Thousands of Syrians gathered at Umayyad Square in Damascus Thursday to express solidarity with under the current pressures Syria is exposed to.

US former Louisiana Representative David Duke, who participated in the protest, expressed total solidarity with Syria saying, "Israel is the state of terror not Syria."

Duke added that "Zionism dominates the US administration, as well as occupies some US media, in an effort to mislead the US people," saying "no to war for Israel's interest."

Syrian parliamentarian Muhie al-Din Habboush underlined in a statement delivered among a great applause of audience that "the whole world knows that assassinating Lebanese ex- Premiere Rafik al-Hariri means assassinating Syria," noting, "we want the truth but not at the expense of our people's dignity."

Participants were wearing Syrian flags as scarf, chanting slogans "God, Syria and Bashar" and holding photos of President Bashar al-Assad as well as Syrian flags.
