Syrian Republic or Syrian Arab Republic?
Syrian Republic is the wide title for such a country has a diverse ethnicity and religions.
I don't understand why we the Syrians have to help other Arabic countries, while they don't when we are in need. Syria contained refugees from Palestine since 1948 and gave them equal rights as Syrians. Syria absorbed all Iraqi refugee who fled Iraq for their lives since 2003, Also, absorbed all Lebanese in summer 2006 and gave them shared houses with Syrians, yet, I only see unthankful Arabs everywhere. Helping is good, I don't have a problem with that, but I have a problem with the ones who bite the hand that helped them, being against Syria in its difficult times. When are we going to put the Syrian citizen first then Arabs second?
Seeing a shrouded covered women from head to toe in the peak mountain of Slinfah was a bad view to see, and bad for forigners who might think that these examples are Syrians. These Gulf arabic people don't have any responsibility, they only eat, sleep, and don't help with problems, they even make the arab image worse when they go to Europe;
Back to where I reside in a foreign country, in a restaurant, I saw a bunch of Saudi men gathering around a table. They are a disgrace, if they are Arabs, are we the Syrians Arabs too?
I don't think so, if you can't see it, you feel it. We are rather arabized people, a unique mix of different civilizations passed through Syria thousands of years ago starting with Assyrians, Aramaic, Phoenicians, Greek, Arabs and ending with Crusaders. Arabic identity is a part of the Syrian identity, it's not the opposite!
When are we going to issue visas to Arabs who enjoy this feature while they don't do the same for us in this regards.
Till that time, when we make the syrian citizen first and the arab second, lets hope that the Palestinian olive, the Iraqi palm, and the Lebanese cedar will remain deserving our Syria's olive branch!
