Syrian Writer: Time to Abandon Self-Destructive Ideology of Resistance
(MEMRI-TV) Syrian writer Dr. Kamal Al-Labwani told Al-Jazeera on Sep. 22: "For seventy years, we lived according to the ideology of resistance. This ideology has culminated with the destruction of the Arab countries. Today, some [Arab] countries have begun to sober up from this ideology, which was used to justify the state of emergency, as well as the oppression and the tyranny....This ideology is self-destructive, and we must abandon it." "War crimes have been committed in the name of resistance and liberation. Anyone demanding freedom was accused of being an Israeli collaborator or whatever. Iran came and occupied Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. The Syrian people have been driven out and slaughtered. The Lebanese people have been slaughtered. All this was done in the name of the resistance, while Israel has been living in peace and security. So it is time that we do away with this lie."
