"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

MK Kara: Syria dissidents sought Israel's help- YNET News

Knesset Member Ayoob Kara said Saturday that Syrian opposition figures turned to him and asked that he help convince the international community to act against President Bashar Assad.

Speaking at an event in Beersheba, Kara said that he presented the request to the government, “which refused to intervene.”

"The Syrian opposition asked for my help, because of my connections; they wanted me to turn to the Israeli government so it would support them through various means, utilizing the United Nations, the United States and the European Union against the Assad regime."

The Likud MK said that he cultivated secret ties in Syria, thereby enabling many Syrians to arrive in Israel for medical care.

Addressing regional tensions, Kara added that he fears further Iranian rapprochement with Syria.

“I will not be sitting and waiting for Ahmadinejad to drop a bomb on me from Syria,” he said, adding that he would like to do everything in his power to prevent an Iranian takeover of Syria.

“I sacrificed everything for this country; my two brothers. I was shell-shocked and I’m willing to sacrifice my children too, in order to prevent Syria from turning into Iran,” he said.

Five Books on Syria – Recommended by Nikolas van Dam- The Browser

The veteran Dutch diplomat explains why meaningful political change in Syria will be difficult to achieve – and warns that any move towards democracy is likely to be accompanied by severe sectarian tension

What is your view of the situation now – is the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, going to be able to stay in power?

This is very difficult to predict and anything can happen. But he won’t be toppled just because of the demonstrations. If he is going to be toppled it will come from within the armed forces. But just like his father [Hafez al-Assad], he has been clever, putting trusted people in strategic places. And the troops that are taking harsh action against the demonstrators are not just military conscripts, they are his most reliable forces.

The regime has been very stable for decades because it is dominated by [Shia Muslim] Alawites, and Alawite officers are in key positions. They trust one another, they come from the same region, sometimes the same villages. It’s not so much about religion (in fact it isn’t that important) but more about the social relationships and trust. At the same time, this Alawite factor is also a weakness of the regime. It’s very difficult to transform an Alawi-dominated regime into a democracy. On the road from this dictatorship to democracy, there are many possibilities for enormous violence and for bloody conflict. In a way, it’s a miracle that the demonstrators have been able, in general, to be peaceful. I think this could be the key to their success – if they can maintain that. If you are peaceful, there is no need for the regime to shoot, to put down the demonstrations with violence.

But, hypothetically speaking, if the regime were to relinquish its privileged position and move towards a more democratic system, it’s likely that the majority community, the Sunnis, would not be very forgiving or very tolerant towards these Alawis. I would expect there to be a bloody confrontation, and a strong probability of sectarian polarisation between the Alawite community and the Sunnis even though a dictatorship generally applies to the whole population. Like in Iraq – Saddam Hussein was a dictator who relied to a great extent on people from his own town, Tikrit. That didn’t mean that many people there weren’t also suffering from his dictatorship. In the same way, many, many people from the Alawite community are suffering from this dictatorship. Sometimes even more, because potentially they are more dangerous to the regime because they can operate from within.....

Suriye Ne Pahasına Olursa Olsun Milli ve Ulusal Tutumlarından Caymayacak- SANA Türkçe

ŞAM – Yetkili resmi bir kaynak dün; Suriye Arap Cumhuriyetinin, ulusal güvenliği korumanın yanında belirli bir zaman cetveli içinde ekonomik, sosyal ve politik reformları sürdürmede kapsamlı ulusal bir diyaloga girdiği bir zamanda AB’nin Suriye ve halkına karşı aldığı kararları reddettiğini ve kınadığını belirtti.

AB’nin çıkardığı bu kararların, ABD’nin aldığı kararlar gibi Suriye'nin içişlerine açık ve net bir şekilde iç müdahaleyi amaçladığını ifade eden kaynak; Suriye'nin istikrar ve güvenliğini sarsma, halkının olanak ve kararlarını hegemonya altına almayı hedeflediğini söyledi.

Resmi kaynak; eski sömürü devletleri ve Sykes-Picot Anlaşmasının sahipleri İngiltere ve Fransa'nın Suriye ve bölge halklarının güvenliğini dikkate almaksızın bu kararların alınmasında temel bir rol oynadıklarını belirtti...
