READER COMMENTS

We should treat the people as we liked to be treated. Everything you do today with the others is likely to occur with you tomorrow. Be mindful to give them comfort as they are humans who left their homes and their money. They come to you with their families and they do not have anything, and cannot provide themselves with anything. You have to deal with them properly and to welcome them as this just would not only be a generous human attitude but also a respectable political position that obliges the other States to respect you and forces the Jordanian people themselves to respect their government at a time when the peoples are revolting against their governments. Therefore, it will lead to the political stability of the country and the improvement of their economic conditions, and draw a respectable image of the State of Jordan and its government. If the good treatment of the Syrian refugees leads to a national benefit for you and at the same time is a respected humanitarian position from the Jordanian Government, why do we not do it? It is best for people to not forget the positions of the other people toward them. The recent Arab revolutions demonstrated that the peoples are those who rule and no one else, and thus it is important for every government to take positions that endeared their people and the people of the other countries. That is more important than pleasing the policies of the other States without concern for the feelings of the people that proved to be the real leader of each State. Therefore, it is your duty to pay attention to the Syrian refugees and take care of them more than that, so that the Syrian people will remember you with all the best and to prove your respect of yourselves first, and to push the people of the whole world to respect you.

The suffering in Jordan is like the suffering in Lebanon where Jordan, despite its sympathy with the revolution, did not take a clear and explicit position towards the massacres of al-Assad and in dealing with the Syrians in Jordan. Despite the Kingdom's policy, there are men who are in solidarity with the revolution from the border guards and many positions of power. The government authorized any action to assist the refugees and it is trying to organize and monitor it. However, they do not do awareness campaigns on the Jordanian Street towards what is happening while the Muslim brotherhood is doing so. Also, they did not take any actions at the level of the markets and they did not even try to find alternatives to include the Jordanians in the Syrian market. Simply, Jordan is doing good things, but without a plan or a vision for the future.

The number of the Syrian refugees has exceeded the capacity of the Jordanian Government. This has been clearly manifested in the kind of behavior with the Syrian refugees. However, our brotherly Syrians have neither been responsible for the current situation nor for the injustice of the oppressors. Thus, Jordan has to grant further interest in the Syrian refugees and behave with them just like Jordanian citizens.

The Arab governments intend to help the Syrian opposition in every possible and available way. This is a sign of a beginning of a campaign to arm the Syrian revolution, which expressed its support for this idea. The leaders of the Arab states and governments announced that that they are going to support the opposition and the revolutionaries in the light of the ceaseless crimes of al-Asad who kills and executes the demonstrators and uses heavy arms against his people. They confirmed that they would provide the Syrian revolutionaries with everything they need. The Libyan revolutionaries also provided financial and military support to the Syrians. This was followed by a decision on the part of the National Council regarding the formation of a Military Council to supervise the activities of the armed resistance and organize its ranks, study their needs and manage its operations and financing.

The Jordanian government must provide suitable care to the Syrian brothers who are in need of those who can stand with them in their ordeal. They were expelled from their homes and their circumstances and they suffer from bad conditions. Jordan opened its doors before them to find shelter in their second home, Jordan, which supports them in this distress. Jordan proved that it is the best neighboring state that stands with its brothers in Syria, who suffer from the torture of Bashar and its security forces. However, at the same time, the government must provide suitable places and camps in which they should stay and seek to establish field hospitals to provide suitable medical care and food. Additionally, the serious cases are transferred to the states that have the necessary capabilities to treat them at their expense. Jordan is a beautiful state and it is known that its king is a good man who cares about all the groups of the society and takes care of their issues. He also stands with all the states. The Jordanian people are kind and merciful and they welcomed their brothers who needed refuge kindly and compassionately.

All states must move to support the Syrian people and condemn the crimes of the Syrian regime against them. This needs a clear stance from the Arab states that sent much humanitarian aid to Syria without any military help. The Syrians need military support from the Arab states in order to fight the corrupt regime that will not be toppled without the use of force. The humanitarian needs will not help the Syrians much, because the Syrians need support for their revolution through working on deposing this regime. The stance of the Arab states is still unclear. Why do we wait for the Security Council to tell us what to do? Do we neglect each other to this extent? Are we too weak to move our forces to support our brothers everywhere? Why all the Arab states became so negative and coward? How long will we continue suffering from this problem? Why did the Arab states not move to confront the Syrian regime and stop it? What is the cause of all of this silence that we witness towards the case of Syria? This silence strengthens al-Asad and encourages him to commit more crimes against the Syrians. I do not know how al-Asad became so merciless towards his people. Why he is he trying to annihilate his people in every possible way? Is it because they demanded their right to life? Al-Asad is in a weak position and his forces suffer from many losses. The Arab states should take the right stance against the regime rather than being satisfied by issuing condemnations against the Syrian regime. The Syrians do not only wait for condemnation, but they need practical steps on the ground to lead Syrian to the safe side. I ask God to strengthen the Syrians and to provide them with patience and power to confront the aggression and injustice that they face

The United Nations says that at least thousands of Syrians have been killed since the start of the uprisings in the county. The Syrian regime insists on saying that it is fighting terrorist armed groups and that two thousand of its forces were killed during this period. It is worth mentioning that it is very difficult to verify the number of people killed and injured, due to the ban imposed by the Syrian regime against foreign journalists entering the country. The Syrian security forces were firing artillery at the housing areas of Homs; shortly before the arrival of the observers, they changed their method and pulled back some of their tanks from the streets of the city. When the protesters came back to the streets, the security forces used tear gas and live bullets to disperse them, even though the Arab initiative stipulated the necessity of permitting peaceful protests. We are certain that righteousness will have victory in Syria, the criminal Syrian regime will fall and the Syrian people will have victory. We send our greetings to the people for the martyrs and sacrifices they gave. If the international community and the Arab League do not move clearly and seriously against the Syrian regime, we will see massacres for which we will be responsible. The blood of Syrians is being shed, they are being slaughtered ,and their corpses and dignity are being violated in every neighborhood, village and city all over Syria.
