Look South: Hollande’s Terror Blunder Is Tunisia, Not Syria

July 16, 2016 Staff , www.telesurtv.net Educate! France, Syria, Tunisia

By Staff of Tele Sur - After the Paris attacks of Nov. 13, French President Francois Hollande didn’t flinch before looking east to Syria. Terrorism, he said, must be demolished there. All eyes then followed his gaze: to French history in Syria, French intervention in Syria, French interests in Syria. In highlighting the east, though, Hollande is distracting spectators from its more relevant history, intervention and interests south: in Tunisia.

US Bombing Syrian Troops Would Be Illegal

June 27, 2016 Marjorie Cohn, www.consortiumnews.com Educate! Bombing, Syria, US military

By Marjorie Cohn for Consortium News - In an internal “dissent channel cable,” 51 State Department officers called for “targeted military strikes” against the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, a proposal that President Barack Obama has thus far resisted. However, were he to accept the cable’s advice, he would risk a dangerous – possibly catastrophic – confrontation with Russia. And, such a use of military force in Syria would violate U.S. and international law. While the cable decries “the Russian and Iranian governments’ cynical and destabilizing deployment of significant military power to bolster the Assad regime,” the cable calls for the United States to protect and empower “the moderate Syrian opposition,” seeking to overthrow the Syrian government.

The State Department’s Collective Madness

June 20, 2016 Robert Parry, www.consortiumnews.com Educate! State Department, Syria

By Robert Parry for Consortium News - Some 51 State Department “diplomats” signed a memo distributed through the official “dissent channel,” seeking military strikes against the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad whose forces have been leading the pushback against Islamist extremists who are seeking control of this important Mideast nation. The fact that such a large contingent of State Department officials would openly advocate for an expanded aggressive war in line with the neoconservative agenda, which put Syria on a hit list some two decades ago, reveals how crazy the State Department has become.

How The Syrian Revolution Has Transformed Me

May 21, 2016 Budour Hassan, www.budourhassan.wordpress.com Resist! Revolution, Syria

By Budour Hassan for Random Shelling - The world revolves around Palestine, or so I thought until 2011. The Palestinian cause, I argued, was the litmus test for anyone’s commitment to freedom and justice. Palestine was the one and only compass that must guide any Arab revolution. Whether a regime is good or bad should be judged, first and foremost, based on its stance from the Palestinian cause. Every event should somehow be viewed through a Palestinian lens. The Arab people have failed us, and we inspired the entire world with our resistance.

Aleppo Doctor On Western Media Bias, Censorship And Lies

May 8, 2016 Silvia Cattori, www.informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Media, Syria, Terrorism, Wars and Militarism

By Silvia Cattori for information Clearinghouse. Dr Nabil Antaki could have abandoned Aleppo to ensure his own safety. Instead he decided to remain and to serve the besieged people of his City, working with various local charities. Above all, he wanted to bear witness to the destruction caused by Western support for the foreign armed groups who have been systematically destroying Syria and terrorising its people for the last 5 years. Yesterday Silvia Cattori recorded this report from Dr Antaki on the recent amplification of propaganda surrounding events in Aleppo. It has been translated from the French by Vanessa Beeley. “With regards to recent events in Aleppo, I state very clearly that the mainstream media are lying by omission. Since the beginning of the war in Aleppo that began 4 years ago, they have consistently failed to report all the facts.

From Peace in Syria. A second conference on the future constitution of Syria was held in Vienna, Austria from April 27 to 29, 2016. Since approx. three years the promoters of the international peace initiative www.peaceinsyria.org/ have mobilized a great number of peace activists and outstanding personalities of political and cultural life in Europe, Asia and Latin America – all of them deeply convinced that a military solution of the Syrian conflict is not possible and the bloodshed has to be stopped. Gathering around the need for a POLITICAL DIALOG the promoters of this initiative went on different occasions to Damascus, Beirut, Istanbul, Qamishli and Aleppo in order to contact the main political actors from each side

US-NATO’s Failed Attempt To Deny The Will Of Syrian People

April 17, 2016 Vanessa Beeley, www.global research.ca Educate! Democracy, Elections, Syria

By Vanessa Beeley for Global Research. Yesterday Parliamentary elections were held in Syria. 7000 polling booths were opened across the country. 11, 341 candidates were proposed from across Syria with 250 to be elected to Parliament, including a number of female candidates. So contrary to spurious claims from western governments and media, efforts were made to open the voting to all Syrian civilians including those who have fled terrorists held areas. We must also bear in mind that over 90% of IDPs [Internally displaced persons] have fled to Government controlled areas, thus further discrediting claims that these elections are non representative.

Lebanon Being Forced To Collapse

April 10, 2016 Andre Vltchek, www.dissidentvoice.org Educate! ISIS, Lebanon, Syria, Wars and Militarism

By Andre Vltchek for Dissident Voice. Lebanon cannot stand on its feet, anymore. It is overwhelmed, frightened and broke. It stands on the frontline, facing the ISIS in the east and north, a hostile Israel in the south and the deep blue sea to the west. 1.5 million (mostly Syrian) refugees are dispersed all over its tiny territory. Its economy is collapsing and infrastructure crumbling. The ISIS is right at the border with Syria, literally next door, or even with one foot inside Lebanon, periodically invading, and setting up countless “dormant cells” in all Lebanese cities and all over its countryside. Hezbollah is fighting the ISIS, but the West and Saudi Arabia apparently consider Hezbollah, not the ISIS, to be the major menace to their geopolitical interests.

Interview: The Syrian Refugee Crisis In Their Own Words

April 8, 2016 Sallie Latch and Mitchel Cohen, www.popularresistance.org Educate! Greece, Refugees, Syria, US Empire

By Sallie Latch and Mitchel Cohen for WBAI. Samos, Greece - Sallie Latch is an 83-year-old artist born in Cleveland and who grew up in Northern California. She left her current home in Mexico to go to the island of Samos in Greece, to voluntarily work with refugees fleeing bombings and warfare in Syria and Iraq. She arrived there just as the European Union decided to turn away newly arriving refugees and send them back to Turkey, which parallels the United States and other countries turning away boatloads of Jews fleeing the Nazis during World War 2. The Center for Global Justice in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, contributed to Sallie's efforts and helped make her trip possible.

Newsletter – A Peek At Empire

April 2, 2016 Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese, www.popularresistance.org Newsletter Asian Pivot, BDS, Cuba, Israel-Palestine, Latin America, Middle East, Peace, Syria, US Empire, Wars and Militarism

By Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese for Popular Resistance. It's impacts are all around us, but it is rarely mentioned. What is it? Empire, and it's time to bring it out of the shadows. We take a peek at the history of US Empire and how it continues to grow and be all-consuming today. The Empire Economy plunders our national treasury and robs us of jobs, education, healthcare and a future while serving transnational corporations. The US military is the biggest single user of fossil fuels which pollutes the planet and worsens the climate crisis. Our 'American Way of War' targets the basic necessities of life like power stations, hospitals and water plants for destruction and turns peaceful people against each other causing chaos and creating a vacuum for extremism and aggression against the US. The Pentagon cannot be audited but demands more every year. The war culture pervades our society.

Does The US Have A Plan In Syria, Iraq, Or Yemen?

March 30, 2016 Dan Wright, www.shadowproof.com Educate! Foreign Policy, Iraq, Syria, United States, Yemen

By Dan Wright for Shadow Proof - The literal DC turf war in Syria continues to rage between the CIA and the Department of Defense. The Los Angeles Times reported the fighting between a CIA-backed Syrian rebel group, Fursan al Haq, and the Pentagon-backed Kurds has intensified in the last two months.

The Kurds receive support from the Department of Defense to fight ISIS.

Clinton Email Shows US Sought Syria Regime Change For Israel

March 24, 2016 Jason Ditz, www.news.antiwar.com Resist! Hillary Clinton, Israel, Syria

By Jason Ditz for Antiwar - It is rare for a succinct foreign policy platform paper to so fully encapsulate a candidate’s thinking process. A policy paper sent to Hillary Clinton, available on WikiLeaks, lays out the Democratic front-runner’s strategy as an architect of US intervention in Syria, shows the flawed reasoning that beget the scheme. Perhaps most importantly, the document shows utter blindness to the huge problems that the war ultimately led to. As with so many US wars in the Middle East, it all starts with Israel, and saw the US imposing regime change in Syria...
