FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Ja’afari said the 15-nation council misinterpreted the words of the head of the UN mission in Syria, General Robert Mood. He was referring to a part in the statement that condemned the Syrian government for the artillery and tank shelling of a residential neighborhood in Houla.
Ja’afari said it was an interpretation of Western states such as Germany and the UK. He added that General Mood had said it was unclear how the mass killings had taken place and that the events needed to be investigated.
The Security Council released the statement after an emergency session to discuss the Houla killings. Over one-hundred people were killed and three-hundred others wounded in the town on Friday.
Press TV has conducted an interview with Kevin Barrett, author and Islamic Studies expert from Madison, to further talk over the issue.
Below is an approximate transcript of the interview:
Press TV: With the situation on the ground in Houla being described as ‘murky’ at best by General Mood, isn’t it a bit premature to interpret his words the way some UNSC members have been?
Barrett: It is. It is so easy for people to rush to judgment in these situations and go with their first impressions based on their prejudices and I think that we have seen a lot of that with the conflict in Syria and we have seen it with other areas as well and in Syria, it is just so hard to know exactly what is going on because it is not a simple case of a peaceful Arab spring movement going up against the government.
It is a very complex mixture of peaceful protesters and some non-peaceful, some violent opposition members of various groups and terrorist mercenaries working basically for the US and the Zionists attempting to destabilize Syria and these operators typically use deception to cover their tracks and to stage events in a false flag manner.
We saw that with 9/11; we have seen it in many other instances. So we have a huge credibility problem coming from the Western leadership and that manifest itself with the UN personnel as well.
So we really need to be careful and try to get as many actual eyewitness reports as possible and work hard to try to figure out what is actually happening on the ground in Syria.
Press TV: Bashar Ja’fari said it was no coincidence that this incident in Houla took place days before the arrival of Kofi Annan in Syria. Do you see the correlation here?
Barrett: Yes, it is a very suspicious coincidence. It is not obviously going to benefit the Assad government to be staging something like this right before Kofi Annan shows up.
It is, one the other hand, going to benefit the forces of destabilization and generally when you ask yourself who benefits from these kinds of incidents, you are more likely to get the right [part of it] than if you simply go with the first reports and given the complete lack of any kind of benefit to the Assad government, the benefit flowing in the other direction towards the destabilizers, it makes you very suspicious.
It would not make any sense for [the Assad government to do] this right when Kofi Annan is coming.
Press TV: The Syrian ambassador to the UN also called for the immediate halt in the supporting, arming and protecting of armed groups in Syria by certain member states. When asked about it, the French representative said the Houla massacre was separate from the issue of armed groups. Do you agree?
Barrett: [We have to know which] armed group we are talking about. There are all sorts of ways that false flag attacks can be orchestrated by groups that are on the opposite side from the people who get blamed for the attacks; there can be agence [agent] provocateurs who lead a certain government unit into using too much force; there can be disguised groups opposing as government units.
There are all sorts of various ways that these kinds of deceptions can be perpetrated. So obviously this statement was incorrect. We need to know which armed factions, whether indeed it was the Syrian government forces or some other armed factions that were behind this.
