Syria and the Arab Silence...Again
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Tariq Alhomayed - The death toll of innocent Syrians has surpassed one thousand, not to mention the tens of thousands of prisoners and those reported missing, yet the Arabs have not uttered a single word. Footage was released every day revealing the crimes committed by the regime against the Syrians, revealing the humiliation and torture of children, youths and the elderly. We saw an old man moaning as he was kicked in the face by the Syrian regime's men. We saw a group of these men take a photo standing on the back of the Syrian man after they had kicked him with their shoes. Demonstrations are prevalent in Syrian cities and towns, even the most obscure ones, with everyone coming out against the regime. How can the Arabs rise up against Gaddafi, and call for the international community to take a decisive stand against him, while they do nothing about the Syrian regime?
