Farid Ghadry on the mass rally for Israel in Rome

As I mentioned earlier, there's a massive rally for Israel in Rome on Thursday. Syrian dissident Farid Ghadry plans to attend. Here's why.

There are two reasons why I am making this trip. First and foremost, i truly believe Israel is a blessing to the region. Imagine how despotic the Middle East would be without her. Instead of 22 Arab tyrannies, we would have 23. Instead of Nobel Prize winners, we would have more suicide bombers, instead of learning from a western culture right next door to us, we would embed further an Islamic culture gone astray, etc..

The second reason has to do with Baschar al-Assad. If he hates Israel, then all Syrians have the duty to support Israel. The Assad family has literally destroyed Syria with their violence, oppression, and corruption. If we oppose Assad's policies against Syria, then we should also oppose him in his foreign policy. The enlightened Syrians fully grasp his double-take and his mystic ways when it comes to Israel.

Sounds like that rally is going to be a lot of fun. If you're going, please send me some pictures.
