But Syria's representative said Jeffrey's demands promoted Israeli control. Those demands seem to only be for constitutional democracy.

For all the rest, yeah, that's terrible. I don't see why we give such a big shit about Assad. He's a tyrant, but we usually just wait for those to die unless 1) they threaten something, like having nukes or whatever, or 2) we want their stuff. In this case it might be some #3 if Israel is the real shot-caller.

Israel is often using a lot of double-speak. I noticed that about Palestine.

Like: the Israeli are spraying the houses of some villages with pg-shit.
They also removed the olive fields, did something with the water.
Just to make them to leave "voluntarily".

So I suspect that such double-speak is also present in talks with Syria.

Like with the white helmets:
