The Arab International Forum for the Support of the Resistance
Beirut Lebanon 15-17 January 2010 (english version)
By Lasse Wilhelmson
February 02, 2010 " http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/ - conference concerning the resistance, held in Beirut from the 15th to 17th January 2010, was an overwhelming experience for me personally with its almost 10 000 delegates from all over the Arab world and a small number from Europe and the US. It was indeed a great honour for Sweden to have a delegation of four. The conference opened at the UNESCO Palace where the leaders of Hezbollah, Hamas and Iraq�s armed resistance, in that order, held introductions that set the tone for the conference. Prominent religious Muslim leaders and representatives of Syria�s government also spoke. It was a powerful manifestation of unity against the politics of Israel and the US and, with no name mentioned serious criticism of Egypt, and open praise for Iran.

Upon the initiative of the Consultative Center for Studies and Documentation in Beirut and in collaboration with the National Gathering to Support the Choice of Resistance in Lebanon, the International Campaign against American and Zionist Occupation (Cairo Conference), the International Anti-Imperialist and Peoples' Solidarity Forum (Calcutta Conference - India), and the �Stop War Campaign� (London), with the participation of around 450 international and Arab bodies, in addition to social movements and figures from 66 countries, �The Beirut International Forum for Resistance, Anti-Imperialism, Solidarity between Peoples, and Alternatives� was held at the UNESCO Palace on January 16th, 17th and 18th, 2009.
This forum coincided with the terrorist and criminal attack launched by �Israel� against the Palestinians in Gaza, at a time when the whole world is facing financial, economic and political crises resulting mainly from the policies of war and hegemony. The forum aimed at reinforcing the possibility of building an alternative world based on the principles of respecting humanity as a whole and defending the vulnerable and oppressed in the world........
