Israel, KSA seek to destroy Syria: Expert
“They (Israelis and the Saudis) have been virtually merging into one country of Saudi-Israelia and the hard-line faction of neo-conservatives here in the US that want to destroy Syria for Israel, turn it into three small balkanized little states and go through Syria in an attack on Iran,” Kevin Barrett said.
He added that Western media keep silent about the violence and carnage in Syria while the Western governments are actually arming and supplying the so-called insurgents to commit their share.
The commentator said that the Western governments are allying themselves with al-Qaeda, adding they were complicit in the murder of the US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens over a year ago.
Last year, clashes broke out at the US consulate in Libya’s Benghazi after a group of people held a demonstration to protest against a blasphemous movie that insults Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and depicts Islam as an oppressive religion.
US Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three staff members of the US consulate were killed during the clashes at the mission building. According to a US official, at least five other Americans were also wounded in the scuffles.
Barrett said it was a “terrible mistake” by everyone involved to create a civil war in Syria.
“The only party that is really going to benefit from this is the Israelis who have managed to smash a large and coherent country on the borders they are occupying. Now the Israelis are never going to have to worry about giving back the Golan Heights of Syria, it is fully destroyed. That is the end game of this Syrian civil war,” the analyst pointed out.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a report on Friday saying the Takfiri militants in Syria killed 190 civilians and held over 200 others hostage in the country’s western province of Latakia in August alone.
The 105-page report was compiled based upon on-site investigation and interviews with 35 people, including the survivors of the attacks.
According to the report, in some cases, the extremists executed or gunned down entire families. A vast majority of the hostages are also women and children.
Since the outbreak of the turmoil in Syria in March 2011, several video clips have been released showing the grisly crimes perpetrated by the foreign-sponsored terrorists against innocent civilians in the country.
A very large number of the militants in the Arab country are reportedly foreign nationals.

Israel says it has arrested an Iranian spy
The Washington Post
30 September 2013
JERUSALEM — Israeli security officials said Sunday that they have arrested a Belgian businessman of Iranian descent for spying on Israel and gathering intelligence on possible terrorism targets.
Israeli analysts said the arrest of the alleged Iranian agent couldn’t have come at a better time for Netanyahu.
Boarding his plane to New York on Saturday night, Netanyahu said: “I will tell the truth in the face of the sweet talk and the onslaught of smiles. One must talk facts, and one must tell the truth.”
Iran’s new president, Hassan Rouhani, has said he seeks more engagement with the West and is prepared to discuss Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He had a 15-minute telephone conversation with President Obama on Friday — the first communication between the presidents of the United States and Iran in 30 years. Upon his return to Tehran, Rouhani was applauded by supporters at the airport, but he later was showered with eggs and shouts of “Death to Israel!” by protesters.
“This kind of thing [the arrest] has happened before, but in the past such cases did not get this kind of publicity. It is not in [the Shin Bet security service’s] interest to publish details of these cases in this way, so obviously it is related to the new geopolitical constellation,” said Uzi Rabi, director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University, referring to Israel’s worries about a thawing of relations between the United States and Iran.
Senior Israeli security officials said Sunday that the suspected Iranian agent, Ali Mansouri, had made three trips to Israel over the past two years and was working to make business contacts here and establish a covert base of operations, including a front company to market windows and roofing materials.
The Israelis said that Mansouri was promised $1 million by Iran for his clandestine work.
It was impossible to reach Mansouri, who is being detained at an undisclosed location.
Israel said Mansouri was recruited by Iran’s Quds Force, a unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps charged with “extraterritorial operations” of assassination, insurgency and attacks, according to U.S. Defense Department officials. Its leadership answers directly to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to a dossier provided by Israel, Mansouri was born in Tehran in 1958, left in 1980, lived in Turkey until 1997, moved to Belgium, married a Belgian, became a Belgian citizen in 2006 and changed his name.
“During questioning, the suspect Ali Mansouri described entering Israel under a Belgian identity using the alias Alex Mans, and detailed his recruitment and activation process by Iranian intelligence elements,” according to Israel’s Shin Bet.
The Israelis said Mansouri was instructed after each visit to return to Iran to be debriefed by his handlers.
