area in the countryside to be declared a “buffer zone” or to host the self-proclaimed leadership of opposition in exile.

On the summit sidelines, the leaders of Egypt, Turkey and Iran gathered for talks on the Syria crisis. The Iranian foreign minister came out of the meeting expressing optimism about the prospects for a resolution. 

Underlining the deep regional divisions over the Syria conflict, Saudi Arabia, a key supporter of the Syrian rebels and a member of an "Islamic Quartet" formed by Mursi last August to try to broker a solution, did not attend the Syria crisis meeting in Cairo, diplomats said. Saudi Crown Prince Salman told the summit the Syrian regime was "committing ugly crimes" against its people. He said the U.N. Security Council, which has so far been paralyzed by Russian and Chinese opposition to sanctions, should act to "finalize the transition of power".

However, Syria, suspended from the OIC last August against Al-Assad’s refusal to quit, was not present at the Islamic summit after being. The Syrian opposition, not invited by Egypt, but available at the venue said it had not received an invitation and would not be attending.  The head of the Syrian opposition, in Cairo but not at the summit said that Iran was making the decisions in Damascus, and gave the Syrian government until Sunday to release women detainees or else his offer of talks would lapse. 

State institutions are collapsing in Syria, more and more Syrians are dying,, Islamist groups are reportedly gaining ground, and there is no breakthrough in sight.  Heavy fighting erupted in Damascus as rebels launched an offensive against Assad's forces, breaking a lull in the conflict, opposition activists said.  Opposition Syrian National Coalition leader Moaz Alkhatib said Iran was the real power in Damascus. Alkhatib had offered to meet Assad's ceremonial deputy, Farouq al-Shara, for peace talks if the authorities released thousands of prisoners. But in his interview, he said his proposal for talks with Shara had been rejected. He demanded the release of all women detainees, or else his initiative "would have been broken".

Theirs is however the voice of Syria's intelligentsia, who oppose foreign military intervention and favour a ceasefire and a negotiated solution. 

Israel, still being backed by USA, has made use of the turmoil in Syria to enact a primitive terror attack on that Muslim nation.  The motives behind Israel's attack on Syria are still obscure.  The attack was also a reminder that Syria's turmoil is having dangerously unpredictable consequences across the region. Such intervention would only promise more of the same, prolonging the military conflict, shedding more of Syrian blood, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis, multiplying the numbers of those displaced inside the country and the Syrian refugees abroad, postponing an inevitable political solution, and significantly rallying more Syrians in support of the ruling regime in defending their country against the Israeli occupier of their Syrian Golan heights, thus isolating the rebels by depriving them from whatever support their terrorist tactics have left them.

Now, Israel has stepped in the conflict, publicly for the first time, to try its hands to enforce a “buffer zone” of its own in an attempt to succeed where all the “Friends of Syria” have failed.

 Israel is considering creating a buffer zone reaching up to ten miles inside Syria, modelled on a similar zone it created in southern Lebanon in 1985. Israel in fact have been paving the way materially on the ground for an Israeli – created buffer zone. Earlier, in a much less publicized development, Israel allowed the UN-monitored buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli – occupied Syrian Golan Heights to be overtaken by the “Islamist” Syrian rebels. The Syrian army doesn’t have any interest in provoking Israel,” because “Syria has enough problems.” However it would be anybody’s guess to know for how long Syria could tolerate turning the UN monitored demilitarized buffer zone, with Israeli closed eyes, into a terrorist safe haven and into a corridor of supply linking the rebels in Lebanon to their “brethren” in southern Syria.

More importantly however, such an Israeli intervention risks a regional outburst if not contained by the world community or if it succeeds in inviting a reciprocal Syrian retaliation. Both Syrians and Israelis were on record in the aftermath of the Israeli raid that the bilateral “rules of engagement” have already changed.

Like USA, Israel also wants regime change in Mideast, now in Syria and is preparing for “dramatic changes” in Syria. Israel sued the bogus claim of chemical weapons in Syria to justify the their unwarranted raid . On last December 8 UN Chief Ban Ki-moon said there were “no confirmed reports” Damascus was preparing to use them. More likely Israel is either trying to escalate militarily to embroil an unwilling United States in the Syrian conflict, in a too late attempt to pre-empt a political solution, out of a belief that the fall of the Al – Assad regime will serve Israel’s strategy. But Both USA and Russia seem to have told Israeli military establishment that escalating militarily at a time of political de-escalation of the military solution in Syria will not secure a seat for Israel in any forum. Israeli terrorism can only help in escalating humanitarian crisis and the rising death toll in Syria. This is the message that the Israeli regime has for reference. The Israeli raid sends a message that the military option could yet be pursued. No surprise then that the frustrated Syrian rebels are losing ground, momentum and morale.

Maybe Assad thinks it is better to die than lose power by surrendering to the West backed opposition bully. Neither Assad is ready for polls or to nominate a reliable replacement. Like all other Muslims rulers he also perhaps thinks he is a permanent ruler like Saudi king and none can or should remove him power. 

The option of a political solution is left as the only way forward and as the only way out of the bloodshed and the snowballing humanitarian crisis.

No ruler can claim legitimacy for power without legal endorsement of the people. Assad regime change issue is larger and deeper than removing one Assad from power. But fascist Israel, seeking to regain US support,  with its wide open, deadly poisonous jaws to swallow Muslims in the Mideast should let the Arab and other Muslim rulers behave.

Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by CIA  & other anti-Islamic agencies.Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces.Regimes often resort to  state terrorism. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism" Fake democracies have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using all sorts of criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they in disguise are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims. Humanity has a right to know the truth.  Muslim blood is cheap...
