According to Russia’s TASS news agency, a grim milestone was achieved in Syria a few days ago: several peaceful demonstrators in Aleppo were massacred. [1] The twist is that the demonstrators were calling for protection by the Syrian army to end the destruction of the city; they were shot by insurgents.

This year, a cabal of generals evidently believed it could secure the White House for Mitt Romney by staging the Benghazi incident and using it as the signal for a cold coup under cover of elections — probably including computer-generated election fraud — to bring down Obama. They guessed wrong.

Once again Israël attacks Gaza, and the international media relays the images of desolation. But the outrage provoked by these daily horrors must not prevent us from analysing the situation and understanding its aims. Thierry Meyssan anwers the question.

A ground invasion may be imminent. But Bibi may – once again – be biting more of a gefilte fish than he can chew. Don’t expect any condemnation from the cowardly petro-monarchies of the Gulf Counter-Revolution Club (GCC), previously known as Gulf Cooperation Council. And don’t expect any condemnation from all those Western “Friends of Syria” who get so outraged by the Assad regime killing “its own people”.

So many wars to launch, so little time. When you’re the political leader of the most militarized nation on the planet – as is the case with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu – you gotta find ways to play with your toys.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A group of extremist Islamist factions in Syria has rejected the country’s new opposition coalition, saying in a video statement they have formed an “Islamic state” in the embattled city of Aleppo to underline they want nothing to do with the Western-backed bloc.

“Other Arab and regional states in good standing with Hamas, notably Qatar (whose Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani recently visited Gaza with promises of financial assistance and investment) and Turkey (Hamas leader Khaled Mashal gave the key note address at the AK party conference of Prime Minister Erdoğan) will themselves be keen for this crisis to be over asap. Their priority right now is Syria. And this Gazan escalation will already be taking the gloss off their apparent success in re-launching a unified Syrian opposition grouping in Doha last week. They are now in the uncomfortable position of having worked closely on Syria with the same Western powers (notably the US, Britain, France, and the EU) who have been rushing to accord legitimacy to Israel’s so-called “self-defence” action against Gaza. They know that this is music to the ears of the Assad regime and that it will be used against them, especially if more Gazan blood is spilled. If this becomes Cast Lead II, then they will be in no position to promote the intervention they desire in Syria while Gaza is burning.”

The internal logic to Israeli policy is to live by the sword, but a more democratic Arab region, more responsive to public demands and dignity can only make such a policy dangerous in the longer term

Son cínicos quienes rechazan los ataques israelíes contra Gaza y apoyan a los terroristas pro Israel en Siria
18th November, 2012
Los reaccionarios Hermanos Musulmanes tienen la desfachatez de manifestar su supuesta solidaridad con los palestinos masacrados por el Tsahal en Gaza enarbolando la sucia bandera de la contrarrevolución siria. Es decir, están a favor de una parte del plan sionista e imperialista de destruir Siria, aniquilar a su población e instalar una tiranía servil con Israel como la de Qatar, Jordania, saudilandia, Kuwait, Libia, Bahrein y Yemen, y se oponen contra otra parte del mismo plan que incluye el exterminio de la resistencia palestina en Gaza y de su población para crear en Jordania un “bantustán” palestino y tomar por asalto Gaza y Cisjordania. Esta incoherencia propia de los fanáticos e imbéciles salafistas favorece las masacres de Israel y de la OTAN y sus agentes en Gaza y Siria, divide a las masas árabes y no sirve para nada a las masas palestinas masacradas tanto en Gaza como en los campos palestinos en Siria.
Apoyar al pueblo palestino de Gaza es lo mismo que apoyar al pueblo sirio. La diferencia es que el gobierno sirio mantiene una coherente postura antisionista solidaria con la causa palestina mientras que la dirección salafistas de Hamas muestra su inconsecuencia al negarse a apoyar de manera irrestricta al gobierno de Siria como sí hace el partido Hezbollah, que expresa una coherencia y firmeza intachables.
Si el pueblo palestino quiere dejar de acumular derrotas, masacres, dolor y sufrimiento deberá cambiar de dirección política y estrecharse mas a sus hermanos árabes de Líbano y Siria y a los sectores en lucha en Jordania, Bahrein y Yemen.

Pourquoi une nouvelle guerre contre Gaza ?

À nouveau Israël attaque Gaza et les médias internationaux relaient des images de désolation. Cependant la sidération que provoque l’horreur quotidienne de cette nouvelle guerre ne doit pas nous empêcher de l’analyser et d’en comprendre les objectifs. Thierry Meyssan répond à cette question.

By Kourosh Ziabari – Tehran Times – A German political pundit says China will use its soft power to find a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis and force it on the U.S., the UK, France, and Germany. “I am also rather confident that China will give the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and other important European governments economic incentives to find a peaceful resolution to the (Syrian) crisis,” Christof Lehmann said in an interview with the Tehran Times on Tuesday.
