Hamas Now Training Free Syrian Army in Damascus - Who Are the Good Guys?

The following report, published earlier this week by the GlobalMBReport.org,

further underscores what we have been telling our readers for a long time:

that what is happening in Syria is not a clear cut case of the good guys

against bad guys, that not all the atrocities of this nasty war have been

perpetrated by the Assad government, that the opposition is made up of a

stew of terrorist groups and foreign jihadi fighters who have infiltrated

and pre-empted much of the true Syrian opposition, and that whatever the

outcome, it is not likely to be good. Until now, some of our sources have

told us that the Free Syrian Army is still a true Syrian opposition, but if

they are being trained by Hamas, they have been severely compromised.

 

There is little doubt that this is a nasty war. The demands that the US get

involved are difficult to counter, as the death toll continues to approach

100,000. But the serious question to be asked is "whose side are we on, and

how can we tell the good guys from the bad guys." The sad answer is that we

probably can't. The bad guys blend in with the good guys, they infiltrate

their ranks with ease, and they use the weapons they acquire

indiscriminately against the innocent and the guilty alike. They are brutal

and they will ultimately bring destruction on the entire country. As much as

we want to save the innocent Syrian victims, caught in the middle, this is a

fight we should not get into. The sad truth, however, is that we have been

in it for quite a while, and have taken up the cause of terrorists as well

as Syrian freedom fighters because we cannot tell the difference.

Hamas Training Syrian Rebels In Damascus

 

Posted By GlobalMB  On April 9, 2013

 

U.K. media is repairing that the military wing of Hamas is training the

rebel Free Syrian Army in eastern Damascus. According to a report [1] in The

Times:

 

     The military wing of Hamas, a former ally of President Assad, is

training the rebel Free Syrian Army in eastern Damascus. Diplomatic sources

said that members of the Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades were training FSA units

in the rebel-held neighbourhoods of Yalda, Jaramana and Babbila. The

development appears to confirm that Hamas, the Palestinian militant group

that runs the Gaza Strip, has made a final break with its former Syrian host

and fully embraced the patronage of Qatar, the small but influential Gulf

state that is a major financial and logistical backer of some rebel

factions. "The Qassam Brigades have been training units very close to

Damascus. These are specialists. They are really good," said a Western

diplomat with high-level contacts in the Assad regime and the Syrian

opposition who visits Damascus regularly. Other sources suggested that Hamas

trainers were helping the FSA to dig tunnels beneath at least one contested

area of Damascus in preparation for a widely expected assault on the city

centre. Hamas has extensive experience in tunnel-building in Gaza, to

smuggle goods in from Egypt and to infiltrate Israel or launch attacks

against Israeli targets. A Palestinian source from Lebanon's Ain al-Hilweh

Palestinian refugee camp said that it was common knowledge that a few

hundred Hamas militants were fighting alongside the FSA in the Yarmouk and

Neirab Palestinian camps in Damascus and Aleppo, Syria's commercial capital.

 

A post [2] from November 2012 reported on the closing of the Damascus office

of the Hamas political leadership.

 

The Hamas charter [3] states that it is " is one of the wings of the Muslim

Brothers in Palestine" and an early media report indicated that shortly

after Hamas took over the Gaza strip, Muslim Brotherhood representatives

were present to review Hamas military formations . In 2007,  a Hamas

journalist acknowledged [4] the role that the "international Muslim

Brotherhood" has played in providing funds for the purchase of weapons and

in 2008, an Israeli TV station reported [5] that Muslim Brotherhood

"representatives" had traveled to Gaza from Egypt through the open border to

meet with Hamas. Hamas is supported financially and politically by the

global Muslim Brotherhood and a NEFA Foundation report [6] has documented

the Hamas fund-raising activities of the Union of Good, a coalition of

Islamic charities linked to the Brotherhood that provides financial support

to both the Hamas "social" infrastructure, as well as its terrorist

activities. Previous posts [7] have also discussed the worldwide campaign

orchestrated by the global Brotherhood against Israeli actions in Gaza

during the 2008-2009 conflict with Israel.
