SNC willing to work with Hezbollah

THE DAILY STAR

BEIRUT: The head of the Syrian National Council was quoted as saying Monday that Syria’s main opposition group would not have any problem dealing with Hezbollah if the party supported a democratic change in Syria.

“There are no permanent enmities in politics as there are no permanent friendships. Alliances are built on goals. We want to achieve our goals.

If Hezbollah decided to support the democratic process in Syria, there would not be any barrier [to dealing with it],” Burhan Ghalioun said in an interview with the Algerian newspaper Al-Shourouq.

“We will not sacrifice Hezbollah if Hezbollah does not sacrifice us as a people and as a cause,” he added.

Hezbollah strongly supports Syrian President Bashar Assad who is facing the gravest challenge to his rule from an 11-month-old popular uprising demanding his ousting.

“Hezbollah’s greatest popularity in the past in the Arab world was in Syria because it did a glorious job when it stood against Israel,” Ghalioun said, adding: “But the people are now having doubts about it [Hezbollah] because it has adopted clear a stance, supporting an oppressive regime that is using all kinds of violence.”

  3. I’ve always said it doesn’t matter who rules these countries bcause they are jew killers to the core from head to toe. Jews should spend less time hoping that things will change and more time focusing on their defense, security and interests. Jews waste a great deal of energy, and resources,engaging in futile, masochistic, suicidal fantasies emanating from the 2000 year slaughter. The Jews are the only people who wonder whether they should kill first in self defense.
