Israel helps to prop up Assad regime?
Can someone please explain to me why we are doing this? As the Assad regime murders its own people, Israel, through the good graces of the United Nations and the Red Cross has just completed the transfer of 12,000 tons of apples from the Golan Heights (which the Red Cross insists on calling 'Occupied Golan') to Syria. The sale of fruit represents a significant economic and human link between Syrian farmers in the occupied Golan and the Syrian market, and the ICRC has been running such operations since 2005. The programme is only possible because all parties recognize the ICRC’s role as a neutral intermediary.JPost adds:
The transfer takes place annually. Druse farmers from the Golan Heights send apples to be sold in Damascus markets, where they come in plain white packaging to hide their origin.Why are we helping the Syrian economy now? And why are we doing so in a way that makes our help anonymous? If Assad goes, the Syrians may lose interest in the Golan pretty quickly.
Stupid Jews....

i'm quite sure it's not the israelis doing it but the gutless of the politicians.
I suspect its less helping the Syrians and more helping the Israeli Druse farmers, who have a market there.
I'd rather have a minority Alawi , Hama rules Syrian regime than an Islamofascist Muslim brotherhood regime
