#Syria's regime appears to be facing a sharp increase in public criticism from across its population - people are exasperated at rife corruption & incompetence.
In lieu of this, secret police have been behind a spate of arrests targeting prominent critics, many of them #Alawite.

1. I missed @maddow today and just watched the interview with @jrpsaki. She made a pronouncement in the @StateDept presser 2014 that changed my life. She announced the #YPG #YPJ were not considered listed within #PKK #FTO designation and the next day, I went to war against #ISIS.
2. I knew they would win. But they needed our help then and they need it now. Too many times we have betrayed the #Kurds and it's more than Kurds in the new #Syria in #NES we will betray. #Sunni #Arabs, #Christians & #Ezidi can create #peace with the #Alawi with strong US support
3. the extortion practiced by #Assad will become meaningless. People are tired of ##war and #Turkey-backed #Islamists have got to go. Assad and the Russians can't do it because Assad represents an existential threat to Sunni #Druze, Kurds, Ezidi and #Christian #Syrians.

La #Knesset a adopté cette nuit la loi sur "#Israel, Etat-nation du peuple juif" par 62 voix contre 55 et 2 abstentions. Elle devient une Loi fondamentale d'Israël. "Un moment décisif" selon #Netanyahu, "la mort de la démocratie" pour un député arabe

"#Israel est l’Etat-nation du peuple juif dans lequel il réalise son droit naturel, culturel, historique et religieux à l’autodétermination" dit la loi. #Jerusalem unifiée est la capitale d'Israël et l'hébreu sa seule langue officielle (l'arabe n'ayant plus qu'1 statut spécial)
#Israel: Les articles les plus controversés de la loi ont finalement été retirés ou modifiés. Au lieu d'interdire des terres aux non-Juifs, la loi stipule que "l'Etat considère le développement d'#implantations juives comme une valeur nationale"
