    Just tell him Israel are going to send a load of Palestinians to live in the UK when they try and steal Gaza

    He’d be strapped up and ready to board a bus in Tel Aviv in no time

    Yeah but Sucky wouldn't make a vey good one, he'd explode himself at the bus stop, just because the driver wouldn't let him on, and you only get one crack at that sort of thing...

    As I said, I posted that wrongly assuming I was looking at the usual BBC Verify hearsay circus.

    It was in fact an actual situation in which children were killed while waiting for fresh water.

    I was totally out of order, and have apologised.

    An actual situation like all of the other actual situations where children have been slaughtered in this pointless conflict.

    What's happened in Syria, why are Isareli citizens gathering at the border (I assume it's Israeli's) - the IDF have told them leave this to us. I know the IDF have had to carry out some strikes on the Syrian military headquarters.

    I assume it's infighting, more postings of a similar nature on twitter, where Druze are being abused...

    I'll write it as bullet points just for you brb:

    - Israel sees the fall of Assad as a major opportunity to realign the political reality in Syria.

    - It doesn't fully trust the new Al-Jalani regime, which has its roots in Al Qaeda and ISIS affiliated strands of Islamist groups.

    - As we know, within 2 days of Assad falling, Israel had eliminated almost all useable heavy equipment once in the hands of the Syrian army.

    - Israel watched with grave concern as the new regime seemed to clash with and then massacre 1700 of the Alawite minority elites in the coastal areas of Latakia and Tartus.

    - Infighting broke out recently in the south east of the country between Druze and Bedouin factions. The latter support the new regime, the former are pushing for full independence.

    - Regime forces recently intervened with a harsh crackdown against Druze fighters.

    - Israel also has a sizeable Druze community who live in the north east of the country. Their relationship has always been somewhat complex.

    - Israel sees this as an opportunity to support the Druze push for independence, and even if this is unsuccessful, it will have hugely strengthened its standing in their opinion.

    - Druze support from Syria makes continued Israeli control of the Golan much more likely.

    - An independent Druze region would give Israel an ally on its doorstep.

    - Even if both of the above options fail, Israel hopes that the new Syrian regime comes to be totally reliant on signing a peace treaty in order to guarantee it's own security.

    Thank you for joining my TED talk.

    Cheers mate. I saw quite a few Druze men generally old men (via Twitter) being abused for no apparent reason other than being Druze. My knowledge on them is zilch beyond that.
