well now that it's open season on @Makdissi 's defection I'm gonna release some of my private messages with him: #Syria

J.Makdissi
Statement was in response to false allegations of possible usage and wasn't a statement of using ... So it was to calm fear

and not a threat

29m
Dr. Jihad, I think you really put your foot in it, it was a very undiplomatic statement to make and certainly does not calm

regional fears

28m
most people perceived it as a thinly veiled threat, not as a statement to calm or allay fears

26m
I think you can clearly see that by the reactions out of several governments regionally and globally

J.Makdissi
Edward my friend .As if the west is looking to calm fear and help Syria .the Statement is fine but it depends from which

angle u look at it

16m
whichever way you look at it, it implicitly admits that Syria owns such weapons, not a very wise thing to go on the record

saying

15m
I realize the West doesn't care about Syria, no one really does. When do you think we can solve this crisis? people on both

sides are fed up

J.Makdissi
Are we surrounded by angels ?

J.Makdissi
Ur right Edward people are fed up .... I don't know why dialogue between all parties is so still forbidden

11m
frankly the actions of some of your troops on the ground is pretty horrific & certainly does not help anyone who wants to

call for dialogue

10m
it also fuels atrocities being committed by the other side, in a vicious cycle of violent revenge and inhuman acts. this

needs to stop

J.Makdissi
I see it on the contrary ... The absence of talking to each others makes both sides fight... Not to mention external

interference

J.Makdissi
I agree we need a pause but that can't be done when ext opposition refuse dialogue ...

J.Makdissi
People needs to accept each others

J.Makdissi
Even if both are involved in whatever


me: 6m
ext opposition doesn't matter much, have their own agenda. u need to be talking to the activists on the ground & rebel

military leaders too

J.Makdissi
Give one name who accept the notion of dialogue

5m
I agree, we need a truth and reconciliation committee just like they had in South Africa after apartheid to heal & mend the

rifts in society

4m
many want dialogue, but their hands are tied by the violence and anger on the streets. this climate in not conductive to

negotiation

J.Makdissi
Wallah I never felt so sad for the fate of Syria like today

3m
we need a ceasefire. & btw, as I'm writing this bombs and shooting is going on just outside in my neighborhood. this is

what we've gotten to

J.Makdissi
Hands are tied on both sides ... I don't know ...

1m
I don't want to play the blame game now Dr. Jihad, but decades of mismanagement, corruption, and impunity have lead to this

...

J.Makdissi
All Syrians are partners in this , in a way...... What is important now is that we need to talk to each other with no guns

12m
I agree, but time is running out and maybe too late...there are hundreds of armed men now in Aleppo, we fear a violent army

response

11m
those that will suffer the most are the poor civilians in those areas where there are fighting, plus the internally

displaced refugees there

10m
We need this madness to end. really, its just so horrible and inhuman

a while later:

what the hell is going on? your army is shelling civilian buildings inside Aleppo indiscriminately. why? why the fuck are

they doing this???

J.Makdissi
Oh my god ... Stay safe

18m
its going crazy here ...shells landing on people's houses ...people running in the streets, people evacuating ...please

call and find out
