So I’m following up closely what’s happening in Syria and I can’t stop asking my self how come Syria never used that eminent army of theirs to free the occupied territory in the Golan heights.
Hezbollah’s Nasrallah wants to fool his followers that he’s supporting Syria’s regime because it is fiercely anti-Israeli and pro-resistance … but is it really?

Here are the facts:

• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against Hezbollah than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against the Lebanese army than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against the Lebanese war militias than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against the Palestinian camps than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against its own people in 1982 than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against Michel Aoun’s army than it ever did against Israel
• Syria’s army carried out more military actions against its own people in 2011–2012 than it ever did against Israel

Moreover, Syria’s army carried out more military actions against Lebanese politicians (using their secret service or moukhabarat) than it ever did against Israeli diplomats and politicians
The last time Syria fired a bullet in the Golan was during the Six-Day war in 1967… and what a failure that was.

I was watching a heated discussion last time on Al Jazeera when a spokesman to the Free Syrian Army gave me the goosebumps when he passionately yelled:

“If the Syrian army would have used all that power used in Homs, they would have liberated the Golan height a long time ago” (My translation doesn’t do justice to the authenticity and sincerity of his voice.
The full show can be viewed here. )

To the Free Syrian Army and the Syrian people… I salute you.
