Political Weirdos

it’s undoubtable that Syria, and indeed, himself, have indeed moderated in this respect

Only in the context that Al Quaeda and ISIS are now Israel allies. Specifically, ISIS has proclaimed that "It has no hostility towards Israel as it has never attacked them", and this demonic pig fucker, and his al Quaeda faction were simply paid by big and little Satans to overthrow Syria's leadership.

unfairly dismissive of what he’s actually done for Syria since he’s come to power.

Make Syria a Zionist client state? the BS about "previous authoritarian" needs to stop, as pluralism in Syria, much higher than regional peers including Israel, is the reason he was overthrown.
