A Lesson in Contrasts...

...and uselessness:

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu scrambled on Sunday to try to quell escalating demonstrations for lower living costs after a quarter-million people marched in the biggest economy-related protests in Israel's history."

And not a single shot fired.

Whereas just next door:

"The Syrian army has launched fresh assaults, reportedly killing dozens of people, as international condemnation of the violence against protesters continues to mount.

"Activists in Syria say army troops backed by tanks have attacked a central town and parts of an eastern city, killing at least 24 people.

Activists in the region say troops entered Deir el-Zour in the east early Sunday, killing at least 20 people. Explosions were heard in several parts of the city.

There are also reports at least four people were killed in Houleh in Homs province."

"The raids come a day after U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to immediately stop using military force against civilians taking part in a four-month-old anti-government uprising.

The U.N. press office says Mr. Ban told the Syrian leader in a rare telephone call Saturday he has "strong concern" at the mounting violence and death toll in the Syrian uprising in recent days."

Dictators kill their own people while leaders of Zionist apartheid regimes respond with promises to do better, at least. And the UN is useless.

I'm pretty sure these lessons will not be lost on the Syrian people, that is, if they even get to hear about it from their press.
