If I see one more Zionist activist/politician parade some archaeological finding so that the whole world accepts that we have a historic claim to this land, I'm going to convert to Islam. It's the stupidest thing I have ever seen. ...He goes on to make the point that such things as archaeological finds verifying the Jewish history of Israel will not convince antisemites. But that means he thinks the entire world is antisemitic.
Enlightening article considering the source.
He’s right about the Alawites position. If a minority people rules a nation, they must be absolutely ruthless, or they will quickly lose their power, or worse, they will be exterminated. This is no truer than in the Mid-east.
Right now, the situation is as about the best Israel could imagine. A weakened Assad will depend on the Russians for survival, and have no stomach for adventurism. ISIS and Al Qaeda are caught between the Russians and Iran, and all of Israel’s enemies are spilling their blood on each other.
