In a result that is sure to be as confusing as it is shocking, the IDC’s Barry Rubin explains how Democratic and State Department sucking up has utterly failed to moderate the Syrian regime:
In just the last couple of days, Syria has openly defiled the grave of Eli Cohen, putting repatriation of the executed Israeli spy’s body out of reach. We were kind of pleased by the global outcry that followed, which was only fair given the din that erupted over the manufactured “Israel is carefully excavating land around somewhere that some people may have once pretended was a Muslim cemetery” controversy. What? There was no global outcry? Well that was predictable.
In other news, Syria is advancing its military schedule for the coming summer war, and Meryl reports that Israel is also suiting up. You mean peace overtures to Syria didn’t work? Well that was predictable.
