  1. No, Israel has desalination plants, they are a leader in this technology. I've told you this before. The Golan Heights is an ancient military promontory to strike at the valley.

  2. Syria declared war on Israel, then agreed to cessation but not end to conflict. Not stolen, war has consequences.

  3. Israel's desalination plants provide a significant portion of the country's water supply. In fact, desalination accounts for 85%-90% of Israel's annual municipal and industrial water consumption

  8. No mention of the US Caesar Act protection/sanctions on Syria or the Iraqis taking away the Mosel Oil from the Kurds. The Kurds are now getting squeezed from 3 sides, a fourth if you include Iran.

  18.  @lv3609  "at some point" in Daraa Syrian police targeted young boys protesting the government with graffiti and made them "disappear"., another at "some point" in 2011.

  19.  @lv3609  Syria's use of Siran gas has been a tragic and recurring issue throughout the civil war. The most notorious attack occurred in Ghouta in August 2013, where sarin gas killed between 281 and 1,729 people. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) has repeatedly found evidence implicating the Syrian government in these attacks White phosphorus can be used in warfare, primarily for creating smoke screens, marking targets, and as an incendiary weapon. International humanitarian law restricts its use, especially in civilian areas, to minimize harm Siran gas used to directly kill civilians in Syria. NOT equivalent.

  20.  @lv3609  If they can do this, they can do that. German court convicted Anwar R., a former Syrian intelligence officer, for crimes against humanity, including overseeing the torture of detainees at the al-Khatib detention facility in Damascus
