Ayoon Wa Azan (Israel Does Not Want His Downfall)
Published in AL HAYAT on 20 - 09 - 2012

There will be no solution in Syria, today, tomorrow, or thereafter, and no winners or losers. There will be no national settlement, no end in the foreseeable future to the suffering of the Syrian people.
As I write this, I hope I am wrong. I hope that we will see a solution, any solution, this very week, but I am trying to objective. Objectivity, like oil, however, is a depleting substance. Whoever tries to see things as they are, not as the government or the opposition wishes them to be, will immediately be accused of being a terrorist from al-Qaeda, or an agent of America and Israel.
Iran wants a solution that suits its interests, extremism and meddling in the affairs of neighbouring countries. Such a solution, if it ever saw the light, would be at the expense of the Syrian people, now and in the future.
The Arab countries and Turkey are trying to support the opposition, but they are less vulgar than the regime of the Ayatollahs in Qom. They don't send “advisers" or militants, like the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps does, but only money and weapons from afar.
The United States has declared that it would not intervene militarily in Syria, and I believe that this position will not change before the U.S. presidential on the sixth of November. If Barack Obama returns to the White House, then non-intervention will remain the stated policy of his administration.
Israel is inciting against the Syrian regime every day, but does not want its downfall because its border with Syria has been calm for 30 years, but it wants the regime to remain in a state of collapse. Indeed, Israel is attempting to find an opportunity in the raging civil war to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons stockpile, alleged to be in its possession, and I read every day claims about the dangers of these weapons falling into the hands of al-Qaeda.
Israel's Nazism has reached such an extent that Amos Yadlin, former head of Israeli military intelligence, wrote an article whose title spares me the need to explain any further. The title was “Only bombing Assad's forces will stop the slaughter now".
Why not bomb Yadlin? His past must surely justify it. Why not bomb Israel's forces? They are occupation forces that murder women and children, and occupy and destroy. Every member of them, and of the Israeli government, is a war criminal with enough evidence to warrant being summoned to the international war crimes tribunal.
In the meantime, several international organizations, including the United Nations and international human rights organization, are in agreement that the killing of civilians in Syria is increasing every day, and that some in the opposition have committed war crimes just like the regime forces did.
We will no doubt see a day when the suspects will face international tribunals, as had happened with some of Serb leaders after the war there. The UN now has a list of individuals and military units suspected of committing acts of terrorism.
The Syrian opposition is also under accusation. It is divided, allowing terrorists and thieves to infiltrate its ranks under the banner of the revolution. Now, there is the Free Syrian Army, the National Army, the Military Council, the Political Military Council in Aleppo, and the Revolutionary Council in Homs.
I also heard about attempts to unify the armed battalions in Damascus. Before that, I heard that the experience of the Aleppo Council in unifying the armed resistance deserves to be emulated, but I have found no real progress after that.
Furthermore, there is an operations room for the armed opposition in Turkey, and the United States plays a direct role in this regard. Jordan has also stepped up its role in dealing with the opposition, which says that Jordan will soon join the group made up of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey in building organized military action.
I concluded my last article on Syria a week ago by saying that I condemn both the regime and the opposition. I still hold this view, because the regime was able to find other solutions than violence, and the opposition is harming its own cause through its division – although it has in its ranks honest patriots who only want to save their country.
In the end, to repeat what I said in the beginning, a solution to the crisis remains out of reach.
