We admit, it is difficult to swallow the objections to genocide by the president of the Syrian American Council and its spokesman, Dr. Mahmoud Khattab of Chicago, because it is precisely genocide that Syria did its best to perpetrate against the Jews in Israel in 1948, 1967 and 1973, nor has Syria changed since.
We have heard Dr. Khattab’s objections to the would be genocide underway against his people. Perhaps we missed it, but we have not heard Dr. Khattab denounce his country’s state of war against Israel, his country’s wish for Israel to disappear, and his country’s arming of Hezbollah to help make this happen. If genocide is wrong, it is wrong not only against Syrians, but also against Israelis.
