Syria Wants Lebanon To 'Stay Out' of Its War

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Syria on Wednesday said it wants Lebanon “to stay out” of its ongoing war, amid reports about an anticipated western strike on the neighboring country.

"We want Lebanon to stay away from the negative repercussions that are affecting the region,” Syria's ambassador to the United Nations Bashar al-Jaafari stated in a speech he gave at the headquarters of the U.N. in New York.

Al-Jaafari elaborated: "The results of regional turmoil can include terrorist operations launched by Salafist groups just like those that targeted (the southern city of) Sidon and (the northern city of) Tripoli.”

Syria does not want Lebanon to be a side in this war, he stressed.

Regarding Hizbullah's possible participation in the war, the Syrian envoy said: “If Israel launched an attack on Syria, we all know what would be the repercussions of such a step.”

Momentum has been building for international action against Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime after the suspected chemical strikes on August 21 which are said to have killed hundreds on the outskirts of Damascus.

However, Syria's deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Muqdad said the West had pushed anti-regime rebels to use poison gas, while blaming it on the government, as a pretext for a U.S.-led military intervention.

The neighboring country's premier Wael al-Halqi warned on Wednesday that Syria will turn into a "graveyard of the invaders" in case of a Western military intervention.

What a bunch of hypocrites. They hired the Lebanese chia Chabiha..... Hence are de facto involving the entire nation in «it's war». Not to mention the Syrian hand behind the two terrorist attacks of Dahyé and Trablous.....

So, yes..... Hypocrites they're!

When Syria and Lebanon will turn out like Iraq and anti chia, they'll start crying on our laps. They're burying themselves but don't get it yet. They'll open their eyes once it's too late. That's what happen when people follow leaders unconditionally without questioning their legitimacy.

Dude, seriously, you should not be lopping all Shi3a together with the Iranian Occupation Forces.

Thumb benzona 28 August 2013, 22:30

Oh Maxx, I'm not including all Chias... but as you perfectly described the terrorist branch, the "Iranian Occupation Force", will harm ALL chias of Lebanon. because when the explosive vests and cars will start blowing up in every corner of Lebanon (Iraqization FX) they will target them indiscriminately. Our Chabiha 'friends' are putting a huge bullseye on an entire sect. Mark my words...

Ok they occupied Lebanon for more than 30 years with their army and Moukabarat. They were behind so many assassinations of so many Lebanese politicians.. They interfere in every Lebanese internal matter. They used the help of Hizbullah to win some battles in Syria. They use Hizbullah as a tool to threaten the western countries... And now they don't want Lebanon to interfere in their war... Hypocrites can't even start to describe them... May they all burn in hell...
Till this day I still hear the sound of their bombs of their tanks and artilleries when they bombed Zahle and so many other cities in Lebanon... I want all those regime thugs to be hung, and I know it is coming…

Lebanon also wants Lebanon to stay out of Syria's war. It's just the Iranian part of Lebanon that is rushing where angels fear to tread...

And thank YOU Patriotic Syrian for setting phasers to DENY and shooting yourself in the foot, because obviously no horrors associated with the Syrian war have occurred in Da7yeh, in Tripoli, in Arsal, in Sidon, etc. Which world do you live in ya 7ayété?

Here is the correct analysis, something that we already know. So, Syria wants Lebanon to stay out, but regarding Hizbullah's possible participation in the war, If Israel launched an attack on Syria, bla, bla, bla. OK, had enough. So, the Syrian Mob Bosses are admitting that H.A. is not a Lebanese organization, not created to represent Lebanon's interest, performs and serves at the pleasure of Iran and Syria. I am now thinking that there is a true resistance deep inside of H.A., and that resistance, rightfully so, is directed towards the oppressive elements of the Sunni Clan. Like Muslin Bros, Al-Qaeda, etc. So, don't tell us you're resisting against Israel. What did your involvement in Syria's conflict do to liberate the Palestinians?

"Syrian Mob Bosses are admitting that H.A. is not a Lebanese organization, not created to represent Lebanon's interest, performs and serves at the pleasure of Iran and Syria."

H.A. has also finally started admitting this by declaring "their fate as tied to that of the asad regime"

Thumb Senescence 29 August 2013, 05:45

I think HA's own admission of choosing Iran rather than Lebanon when push comes to shove already proved that quite clearly.

Thumb ironlikelion 29 August 2013, 06:04

sure, but even today after all of this evidence has surfaced, too many people refuse to acknowlege the truth.

Thumb ironlikelion 29 August 2013, 06:19

Since the beginning actually, even though they claimed that their purpose was to protect lebanon, their actions provided clues that that this was not #1 on their agenda. Using civil infrastructure(hospitals, schools...)and civilian areas for their operational activities(weapons storage, attack launch...) without regard for the fact that this turns those sites into military targets. Not only that, but even antagonizing israel as to provoke retaliation and ensure that these areas suffer damage. This is clearly not in the interest of lebanon and extremely careless and irresponsible. A military that represents its state never operates in this manor; only terrorist groups(h.a., hamas...) that dont value life.

I have the dream for you all , Israel will not prevail , this is a mandate by God !
He shall send only his only son Jesus to prevail with a TRUE new world order to govern a NEW KINGDOM .
At this point in our time Israel is only a " Man Made " state . It does not exist in true sense nor biblical! It is written that only the son of God shall return as the ONLY KING of ISRAEL & shall govern accordingly !
At the moment you are all dreaming !
Follow the Scriptures & you shall be the only 1/3 that survives the Wrath of God !
That is written it is not a DREAM !

"you shall be the only 1/3 that survives the Wrath of God"
Unfortunately, Wolf, that is what happened to them in WWII.
Today is a completely new ball game, so get off your high horse and read your bible, Jesus was a Jew, Jews lived in the holy city of Jerusalem from time immemorial and you with your warped mind try to ignore that.
" Israel is only a " Man Made " state" So is Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the US, Russia, and all the other 194 members of the UN.

Jesus was a Jew... Yes. But he was the messiah that the Jews had been waiting for...Those that accepted and believed became the new chosen people... The christains. Those that rejected him were expelled and the temple was destroyed exactly to Jesus Christ's warnings. The expelled have now returned to spread war and division.

Before 1940s, 30% of the Palestinians were christain, living in peace with there Muslim neighbors. Now look at the middle east! Palestine is less than 5 % christain. Egypt, Iraq, syria and Lebanon... The christains are being cleansed from the land. No one cares that 67 churches in Egypt have been destroyed in the last month! No one care that 2 million Christians in Iraq have been exiled. No one cares that they are being targeted in Syria... Now the last bastion of christidom in the middle east, Lebanon, they are about to be engulfed by this Muslim civil war.

Thumb ado.australia 29 August 2013, 18:47

The Shia do not hate, nor do they oppress. Niether do the main stream Sunni. But the main stream Sunni tolerate salafi, al Qaida loving extremists that hate everyone that doesn't believe and practice their form of religion. This is the problem at the moment. The Ba'ath party, and Presidant Assad is now being portrayed as the good against this evil. I have always been against the Ba'ath Syrians, but now against this evil... We can only have one choice upon which to side.

The west doesn't give a crap about what happens in the middle east. Its so much easier for the whole middle east to be brushed with the same colour. Shame on all that side and encourage this oppression and religious and ethnic cleansing of the levant!

Some of what you stated is true, the rest is wishful thinking and also naive regarding what happens next. You realize what it means to have al-Qaeda barbarians in command of weapons that belong to an army? You realize what it means to have al-Qaeda barbarians go into civilian areas inhabited by non-Sunnis? You realize what it means to have al-Qaeda barbarians in Lebanon? That's a day none of my ancestors even imagined close to happening [again]. Beheadings and throat slitting, suicide car bombs, cannibalism, exploiting of children to train them on death and destruction... these are all signs of the lowest form of civilization. Nothing comes even close!
