(MEMRI-TV) During a July 24 interview on the Syrian opposition Orient News TV channel, host Dima Wannous asked Muhammad Masharqa, spokesman for the Free Palestinian-Syrian Assembly, why the Palestinian cause remained "the world's number one cause," even though "the calamities of the other Arab nations over the years were no less tragic than the tragedy of the Palestinian people." "In 1948...750,000 Palestinians were displaced, only 150,000 of whom were expelled from Palestine. The others remained in their historical homeland, although in different places. If you take the total figure of 750,000, this is equal to the number of people who fled Syria and Iraq in the past three months." "Saddam Hussein was idolized by the [Palestinian] masses for firing 36 or 39 Scud missiles at Tel Aviv, while he was perpetrating crimes on a daily basis against his own people. The Palestinians greatly appreciated Saddam Hussein for this deed. If we want to talk about the Palestinians' approach to the liberation of the peoples, is it conceivable for them to support a murderer, an arch-killer, a dictator...just because he fired missiles at Tel Aviv? What about the [Iraqi] people?" 2016-08-03 00:00:00Full Article
