In Darfur, Muslim tribes, with government's assistance already
slaughtered some 500,000 victims, and are up for way more. The international community, so eager to criticize Israel for its acts against Palestinians, stands aside while Darfur children die of hunger, their parents slaughtered by ruthless militia.
There are some, however, who believe this is exactly the way it should be! One of them is Syria's President, Bashar al-Assad, who recently
told Sudan's Foreign Minister Deng Alor that the Darfur genocide is no one's business! That's right -- Muslims slaughtering other people is no matter for international community, according to him. While this isn't the first time Arab leaders support Sudan (during recent Doha summit, the leaders outright rejected international arrest warrant for Sudan's Omar al-Bashir), this case is one of blunt viciousness. And the worst thing is -- he is far from being alone in the Arab world.
Far from being finished, Assad also states that his country supports the "effort" by Sudanese officials to bring peace. With such support, I guess peace will be brokered as soon as those Darfurians will just die.
Moreover, Syrians are using the 'international law' card again, with FM Muallem saying International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against al-Bashir is against the international law. I guess they take anyone into the ICC these days, if even Syria's overweight Foreign Minister knows the law better than the ICC judges.
Last, but not least, Omar al-Bashir stated that the arrest warrant is nothing but an attempt to "usher a new era of domination and infringement upon the independence and sovereignty of Sudan".
And you know what? Until good ol' Omar won't stop murdering people just for the flying fun of it, damn right his rights should be "infringed". Guillotines, where are you when we need you most?
My name’s Jonathan Boyko. I am 24 y/o PC tech guy, working in Jerusalem, Israel. Prior to my current work, I served for three years in the Israeli Defense Force, Combat Engineering Corps., which told me a lot.
My views are usually conservative, although I am far from being far Right. I believe I hold sane views. For example: I believe radical Islam should be battled against, hard – but that does not label all Muslims as terrorists. I believe the Israeli electoral system should be changed immediately – but presidential rule really would not work in Israel. I believe the ultra-orthodox in Israel shouldn’t be forced to serve in the military – but should be forced to do at least a year’s service for the country (within civilian infrastructure).
