Not British foreign secretary, William Hague. He wants the EU arms embargo on the Shankill Butcher style sectarian gangs in Syria to be loosened. It seems this British imperialist rat wants even more blood to be shed in Syria.

Claiming solidarity with the Syrian people, on 11/12/2011 the Arab League <br />
suspended the membership of Syria (Lebanon and Yemen voted no and Iraq <br />
abstained) and cancelled its monitoring mission in Syria on 1/28/12. The <br />
Organization of Islamic Cooperation suspended Syria's membership on <br />
5/15/12 at a summit of Muslim leaders in Mecca. Saudi Arabia, the summit's <br />
host, has led all Arab League and OIC calls for the Syrian rebel opposition <br />
to be armed, which Foreign Minister Saud al-Fasial described in February <br />
and since as "an excellent idea."<br />
<br />
By their actions, the OIC and the Arab League are themselves sanctioning <br />
the Syrian people in brutal forms and doing nothing to object to the immoral <br />
and illegal aspects of the American sanctions. Both organizations stand <br />
accused of abandoning their charters in order to maintain profitable relations <br />
with NATO countries as they funnel large sums of money and weapons <br />
to various militias inside Syria. It is their “agents,” the jihadist groups, who <br />
have turned on the Syrian civilian population increasingly resorting to theft, <br />
kidnapping for ransom, rape, sale of children and killing hundreds according <br />
to UN agencies.<br />
<br />
In one poignant interview near Omayyad Square the other day, a solemn, long <br />
bearded Sunni Sheik told this observer that the American sanctions are also <br />
directly targeting Islam because the sanctions constitute an attack on Islamic <br />
values. When pressed for specifics, he reluctantly replied, <br />
“Because your countries sanctions are impoverishing our people and forcing <br />
our Muslim women into prostitution. These sanctions are also flooding the <br />
streets with Muslim beggars, both adults and children. I am sure you have <br />
seen them, here in Damascus, across Syria and in bordering countries. But <br />
the claimed protectors of our holy sites are silent and shed only insincere <br />
tears in public. But if they resisted these sanctions they could defeat them. <br />
What is required in a 1970’s type Arab boycott of American and western <br />
companies until these anti-Muslim sanctions are lifted.”Arab League is a Zionist Weaponhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/103154#comment2941912013-01-21T00:36:40+00:00An Drighneán DonnThe so called Arab League is really the Gulf Monarchies.

As a kind of sick joke, they had actually called for a NFZ over both Libya and Gaza. However, they did not object when NATO chose to pretend that the call for a NFZ over Gaza had never happened. Nor did the compliant Western media report this call.<br />
<br />
However, whats really interesting here is that the Arab League had 22 states at the time. Its constitution demands that a majority back any such measure. However, the Gulf states took it on themselves to issue a call for a NFZ and to suspend Libya's membership. The majority of members - including Syria - did not have the courage to object. Legally, this call had no validity - however, that did not stop NATO using it as a justification for their genocidal attack on the Libyan people.
