The 44th urgent session of the Arab Parliamentary Union Council concluded its deliberations in Syria on Sunday under the motto of "the Whole Arab Homeland is Syria."
| Does that mean the whole shebang is going to collapse when we beat up Syria? |
In a final statement, the Council expressed strong condemnation over the latest Israeli aggression on Syrian lands.
It stressed complete solidarity with Syria in confrontation of the US — Israeli pressures and threats expressing its appreciation over Syria's principled stances and her keen interest to achieve "just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East based on UN related resolutions and Madrid terms of reference." The Council asserted Syria's legitimate right to defend herself and protect her lands. It strongly denounced the US House of Representatives' approval on the so - called Syria Accountability Act considering this as a violation of international law and conventions. The Council urged the Arab states to stand by Syria and back her in confrontation of the Israeli aggressions and US pressures calling them to give priority to establish a deterrent balanced force that obliges the Arabs' enemies to reconsider their stances.
| "You guys hop on over here and keep them from beating the snot out of us, okay?" |
It condemned the "US total bias in favor Israel, its defence of Israel's aggression on Syria and giving it the political coverage to such act." The Council backed the Syrian draft resolution submitted to the UN Security Council to make the Middle East a region free of weapons of mass destruction. The Council expressed concern over Israel's continuation of violating Lebanon's water and airspaces.
| Sounds like the Council did everything but powder Syria's behind... |
