Israeli experts: Demise of Syria regime is only a matter of time
Despite using considerable force, killing 1,500 civilians,
demonstrations intensify; Alawite minority’s days in power numbered,
say analysts.

Israeli defense officials said in a recent analysis it's just a matter
of time before Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime falls. This line
echoes comments by Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who last month told
Haaretz he thought Assad's regime would fall within several months.
 
Over the past three months, more than 2,000 soldiers unwilling to put
down the anti-regime protests throughout the country have deserted the
Syrian army, which has been showing major signs of fatigue.
 
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators are thought to have taken part
in protests last week in Hama, where Assad's father and predecessor
Hafez Assad slaughtered tens of thousands of members of the Muslim
Brotherhood in 1982.
 
Last week, the security forces in Hama were ordered not to confront
the protesters, which simply increased the demonstrators' audacity.
 
Protests have also increased recently in the suburbs of Damascus,
though the regime has managed to head off demonstrations in the center
of the capital. Israeli defense analysts stress the increase in the
demonstrations' size and the protesters' greater willingness to risk
their lives.
 
Demonstrations last weekend were among the largest since the protests
broke out in late January.
 
The Syrian regime has killed more than 1,500 civilians, human rights
groups say, and about 12,000 people have been arrested. Nonetheless,
it appears the regime's opponents have not managed to create a unified
leadership.
 
Assad has tried to soften the opposition via gestures such as legal
and economic reforms and the granting of Syrian ID cards to members of
the Kurdish minority. He has also increased subsidies on basic
foodstuffs.
 
One extraordinary step for his Alawite regime, which is largely
secular, has been to allow female students at universities to wear
veils.
 
For the time being, the Alawite community is supporting Assad, for
whom they do not see a replacement within the community.
 
The protests could lead to a more direct confrontation between the
Sunni Muslim majority and the Alawite minority, and the disintegration
of the army.

Con la caduta di Assad i conti geopolitici comincerebbero a tornare. 
Infatti vedo gli ayatollah completamente fuori di testa.

 Infatti vedo gli ayatollah completamente fuori di testa.
 
chi sta tentando di soffocare il popolo iraniano con l'embargo (che
autorevoli commentatori definiscono a tutti gli effetti una
dichiarazione di guerra) non sono gli ayatollah.

Scusa se te lo dico: è abbastanza ridicolo questo tuo tentativo di far 
vergognare un "sionista" per il fatto che, col suo entusiastico 
supporto, si punisce un intero popolo.
Per lui è un successo!
 
Bisogna prendere atto di cosa sono i "sionisti", e smetterla di sperare 
che possano diventare qualcosa di diverso da quello che sono: fascisti.

e passare quindi alla punizione collettiva di chi si dichiara
sionista. Vale a dire, l'intero sistema scolastico israeliano, le
organizzazioni ebraiche della diaspora ecc. ecc.
