Is the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad so integral to the Arab world, that holding an Arab League Summit without it is absurd? According to columnist Dr. Issa al-Shummas of Syria’s state-run Thawra Al Wehda, the League has given Syria’s seat to ‘the illegitimate child of Qatar and the CIA,’ and blocking the Syrian regime’s involvement would be like depriving a body of its ‘beating heart.’
For Thawra Al Wehda, in a staunch defense of the Bashar al-Assad regime, Dr. Issa al-Shummas writes in part:
Since Syria is the beating heart of Arab nationalism, how can the body of the Arab world meet at any summit without it? How can it function without the vital pulse of its heart? How can the limbs of the Arab body move while suffering from weakness and humiliation, and after having lost the blood of the original Arab nationalism supplied to them by the arteries of this heart? It is this heart which bequeathed to them a strong immune system, which was earned by countering the slippery slope toward the loss of nationalist identity and belonging.
As they sat on their plush seats, they allowed the illegitimate child of Qatar and the CIA to sit amongst them. [Reference to Syrian National Coalition leader Moaz al-Khatib]. They called him the representative of the Syrian people, who have not recognized him, so that they could make him a puppet they can tell anything they like to. And this, instead of allowing the legitimate father of the Syrian people, who built this seat according to Arab nationalist specifications and contributed to establishing the “Arab House” to do what is best for the children of the house – and not sow seeds of temptation and evil among them. That is what is being done by the group of Bedouins who, due to the power of oil and the dollar to which the weaker, more spineless members of the organization have submitted, have been made vulnerable to the loss of their Arab identity and role, and who have taken control of the Arab League.
