Turkish Airline Flying Al-Qaeda from Pakistan to Syrian Borders

TEHRAN (FNA)- Turkey's national air carrier, Turkish Air, has been transiting Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants from North Waziristan in Pakistan to the Turkish borders with Syria, sources revealed on Saturday, mentioning that the last group were flown to Hatay on a Turkish Air Airbus flight No. 709 on September 10, 2012.

"The Turkish intelligence agency sent 93 Al-Qaeda and Taliban terrorists from Waziristan to Hatay province near the border with Syria on a Turkish Air Airbus flight No. 709 on September 10, 2012 and via the Karachi-Istanbul flight route," the source told FNA on Saturday, adding that the flight had a short stop in Istanbul. The 93 terrorists transited to the Turkish border with Syria included Al-Qaeda militants from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan and a group of Arabs residing in Waziristan, he added. The source, who asked to remain anonymous due to the sensitivity of his information, further revealed that the Turkish intelligence agency is coordinating its measures with the CIA and the Saudi and Qatari secret services. FNA dispatches from Pakistan said new al-Qaeda members were trained in North Waziristan until a few days ago and then sent to Syria, but now they are transferring their command center to the borders between Turkey and Syria as a first step to be followed by a last move directly into the restive parts of Syria on the other side of the border. The al-Qaeda, backed by Turkey, the US and its regional Arab allies, had set up a new camp in Northern Waziristan in Pakistan to train Salafi and Jihadi terrorists and dispatched them to Syria via Turkish borders. "A new Al-Qaeda has been created in the region through the financial and logistical backup of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and a number of western states, specially the US," a source told FNA earlier this month. Ali Mahdian told FNA that the US and the British governments have been playing with the al-Qaeda through their Arab proxy regimes in the region in a bid to materialize their goals, specially in Syria. He said the Saudi and Qatari regimes serve as interlocutors to facilitate the CIA and MI6 plans in Syria through instigating terrorist operations by Salafi and Arab Jihadi groups, adding that the terrorists do not know that they actually exercise the US plans. "Turkey has also been misusing extremist Salafis and Al-Qaeda terrorists to intensify the crisis in Syria and it has recently augmented its efforts in this regard by helping the new Al-Qaeda branch set up a camp in Northern Waziristan in Pakistan to train Al-Qaeda and Taliban members as well as Turkish Salafis and Arab Jihadis who are later sent to Syria for terrorist operations," said the source. He said the camp in Waziristan is not just a training center, but a command center for terrorist operations against Syria. Yet, the source said the US and Britain are looking at the new Al-Qaeda force as an instrument to attain their goals and do not intend to support them to ascend to power, "because if Salafi elements in Syria ascend to power, they will create many problems for the US, the Western states and Turkey in future". "Thus, the US, Britain and Turkey are looking at the Al-Qaeda as a tactical instrument," he said, and warned of the regional and global repercussions of the US and Turkish aid to the Al-Qaeda and Salafi groups. "Unfortunately, these group of countries have just focused on the short-term benefits that the Salafis and the Al-Qaeda can provide for them and ignore the perils of this support in the long run," he said. "At present, the western countries, specially Britain which hosts and controls the Jihadi Salafi groups throughout the world are paving the ground for these extremists to leave their homes - mostly in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Untied Arab Emirates (UAE) as well as those who live in Europe and the US - for Waziristan," the source added. In relevant remarks, Syrian Prime Minister Wael al-Halqi last week blamed certain states, the Salafis and the Al-Qaeda for terrorist operations which have claimed the lives of thousands of people in his country, and said terrorist groups supported by certain foreign actors are misusing differences in his country to bring Syria into turmoil. Addressing the 16th heads-of-state summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) here in Tehran on Thursday, the Syrian premier noted terrorist attacks on his nation, and said the "terrorists are backed up by certain foreign states". "Many countries allege to be supporting peaceful solutions in Syria, but they oppose Annan's plan in practice," he said, and cautioned, "The responsibility for the failure of this plan lies on their shoulder as they strove to keep the Syrian crisis going and falsified events." "The world should know that the Syrian crisis, in fact, rises from foreign meddling. Certain well-known countries from inside and outside the region are seeking instability of Syria," the Syrian prime minister complained. Elaborating on the recent developments in Syria, al-Halqi said, "It has been proved that foreign-backed terrorist groups have been misusing events and killing the innocent people." "These terrorists include Salafis and Al-Qaeda Takfiri groups," he reiterated, and added, "Those states that support terrorism and oppose talks should be given moral and economic punishments as they are part of the problem in Syria." Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country. In October, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of stirring unrests in Syria once again. The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Bashar al-Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States. The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States. The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure. Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons - most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past - has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.

No ‘Red Line’ for Israel

By Gilad Atzmon

Israeli news outlets reported today that President Obama rejected an appeal by Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to set a specific “red line” to stop any further Iranian uranium enrichment.

According to reports, in an hour-long conversation on Tuesday, Obama deflected Netanyahu’s proposal to make the size of Iran’s stockpile of close-to-bomb-grade uranium the threshold, the crossing of which would trigger a US military strike on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.

But it seems that, this time at least, President Obama has decided against launching a world war on behalf of the Jewish State and its powerful lobby.

“We need some ability for the President to have decision-making room,” said an American official. “We have a red line, which is a nuclear weapon. We’re committed to that red line.” The meaning of this is simple: America just doesn’t buy the Israeli intelligence reports regarding Iranian intentions.
Israel is not happy. Apparently, the Israelis want to see Iran wiped out - and soon and its officials have already confirmed that such an American guarantee falls far short of the Jewish state’s security needs.
Ynet  reported today that prime minister Netanyahu told reporters this week that “the Obama administration had no ‘moral right’ to restrain Israel from taking military action on its own if it refused to put limits on Iran.” Ynet adds that “the remarks were followed by reports claiming that Obama snubbed Netanyahu's request to meet during the United Nations General Assembly session in New York this month.”

So it seems that for now, the Obama administration has come to its senses - it has said NO to Jewish pressure.

Of course, this decision is far more likely to be political than ethically or morally driven. Amid the presidential election, Obama has been quick to perceive a window of opportunity that may prove to be a game winner. Obama lets the Republican party and their presidential candidate Mitt Romney operate as Netanyahu’s Sabbath Goyim.  Obama clears the stage to Romney who foolishly and voluntarily pushes for another Israeli war, he lets Romney be a Zionist mouthpiece, the one who scarifies America and American soldiers for Israel.  Consequently, Obama presents himself as a reasonable, sensible and responsible leader– all in all, a ‘real American patriot’.

But, by now, one thing should be clear. Israel, as we now have long known, lacks the military capacity to destroy Iran’s nuclear project and needs America to take care of it. Netanyahu and the Jewish Lobby were convinced they could, ahead of the election, pressure Obama into such a suicidal mission. They were wrong.

But still, the take-home message is plainly written on the wall: Israel and its lobby are the gravest danger to world peace and they are not going to hold back.

We’ve long known that the arrival of Obama did not bring peace. Like those before him, he has surrounded himself with rabid Zionist warmongers. But we can only hope that the penny has now dropped - even if we also know that the penny isn’t worth all that much anymore.

Cooperation

Cooperation

It was a:

1. full-fledged military attack,
   
2. long in the planning (no spontaneous demonstration, although the demonstration helped disguise the attack, and perhaps fooled the Americans into underestimating the situation),
   
3. by a paramilitary group associated with the government just installed by NATO/American violence (not to mention closely associated with the fighters against the Syrian government being sponsored by the American government), although they have done a better-than-usual job at hiding the connections,
   
4. and with the assistance of at least some of the Libyan government security service, who helped deliver the Ambassador into the hands of the attackers, where he appears to have received some very rough justice, but justice nonetheless (I wonder if it included the special treatment given to Gadaffi),
   
5. and the response is yet more American violence, pretending to send drones and troops to Libya which are already there and haven't stopped operating,
   
6. all for the purpose of drone-slaughtering some al-Qaeda leader so Obama can appear to be strong and manly and re-electable,
   
7. which is highly ironic given that the original cause of the attack was the drone-slaughtering in Afghanistan of an al-Qaeda leader from Libya.

Meanwhile, the infamous movie - if it exists - that has sparked protests elsewhere appears to have been produced by a man named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who pleaded guilty to felony bank fraud:

"A variety of documents filed in the U.S. District Court case were sealed at the request of prosecutors and Nakoula’s lawyer. The sealed records--from the transcript of Nakoula’s change-of-plea hearing to sentencing memoranda--appear to indicate that his plea agreement with the government included some form of cooperation."

As soon as he was released he started to work on the movie. It may be he is just a con man who took a sizable amount to make a movie and just produced a cheap trailer. Was this part of his 'cooperation'? Who is really behind the movie? Who financed it?

How's that a 'foreign policy'?

How's that a 'foreign policy'?

"... For more than a quarter century, Saudi Arabia and the United States have had a grand bargain: they sell us overpriced oil in exchange for virtually unlimited access to our advanced weapons. (Of the $66 billion in U.S. arms sales abroad last year, half went to Saudi Arabia.) In addition, Riyadh agreed to fund U.S. covert operations around the world with its surplus petrodollars.......

In 2007, Stuart Levey, the Treasury Department's top expert on terrorist finances, testified that "wealthy donors in Saudi Arabia are still funding violent extremists around the world, from Europe to North Africa, from Iraq to Southeast Asia." As Levey told an interviewer, "If I could somehow snap my fingers and cut off the funding from one country, it would be Saudi Arabia."

It should come as no comfort, therefore, that Saudi sources, both official and unofficial, have been pouring military supplies into Syria's rebel movement for months. The New York Times reports that the Obama administration has encouraged such provisions to supplement its own "non-lethal" aid. "Administration officials say that outsourcing the supply of money and arms to the rebels maintains a crucial distinction that keeps American military fingerprints off a conflict that has already turned into a bloody civil war."

Efforts by CIA officers to steer the arms to non-jihadist groups appear to be of little avail. The resistance movement is increasingly turning Islamist, even joining up with fighters from al Qaeda. The consequences for human rights, especially for Syria's minorities, have been terrible.

In the words of one Indian journalist writing for the New York Times, "As Saudi Arabian arms and money bolster the opposition, the 80,000 Christians who've been 'cleansed' from their homes... by the Free Syrian Army have gradually given up the prospect of ever returning home... The seeming indifference of the international community... is breeding a bitter anti-Americanism among many secular Syrians who see the United States aligning itself with Saudi Arabia, the fount of Wahhabism, against the Arab world's most resolutely secular state."

He is not alone in raising the alarm. Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki warned that by "sending arms instead of working on putting out the fire," Saudi Arabia and Qatar "will leave a greater crisis in the region."

Even some neocons, who for years have championed the downfall of Syria's regime, now sound uneasy about the prospect of Saudi Arabian money dictating the outcome of what increasingly is turning into a regional conflict.

"Washington must stop subcontracting Syria policy to the Turks, Saudis and Qataris," declared Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute. "They are clearly part of the anti-Assad effort, but the United States cannot tolerate Syria becoming a proxy state for yet another regional power."

Surely we already have enough dangerous fires to put out, from Islamists attacking a nuclear air base in Pakistan to jihadists rampaging across Northern Africa in the wake of the Libya campaign. The Obama administration is right to resist foolhardy calls for direct military intervention in another sectarian conflict in the Middle East. But outsourcing our intervention to Saudi Arabia is an abdication of responsibility, an evasion of accountability, and a set-up for long-term disaster."

The Pope and the Palestinians

During his apostolic Pilgrimage to Lebanon will the Vicar of Christ Sup in the Temple with the Money Changers or Succor the progeny of Jesus?

Jesus was Palestinian and why it matters

The only time this observer recalls Yassir Arafat ever becoming frustrated with the late American journalist Janet Stevens, whom he adored as a daughter, was during a visit in August of 1982 when the PLO leader, mentioned in conversation, as he often did to others, that Jesus Christ was a Palestinian. Arafat, a devout Muslim, was proud of that fact.

On that particular night, Janet was exhausted, as many under siege in West Beirut were, from more than 11 hours of Israeli bombing and she had other things on her mind. Most pressing was a sick child in Burj al Baranjeh refugee camp who needed to be taken to Europe for a lifesaving operation without delay.

Janet asked, well, truth is told, she essentially instructed the PLO leader to arrange the evacuation of the child and even mentioned a specific European country that would likely assist with the operation without “political complications” from the Zionist lobby.

Janet interrupted what she assumed would be one of Arafat’s long discourses about the resistance fighter from Nazareth, and burst out, impatiently:

“For Christ’s sake, Abu Ammar, please don’t tell me about Jesus just now! We have got to get this child out of Lebanon or she will surely die!”

Arafat appeared surprised, even taken aback. Perhaps it was because as a deeply religious man who respected other religions and especially valued meetings with Sheiks, Priests and Rabbis, he liked to tell guests about how Jesus and his mother Mary attended a wedding ceremony at Qana in South Lebanon, as noted in the Koran and the Bible, and also how ‘Prophet Issa’ regularly visited Tyre and Sidon and villages along his path.

Yasser Arafat, right, and Pope John Paul II
meet at the papal summer residence
Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, 

One imagines that Yassir |Arafat would have relished meeting Pope Benedict XVI in Lebanon as he had met Pope John Paul nine times.

The PLO leader once recalled a special meeting when, on short notice, Pope John Paul invited him to the Pontiff’s summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, Italy. It was September 19, 1999, the 17^thAnniversary of the Sabra-Shatila Massacre.

Janet Lee Stevens
(1951-1983)

Arafat described how both his and the Popes eyes brimmed as the successor of St. Peter stunned Arafat with his deep knowledge and sadness of what was perpetrated during the nearly 50 hours of non-stop slaughter in the Beirut refugee camp.

Dheisheh refugee camp

Both Arafat and Janet believed that Christians are in the Middle East not because they arrived as part of a colonial empire, despite the crusades a millennium after Christ.

They considered them as part of the makeup of the original landscape with deep roots in this land and that they have a right to live in the place where they were born and to fully exercise their undeniable Right of Return if they were ethnically cleansed.

While much of the Pope’s schedule is pretty much taken up with meetings and meals with politicians and high ranking prelates, to his credit, Bishop Camille Zaidan, Chairman of the Central Committee tasked with preparing the schedule the Pope Benedict XVI visit to Lebanon this weekend, has officially invited all the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon to two Papal events, including an address by the Holy Father at Beirut’s International Airport and the Holy Mass and the Presentation of the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation for the Middle East in the Beirut City Center Waterfront. Still under discussion is a possible visit by the Pontiff to Shatila Camp and Martyr’s Cemetery where the remains of approximately 1,100 Palestinians, Lebanese and other nationalities were hastily buried 30 years ago as the World learned of the manifold horrors of the Sabra-Shatila massacre. 



According to I.MEDIA news agency, which is close to the Vatican, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church leader Gregory III Laham the spiritual head of Lebanon's second largest Catholic community has stated his intension “to ask the Pope to recognize a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its shared capital and in compliance with the resolutions and decisions of the international community and international law." I. Media, reports that “Gregory plans to thank the Holy See for its "firm and unwavering position on the [Palestinian] cause." Gregory believes, that, “Such an action would allow the Holy See to remain a "pioneer of world justice" and prompt European and other countries to follow.

The Palestinians of Lebanon, and those in solidarity with their struggle to Return, are much encouraged by his call for dialogue and reconciliation in Lebanon. His words, following last Sundays Angelus blessing: "My apostolic trip to Lebanon, and by extension to the whole of the Middle East, is taking place under the sign of peace," and his emphasis on "the particular need for peaceful coexistence between Christian and Muslim communities in Lebanon and the region" are shared by all people of good will. 

Demonstrators calling for Palestinian human rights in Lebanon march from south Beirut to downtown.

One hopes that Pope Benedict, as head of much of Lebanon’s Christian community, will encourage his large following among members of Parliament, the more than 800 religious and political leaders in Lebanon, to make a 90 minute oblation. Ninety minutes is the time required in Parliament to repeal the racist 2001 law that makes it a criminal offense for Palestinians in Lebanon to own home. As part of the same oblation, Lebanon’s leaders could glorify God by enacting the right to work for Palestinian refugees here, an elementary civil right accorded to every other foreigner in Lebanon and every refugee around the world, including apartheid Israel.

Metaphoricallyspeaking, perhaps for some who have actively worked to deny Palestinian refugees in Lebanon even the most fundamental human rights, this courageous act could be seen as a sort of“ Full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation and satisfaction” as described in the first Book of Common Prayer, 1549.

The teachings and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth demand no less.

Hamas seeking a ‘United Resistance’ without Syria, against "Israel"

Adressing  the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad talks to senior Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar in Tehran, Rehmat claimed that "since Hamas moved its headquarter from Damascus and paying verbal support for the anti-Assad armed insurgents"
 

According to confirmed sources, Syria Truth, a Syrain opposition site, claimed that Ghanajah was involved in terrorist operations carried out by Syrian and non-syrian armed groups, Syria, against institutions, Syrian and palestinian people, close to the regime including the "Palestinian Liberation Army", whose arms depots in the suburbs of Damascus were looted at the hands of armed groups supervised by Ghanajah personally.

According to Syria Truth, Syria have well documentation proving that the security official for "Hamas" in Damascus Kamal Hosni Ghanajah, known as "Nizar Abu Mujahid," and who was assassinated in Damascus in June last year, was running terrorist operations funded by Qatar on Syrian territory...   

According to confirmed sources, Syria Truth, claimed that Ghanajah was involved in terrorist operations carried out by Syrian and non-syrian armed groups, Syria, against institutions, Syrian and palestinian people, close to the regime including the "Palestinian Liberation Army", whose arms depots in the suburbs of Damascus were looted at the hands of armed groups supervised by Ghanajah personally.

Another source said "it is now confirmed that Ghanajah provided infrastructure for armed Islamist groups in the suburbs of Damascus, and specifically for those associated with the Muslim Brotherhood," including hideouts, weapon warehouses , 4 wheel cars, Dushka guns and means of communication .. etc. ".  

The source said that the biggest surprise for Syrian security services was finding large sums of money (more than $ 25 million) in the house Ghanajah and in the possession of a number of his associates...

Most of the involved elements (mainly from Hamas) have been arrested.

According to the source, the expansion of the investigation revealed that  Ghannajah by virtue of his strong relations with Syrian security officials imposed by the nature of his work was given "keys security and facilities "  which he placed in service of groups Syrian armed enabling the latter to carry out the assassination of senior Syrian officers in the army and intelligence services and "Palestinian Liberation Army", and carry out an armed robbery on weapons depots and blow up a number of security and sensitive military centers inside and outside Damascus. He also used the security facilities given to him by the Syrian authorities for the benefit of the armed Syrian opposition at the level of movement to and from Lebanon.

The Palestine Liberation Army Condemns
Terrorist Killing of Army Conscripts

The Syrian security services investigations, on "Ghannajah cell" reported to the "Hamas" movement at home and abroad, through Iran and Hezbollah, has sparked a big dispute among the "Gaza Group" headed by Mahmoud Zahar and "Eexternal Group" headed by Khaled Mashaal and Moussa Abu Marzouk.

Informed Palestinian sourses in Damascus told Syria Truth, Mahmoud Zahar to Tehran aims to clarify Gaza's group. Zahar, before visting Tehran met with leaders of Hezbollah to address the issue of "Hamas cell".

Zahar told those involved in Hezbollah and Tehran that "Hamas" is now in fact "Hamasan", (Divided into two Hamas) one linked to resistance, and other overseas Hamas linked to  Global Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian President Mohammed Mursi and the Qatari government, represented by Khaled Meshaal and Mousa Abu Marzouk. The other "Hamas" concern is oil, gas and real estate prices in the global and Amman stock markets more than anything else.

  This probably is not know to many Syrians.

Abu Ammar, who like many Fateh historic leaders was a former Muslim brother, tried to dip his bread in the dish Syria, besides the ideological motivation to stand by the Muslim Brotherhood in their battle against Hafez al-Assad, the political motivation was not less clear. Abu Ammar wanted to embarrass Sadat and "Camp David, but as a broker, and his best available entrance was

playing within the "House of Hafez al-Assad" himself!

Arafat did not hesitate to instruct his "Abu Maher Ghneim," to involve thugs in the internal Syrian crisis line, starting with weapons and the end of the car bombs.

For weapon, he had assumed his command Brigadier "Abu Taan" (Mustafa Dib Khalil), leader of the "Palestinians armed struggle force"  in Lebanon, who built his "land bridge" to supply "Islamic fighting gangs" with weapons across the Syrian-Lebanese border.

And it was striking that the Fateh gun smugglers to Syria often met with "Phalanges" and Lebanese forces arms smugglers at Qasir "Talkalakh" crossings used today by "14 March movement" for the same purpose, and for the same destination (Iblishood)

For the car bombs, Arafat assigned  "Abdullah Abbasi" Abu Amjad, well known to Syrian political detainees chance who were in Sednaya military prison during the nineties.

"Abu Taan", besides smuggling of weapons to "Iblishood", but sent fighters to support "the Islamic Tawheed Movement" in Tripoli (Sheikh Saeed Shaaban group), which was fighting the Syrian army, and ended up participating in the slaughter of dozens of militants of the Lebanese Communist Party ... "infidels"!!. 

Not only that. It is proven that hundreds of Fateh elements took part in the fighting alongside the "Muslim Brotherhood", both in Hama and other places. The eighties ended up with hundreds of Fateh prisoners in Syrian prisons, including "Abu Taan" and "Abu Amjad" who remained for twenty years in those prisons till the year 2003!

Today, as appears from the available data, "Khaled Meshaal" is playing the same game "Abu Ammar" played in 1980's.

Why not? The Iblishood gun is for rent since founded in the bosom of British intelligence, and "the Suez Canal Company" in the twenties of the last century?

More here in Arabic

Personaly, I can't buy Zahar's story about Hamasan (Two Hamases) and the call for unity of resistance. Zahar himself has an Egyptian mothers and Egyptian citizenship. He voted for Iblishood and its Mursi, who vowed to respect the peace treaty and to make a diplomatic action to restore the rights of the Palestinian people." .

According the Rehmat, Zahar discussed with his Iranian host issues a "united Islamic Resistance" front without its corners stone, Syria. In other words he delivered a message, and most likely he got the same Iranian answer, Haneyeh, Erdogen and many got including Catherine Ashton in Baghdad talking.

However, I would correct Rehmat's mistake. He claimed that "Syria has not fired a single rocket since Jewish army occupied Golan Heights in 1967 and consequently he dares to put Hamas and Syria in one basket, claiming that "Tehran’s support for Hamas and Syria is ‘one sided’" and he claimed that"in case of a joint US-Israel attack, both Hamas and Syria will not come to Iran’s aid."

Rehmant Ignored Syria's support for Tehran since day one of the Islamic revolution, and forget that Syria, many years before the Islamic revolution in Tehran, has regained Golan Heights and reached Tabariya in 1973 war, before Sadat left Syria alone, and he forget that Syria lost 12000 fighter in 1982 invasion to keep Damascus Beirut international road and prevent Sharon from occupying north Lebanon. Rehmat also ignored the Syrian role in 2006 victory that Syria is paying dearly for that role, and for embracing Iran and resistance movements before and after that war.

Hamas calls for a ‘United Resistance’ against Israel

Posted on September 14, 2012 | 

Mahmoud al-Zahar, the co-founder and senior member of Palestinian Islamic resistance ruling the Gaza strip, Hamas, met Iran’s President Ahmadinejad in Tehran on September 9, 2012. He discussed with his host issues concerning a united Islamic Resistance front (Iran, Hizbullah and Hamas) against the Zionist entity. Mahmoud al-Zahar had met Hizbullah leader Sheikh Nasrallah before arriving in Tehran. After the meeting in Beirut, Sheikh Nasrallh said:

“The contradiction with the Islamic resistance factions in Gaza is not due to their ideological, religious, or intellectual affiliation. It is, however, due to the program of the resistance.”

It’s obvious, that since Hamas moved its headquarter from Damascus and paying verbal support for the anti-Assad armed insurgents – the relations between some of Hamas leaders and the ‘Axis of Resistance (Iran, Hizbullah and Syria)’ are not cozy as used to be.

Ahmadinejad warned his guest that leaders of Islamic movements should not downplay and underestimate the plots and actions of the enemies, because they are seeking to save the Zionist regime with more sophisticated plots. To that effect, they may pretend to rebuke the Zionist regime, but their main objective is to save this regime.

“We have to be more vigilant in a bid to be able to neutralize their conspiracies,” said Ahmadinejad.

The latest US-Israeli conspiracy was the murder of US ambassador in Libya, Christopher Steven, blamed on Libyans protesting against an anti-Islam movie produced by an Israeli Jew producer. According to Canadian Jewish academic, Henry Makow PhD, the murder of the ambassador was an Israeli false flag operation to draw US into war with Iran.

If not realized as yet – Hamas leaders will soon find out that they were fooled by the Saudi, Qatar, Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood on moving out of Damascus. Qatar’s $350 million promised aid was meant to isolate Hamas from its three long-standing supporters, Iran, Hizbullah and Syria. Hamas’ closing its headquarter and military training operation in Syria – was its greatest strategic blunder.

Mahmoud al-Zahar, while conveying Hamas’ appreciation of Tehran’s financial and moral support – told Ahmadinejad:

“Yes, our leaders have some differences on the conflict in Syria. Someone is distancing himself from Bashar Assad, others seek closer ties with the Gulf monarchies. But these nuances won`t prevent us from creating ‘single forces of Islamic resistance’.”

There is no indication that Hamas has received $350 million bribe from Qatar ruler. However, the new ruler of Egypt, Dr. Morsi has closed down the underground tunnels used by Hamas to bring in food and building material from Egypt – and put restriction on Palestinians crossing the Rafah crossing.

I believe, Tehran’s support for Hamas and Syria is ‘one sided’. It’s good foreign policy to cultivate friendship with its neighboring countries – but in case of a joint US-Israel attack, both Hamas and Syria will not come to Iran’s aid. Hamas is too weak military-wise and Syria has not fired a single rocket since Jewish army occupied Golan Heights in 1967.

And finally a ZOG joke. The Zionist Jew David S. Cohen, Obama’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, issued a statement:

“The U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed on Thursday sanctions against Hizbullah’s leadership in Lebanon, further exposing Hizbullah’s active support to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, as well as its role in terrorist activities. ‘Hassan Nasrallah, Hizbullah’s secretary general, is being designated today pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13582, for providing support to the Syrian government,’ said the Treasury in a statement. ‘By aiding Assad’s violent campaign against the Syrian people and working to support a regime that will inevitably fall, Hizbullah’s ongoing activity undermines regional stability and poses a direct threat to Lebanon’s security“.

Cohen’s worry about “Lebanon’s security” reminds me Lebanese President Michel Suleiman’s response to Bibi’s threat to “wipe Lebanon off map”.

“Lebanon, despite not enjoying the military and financial support similar to that Zionist entity receives, is the only country that defeated Israel militarily. which the Zionist entity is still suffering from the consequences to this day,” said Suleiman.

THE FORCES OF LIGHT AND THE FORCES OF DARKNESS

 Four US diplomats were sacrificed to carry on the Hillary scheme of sowing discord among religions the evening of the pope’s visit Benedictus 16th to Lebanon where the country is being prepared to receive his eminence in all its colors and varieties and where Hizbullah is to share willingly -as part of the Lebanese political official mosaic- in most of the functions .

Hillary probably did not expect that the price would be so high , she thought that the whole of the anti Islamic provocative propaganda -designed to ignite fanaticism and hatred and swaying Egyptians and Libyans away from their main concern- will be restricted to some demonstrations here and there, around US embassies , not more . She had the guts- after the film was propagated and causing trouble all over the place- to say in an interview that there was no need to create such a havoc around this matter and that- in US- all religions were respected forgetting that- in order to respect religions- first one must honor man who is a creation of God and not encourage or create sectarian or religious differences .

The timing of this whole provocation also is not to be overlooked , it is high time to change direction because people are awakening to the fact that they have been taken for a ride and that the series of Arab springs produced by al Jazeera and US -like the infamous provocative movie- are turning into social discords of various kinds and are not bearing fruits, and that the so called revolution in Syria is no other than an attack on Syrians by a bunch of hired bearded criminals on the payroll of Intelligence Services supplied by Qatar and monitored by Turkey .

There is no Syrian opposition , there are criminal gangs paid to kill . This is the truth that is becoming more and more evident, and there is no Arab spring-as well- and Mursi is another US stooge who has not even been elected, and who is –already- dancing to the tunes of the US administration , and that Gaza will remain under siege and under attack, and that the Rafah borders will not be open. Also there seems to be no solution to the Palestinian problem, or to the taking over of Jerusalem, or to the expanding of the Israeli settlements, and that HAMAS has relinquished armed struggle for nothing, and has joined the chorus of the keepers of the Israeli peace, and that the Palestinian prisoners will either remain to rot in Israeli prisons or will starve themselves till death.

The Arab and Muslim masses are awakening to all these facts and to the big trap of sectarian alignment that has split the nation- while sparing its enemy, Israel -providing it with the desired security and stability. In all this turmoil -whose aim is -above all- to expose it and defeat it, the wise, peaceful, committed Lebanese Resistance has chosen the other side of the coin that consist in receiving the Catholic pope- who is not exactly the friend of the people- with all the required openness and tolerance, working along the forces of peace to bury any attempt at religious discord or conflict .

All this has caused Hillary to act quickly in order to work against what has been achieved, to launch another time her vicious scheme, and to reorient the struggle- in the desired way- to the place where no national awakening is possible and no mental and spiritual awareness, to the place where darkness and ignorance rule; the place of uncalculated reactions, of unrefined fanaticism , of hatred of the other and of the self .This is where Hillary wants to take all of us now , to the place from where we started , to the indiscriminate condition of the non seeing and non hearing and non discerning ; from sectarian conflict to religious conflict and back and forth, to start all over again caught -as we are- in this whirlpool that knows no beginning and no end .

Before demonstrating against a mediocre slandering stupid movie that cannot touch one hair of the Holy Prophet , these protesters should have taken to streets to protest against the so called hired Islam, practiced by the criminal thugs in Libya , in Syria and elsewhere . They should have taken to streets to protest against these slaughters and massacres committed in Syria and Libya in the name of the religion; against the crimes- committed with the call Allahu Akbar- that were exposing Islam and Muslims in an unprecedented manner.

Had they done this, no one would have dared –maybe- to produce such mischievous movie in such a provocative manner; but they had- themselves- provided the material for this infamous work, and are seeking now the vengeance that Hillary is expecting from them.
