Shermine Narwani's article, "Foolishly Ignoring the Arab League Report On Syria" has been widely circulated by the pro-resistance crowd as some further kind of proof that there is a conspiracy in...

I still look at the news with disbelief when I see what happened in Port Said in Egypt. What an absolute mess, caused by incompetence and stupidity. I've been hearing some people say that this is a...

Here are the debating techniques of some of the pro-Assad debaters on the famous television debate "The Opposite Direction", on al Jazeera. Of course Arab leftists and pro-"resistance" people are...

Nobody is taking any chances with this any more, the level of negotiations at this level must be the most intense it's ever been: Hillary Clinton, William Hague and Alain Juppé are due at...

Whichever group thought it a good idea to grab some toeholds in Damascus over the weekend played a smart move. Rather than try to hold out against Assad's regular troops, forcing him to pin down...

I find it particularly revolting when Syrians who passionately support the regime also remember Saddam Hussein with admiration and call him a "martyr". Never in my wildest dreams did I ever get...

A daring act of defiance in the heart of the Mazzeh area, which is the main thoroughfare for Damascus. I can confirm from the surrounding buildings and layout. That takes some.

I'll say this as frankly as I can, I couldn't give two hoots about who the Syrian National Council writes letters of thanks to. We've reached a stage where even Satan would be protesting to Assad...

Analysis from the BBC's Jim Muir: If the Arab League observers had inhibited Syrian government forces from attacking residential areas, any such constraints now seem to be thrown to the winds. Above...

I believed months ago that Hamas' position was no longer tenable in Syria. In spite of some odd statements by Khaled Meshaal about the Syrian regime, it is an open secret in Gaza that Iran has...

Al Jazeera [Arabic] is reporting over one hundred casualties in Syria today. So some people think that the "activist" groups reporting this are not credible. So let's say it was fifty Syrians killed...

Somebody recently told me that it is wrong to compare the oppression of the Arab regimes with the oppression of the Palestinians. Wlaa! Oppression is oppression is oppression. I can and will draw the...

I didn't follow the Arab League decision and press conference, but I have seen some Youtube clips of what happened and read a few commentaries about the main points that arose. So far it seems the...

The tension that is building up in Syria will, I suspect, shortly reach a climax. I have never seen the Russians appear as adamant about their position regarding any country in the world as they are...

One of the most widely read and interesting Wikileaks documents about Syria is here. I have always enjoyed reading this particular document and when a friend recently linked to it, I couldn't help...

Khaled Abu Salah is a man that has appeared a number of times on al Jazeera reports, and I first saw him when he was courageously telling one of the Arab inspectors about the horrific situation in...

Another video uploaded today which claims to show the town of Zabadani, close to Damascus. The mosque minarets are chanting a praise that is usually reserved either for the Eid festivals or for times...

This is a video uploaded today on ShamSNN. It claims to be of people in the Zabadani and Madaya, which is very close to Damascus. The video appears to show armed men who claim to be defending the...
