    The issue of protection for Israel's allies in the south is being negotiated [with Russia]. The IDF previously examined the option of not opposing regime return to the south & ruled it out in part due to fear of massacres against Israel's collaborators.

    Minister of Culture Regev screamed that refugees are "a cancer in our body" at a rally in south Tel Aviv. Some in the audience then formed mobs that attacked refugees & refugee businesses in the area.

    Cuomo seen here marching alongside a right wing government official who once referred to African asylum-seekers as “a cancer in our body.”

    This immediately puts the King of Jordan right ahead of Husni Mubarak. Syrians, Libyans and others used to say that Husni was an angel because his forces killed less than 1000 people during the 2011 protests.

    Wanna know how bad of a world we live in? The talk of 22 Arabic countries today is how Jordanians are on their 5th day of mass protests and NONE of them got killed. That's how low the standard is here.

    1st hard proof of widespread falsification in what Putin called the "cleanest election in Russian history": counted heads on vid at 50 polling stations & found 31,000 (!) votes were falsified. Gogol's Dead Souls come to life.

    listening to directions on how to deal with protestors: they are all cousins and relatives, we won't harm any of them. We will use limited safe measures only if any body harms public property. Remember, they are all our cousins.

    Photos taken yesterday by a brave student in Damascus. Many Syrians obey to stay alive, not out of love for Assad.

    Doing some research into participation of top Assad regime officials in war crimes in Syria. So many of the videos have been removed from incl. abuse of protesters by Maher al-Assad personally. Thanks, Youtube!

    A storefront apparently in Sarmada, Idlib: "Please don't blow up IEDs & car bombs in front of the store because over half the products are on [were purchased with] credit." Lawlessness is a serious problem in rebel-held Syria w/ factions assassinating each other's personnel.

    Van spotted in northern Aleppo today offering trips to several towns in Idlib and "smuggling to Turkey" (a drive to the smuggling points, presumably, since the trek is done on foot).

    This is very interesting: the ultra-sectarian Wesal TV is stopping its broadcast in all languages barring Arabic. It has Urdu and Farsi channels that served as a platform for virulent, ugly anti-Shia messaging. From this tweet, one can infer lack of funding and support.

    3rd consecutive night of protests in . Mobilization mainly socio-economic: new harsh income tax under IMF-designed plan + raise in fuel & electricity prices. Spread from Amman to Irbid, Jarash, Zarqa, & Maan (most cities already rocked by “bread riots” in the 1980s).
