Assad is in good standing with Israel's Likud party it seems. He, like Putin was considered Israeli's man of the year. Which is odd to say the least. Assad, supposedly went against Israeli's wishes as we were told by US media. We also have to consider the Golan heights issue as well as the fact that Russia worked against the wishes of Israel in Syira, supposedly. Russia bombed Syiran rebel and ISIS positions, Israel covertly armed ISIS as has the US through proxy countries such as Saudi arabia and Qater, who were the countries who created the salafist principality we saw in southeast Syria. Saudi Arabia in fact seems to have a good standing with Israeli's Likud party, even working with Mossad. It seems that the US is left out of the loop. That is, with China, Israel, Russia, Syria, and even Iran working on the Belt Road Initiative, with if ever completed would end US geopolitical dominance.

I have noticed people on the left, like Max "9/11 truth is racist" Blumenthal who pretends to be pro-Palestinian, called for the ousting of Assad. He supported the syrian rebels, who were nestled in with Al Nusra front and even Da'esh. His father is a Zionist and a clintonite.

So things are very confusing and something doesn't add up.
