United Statement and Call for Action to Oppose
U.S./NATO AND ISRAELI WAR ON SYRIA
No more wars! U.S. out of the Middle East!
National Days of Action, June 28 - July 17, 2013
The White House’s June 13th announcement that it would begin
directly supplying arms to the opposition in Syria is a dramatic
escalation of the U.S./NATO war against that country. Thousands of U.S.
troops and intelligence personnel are training opposition forces and
coordinating operations in Turkey and Jordan. Israel, the recipient of
more than $3 billion annually in U.S. military aid, has carried out
heavy bombing raids against Syria. The Pentagon has developed plans for a
“no-fly” zone over Syria, threatening a new U.S. air war.
The pretext for this escalation is the assertion, presented
without any actual evidence, that the Syrian government has used
chemical weapons in the conflict that has been raging for more than two
years. Like their predecessors, President Obama and other top U.S.
officials pretend to be concerned about “democracy” and “human rights”
in Syria, but their closest allies in the campaign against Syria are
police-state, absolute monarchies like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Just as the false claim of “weapons of mass destruction” was
used as justification for the invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003,
the allegations that chemical weapons were used by the Syrian military
is meant to mask the real motives of Washington and its allies. Their
aim is to carry out “regime change,” as part of the drive to create a
“new Middle East.”. . .
