Do the Israelis really believe that they would be better off with Syria’s answer to the Muslim brotherhood running things (or, worse still, Al Quaeda proxies).
Assad may be hostile to Israel, but the United States is certainly better off with a secular dictator in power than with having Islamists taking over another country, as they already have in Egypt and Libya and as they’re on the verge of in Tunisia. At the very least Assad isn’t a supporter of various jihadis around the world, and he isn’t butchering Christians like the opposition.
Thank-you for the compilation.
