Can Syria become a graveyard for Al-Qaeda men?
It seems that thousands of Jihadists have travelled or are on their way to Syria in response to the call of Dr Ayman Al-Zawahiri, Al-Qaeda leader. Knowing this, one may ask why the leaders of Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia accept to facilitate the movement of men, money, equipment and weapons through their territories in support of the armed resistance to Dr Al-Assad regime? Furthermore, why the American, the British, the German, the French and the Israeli intelligence and special-forces are directely involved in the training of fighters before sending them across the Turkish or the Jordanian borders to join the fight? Following the long-awaited announcement from the head of the Nusrat Front, that his organisation is in fact a branch of Al-Qaeda; all of above leaders and countries started to run for cover. Because of the large number of players currently involved in Syria, one expects a diversity of tactics and strategies, these are:
1.
The USraelis aim is to fragment Syria and to destroy its armed forces as they constitute a threat to Israel.
2.
Egypt, Jordan, Yemen,Tunisia and Libya want to get rid of the Salafists and hard-core Jihadists.
3.
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, UK and US aim at weakening Iran and Hezbullah.
4.
Luring Al-Qaeda men to the killing fields of Syria will strengthen the position of moderate Islamists that accept USraeli designs for the Middle East.
5.
The Iranians and the Russians share with the Americans the need to eliminate Al-Qaeda and allowing moderate resistance fighters to negotiate a way out of the current bloody impasse in Syria.
6.
Iraq will benefit if Al-Qaeda fighters were to leave Ramadi,Tikrit, Diala and Mosul and go to get killed in Syria.

At the time when pro-American Arabs are financing the armed insurrection in Syria, the USraeli special-forces are training Islamists fighters in Jordan and Turkey. Ironically, Hamas military wing of Al-Qassam Brigade has been supporting the same Syrian opposition groups and is currently training fighters near Damascus in preparation for the final assault on the capital using Vietnamese-style attack tunnels. The situation is extremely puzzling to everyone. Hamas, which is considered as a terrorist organization by the USraelis is aligning itself with the Nusrtat Front, which is also on the USraeli terrorist list. The Nusrat Front's fighters are hard-core fundamentalists and Salafists recruited from Tunisia, Iraq, Egypt, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Turkey and Libya. Furthemore, the Nusrat Front is the most active on the ground: using money, training and weapons supplied directly or indirectly by the USraelis, France, the UK, Hamas, Libya, Egypt, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. One has to mention here that Nusrat Front and Hamas are vehement anti-USraelis. So what makes all these hedgehogs hugging each other and fighting in the same trench? The answer is Iran. The Americans have another objective that is to divert Al-Qaeda's attention away from attacking Western targets to attacking those of Arabs and Muslims.
Disregarding all post Assad consequences, the USraeli special-forces will go on hunting down fighters of Hamas and the Nusrat Front. Iran and Hezbullah will have another day.
If the UK hold a referendum in Bradford , people there may choose to join Pakistan or India. Holding a referendum in the Falklands(Malvinas) is like asking the Israeli settlers whether they would like to live in the West bank or going back to where they came from! It is nonsense from A-Z and the crafty British could think of something more intelligent.

One must be surprised to see the Islamists, who are vehemently anti-Israeli, accept money, arms and support from Israeli supporters led by the USA, Britain, France, Jordan and Qatar. It seems that the USraelis are hoping that the Shiat and Sunni Islamists will kill each and end up both losing; following the toppling of the Al-Assad Regime. There is always an American contingency plan if, for example, the pro-Al Qaeda Nusrta Front comes out a winner. Its members and leaderships will be chased and killed as terrorists similar to the Al-Qaeda men who helped the CIA to defeat the Russians in Afghanistan.
As for the Islamists who answered Dr Al-Zawahiri's call and rushed in hundreds to Syria, they believe that God is on their side and that the USraeli infidels will be defeated and Jerusalem will be liberated. In other words, both the Islamists and their USraeli mentors are turning in circles with knives ready to be stuck in each other’s backs.
Many Arab and Muslim leaders, especially in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Morocco, Jordan, Pakistan, Mauritania and Pakistan are ready to contribute in order to get rid of the fundamentalists threatening their rules.
But the situation on the ground in Syria makes it difficult for any meaningful prediction of post Assad scenario. It is like a German Eintopf. The Palestinians, who are against Israel in Gaza, are helping Israeli agents with Jordanian IDs in Damascus. The Kurds and PKK members who are against Turkey are collaborating with Turkish-Special forces. The CIA whose drones are killing Al-Qaeda men in Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan are busy setting up training camps for Al-Qaeda men before sending them into Syria. The Russian and Iranian agents are collaborating for the first time in order to protect Bashar Al-Assad.
Taking the above controversial aspects into consideration, many observers believe that everyone will end up a loser in post-Assad Syria, especially, the USraelis and their allies and agents.

Popular Leaders Like Chavez will always be opposed by the US
Started by Adnan Darwash, Mar 07 2013 04:50 AM
Hugo Chavez has gone but those whom he helped remain living in homes he built, treated in hospitals invested in and their children frequent schools and universities he established. That is after nationalizing the oil industry and investing the oil proceeds not in NY or Swiss banks but on the country infrastructure and on the people. But the poor people are unable to hire journalists or to invest on US lobbyists. To the contrary, the oil companies are able to invest on US Senatoars and politicians to influence US politics and to castigate Venezuela and tarnish the image of Commandante Hugo Chavez. That is why the millions of people marching behind Chavez coffin are chanting revolutionary slogans to the displeasure of the US government who choose to side with the oppressors of Latin America and never with the oppressed. It is rather disappointing reading and hearing the statements coming from Obama Whitehouse. One can easily conclude that Uncle Tom Obama is ready to side with those who enslaved the blacks as long as they donate generously to the Democratic Party.
Despite all these crimes Israel is not a Terorist State!!!!

Some of the Known Israeli crimes and violations in the WEST
AUSTRALIA
The Australian foreign ministry was reluctant to pursue the arrest and death of an Australian-Israeli citizen, Ben Zygier who died in Aylon prison by hanging in 2010. Furthermore, Australia didn't act when on January 2010, MOSSAD assassins killed Mohammed Al-Mabhouh using among others, Australian passports, probably obtained by Mr Ben Zygier. Another Australian citizen of Israeli decent is no other that the former nuclear worker Mordachai Vanunu, prevented from leaving Israel after spending 15 years in solitary confinement.
AUSTRIA
The operation to kill Al-Mabhuh in UAE was launched from Austria where an Israeli death squad (Kidon) is situated, assisted by local Jewish people and organizations like El AL airline offices. As far as 1964, Kidon managed to assassinate in Vienna an Iraqi Air force Officer using a prostitute, a nurse and an Iraqi Jew, named Ezra.
BELGIUM
The Mossad is responsible for the killing of Canadian engineer and ballistic expert Gerald Bull on March 22, 1990. He was shot multiple times in the head outside his Brussels apartment. Bull was at the time working on Iraq Project Babylon super Gun.
CYPRUS
MOSSAD had killed Palestinian Hussein Al-Bashir in Nicosia, Cyprus, in 1973.
FRANCE
In France, where MOSSAD maintains a training school, the highets number of MOSSAD assassinations took place, these are:
The killing of Zuheir Mohsen a pro-Syrian member of the PO in 1979.
The killing of Atef Beseiso, a top intelligence officer of thePLO in Paris in 1992. French police believe that a team of assassins followed Atef Bseiso from Berlin, where that first team connected with another team to close in on him in front of a Left Bank hotel, where he received three head-shots at point blank range.
The killing of an Egyptian Scientist Yehia Al-Mashad on June 13, 1980 by an Israeli prostitute; probably by former Israeli foreign Minister Livni who admitted getting approval from the Chief Rabbi to work as a prostitute while employed as MOSSAD agent in France.
The killing of Palestinin Dr. Mahmoud Hamshari, with an exploding telephone in his Paris apartment in 1972.
The killing in 1973 of Dr. Basil Al-Kubaissi, an Iraqi mathematician who represented the PFLP in Paris.
The killing of Mohammad Boudia, member of the PFLP, in Paris in 1973.
On April 5, 1979, Mossad agents have triggered an explosion which destroyed 60 percent of components being built in Toulouse for an Iraqi reactor. The reactor itself was subsequently destroyed by an Israeli air strike in 1981.
The Mossad assisted Moroccan king in the disappearance killing of dissident politician Mehdi Ben Baraka, in 1979
Germany
The sending of letter bombs during operation Wrath of God. Some of the more famous examples of the Mossad letter bombs were those sent to Nazi war-criminal Alois Brunner.
The targeted killing of Palestinan Dr Wadie Haddad, of PFLP-EO, using poisoned chocolate, in 1978.
Mossad have been involved in industrial espionage in Germany. In the late 1990s, the head of the BfV reportedly warned his department chiefs that Mossad remained a prime threat in stealing the country's latest computer secrets.
GREAT BRITAIN
In 1986, Mossad used an undercover agent (Presumably Robert Maxwell) to lure nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu from Australia to London where he was later kidnapped and transported to Israel via Italy.
During Margaret Thatcher's days in government, 10 fake British Passports were caught destined for MOSSAD.
GREECE
The killing of Zaiad Muchasi, Fatah representative to Cyprus, by an explosion in his Athens hotel room in 1973
ITALY
The killing of PLO representative Wael Zwaiter.
MALTA
The killing of Fathi Shiqaqi. Shiqaqi a leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, was shot several times in the head in 1995 in front of the Diplomat Hotel in Sliema, Malta.
NORWAY
On July 21, 1973, Ahmed Bouchiki, a Moroccan waiter in Lillehammer, Norway, was killed by Mossad agents. He had been mistaken for Palestinian Ali Hassan Salameh. The Mossad agents had used fake Canadian passports. Six Mossad agents were arrested then released after paying compensation to the Bouchiki family.
SWITZERLAND
In February 1998, five Mossad agents were caught wiretapping the home of a Hezbollah agent in a Bern suburb. Four agents were freed, but the fifth was tried, found guilty, sentenced to one year in prison, and following his release was banned from entering Switzerland for five years.
Ukraine
In February 2011, a Palestinian engineer, Dirar Abu Seesi, was pulled off a train by Mossad agents en route to the capital Kiev from Kharkiv. He had been planning to apply for Ukrainian citizenship, and reappeared in an Israeli jail only 3 weeks after the incident
Israel is also accused of posioning president Yasser Arafat.
Right now, a branch of Kidon is established in Azerbaijan launching operations to assassinate Iranian nuclear scientists.
It is clear that MOSSAD may get the credit but it is helped and protected by the US-led West.
It is a travesty of logic that a terrorist* like Bibi Netanyahu calls on the European Union to treat Hizbullah as a terrorist organization while is on the head of a government with so much assassinations and crimes in the the various countries of the European Union.
•In 1978, Bibi Netanyahu led a commando unit that blown up 10 civilian air crafts at Beirut Airport. It was the US veto that protected Israel and Netanyahu from being labeled as terrorists by the UN. Before that, Menachem Begin and Itzhaq Shamir were considered as terrorists by the British Empire and went to become Israeli Prime ministers.

A Friend from Newzealand has sent me this which shows to what extent Mossad goes in order to obtain a fake passport.
'Mossad spies' jailed over New Zealand passport fraud
David Fickling in Sydney
The Guardian, Friday 16 July 2004 12.05 BST
The prime minister of New Zealand angrily denounced Israel and imposed diplomatic sanctions on it after two suspected Mossad agents were jailed for six months for trying on false grounds to obtain a New Zealand passport.
The plot, which involved obtaining a passport in the name of a tetraplegic man who had not spoken in years, provoked a furious reaction yesterday.
"The breach of New Zealand laws and sovereignty by agents of the Israeli government has seriously strained our relationship with Israel," said the prime minister, Helen Clark.
"This type of behaviour is unacceptable internationally by any country. It is a sorry indictment of Israel that it has again taken such actions against a country with which it has friendly relations."
High-level visits between the two countries will be cancelled, visa restrictions imposed for Israeli officials, and an expected visit to New Zealand by Moshe Katsov, the Israeli president, later this year has been cancelled.
Ms Clark said Israel had ignored requests made three months ago for an explanation and an apology.
The action marks the most serious rupture in New Zealand's international relations since Wellington suspended diplomatic relations with France in 1985 after French agents bombed Greenpeace's anti-nuclear ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour.
The Mossad plot was uncovered in March when a passport officer noticed that a passport applicant was speaking with a Canadian or American accent.
The clue led to the uncovering of a complex conspiracy involving up to four Israeli agents, who had attempted to create a false identity for 36-year-old Zev Barkan, another suspected Israeli spy, using a fraudulent birth certificate, a fake voicemail message and letter box, and concocted medical symptoms.
Uriel Kelman, 30, and Eli Cara, 50, were each sentenced to six months in prison yesterday for their involvement in the plot. Both men had gone to elaborate steps to conceal their identities: Kelman appeared at the court wearing a balaclava and covered his face throughout the two-hour hearing, while Cara had changed his hair colour, complexion and build since his first court appearance in March.
Mr Barkan and a fourth man believed to have been connected to the plot are still on the run. Mr Barkan lived in a house just a few hundred metres from his target, a wheel-chair user who has not been named for legal reasons. Cara set up a false travel agency in Sydney to aid the deception.
A birth certificate was obtained using details of the man's mother, who now lives in England, and an Auckland doctor was persuaded to witness Mr Barkan's passport application after seeing him for a couple of minor ailments.
Kelman and Cara were arrested in March following a prolonged cat-and-mouse game in Auckland when police traced phone records between Mr Barkan and the two men.
Officers planned to arrest the ringleaders as they picked up the completed passport, but Cara had pre-empted this by having it sent by courier to an apartment block, where it was to be collected by a taxi driver and taken to a rendezvous with Kelman elsewhere in Auckland.
Police surveillance caught Cara acting suspiciously, close to the central Auckland apartment block, while Kelman was arrested after fleeing the other rendezvous and throwing his mobile phone into a hedge.
Israel's acting ambassador in Australia, Orma Sagiv, said Israel would work to rebuild relations with New Zealand.
"Israel values its relations with New Zealand very much and we will do everything we can to return relations to their former situation," she said.
In Jerusalem, Silvan Shalom, the Israeli foreign minister, said Israel was disappointed with New Zealand's reaction.
"Israel is very sorry about the decision that was taken by the [New Zealand] government," Mr Shalom said. "But we believe that if we will work one with each other as we used to work in the past, we will overcome the last difficulty."
Mossad has frequently been accused of using fake passports to launch its operations. A 1997 incident in which Mossad agents used fake Canadian passports in an attempt to assassinate the Hamas leader, Sheikh Khaled Mashal, caused the Israeli ambassador to be ordered out of Canada until Tel Aviv promised to cease the practice.
Another message came from France. It says that in 1954, MOSSAD agents suspected an army officer Alexander Avener Israel of passing information to the Egyptians. They kidnapped him from Paris, put him on a military plane but died after three injections of drugs. His body was dumped in the sea and MOSSAD released inormation that he left to Latin America.
"Oil is the Black Gold. The Gold goes to the West, we get the rest" A Libyan University Student, Mr Ali Al-Shilmany, wrote the above in 1975.
Young People of major oil producer countries like Saudi Arabia are not interested in doing anything that involves the use of hands. They like to hold managerilal posts (All chiefs no Indians) and come to the office to pray and to chat with guests over cups of coffee. The meaningful work is carried out by expatriates who outnumber the Saudis by a ratio of 3 to 1. Oil did make Saudi Arabia to lose its people.
The current rise in Islamophobia is not caused by Al-Qaeda but by the fear of the increase in the number of Muslims in the world. Don't forget that Islam calls for equality between people and recognizes Judaism and Christianity. In this regard, Islam appeals to the untouchables, blacks and dispossessed.

Mr Milbur,
I do agree that there is a difference between Nazi-style Zionism and Judaism. Islam recognized Moses as a holy prophet and the Torah as a holy book. As a Catholic, have you ever wondered why Christians support Zionism while Jews never recognize Jesus or Christianity? In my writings I do expose Zionist killing machines supported mostly by 'Christians'.

Why the Senators didn’t ask Clinton about US foreign policy?
Started by Adnan Darwash, Jan 23 2013 07:00 AM
Today 23.01.13, the Senate Foreign Relation Committee asked Secretary of State Hilary Clinton about the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya and the killing of US Ambassador on September 11, 2012. But as usual, the questions of the well-groomed Senators created neither heat nor light. The emphasis was mainly on the inadequacy of the security measure at the consulate; which is basically outside her terms of reference. It would nave been more appropriate for the Senate Foreign Relation Committee to ask the Secretary of State about the failure of US foreign policy which causes so much hatred for anything American: including the facilities and personnel of Diplomatic missions, Oil Corporations and even Educational Institutions. It is not enough to talk about training of police officers in Tunis, Cairo or Amman or in asking for an increase in the budgetary allocations of the State Department. It is much more than this. To start with, people don’t believe that the US promotes democracy and freedom with its long-term flirting with ruthless Dictators and embracing the backward Saudi regime. America doesn’t pay attention to human rights with kidnapping, torture and detention of people without trial at Guantanamo bay. The Americans arm, finance and support the rogue state of Israel despite being in breach of 39 UN Security council resolutions. The Americans are killing people with impunity using drones. And finally, the Americans are imposing sanctions on mostly Muslim countries. The above are the reasons which cause so much anti-American feeling in most Muslim and Arab countries and in generating support for people like Al.Qaeda. If the current US foreign policy continues no amount of security would protect US interests and it will be beyond the capability of able Clinton or her successor, John Kerry.

France may trigger a war between the West and the Islamists
Started by Adnan Darwash, Jan 18 2013 02:09 AM
The West and the Islamists have agendas that may meet or contradict each other. Secular leaders like Saddam, Assad and Gaddafi have imprisoned, tortured and killed Islamists, sometimes with Western help. As a tactic, the fundamentalists accepted Western help to topple secular governments hoping to settle scores with the USraeli-led West on a later date.This is precisely what has happened in Libya where the US ambassador, Christopher Evans was killed on September 11, 2012, the 11th anniversary of 9/11 by no other than Al-Qaeda men. These 'rebels' were financed by Qatar and Saudi Arabia, supported by Jordanian, British and French Special-forces on the ground, armed by the CIA and its affiliated agencies, NATO planes were used as their airforce while the US cruise missiles pestered Gaddafi radars and defences.
The attack on the US consulate in Benghazi was in retaliation for the role of the CIA and MI-6 in the arrest and handing of Libyan Islamists to Gaddafi where they were imprisoned and torured.
The on-going French-led war on Islamists in Mali may trigger an open war between the militant Islamists with their newly found strength and the West, threatening Western interests and nations from Nigeria to Somalia. Ironically, the rebels in Mali use arms supplied to them in Libya by former president of France, N. Sarkozy in order to topple Gaddafi.
As long as the Wise Europeans are infected with the chronically short sighted US foreign policy, there will be more ironies, miltary interventions and violence. The US plays a major role in the appointment of key officials in NATO, the European Union and individual European Governments, mainly to serve US interests and ensuring the security of Israel; not necessarily to serve Europe's Vital interests.
The ground in the M.E. grows religious and political weeds as well as useful fruits and crops. The M.E. that produced the three great religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam is currently infested with tribes fighting each other and practice cruelty and violence that predated Moses, Jesus and Mohammed. For example, the message of Moses "Though shall not kill" has been converted by his followers into a campaign of assassination with impunity. The followers of Jesus wage perpetual wars throughout the world disregarding his message of "love and forgiveness". And the followers of Mohammed, the lord of "equality between all people" and who recognized Moses and Jesus as holy profits, justify killing Muslims, Christians and Jews after labeling them as infidels. Naturally, there are good Jews, Christians and Muslims, but they are becoming an extinct breed.
In the short term, things don't look good and killings by sophisticated machines or by primitive means will continue for the foreseeable future. What a waste! After investing so much on education and culture the world went to produce ruthless killers like, Catholic Hitler, Jewish Sharon, Muslim Saddam or Protestant G.W. Bush.
Like talking to a wall!
When highly-educated and moderate Dr Khatemi of Iran suggested a dialogue between civilisations, the US labelled his country Iran as member of the "Axis of Evil". The Iranians stayed away from Khatemi and went to vote for Ahmefinejad. Similarly, Yasser Arafat called for a just peace, but he was poisoned, his PLO was undermined and the Palestinians went to vote for Hamas. To whom should you talk these days while Western Democracies are manipulated by greedy cartels promoting wars, sanctions and hatred between nations. It is like the Jewish Rabbi who prayed for peace for 40 years infront of the wailing wall. When asked whether God has answered in prayers, he said " No, it was like talking to a wall."
