"This resolution is another example of the hypocrisy of the majority of Parliament. To begin with, because they are lumping different situations and countries together in the same resolution. They are doing this intentionally, proposing transition ‘dialogue’ to help their allies (Bahrain and Yemen), and pressuring those who do not defend their interests (Syria). Is there a case for asking why ‘dialogue’ was not advocated in Libya, rather than bombing? The objectives are clear: to camouflage the movement of troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates into Bahrain to assist the oligarchic regime there, with the support of the United States – a country that keeps its main Persian Gulf fleet in Bahrain – and to repress the Bahraini people’s fight for social change and democracy. The same in Yemen, where they are coming out in defence of a regime that is violently repressing its people, and their fight for democratic change and improved living conditions, in order to protect an ally in the so-called ‘war on terror’. There is now an attempt to conceal outside interference in Syria, through the financing and arming of what are being called ‘peaceful protests’ in a country that has had an anti-imperialist attitude, condemning Israeli and US policy in the region."@en1
