Israel Update: IS ISREAL MAKING A MISTAKE IN SYRIA?

Peloni:  Gadi Taub and Mike Doran discuss the situation in Syria where Doran insists that Israel is making a very great mistake in any effort to support the Alawhites or the Kurds.  He also provides his perspective that based on the recent agreement between the Kurds and Syria’s Al Shaara demonstrates that the facts on the ground have already out paced this effort, with the complete support of the Trump administration.  Doran goes on to suggest that contrary to claims of thousands of deaths, upwards of 17,000 deaths, there have been only some 1,300 deaths and among these, Doran remarkably attests that only 4-5 Christians have been killed, something which does appear to be far too specific and far too minimal without ascertaining as to where this claim might originate.  Doran offers one point of generalized support for this remarkable statement by referencing a video (see Video) which shows the Turkish backed Jihadis dehumanizing and abusing Shia while claiming that the Shia victims are Christians.  While this piece of Iranian disinformation is relevant and informative, it doesn’t explain the more specific number of only 4-5 Christians having been killed in Syria.  Beyond this, the topics of the ongoing feud between the Israeli govt and the judiciary is also explored as well as the reported and not refuted claim of Bibi being blackmailed by the security services.
