Angry Arab: When will there be an article in the Columbia Journalism Review about the lousy Western media coverage of Syria? Â What about the claim that the Syrian “rebels” arrested 3 (just three) members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who were allegedly participating in the repression in Syria–as if the repressive regime needs advice and help in repression? Â Of course, it turned out that the three were none other than those Iranian engineers who were kidnapped in Syria weeks earlier. Â Will the lousy Western media ever expose or reveal one lie by the Syrian opposition? Â One lie, not two? Â And what about their claims that Hizbullah fighters are also participating in the killing? Â I mean, if they tomorrow claim that Cuban soldiers were shooting in Syria, I am sure that the Western media would publish the claim and bring a terrorism expert to confirm. Â I must confess, I have never seen a worse coverage of Arab affairs like I have seen in the coverage of Syria in the last few months. Â It is more blatantly propagandistic than the coverage that led to the American invasion of Iraq. Â I mean, at one point, a Lebanese Army truck was passing in a street in Damascus, and Syrian National Council websites and Saudi media published the picture and claimed that Lebanese Army soldiers are also participating in repression in Syria. Â The Lebanese Army had to issue a statement to explain what that lone truck was doing in Damascus.

Yeah, Of course, Syria is acting alone. Hezbollah and Iran are the innocent players that have nothing to do with the riots. ….
You see people, this is when we say that Arabs Hate Israel more than they love themselves. Who cares Syria is killing its own citizens?! Who cares Iran is assisting Syria as long as Hezbollah stays in power and they can kill Israelis?!
People like Angry Arab and Ipouya have claim to “humanity” when it comes to “Palestinian Cause” or anything that would harm Israel’s interest, however when it comes to anything that would simply go against that would be identified as “not credible”. IT has to do with their hatred for Israel that exceed anything even when it comes to loss of innocent lives on their own side. .
I generally don’t like to respond to your comments. I don’t want to legitimize them with the courtesy of a response because they are almost always lacking in content and are ripe with personal attacks.
But every so often when I sense you’re getting “poru” and I have to come and set you straight.
First, I noticed that you still cowardly hide your identity. Let me help you with your manhood: Your name is Arash Kahen.
Second, unlike you, I have been very consistent with my views. It was just a couple months ago when I wrote that post saying that Bashar al-Assad had lost all legitimacy and should step down. I said that anytime a regime opens fire on its people, it loses legitimacy and the right to rule. This is when you came and said that you usually disagree with me but that you were liked my post. Do you remember that or does your lack of intelligence and hateful nature cause you to forget such things?
Here’s the post to jog your memory:

The thing is, I do not like to acknowledge your praise of me because you are no barometer for virtue. In fact, when you praise me, I feel like I’m doing something wrong, which is when I had to remind you that the logic of my post extended to Israel since it is by its very design an ethnic cleansing operation and totally lacks legitimacy. It was created by force and sustains itself by force. Like al-Assad, anytime Israel uses force and murders to prolong its occupation, it chips away at its legitimacy.
Furthermore, in keeping with consistency, I didn’t blog about anything for virtually 6 months after Iran’s election crisis documenting all that was going on.
You, on the other hand, continue to advocate for freedom for regimes that are hostile to your state’s ethnic cleansing operation while supporting the endless occupation of Palestine (not only supporting by blogging but you actually physically partook in it as an occupation soldier).
Thus, you are by no means anyone that can judge me. Far from it, you are judged.
By the way, Aliza says hi, lol.
Bang Bang!
The whole Syrian uprising is a lie. Stop supporting the war narative:

Arab Mission to Syria concluded these are armed gangs that are firing at people and police, including shelling the cities.
The French reporter that was assassinated was found to have been killed by the opposition forces, a study by French themselves. Even mentioned by the French UN representative this week at the SC meeting. Why? he had filmed the “opposition” or better known the armed thugs killing people indiscriminately!!
The Arab mission to Syria disagrees, which is why Qatar tried to kill the report and did not present it to the UNSC.
