(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Lebanese newspaper As-Safir on Tuesday said that the meeting held on Monday at Cinema St. Germaine in Paris under the name of "popular movement in Syria" was organized by La Regle du Jeu (The Rule of the Game) magazine and website which is headed by Bernard-Henri Levy, one of the staunchest defenders of Israel along with other French figures that can only be described as Israel's friends in France.
The meeting was attended by Syrian opposition figures including members of Antalya Conference executive office Omar al-Azem, Ahd al-Hini, Abdel Ilah Melhem, Lama Atassi, Ammar al-Qorabi, Sundos Souleyman et Adib al-Chichakli.
The article pointed out that former French Minister of Foreign Affairs Bernard Kouchner, who was one of Israel's biggest supporters in the French Ministry, was present, alongside other defenders of Israel such as philosopher Andre Glucksman, Frederic Encel who is known for his racist anti-Arab stances, and other pro-Israel figures, in addition to former Israeli Knesset member and assistant of Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak.
The Muslim Brotherhood was also represented at the meeting by Mulham al-Droubi, who is in charge of international affairs in the group.
When asked if he's bothered by attending an event supported by Zionists and friends of Israel, al-Droubi said that La Regle du Jeu isn't the only organizer that called for the meeting, adding "what concerns us is that there is a platform."
The meeting's goals of destabilizing security in Syria to serve Israel was made quite apparent by Kouchner's statement, who said that there is a need for weakening Iran, Syria and Hezbollah, and resorted to provoking sectarianism by talking about majorities and minorities in Syria and "the need to protect Christians because they are the ones being killed the most" according to his claims.
Kouchner also called for turning international public opinion against Syria and resorting to the Security Council to find an excuse for a military strike against Syria.
In turn, Bernard-Henri Levy said that La Regle du Jeu will provide space in its magazine and website for "videos from across Syria." He also vowed to work with Syrian opposition figures to "bring down the regime in Syria" on behalf on the magazine's editors.
