There is a lot of ambiguity in the position of the Arab Governments concerning the current events in Syria. Indeed, the Syrian streets are witnessing a lot of violence and on almost a daily basis. Syria has turned into a barren land. The situation in Syria seems to be like a battlefield. For this reason, many Syrians are now fleeing their home regions in order to escape the military operations which target the unarmed civilians there. The operations are meant to kill the Syrians in a very organized way. Indeed, the regime’s army is committing crimes on a daily basis against the defenseless Syrian people. The latter did not hurt the regime at all. The Syrians are only calling for the rights that citizens should be entitled to enjoy their full rights and to carry out their duties. The Government is supposed to respect these rights. Therefore, the Arab and Islamic countries should seek to save the Syrian people from the crimes of the regime’s army and bandits. In this respect, the Arab countries must allow the entrance of the displaced in their territories and provide them with the appropriate places in order to settle in. They should also provide the displaced with food, and appropriate medical treatment, especially that the Syrian people had suffered from significant psychological repression and panic which require special medical care. The doctors should help in the rehabilitation of the displaced. On the other hand, the Arab Governments must provide the Syrian opposition with arms in order to resist the unjust regime and impose their control on Syria. This is the least thing that must be provided to Syrians in order to regain their freedom.

The revolution in Syria is distinguished from the rest of the revolutions under the influence of the international and the regional powers and the developments of the situation there. This explains the contradictory international stances towards the Syrian revolution if compared with their stance toward the Libyan revolution, when the whole world saw the intervention of NATO. The situation is different for Syria, because it does not have oil to attract intentional protection; however, it represents the separating point between the western and eastern camps. Syria may be the starting point of a new world war that may destroy all parties.
