YES. Noticeably absent from the main news items over here, they skim over it & use the same tired memes of 'brutal' 'regime' 'dictator' etc. Remember that the west, until very recently, did business with the 'moderate' Bashar al Assad, but now he's public enemy number one? We're even prepared to fund, fuel & supply weapons to the same people that our governments tell us are a threat both here & abroad: Islamic extremists. Well, that would be the loose grouping of the anti-Assad/FSA insurgencies.

The reporting has fizzled a bit because it's not going according to plan. This is about ISRAEL. NOTHING else.
