The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil,    but because of the people who don't do anything about it

The three were protesting those killed during protests by Palestinian refugees at the Syrian side of the border during Naksa Day. The Israeli military has declared the Golan a closed military zone and has maintained a large presence there in anticipation of further protests by those on the Israeli side of the border and Palestinian refugees in Syria. Israel may have to establish further border patrol units if the situation on the Syrian border continues. Currently the region is being policed by four of Israel’s army battalions which should be undertaking training for war. Israel accuses Syrian regime head Basher Assad of encouraging the border protests in an effort to take pressure from his tenuous hold on Syrian politics. The exile Syrian opposition party in America claims that Assad was paying $10,000 to family members of those killed during the protests. id Links to the latest articles in this section Refusing the war!
