Syria's UN Envoy Hits the Heart of the Matter at the UNSC Discussion on the Arab League Resolution
Syria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Bashar al-Jafari, during his presentation at the UNSC debate on the Arab League Resolution on Jan. 31 that called for removal of the Syrian President by the United Nations, addressed the heart of the matter when he said, "The wild tendency of some Western countries to interfere in our internal and external affairs by all means is not new or accidental, but it is a systematic and continued approach since the Sykes-Picot agreement in 1916 and Balfour Declaration in 1917, and through the unlimited support to Israel in its aggressive polices and its occupation of the Arab territories."
Incidentally, the Arab League resolution is riding on the shoulders of two colonial powers, Britain and France, and their official backer, United States.
During the debate, Ambassador al-Jafari turned to Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, who is doing the leg work for the London/Paris/Washington-orchestrated Syrian regime-change policy, and asked him: Who are you representing here? NATO, or the Arab League?
Al-Jafari cited news reports by western media that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are financing the smuggling of arms to Syria, calling on Qatar to stop its al-Jazeera's distortions and lies, and calling on other neighboring countries to stop hosting the armed opposition, which bomb oil refineries and gas pipelines and explode railways, on its territories.
"Bin Jassim, the Qatari Premier, talks to you to inform you of what the League of Arab States decided; such a League, however, does not exist without Syria; and we would never allow any body to take a decision about our future in our absence or on our behalf.'' underscored al-Jafari.
Pointing his statement at French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe, al-Jafari said: ''In Damascus still we have a quarter called 'al-Hariqia' [Arabic for destroyed by fire--ed.) because French forces in the late '40s of the last century bombed the quarter with artillery and warplanes, killing thousands of civilians,'' reminding the French of their colonial, past not to mention the thousands of Algerians massacred within a space of one hour in 1959.
