there is no democarcy in syria and no civil rights .
however , there's alot of hatred in syria ...
as an Israeli I can tell you that most of us concern to your well being . as a democracy we wish you to have the same rights we take for granted . we also know what it's like to have no rights and being hunted for our beliefes from our short and long term history .
we find the fact the Asaad is butchering you undisturbed for the last 3 monthes outrages while the american response toward more moderate countries (lybia and egypt) was swift and strong . I'm pretty sure if you had large oil deposits the western world would make haste helping you out...
Currently you need to understand that no one is taking action to help you because of your "allies" china and Russia that use their veto on the security council against you . you should also thank Iran and Hizbulaahh for helping Assad with intelegence , weapon and soldiers to help killing you guys .
however , you guys still find the time to try and invade our borders , throw rocks and molotov bottles at our soldiers (yet still call this non-violant protest) and portrait Israel as "the little devil" (USA is the "big devil ofc) .
don't get me wrong ,
most of us dream of the day we'll have peace and we wish we could have helped you somehow but the minute we will try to give you some kind of aid Israel will be in war with syria,Lebano,Iran,Egypt and probably turkey as well for "meddeling internal arabic affairs" .
I also hope you realize the ironi that Syria,Lybia and Iran are or we're members of the human rights board of the UN and passed over 90% condemming decisions over Isreal while no one on the arab league condems Assad for murdering , raping and stealing your people .
I do have to ask...
how can we help you ?
what kind of help you need ?
I'm not sure how possible it is for us to help but at least it would give some kind of direction to those who can .
