Hazem Saghieh in al-Hayat on Syrian intellectuals and workers speaking out

Print Article: "The Syrian intellectuals have expressed solidarity with their Lebanese counterparts and the Lebanese people in their moment of sorrow. They have demanded what the majority of the Lebanese demand that is the withdrawal of the Syrian forces and the return of sovereignty and independence to Lebanon. Their solidarity was for the first time free of the familiar Arab nationalist and resistance style of rhetoric. It was a pure solidarity expressed by the intellectuals of a country towards the intellectuals and the people of another."
