Damascus Declaration: Placing All Terrorist Orgs on Terror Lists, Facing Them
2015-07-27
[ALMANAR.LB] A final statement was issued on Saturday, capping two days of activities within the International Media Conference against Terrorism held in Damascus.
al-Manure is of course the news outlet of Hezbollah, which once used a truck bomb to murder 299 American and French troops in Beirut.
The statement, named “Damascus Declaration”, called for placing all of the terrorist organizations on the UN and international terror lists and considering them “a common enemy” to all countries and people of the world.
That wouldn't include PFLP-GC, naturally, which is owned and operated by the Syrian government.
It demanded Security Council decisions and resolutions be issued to compel all countries to confront terrorism by all possible means and cut off support and funding support to terrorist organizations, SANA agency reported.
So they're giving up on their creatures, like the guys who assassinated Rafiq Hariri in Beirut?
The Declaration called for launching a systematic regional and international action with cooperation and coordination among all the countries on the political, security and military levels to organize confronting the terrorist organizations and come to holding to account any country that provides any form of support to them.
That'd be hits at Soddy Arabia and the Gulf states, and Israel of course.
Setting up an international legal system to prosecute the backers of terrorism
That would seem to fall under the heading of the ICC. We can see how well that's working.
and taking measures to ban media outlets from promoting the activities of terrorist organizations were focused on in the Declaration.
"Banning" such activities from "media outlets" is probably a hopeless proposition. In the U.S., as in lots of other countries, freedom of the press is a rule. Using such outlets to track down and kill (or convict if you're squeamish) would be much preferred.
Among other demands was providing support for the countries and governments facing terrorism, mainly Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Afghanistan, Tunisia and Algeria.
That's already the case for most of them. Algeria has been handling AQIM and its offshoots pretty well on its own. Egypt is tackling its Sinai problem, though it's too early to tell if they're going to be successful.
Drawing up a joint media work plan for spreading awareness of confronting takfiri thinking and refuting the so-called “Islamophobia” was also called for.
Islamophobia--the fear that Moslems will act like they usually do--is the natural fallout from their behavior. Individually they can be nice enough fellows, but in large numbers they are violent, offensive to the host country's culture, a danger to adolescent girls, and afflicted with delusions of religious grandeur.
The Declaration did not lose sight of the Palestinian Cause, stressing that this issue will remain at the core of the ongoing conflict with Israel, designating the latter as “the most dangerous epitome of state terrorism.”
Harboring, aiding, and abetting various violent Paleostinian groups is fine, y'see?
It stressed that the axis of the resistance is “the hope of the region’s countries” to get rid of injustice, repression, aggression and takfiri terrorism.
"Takfiri terrorism" is Moslems preying on other Moslems.
The participants in the conference announced the formation of a committee tasked with following-up on its outcomes as a prelude for launching an international media gathering against terrorism that would be based in Damascus.
Or wherever Assad sets up his government in exile.
At the end of the conference, the participants addressed a message to President Bashar al-Assad in which they hailed Syria’s “matchless steadfastness” in confronting the terrorist aggression, stressing that Syria, which is leading the war against terrorism, will remain the “haven of freedom-fighters in the world.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And everybody admires Kim Jong Un's hairstyle. Assad's people rose up in their wrath to topple him and his dynasty. It's the population's misfortune that the Moslem Brotherhood moved in to take advantage of it, and then the takfiri moved in after them.
