a right wing activist Zionist supporter of that regime who is prepared to denigrate Holocaust survivors and their families

Just balance.
You posted the views of some left wing anti Israel holocaust survivors prepared to denigrate Israelis.
The one I quoted is also as much a "holocaust survivor" as most of yours.

Re Syria.
Russia is hitting all the anti-Assad groups, and building its already large force of "boots on the ground" who may march any time.

The Shia axis of Assad, Iran and Hezbollah are pouring troops in.
The West is becoming irrelevant.

The anti-Assad Sunni majority in Syria feel abandoned and betrayed, and with good reason.

I blame the left who thwarted Obama and Cameron two years ago.
