"The veiled threat of military aggression against Syria has been becoming increasingly clear. The consequences of this choice could be tragic and could destabilise even further the already unstable Middle East. This is the same
that led to NATO’s military attacks on Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya: fostering internal divisions, using secret services and special forces to intervene, and funding and arming the ‘opposition’, along with a campaign of despicable media manipulation.
None of these interventions had positive consequences for those peoples. In addition to thousands of deaths and the destruction of important infrastructure, they have cleared political space for those countries’ most reactionary and retrograde forces. With this resolution, the majority in Parliament are impeding the peaceful solution that is needed. They are backing disrespect for the sovereignty of the Syrian people, and refusing to support national dialogue and diplomatic efforts within the UN to prevent the internal situation from escalating. They are on the side of the NATO powers, and of the region’s obscurantist and reactionary monarchies in funding and supplying arms for the groups that have been attacking civilian populations and public buildings, and abducting and killing innocent civilians."@en1
