    Assad couldn’t support Palestine because the Syrian army was on its last legs as we can obviously see. If they started getting hit by IDF forces the rebels would have pounced on them immediately and it would have been an equally devastating defeat. If not worse since part of Syria would have been under Israeli occupation.

    What did you expect Assad to do?

      They’re not saying that? They’re saying that this happens after Assad spoke about collective inaction to the genocide, precisely because Syria and Lebanon can’t do all the fighting by themselves when there’s this rabid dog of a state propped up by American guns and money.
