 Thousands of Syrians gathered at Umayyad Square in Damascus Thursday to express solidarity with their mother country Syria under the current pressures she has been exposed to. US former senator David Duke, who participated in the protest, expressed total solidarity with Syria saying, "Israel is the state of terror not Syria".
| Ummm... Duke was never a U.S. senator. I believe he was once a Louisianna state representative, and he ran for U.S. Senate and was soundly trounced. |
The ex-senator added that the Zionism dominates the US administration as well as occupies some US medias in a step to mislead the US people, chanting "no war for Israel".
| Duke currently spends his time in Russia and Ukraine, after pleading guilty to tax and mail fraud charges in the U.S. |
Syrian parliamentarian Muhie al-Din Habboush underlined in a statement delivered among a great applause of audience that the whole world knows that assassinating Lebanese ex- Premiere Rafik al-Hariri means assassinating Syria noting, " we want the truth but not at the expense of our people’s dignity".
| Break out the old dignity meter... |
Damascus Chamber of Commerce also called for participating in the protest, which included many businessmen, parliamentarians and industrialists. Participants were wearing Syrian flags as scarf, chanting slogans "God, Syria and Bashar" and holding photos of President Bashar al-Assad as well as Syrian flags. Sit-in and Protests are going on all over Syria as long as the US pressures are exerted on Syria.
| Right. No skin off our collective fore... |
