Jumblatt: Syrian people have the right to side with the devil

Share:

jumblatt 112612Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Jumblatt said the Syrian people have the right to side with the devil,if they need to, except with Israel, against the regime of Syrian president Bashar al Assad.

“The Syrian people have the right to side with the devil — except with Israel — against the regime,” said Jumblatt.

Jumblatt was responding to a question during an interview with Al-Akhbar newspaper published on Wednesday, whether the Free Syrian army should side with the rebel Al-Nusra Front, a jihadist group which the U.S. lists as a “terrorist organisation’, in the Syrian conflict and also whether he supports Al-Nusra against the Syrian regime.

“I support Al-Nusra Front against the Syrian regime,” Jumblat stressed

“I am acting to protect the (Syrian) Druze. The Alawites (Assad’s community) will go back to their mountain, but the Druze live in a sea of Sunnis,” the PSP leader said.

While most anti-Assad rebels — like the majority of Syria’s population — are Sunni, the country’s minorities have mostly stayed on the sidelines of the two-year-old conflict in Lebanon’s neighbor.

Among them are Syria’s Druze, many of whom live in the Jabal Al Arab in the south near Daraa, a majority Sunni area which has been recognized as the flashpoint of the Syrian revolution.

The Alawites, meanwhile, come from the mountains of northwest Syria, between north Lebanon and Turkey.

In an interview with BBC published on Wednesday the commander of the Free Syrian Army General Salim Idriss said that Al-Nusra Front constitutes less than 2 % of the rebel fighters.

    WOW! If al-Nusra is the devil that puts Israel in his lingo way below…
    Funny he says that he is protecting the Druze because they live in a sea of Sunnis.
    Saying what he is saying about Israel it baffles me that he does not worry about the Druze of Israel.

      Except with Israel. What a whimp. ‘Politically Correct’ is the most useless type of thinking.
      Let’s face it. There really are no ‘Leaders’ here.

    Al Nusra so far attacking the military target of Bashar Al-Qaeda. This group are among many resistance group in Syria fighting their common enemy. USA and Europe already impose an arms embergo and they need some excuse to continue this embergo and allowing only Iran and Russia to arm assad. So they need to find some Al-Qaeda element as a pretext not to arm the rebel. We soon will find who this nusra are and what is there agenda. The Syrian Mujaheddin are sunnis who fought the occupation force and their shia helpers in Iraq and in Afghanistan. So arming the sunni mujaheddin in Syria means shoot in the foot. Can Europe and America be able to convince the sunni mujaheddin NOT to overthrow the pro Iranian Shia puppet in Iraq ,Libya and in Afghanistan ? I dont think so and the occupation force knows it better than us. Thats why after two years of slaughter in Syria we still see the debate of to arm or not to arm the Mujaheddin. In the mean time the Mujaheddin are capturing huge stockpile of arms from Bashar Al Qaeda. The latest helicopter shot down was by a Chinese FN6 shoulder based AA missile. Here is the Youtube Video of Chinese FN6 in action in Syria

        No one support the Alqaeda ,its imposed on the Sunni resistance as their supposed resistance group. We have seen hundreds of Brigades in Syria and none of them ever name as Alqaeda . Its like putting the dirty propaganda to ones mouth. Al Qaeda means toilet. Ana richa Alqaeda means I wan to go to the toilet. This propaganda will fall on the shia and the Sufis who have been playing Alqaeda game to demonize the sunni resistance. The Syrian revolution have changed the course and now it will backfire on the Al Majoos

    They say power corrupt people,as true as that is, I think the fear of loosing power corrupt even more.
    Jumblat has a way about himself that seems to always say; I only have one life to live, let me live it as shameless person.
    Not only He is a hypocrite,but a war criminal who behaves like “whore” who lectures others on purity.
    Even “whores” are much honest than Lebanese “leaders”;They usually set their price and present the bill immediately.
    The sad part is that clan leaders are adored and worshiped by their supporters regardless of what they do or do not do.
