Former Syrian prisoners are firing back at the Assad regime
David Crossland

Yazan Awad, an engineering student, was 24 when he was imprisoned in a Syrian jail in November 2011 for taking part in more than 100 protests against the regime in Damascus and helping fellow activists who had been forced out of the country. Guards broke his jaw in a beating as soon as he arrived to the prison. He received no medical attention, and other inmates had to pre-chew his food for him.

For 137 days he was held in various prisons belonging to Air Force Intelligence Directorate, regarded as the most brutal of Syria’s four intelligence agencies. He was beaten with cables and with wooden poles that had nails embedded in them.

His wounds turned septic but, again, he received no medical care. He was given electric shocks and hung from the ceiling by his wrists which were tied behind his back — a technique which puts massive strain on the shoulders. On some days he was tortured for up to 10 hours.

Sure - they’re great at tormenting people, but absolute sh*t at their actual job of detecting/preventing Israeli air strikes.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I'd like to see Israel (with American help) roll into Syria, wipe out much of the muslim population, and assimilate what's left into greater Israel.

Otherwise, it will just get worse.
