Dear Friends,

West Asia. You can find it here:

Warm regards, Vijay.




"Certainly there are reports of ‘demographic transfers’ (as the UN says) 
of people from the Damascus suburbs of Daraya and Moadamiyah – but these 
have not been on sectarian lines, more on political lines (rebels have 
been moved to Idlib, as from Aleppo)."


This is a distinction without a difference. Assad never had problems 
with the Sunni rich. But it was the rural poor that was his nemesis. In 
places like Daraya, the revolt was mounted by Sunnis not in order to 
claim victory on a confessional basis as if which descendant of Muhammad 
represented true Islam. They revolted because life had become 
intolerable due to a withdrawal of support for Syria's countryside as I 
pointed out here:


https://louisproyect.org/2016/12/14/the-economic-roots-of-the-syrian-revolution/

Assad conducted ethnic cleansing the same way that Israel does, to 
banish insurgents to a remote region where they could cause no harm. If 
the Palestinians were reconciled to second class citizenship, there 
would have been no need for a Nabka. Since they weren't, they had to be 
driven out of Israel for the most part.


What Vijay obviously refuses to recognize is that in the name of 
secularism, diversity and enlightenment values, Assad is carrying out 
the same kind of ethnic cleansing as Israel. If the Sunni poor, the 
overwhelming majority of the country, had consented to live peacefully 
under a family dynasty that was driving down their standard of living 
mercilessly under a neoliberal regime, there never would have been a 
reason to force Syrians to go into Idlib, which is turning into the 
equivalent of the West Bank.

[Marxism] Fwd: Why Donald Trump’s Pro-Assad Stance Won’t End Syria’s Turmoil

Experts on the region say it is unrealistic to expect that most Syrians 
will resign themselves to being passively ruled by the government after 
this latest episode of bloodletting.


“When you have had years of such terrible, unprecedented, and mostly 
one-sided massacres perpetrated by the regime, it’s not possible to 
imagine that there could be any lasting end to the war in Syria, as long 
as that same regime remains in power,” says Achcar. “Even if the regime 
and its allies succeed in forcing the opposition to agree to some kind 
of settlement where Assad stays, the situation will remain completely 
unstable, because his regime is at its core very weak and survives only 
due to Iranian and Russian support.”

I think comrades have seen Stephen Shalom's excellent article on "Russia
and the Left":
http://newpol.org/content/russia-and-left

Today we have a perfect example of the lunacy Stephen dissected, in the
form of "peace" activist David Swanson pimping for Putin:
Samantha Power Can See Russia from Her Padded Cell
By David Swanson
http://davidswanson.org/node/5415
Ironically Power's main claim to fame is spending the last six years
jerking around the anti-Assad forces with false promises and denying them
the arms that might have ousted the regime. But for Swanson, her cardinal
sin is being mean to Vladimir.
(Meanwhile on the same UFPJ list where I saw Swanson's piece, there's a new
thread defending promotion of Tulsi Gabbard's bill to deny arms to the FSA
while ADMITTING that she's a racist, Islamophobic,
anti-refugee/homeless/etc. reactionary.)

The clemency for Manning may hide, or incite, lethal action against Assange and 
Snowden, to say nothing of Mumia in state custody.
