"SOS Syrie": Once "democracy" comes to Syria, "Hezbollah, 'Iranian agents,' & Palestinians" will be made to "pay the price."

Via FLC

"... One the French side, SOS Syrie featured such participants as Bernard Kouchner, André Glucksman, Axel Poniatowski (a member of the Union for a Popular Movement and the president of the foreign affairs commission of the French National Assembly), and Frédéric Encel, "who cut his teeth in the Betar youth organization of Likud." As if that is not enough, former Knesset member Alex Goldfarb was also included.




What Syrians would want to join hands with the who's who of French Zionism and imperialism? Most of the prominent Syrian invitees named in the conference advertisements are the leaders of the aforementioned organizations that backed BHL's call.   
According to As-Safir's Paris correspondent Mohammad Ballout, among the invitees were many of the Executive Council of "Change in Syria": Amr Al-Azm, Ahed al-Hendi, Abdel Ilah Milhem (a leader of the Anza tribe), Ammar al-Qurabi (chairman of the National Organization for Human Rights in Syria), Sondos Sulaiman (of Al Hadatha Party). Lama Atassi, the president of France-Syrie Démocratie as well as a participant in the Antalya conference, took credit for linking up the Antalya opposition with BHL in an interview with Le Nouvel Observateur. 
What happened at the conference itself, where "the obscure faces of the Antalya opposition and of the Muslim Brotherhood" were seen among about 200 like-minded friends of BHL who filled the very much bobo Saint-Germain-des-Prés cinema?
According to La Règle du Jeu itself, Goldfarb, of all people, acted as "spokesman, in Paris, of Change in Syria for Democracy." 
There was also Ashraf al-Moqdad, a member of the "National Salvation Front in Syria" led by Abdul Halim Khaddam. Moqdad, says As-Safir, bragged that, once "democracy" comes to Syria, "Hezbollah, 'Iranian agents,' and Palestinians" will be made to "pay the price." The As-Safir reporter says Moqdad went on to threaten him as well..."
