I was discussing this with my mother yesterday. NBN TV is the most fanatic TV in defending the Syrian regime. My mother, who has been supporting the Syrian regime largely out of her opposition to its enemies in Lebanon, noted that Al-Manar TV seems restrained in comparison with NBN-TV. But it is noteworthy that the pro-Saudi element of the Syrian opposition--I call it Syrian March 14, does not say a word against Amal Movement's fanatic support of Syrian regime. It only mentions Hizbullah. That only proves that its agenda is related to serving Israeli interests in the region. I mean, if it operates out of sensitivity to victims of the Syrian regime, it would have criticized Al-Manar and NBN even more. But it ignores NBN and only mentions Al-Manar: it is settling scores on behalf of Israel. The Muslim Brotherhood is the most reactionary and opportunist movement in contemporary history of the Middle East, but the Syrian branch is even more reactionary and more opportunist than the rest. Syrian Ikhwan would sell Palestine and the Golan in return for a meeting at the feet of a Gulf ruler.
PS In other words, to be consistent, people should be attacking Hizbullah media AND Al-Manar TV. But their agenda is not related only to Syria but to serving other Saudi-related agendas. Of course, I am not talking about all the Syrian opposition but about the March 14 branch.
