OCCALAN DEATH SENTENCE; A MESSAGE TO ALL ASSAD'S ALLIES
By: Charles Jalkh (Freedom Fighter)

Kurdish rebel leader Occalan has just been sentenced by a Turkish court to a death sentence. Occalan has been a resident of Syria and Lebanon for years. Syria's dictator Hafez Assad harbored Occalan as he harbors today Abou Nidal, and many other Freedom Fighters/Terrorists. Occalan and Assad, drunk, ate, and dined together for years. The rebel Kurds found a haven in Syria.

Assad allowed them to open training bases in the Syrian-occupied Lebanese Bekaa Valley where they trained for years. Assad provided money, weapons, training, and logistical support. The Kurds believed the Syrian support was genuine and accepted it graciously. Assad on the other hand cared little as he has usually done, about the people, and was using the Kurdish legitimate national aspiration as a negotiating card with Turkey over water rights. No actual operations were launched from Syrian territory against Turkey. Instead, Kurdish fighters were smuggled into Northern Iraq where they launched attacks against South-Eastern Turkey.

The Irony of the Kurdish tragedy, is that they have been massacred, gassed, killed, persecuted by all nations where they exist, mainly; Iran, Syria, Iraq, and Turkey, yet they chose their war to be conducted mainly inside Iraq and Turkey only.

When Turkey out-thugged the greatest thug of the middle east, Assad, as usual his knees buckled, negotiated some last-minute water rights from Turkey, and without hesitation, kicked out Occalan from Syria into an uncertain and unsafe Diaspora, where he was captured by Turkish intelligence and brought to Turkey where he has just been sentenced to death.

This is another lesson for all those little pions who deal and work with Assad today. He will betray you at a moment's notice and sell you and your cause out (if you have any) and that of your people. The man is treacherous and knows only the art of staying in power. He has massacred thousands of his own people (city of Hamah and secret police), hundred of thousands of Lebanese and Palestinians, and thousands of Israeli and International citizens. Assad assassinated allies and foes alike, like Nationalist leader Kamal Jumblat, President Bashir Gemayel, Mufti Hassan Khaled, Journalist Selim Lawzi, and hundreds others community leaders. He masterminded and executed international terrorist attacks as well as the attack on the US embassies and Marines barracks. He is dangerous not only to his enemies but also to his friends, allies, and puppets. Assad cannot be trusted neither in war, nor in Peace. He embezzled billions from Gulf nations and others. Threatened and conducted political assinations. Bombed Lebanon into oblivion and occupied it. Sold out the Lebanese, Palestinians, and now the Kurds, and tomorrow it will be you; Nabih Berry, Walid Jumblat, Rafiq Hariri, Emile Lahoud, Ehud Barak, next US President, Jacques Chirac, etc., and dozens others collaborators, friends, and foes.

Israel and the US are delusioning themselves when they think they can make peace with the little dictator of Syria. They cannot rest for he stabs in the back. A peace with Assad is only appeasement. It is a pact with the devil. It has no foundation. They too shall be sold out on the first opportunity. The people of the Middle East will not forgive Israel and the US for allowing Assad to perpetuate his tyranny on us. The reign of terror and blood must end. There will be no peace unless it is a peace between people and based on liberty, human rights, and sovereignty for all nations.

A last word for all Kurdish protesters around the world. You need not attack Turkish, Israeli, Greek or any other embassy. Judas is Hafez Assad of Syria. Many of you know his address.
