I'm passing this along from my husband, who is not on your friends list.
Chip Molter says, "You said "His[Assad's] claim that Israel behind the scenes supports the Muslim extremists is wild and implausible ... to most people, but one-party Syria is a fertile ground for conspiracy theories."
Are you suggesting that the belief that Likud could once again be supporting a violent Islamist group is bizarre and outlandish? Do you mean to imply that this train of thought should be rejected out of hand by sensible people from outside of "one-party Syria"?

I believe it's been established that Sharon and LIkud were instrumental in kickstarting Hamas.
