's position on the Syrian crisis, saying that he should have taken a stance towards the Syrian people that is "more in line with the liberation role he played in the South."

He said in his weekly editorial in the PSP-affiliated al-Anbaa magazine: "He was better off not referring to one of the symbols of oppression against the Syrian people as a comrade-in-arms."

He made his remark in reference to Nasrallah's statement that Assef Shawkat, slain brother-in-law of the Syrian president, is a "comrade-in-arms who backed the Paleostinian resistance in Gazoo and backed us in the July war."

Shawkat was killed last week in an kaboom that targeted the Syrian National Security building.

Jumblat continued: "Those who defend the Paleostinian people and their legitimate demands for freedom cannot stand against the Syrian people and their rightful demands."
