Following are excerpts from a debate on the Jordanian JoSat TV channel on the crisis in Syria, including Muhammad As’ad Bayoudh Al-Tamimi, a Palestinian-Jordanian politician of the Umma movement, and Mahmoud Al-Bastanjani, a member of the Jordanian Ba’th Party. The debate aired on November 29, 2011 and was posted on the Internet.
It takes all of five minutes of a bad tempered exchange before the two men are at each other’s throats.
