Dirigente de izquierda argelina pide la salida del país de la Liga anti-árabe
Resistencia Libia
5th April, 2013
En el curso de un mitin político realizado el 30 de marzo en la ciudad costera argelina de Orán, la presidenta del Partido de los Trabajadores (PT), cercana al gobierno, Louise Hanoune, ha pedido al presidente de la República que a la vista de la escandalosa reunión de Doha de la liga anti-árabe controlada por los petro-feudales de Qatar y Arabia Saudita al servicio de Israel y la CIA, ordene su salida de la misma. Ha calificado a la citada organización anti-árabe de “liga de los lacayos del imperialismo”. Ha señalado que la decisión criminal de tal liga de entregar armas a los terroristas árabes es una “declaración de muerte” de la misma.Es evidente que esta política expresa la opinión de los sectores mayoritarios de la sociedad argelina que aún conserva los valores de la Revolución nacional de 1956 a 1962.

Frankly, it never was much of a “League” of Arab states. And arguably it never really achieved a whole lot but two dozen lavish ‘summits’ offering inflated rhetoric, often calculated to assuage the Arab people about their central cause, Palestine.

“Further militarisation of the conflict, I’m not sure that is the way to help the Syrian people. They are waiting for the killing to stop. You find some people far away from Syria are the ones very keen for putting in weapons.”

It seems unlikely that NATO would want to implicate Israel in an attack on Syria- that would just be plain silly. Erdogan has gained greatly from his perceived antagonism to Israel and Obama’s move could be seen as tying his hands. If Obama is foolish enough to attack Syria he will face enormous consequences- China has warned him and must respond. At the very least they will sink the dollar. Similarly how could Russia stand by and let it happen as they did in Libya.
An alternative interpretation of all this is that a peace process has begun with all the contradictions implied in a withdrawal from empire. We saw similar contradictions during the Northern Ireland peace process with the UK ruling class speaking out of both sides of their mouth. Obama is strangely ambivalent about the overthrow of Assad if that is really what he envisages. As in Ireland the outbreak of peace is the worst case scenario in certain circles. The pullback from the hegemonist project will be long, arduous, contradictory and fraught with danger for Obama

So the Home Office concedes that the Syrian insurgency consists substantially of foreign fighters: “hundreds” of Europeans to say nothing of tens of thousands from Tunisia, Libya and the Muslim world in general. Britain finds itself in a difficult situation having tried to repeat the Libya scenario and having failed. We are left visibly linked to some very unsavoury allies and no longer backed by the Americans. Time then for a rethink.
