"Fear is the first thing that war creates, that fear which forces people to be on guard. However, Damascus broke that pattern. When my colleague arrived I took him around the city and he noticed that buses and taxis are traveling around, people are sitting in cafes and going shopping, children are going to school. He asked me, 'where is the war?'"
"I said, I will show you before we leave for Cuba. And after less than a day, when we were traveling in a taxi, a mortar shell fell in front of us, onto a group of people, some of whom died, and there was chaos all around."
"I looked at that and I said - that is war. That resistance of the Syrian people, the unwillingness to accept the hardships of war, has inspired me."


"Those who are against us, there's nothing to be done - we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head," Lieberman asserted at Israel's "Voting for Democracy - 2015 Elections" conference.He's also previously called for new wars in Lebanon and Gaza, saying "a fourth operation in the Gaza Strip is inevitable, just as a third Lebanon war is inevitable, and for bombing Palestinian civilian structures:
"At 8 a.m. we'll bomb all the commercial centers ... at noon we'll bomb their gas stations ... at 2 we'll bomb their banks," he said.It certainly seems like Israel is going to be getting even more extreme and violent in the near future.
Comment: US still refuses to work with Russia despite the open invitation. A reason for this could be that working with Russia militarily would bring into question the current anti-Russian propaganda.
