US controlled Syria opposition pledges allegiance to Israel

Henry | 14.02.2013 10:57 | Palestine

Leader of the foreign-backed Syrian opposition coalition Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib (a known CIA asset) has confirmed that they have close links to Israel


The leader of the foreign-backed Syrian opposition coalition, Ahmed Moaz al-Khatib, has pledged allegiance to the Israeli regime if he manages to form a “new regime in Syria.”


In a recent interview with the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, Khatib stated that Israel should not be worried about the Syrian government’s chemical weapons as his so-called Syrian National Coalition 'is working with other countries to prevent chemical munitions from falling to the hands of the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah.'

This is while the Syrian government has taken measures to further secure its chemical arsenal and has warned that the militants may use such arms against the people.

Khatib added that, “We’ll spare no effort to prevent any military or chemical weapons passing to it (Hezbollah). We realize that this topic is of major concern to Israel.”

Khatib also admitted to having received information from US, French and German intelligence agencies on the bases and movements of the Syrian army.

The remarks come nearly two weeks after an Israeli airstrike on a military complex near the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The Syrian army said in a statement on January 30 that two people were killed and five others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a scientific center in Jamraya, located 25 kilometers (15 miles) northwest of Damascus.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. Many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.

The Syrian government says the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the militants are foreign nationals.

Yes, lots and lots of disinformation in this article...which is what you would expect from the army controlled newspaper mentioned.

I suppose the Israeli army has a desperate need to ally itself with the rebels for some reason.

This seems to be the best way to do it.

Take ownership of peoples understanding of a subject in order to create a magical fairyland where everything seems like its just the way it should be. Thats all Israel has these days. Thats all its got.

It spends its entire life lieing and cheating its way through its existence. You have to be really stupid and dumb to believe anything it says...or you have to be a soldier!

Lets be clear about this...Israel is a military dictatorship that is the leading source of legitimized criminality on the world stage. It has a long standing need for violence which it uses on a regular basis. It uses terrorism on a regular basis. It is a racist apartheid state and freely encourages its nationalist population to engage in racist based violence against the indigenous Palestinian people. It is endlessly attempting to create a major conflict in the region just so it can wipe the Arabs from the entire region.

Israel is Wormwood in the garden of Eden. Where it grows, all other crops fail.

We must support sustainability and that which can bring equity and justice. We must support the state of Palestine.

The living lie that is Israel will only be expunged when every last jew is driven from Palestine and the land returned to those who LEGITIMATELY own it.

antisemitic bullshit

Real justice for Palestine isn't about "driving the Jews out", it's about creating a society in which Arabs and Jews live together as equals.

Mods: please hide antisemitic comment by "Denny" and this reply.

"The living lie that is Israel will only be expunged when every last jew is driven from Palestine and the land returned to those who LEGITIMATELY own it."

Can't you understand the Israel would very much like a complete state of absolute hostility to exist toward Muslims and Islam and works tirelessly toward that end. That is the core environment in which Arabs can be killed off within a glorious orgy of violence in service to the Israeli fatherland. There has not been a single day since 1948 when the Israeli soldiery have not been working toward that end. If you use language like that, you are aiding and abetting a crime of the most supreme order.

If you are an activist, please do some more research. If you are an Israeli, please understand that your right to exist is not determined by those in Gaza or the West Bank, it is determined by us here in the free world. If you are an Israeli IDF soldier, shame on you and everything you belong to. In time, your brand of facism will cease.

If you are an English or Amerikaan Zionist, why are you here in the UK or US? Is Israel not safe enough for you! Does it not match the freedoms you have here? Do you not have the confidence to live the life you preach in the land you claim to love? What is it about our nation that is so superior to the nation you have spent so much time trying to create?

Never use the diatribe of your enemy, if you win...you win nothing.

For 'anonymous'

I suggest you post about Israel and Palestine when you have some knowledge of the region.

We know who needs to leave to prevent the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people, why don't you have the intellectual depth to understand as well ?

Land stolen by European 'chosen people' = never ending conflict.

Colonial invaders removed = peace in region.

Denny


Why they need to leave

15.02.2013 14:48

I think that most people who have a good knowledge of Israel and Palestine understand that the fundamental problem is that hundreds of thousands of European came to Palestine, stole the land from the people living there and drove the rightful owners out into refugee camps. Those Europeans are the ones that need to leave (their religion is immaterial) they are colonists and invaders and the old arguments about some of them being born there is irrelevant. The son or daughter of an invader is still an invader and they all need to leave.

Again.

I say again...

"If you are an English or Amerikaan Zionist, why are you here in the UK or US? Is Israel not safe enough for you! Does it not match the freedoms you have here? Do you not have the confidence to live the life you preach in the land you claim to love? What is it about our nation that is so superior to the nation you have spent so much time trying to create?"

Lies. Blatant racism. The usual arab hatred of the jew bullshit that we have to tolerate on a daily basis. You lot fire rockets day in, day out into Israel targetting innocent civilians and schools.


>> The living lie that is Israel will only be expunged when every last jew is driven from Palestine and the land returned to those who LEGITIMATELY own it.

You sound like a nazi. go and die


>> If you are an activist, please do some more research. If you are an Israeli, please understand that your right to exist is not determined by those in Gaza or the West Bank, it is determined by us here in the free world.

You have no authority or power to say that you can determine if an Israeli has a right to exist. Who do you think you are?! I have the right to completely ignore your claim that you can determine whether I exist or not. You're a little man who is weak and ineffectual. So what are you going to do about it apart from whine and bleat?


>> I think that most people who have a good knowledge of Israel and Palestine understand that the fundamental problem is that hundreds of thousands of European came to Palestine, stole the land from the people living there and drove the rightful owners out into refugee camps.

Yeah well deal with it. When the going gets tough, the tough get stuff. If they didn't have the wherewithal to protect their interests, then that's their problem. No borders.


>> "If you are an English or Amerikaan Zionist, why are you here in the UK or US? Is Israel not safe enough for you! Does it not match the freedoms you have here?

What a useless comment. Lame and pathetic -> Lathetic. Because I live here and my family, job and life are here!!!!! You comment is dumb. Total strawman argument so go back to the sandpit you arab troll

Well said that man !

The news wire has been trolled for months by that idiot 'anonymous' and people like him are part of the problem in Israel/Palestine/Occupied Territories. You just know he is the classic keyboard hero who thinks membership of a Palestinian support group makes him an expert.

What a tool !

Yikes!

The sky is filled with trolls crashing to the ground in a blazing furnace of epic hasbarian sadness.

Isn't that right @strong @Ben

P.S You haven't posted under the name Anarchist yet, are you slipping?
