Not having to support the political choices of people fighting against injustice

As you look at the Syrian situation, dont be confused.  One can support the right of a people to revolt and with armed struggle against the regime without having to support the political movement that the people produce.  Look at the Fath Movement: I like many others have supported Palestinian right to armed struggle against Israeli occupation and aggression, but I have always felt that the Fath Movement (once the largest Palestinian political organization) is the worst form of political movement that the Palestinians can come up with. Does opposition and even hostility to Fath implies hostility to Palestinian rights? Of course, not. Stay firm and don't be swayed neither by the propaganda of the Syrian regime and its supporters or by the propaganda of the Syrian exile opposition and its Saudi-Qatari apparatus.
