UN Security Council Will Talk About Syria – After Lunch!

by Leave a Comment

The United Nations security council, better known as the “UN council Against anything Israel does”, had a pretty hard time discussing one of the member state little small issues, one that involves the slaughter or its citizens by the army. This joke of a council, who serves mostly to please the politics of people with power, or money, or both, needs to decide if it is actually going to say anything about the way the Syrian president has conducted himself and his brothers army in the argument over democracy in this country.

But obviously they can not say anything, because its perfectly alright to murder your own people, even if you do not have oil and power, as long as your powerful friends and business partners protect you. Nice and simple.

The scale of this absurd situation is so huge that even in the Palestinian refugee camp out of Syria’s capitol there was a roar of anger over the way Palestinian kids were sent to their death when asked to cross the boarded into Israel, with the full knowledge that this was a criminal and violent act since this is a enemy line. Now why would a Palestinian go to the Golan to protest over occupied territory when this is Syrian land which was lost when Syria tried to “Push the Jews into the sea”, did not work out too well for them.

If you have been following the news out of Syria these past weeks, and especially these past few days, you have probably learned that the struggle against the Assad regime is on full force, and that the demonstrations and protests have re-introduced themselves into many parts of the country.

Now it looks like much of the north of Syria is held by anti government forces, who have also attacked and killed a large number of police/army personal, according to some of the news from the Syrian TV station (the one that speaks for the regime). The good news in all of this misery is that it seems that the new protests came as a result of the meeting the opposition to government talks in Turkey last week, and the some say have ended with the agreement that the new Syria will not have a religious government, but will stay secular.

In a significant contrast to the Egypt and Tunisian revolutions evolution, Syria seems to have finally set the first stone for a real revolution, an understanding between the people who oppose the forced leadership on the new way they seek for their country.

However there are a lot of things that still need changing, especially the Arab habit of singing the same old songs and chanting the same old way, it almost looks like the only thing that actually changes are the words, you can plug in any word you like to match the day and the overall feeling. Watching some of the very violent videos that came out of Syria in the last days, one can not help but notice that the main thing that is sang, chanted or shout in the streets is the same old “God is Great”, the same cry uses suicide bombers, child killers and the opposition itself, everyone cries out the god loves them, and indeed they think so.

It will be refreshing and encouraging to see a new Arab culture rise from this revolutions, one that does not walk the streets chanting the same old way old regimes have forced it to do, one that truly understands the power of democracy and demonstrating.

Misfortune of Being Born Syrian

If you have the good luck of being born in a free and democratic country you should be very happy, these days the people of Syria are learning just how hard it is to live under the rule of oppressive minority, and they learn this the hard way, all alone with no one to do anything for them, this is how the world is today.

The few weak words that the UN, European parliament, and especially the U.S.A. with its Nobel peace prize president who’s foreign policy is so disastrously wrong that he is driving the whole of the middle east into a frenzy of revolutions and oppression, the few words they release to the world media every couple of days, while the death toll is increasingly rising in every corner of Syria do not help anyone.

Even the Syrian citizen has now realized that no one cares for him, not his ruling elite class of the Alawi, not the Iranian regime with its humanistic approach (they sent the Cannes Film Festival a note of solidarity with the Nazi, foolish, statements of director Von Trier), not the Europeans that will happily go to war for their supply of natural gas but will not speak a word about thousands killed, and of course Mr. Obama who is much more interested in drinking beer in Ireland than to confront the evil doing of Syrian leaders and their patrons the Iranians.

And still these couragoues people go out to the streets and demonstrate, the call out for freedom, for liberty, for the basic and fundamental human rights and for democracy, to end oppression and for equal opportunity, but no one cares.

Shame on us all.
