The Syrian Revolution General Commission called for a general strike in all Syrian cities on Thursday (November 10th) to demand the withdrawal of the Arab League initiative, a statement by the commission said Wednesday.
The statement said the demand to withdraw the initiative came "in protest to the murders and violent bombardment that the city of Homs has been subjected to for days".
"Following the monitoring in the field of violations committed of all Arab initiative articles, and the failure to implement any part of them by the al-Assad occupation forces, we in the Syrian Revolution General Commission ask our Arab brothers to withdraw their initiative."
The commission said Tuesday that 16 people, including a child, were killed by Syrian government forces. They said seven were killed in Idlib in northern Syria, while four were killed in Hama and five in the city of Homs.

I believe that what the Arab peoples have done has proven to be the successful solution to topple the biggest, cruelest and most tyrannical Arab regimes that controlled their countries for many years. Some of them extended this control for almost half a century in their ruling positions that enabled them to take charge of everything. Therefore, I believe that marches, protests and peaceful demonstrations represent the only solution, because the policy of criticism or mere verbal opposition through directing respectful messages to those in power will not scare those tyrants and will not push them to step down from power. If protests and demonstrations are no good, because they strongly repress them and because many martyrs die one after the other, how about the policy of just waiting and talking, then? I don’t think that would be useful either. All Arab peoples have to unite and cooperate to get rid of those traitors who have controlled the Arab world for years. They are the reason behind the state of backwardness, disagreements, problems, division and isolation the Arab countries are now living in. God damn those corrupt traitors; the time has come for all of them to leave. They no longer have a place in power. The practices they have committed throughout the past years, through which they killed many people and ruined the Arab countries, are more than enough. Work must be done consistently to get rid of these regimes that have alleged to be patriotic, while in reality they were a cause behind killing patriotism and destroying the citizens’ dignity. The worst regimes have been toppled, including Saddam’s regime, then the Tunisian regime, then Egypt, which had been suffering from the world’s biggest pharaoh, then the lunatic al-Qaddafi, who killed his people, the cowardly Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen, and now it is Bashar al-Assad’s turn in Syria, if solidarity, endurance and hard work continue to achieve this goal. All rebels have to be patient and seek God’s guardianship against those tyrants, because their end is near.
