The United Nations Syria “Peace Plan” is a Fraud

UN “peace envoy” Lakhdar Brahimi  is attempting to broker a
transitional government ahead of proposed elections in Syria. For
Brahimi, his efforts are not only in vain, they are entirely
disingenuous. The proposal of a “transitional government” in the midst
of what is in fact a foreign invasion, funded, armed, and perpetuated
openly by foreign interests violates both Syria’s sovereignty and the
UN’s own founding charter.

It would be not unlike a UN envoy visiting Poland at the
beginning of World War II, and proposing a transitional government in
the midst of the Nazi invasion. The UN would clearly be a facilitator of
injustice, not a broker of peace.

The LA Times reports in their article, “Lakhdar Brahimi works to revive Syria peace plan“:

“Peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi made a new push Thursday to
draw Syrian officials and rebels into negotiations, aiming to revive a
plan for a transitional government and elections that faltered because
of disagreements over the future of President Bashar Assad.”

The UN has categorically failed to delineate between legitimate
opposition inside of Syria, and bands of roving armed terrorists
committing wide scale atrocities against the Syrian people – many of
whom are not even from Syria, all of whom are heavily armed by the US,
NATO, and its regional allies including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar
as part of a long standing plan
to effect regime change in both Syria and Iran. The Western press is
not only supporting the UN’s disingenuous efforts, it has gone through
great lengths to delegitimize any opposition in Syria that refuses to
pick up arms, or that speaks out against foreign intervention.

While the LA Times attempts to make the UN plan seem reasonable, with
only Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russia standing in the way of
peace, in reality, the plan is yet another effort to frame the conflict
as a political struggle instead of the foreign invasion it actually is. 

Syria is Being Invaded by Foreign Terrorists 

The armed “rebels” the UN is refusing to condemn, constitute foreign Al Qaeda fighters, including the US State Department, United Nations, and the UK Home Office (page 5, .pdf)-listed
international terrorist organization, the Libya Islamic Fighting Group
(LIFG), Al Nusra also known as “Al Qaeda in Iraq,” and Syrian Muslim
Brotherhood extremists. None of these terrorist factions would be
negotiated with by Western nations if by some means their weapons turned
from Syria and back toward the West. Yet the West demands that they not
only be recognized and negotiated with, but indeed handed the entire
nation of Syria to rule over.

In November 2011, the Telegraph in their article, “Leading Libyan Islamist met Free Syrian Army opposition group,” would report:

Abdulhakim Belhadj, head of the Tripoli Military Council
and the former leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group, “met with
Free Syrian Army leaders in Istanbul and on the border with Turkey,”
said a military official working with Mr Belhadj. “Mustafa Abdul Jalil
(the interim Libyan president) sent him there.”

Another Telegraph article, “Libya’s new rulers offer weapons to Syrian rebels,” would admit

Syrian rebels held secret talks with Libya’s new
authorities on Friday, aiming to secure weapons and money for their
insurgency against President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, The Daily
Telegraph has learned.

At the meeting, which was held in Istanbul and included Turkish
officials, the Syrians requested “assistance” from the Libyan
representatives and were offered arms, and potentially volunteers.

“There is something being planned to send weapons and even Libyan
fighters to Syria,” said a Libyan source, speaking on condition of
anonymity. “There is a military intervention on the way. Within a few
weeks you will see.”

Later that month, some 600 Libyan terrorists
would be reported to have entered Syria to begin combat operations and
in July 2012, CNN, whose Ivan Watson accompanied terrorists over the
Turkish-Syrian border and into Aleppo, revealed that indeed foreign
fighters were amongst the militants, particularly Libyans. It was admitted that:

Meanwhile, residents of the village where the Syrian Falcons were
headquartered said there were fighters of several North African
nationalities also serving with the brigade’s ranks.

A volunteer Libyan fighter has also told CNN he intends to travel
from Turkey to Syria within days to add a “platoon” of Libyan fighters
to armed movement.

CNN also added:

On Wednesday, CNN’s crew met a Libyan fighter who had
crossed into Syria from Turkey with four other Libyans. The fighter wore
full camouflage and was carrying a Kalashnikov rifle. He said more
Libyan fighters were on the way.
The foreign fighters, some of them are clearly drawn because they see
this as … a jihad. So this is a magnet for jihadists who see this as a
fight for Sunni Muslims.

In essence, Syria has been under invasion for nearly a year by Libyan
terrorists. Additionally, in the immediate aftermath of the US
recognizing its own handpicked “opposition coalition” as the
“representatives of the Syrian people,” its leader, Moaz al-Khatib, immediately demanded that the US lift sanctions on Al Qaeda terrorist organization al-Nusra.

Reuters quoted al-Khatib as saying:

“The decision to consider a party that is fighting the
regime as a terrorist party needs to be reviewed. We might disagree with
some parties and their ideas and their political and ideological
vision. But we affirm that all the guns of the rebels are aimed at
overthrowing the tyrannical criminal regime.”

Not only is the West refusing to acknowledge that Syria’s conflict is
one of foreign and domestic terrorism, it is actively arming, funding,
and offering safe haven to these terrorist factions. NATO-member Turkey
is directly complicit in facilitating Libya’s extraterritorial
aggression by hosting Libyan fighters within its borders, while
coordinating their funding, arming, and logistics as they cross the
Turkish-Syrian border. Along Turkey’s borders also facilitating Libya’s
invasion of Syria, is America’s CIA.

The New York Times admitted in June 2012 in their article, “C.I.A. Said to Aid in Steering Arms to Syrian Opposition,”
that “CIA officers are operating secretly in southern Turkey,” and
directing weapons including, “automatic rifles, rocket-propelled
grenades, ammunition and some antitank weapons.” The NYT implicates
Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar as the primary underwriters for the
weapons while the CIA coordinates the logistics.

Image: The “Friends of Syria” represent many of the co-conspirators described in Seymour Hersh’s extensive 9 page report “The Redirection.”
Syria’s violence is not the result of an indigenous uprising carrying
“political aspirations,” but rather the conspiring and machinations of
the global elite, who long-ago  premeditated the destruction of Syria
for their own, larger, overarching geopolitical agenda.

….

US policy versus Syria stretches as far back as 2007, where US
officials admitted that they planned to overthrow the government of
Syria with foreign-sectarian extremists, using nations like Saudi Arabia
to channel funds and weapons through – specifically to maintain the
illusion that they were somehow not involved.

Seymour Hersh’s lengthy 9 page report, “The Redirection
published in the New Yorker in 2007 exposes US plans to use clandestine
means to overthrow the government of Syria in a wider effort to
undermine and destroy Iran. “A by-product of these activities,” writes
Hersh, “has been the bolstering of Sunni extremist groups that espouse a
militant vision of Islam and are hostile to America and sympathetic to
Al Qaeda.”

Al-Nusra are openly affiliates of Al Qaeda. To say that Libya’s LIFG
are “sympathetic to Al Qaeda” would, however, be misleading. It is Al
Qaeda.

LIFG merged with the US-Saudi created terror organization in 2007,
according to the US Army’s West Point Combating Terrorism Center report,
Al-Qa’ida’s Foreign Fighters in Iraq:”

The apparent surge in Libyan recruits traveling to Iraq
may be linked the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group’s (LIFG) increasingly
cooperative relationship with al‐Qa’ida, which culminated in the LIFG
officially joining al‐Qa’ida on November 3, 2007. (page 9, .pdf)

Hersh’s report would continue by stating, “the Saudi government, with
Washington’s approval, would provide funds and logistical aid to weaken
the government of President Bashir Assad, of Syria.” This included
billions to pro-Saudi factions in Lebanon who were propping up militant
groups linked to Al Qaeda. These militant groups are now crossing over the Lebanese-Syrian border to join their Libyan counterparts.

Clearly the conspiracy being pieced together and executed in 2007,
described by Seymour Hersh citing a myriad of US, Saudi, and Lebanese
sources, is unfolding before our eyes. It was a conspiracy hatched of
mutual US-Israeli-Saudi interests, not based on humanitarian concerns or
“democracy,” but rather on toppling sovereign nations seen as a threat
to their collective extraterritorial influence throughout the region.

The UN’s failure to acknowledge a documented conspiracy by foreign
interests to violently overthrow the government of Syria (and eventually
Iran) once again exposes the international body as a tool for special
interests. Its attempts to broker a “peace plan” between foreign
terrorists invading Syria as proxies for Western powers, lacks any
dimension of legitimacy. The Syrian government and its allies must
redouble their efforts to frame the conflict as the invasion that it is –
and call for both support and patience globally while Syria confronts
and defeats these foreign invaders and the foreign interests arming and
driving them.

Lakhdar Brahimi, like Kofi Annan
before him, is simply buying time for the West’s crumbling narrative.
Syria and its allies must finally let it crumble, so the real business
of saving Syria can get underway – through nation-wide anti-terrorism
security operations, and the diplomatic confrontation of foreign
interests supporting terrorism in and around Syria.

Γκουτέρες: Η «οφθαλμόν αντί οφθαλμού» βία στη Μέση Ανατολή πρέπει να σταματήσει

«Ο χρόνος εξαντλείται» τόνισε ο γενικός γραμματέας του ΟΗΕ

Ο γενικός γραμματέας του ΟΗΕ Αντόνιο Γκουτέρες καταδίκασε σήμερα την πυραυλική επίθεση του Ιράν εναντίον του Ισραήλ, λέγοντας, απευθυνόμενος προς το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας που συγκλήθηκε εκτάκτως, ότι ο «φονικός κύκλος της οφθαλμόν αντί οφθαλμού βίας πρέπει να κλείσει».

«Ο χρόνος εξαντλείται», είπε στο Συμβούλιο.

Το 15μελές συμβούλιο συγκλήθηκε αφότου το Ισραήλ σκότωσε τον ηγέτη της Χεζμπολάχ του Λιβάνου και ξεκίνησε μια χερσαία επιχείρηση εναντίον της φιλοϊρανικής οργάνωσης και η Τεχεράνη εξαπέλυσε μια επίθεση στο Ισραήλ, ένα πλήγμα που ενέτεινε τους φόβους ενός ευρύτερου πολέμου στη Μέση Ανατολή.

«Καταδικάζω, εκ νέου, σθεναρά τη χθεσινή μαζική πυραυλική επίθεση από το Ιράν εναντίον του Ισραήλ», είπε ο Γκουτέρες στο Συμβούλιο.

Νωρίτερα σήμερα, το υπουργείο Εξωτερικών του Ισραήλ ανακοίνωσε πως απαγορεύει στον Γκουτέρες την είσοδο στη χώρα, διότι δεν καταδίκασε «απερίφραστα» την πυραυλική επίθεση του Ιράν εναντίον του Ισραήλ.

Σε μια επιστολή προς το Συμβούλιο Ασφαλείας χθες, το Ιράν δικαιολόγησε την επίθεσή του εναντίον του Ισραήλ ως νόμιμη άμυνα βάσει του Άρθρου 51 του Καταστατικού Χάρτη των Ηνωμένων Εθνών, επικαλούμενο «επιθετικές ενέργειες» από το Ισραήλ, μεταξύ άλλων παραβιάσεις της κυριαρχίας του Ιράν.

«Το Ιράν… σε πλήρη συμφωνία με την αρχή της διάκρισης βάσει του διεθνούς ανθρωπιστικού δικαίου, στοχοθέτησε μονάχα τις στρατιωτικές εγκαταστάσεις και εγκαταστάσεις ασφαλείας του καθεστώτος με τα αμυντικά πυραυλικά πλήγματά του», έγραψε το Ιράν απευθυνόμενο στο Συμβούλιο.

Ο πρεσβευτής του Ισραήλ στα Ηνωμένα Έθνη Ντάνι Ντάνονς απέρριψε σήμερα τον ισχυρισμό του Ιράν περί νόμιμης άμυνας.

«Ήταν μια εσκεμμένη επίθεση εναντίον ενός άμαχου πληθυσμού», είπε σε δημοσιογράφους. «Το Ισραήλ δεν θα παραμείνει σε επιφυλακή μπροστά σε μια τέτοια επιθετικότητα. Το Ισραήλ θα απαντήσει. Η απάντησή μας θα είναι αποφασιστική και ναι, θα είναι οδυνηρή, όμως σε αντίθεση με το Ιράν θα ενεργήσουμε σε πλήρη συμφωνία με το διεθνές δίκαιο».

«Όποιος δεν μπορεί να καταδικάσει απερίφραστα την αποτρόπαια επίθεση του Ιράν στο Ισραήλ δεν αξίζει να πατήσει το πόδι του στο ισραηλινό έδαφος», είπε ο Ισραηλινός ΥΠΕΞ

Ο Ισραηλινός υπουργός Εξωτερικών Ισραήλ Κατς ανακοίνωσε την Τρίτη ότι κήρυξε τον Γενικό Γραμματέα των Ηνωμένων Εθνών Αντόνιο Γκουτέρες «persona non grata» στο Ισραήλ, επικρίνοντάς τον ότι δεν καταδίκασε τη μαζική επίθεση του Ιράν στο Ισραήλ.

«Όποιος δεν μπορεί να καταδικάσει απερίφραστα την αποτρόπαια επίθεση του Ιράν στο Ισραήλ δεν αξίζει να πατήσει το πόδι του στο ισραηλινό έδαφος. Έχουμε να κάνουμε με έναν αντι-ισραηλινό γενικό γραμματέα που υποστηρίζει τρομοκράτες, βιαστές και δολοφόνους», είπε ο Ισραηλινός ΥΠΕΞ, σε μια ακόμα κίνηση των επιδεινούμενων σχέσεων Γκουτέρες-Ισραήλ.

Ο ΟΗΕ αντιτίθεται σε οποιαδήποτε χερσαία εισβολή των ισραηλινών δυνάμεων στον Λίβανο, τόνισε χθες Τρίτη βράδυ ο εκπρόσωπος του γενικού γραμματέα Αντόνιο Γκουτέρες. «Δεν θέλουμε να δούμε κανενός είδους χερσαία εισβολή», δήλωσε ο Στεφάν Ντουζαρίκ, επαναλαμβάνοντας την έκκληση για «αποκλιμάκωση», για εκεχειρία και εκφράζοντας ανησυχία για τις «ανθρωπιστικές συνέπειες» των πληγμάτων στον Λίβανο.

Οι περισσότεροι από 10.000 κυανόκρανοι της ειρηνευτικής αποστολής του ΟΗΕ στον Λίβανο (UNIFIL / Finul) δεν μπορούν πλέον να περιπολούν λόγω της έντασης των μαχών, ανακοίνωσε ο εκπρόσωπος του γενικού γραμματέα του ΟΗΕ.

Netanyahu sets out a choice between a ‘blessing’ and a ‘curse’ in UNGA speech

The Israeli leader brandished two maps — one showing a normalization corridor through the Gulf and the Middle East, the other showing the proliferation of Iran’s proxies

In his address to the United Nations General Assembly on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set out what he described as a choice for the nations of the Middle East and the world, between the “blessing” of expanded regional normalization or the “curse” of Iran, its proxies and Oct. 7.
“Ladies and gentlemen, as Israel defends itself against Iran in the seven-front war, the line separating the blessing and the curse could not be more clear,” Netanyahu told delegates, brandishing a pair of maps — one showing a potential normalization corridor through the Gulf and the Middle East and the other showing the proliferation of Iran’s proxies

“On the one hand, a bright blessing, a future of hope,” he said. “On the other hand, a dark future of despair… Israel has made its choice. We seek to move forward to a bright age of prosperity and peace. Iran and its proxies have also made their choice. They want to move back to a dark age of terror and war.”
He said that the countries of the world must choose which side they will stand on. Netanyahu argued that Israel’s wars against international terrorist groups are a fight against a common global enemy. He condemned those at the U.N. and elsewhere who he said have tried to cast Israel as evil and Iran and its proxies as good.
Netanyahu made the case for Israel’s escalating campaign against Hezbollah, which, he emphasized, has targeted citizens from a slew of countries, not limited to Israel.
“As long as Hezbollah chooses the path of war, Israel has no choice and Israel has every right to remove this threat and return our citizens to their homes safely, and that’s exactly what we’re doing,” Netanyahu said, asserting that Israel has had significant success in its recent operations. More than 60,000 residents of northern Israel have been evacuated since Oct. 7.
He said that Israel has been “tolerating this intolerable situation” of communities being evacuated from northern Israel for a year but “enough is enough,” vowing that Israel would ensure its citizens can return home and “will not accept” a Hezbollah army on its northern border.
Netanyahu emphasized that Hezbollah is violating U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701 — which calls on it to move its forces north of the Litani River — and that it is firing rockets from civilian locations in Lebanon.
Addressing Iran’s leaders, Netanyahu said, “if you strike us, we will strike you. There is no place in Iran that the long arm of Israel cannot reach.”
And he sought to frame Iran as a threat not just to Israel, but to global stability, trade and safety unless Israel and like-minded countries counter it

“For too long, the world has appeased Iran,” Netanyahu said. “That appeasement must end now. Nations of the world should support the brave people of Iran who want to rid themselves of this evil regime… They should join Israel in stopping Iran’s nuclear weapons program.”
Netanyahu urged the Security Council to reinstate snapback sanctions on Iran under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal, before they fully expire.
He warned that Iran “now seeks to weaponize this nuclear program,” vowing that “Israel will do everything in its power to make sure [that] doesn’t happen.”
The Israeli leader vowed repeatedly that he would “not rest until the remaining hostages are brought home.” But he said that if Hamas refuses to surrender and release the hostages, “we will fight until we achieve total victory.”
He touted what he described as Israel’s success against Hamas, asserting that Israel has killed or captured more than half of Hamas’ fighters, destroyed more than 90% of its rocket arsenal, eliminated key parts of Hamas’s tunnel system and destroyed 23 of the 24 Hamas battalions.
Netanyahu insisted that Hamas cannot be part of the postwar governance in Gaza, comparing the idea to allowing the Nazis to remain in power in Germany after World War II. He said Israel seeks a “demilitarized and deradicalized Gaza” but does not intend to resettle Gaza, adding that Israel seeks to work with partners to support a “local civilian administration in Gaza committed to peaceful coexistence.”
He emphasized that Hamas terrorists continue to steal food, which Israel “enable[s] aid agencies to bring into Gaza,” selling it at inflated prices to the people of Gaza and using it as a lever to retain power. And he insisted that Israel is taking unprecedented measures to decrease civilian casualties.
Netanyahu told the assembled delegates — many left the room when he began his speech — that he hadn’t been planning to speak at the U.N. this year, but said he decided to come to counter “the lies and slanders leveled at my country” from the podium.
He said that the U.N.’s anti-Israel bias is a “moral stain” which has made the body “contemptible in the eyes of decent people everywhere.” He said the U.N. has been willing to tolerate and promote “any outlandish allegation” against Israel that is put forward.
