There you go again. You're either too young, maybe haven't gotten to that chapter yet or simply choose to ignore Syrian aggression. The Russian/Soviets have been backing their proxy Syria against Israel for decades...
Source
In the period between Israel’s War of Independence (1948) and the Six Day War (1967), the Syrians constantly harassed Israeli border communities by firing artillery shells from their dominant positions on the Golan Heights. In October 1966 Israel brought the matter up before the United Nations. Five nations sponsored a resolution criticizing Syria for its actions but it failed to pass due to a Soviet veto.
Oh, look.
The Russians blocked the UN in favor of the Syrians then too......
This would be ideal propaganda do you not even pay attention to the RT propaganda and how the west supports rebels in Syria etc.
What goes around comes around eh?

What I'm saying is not hard to understand, namely I know Assad is backed by Russia, yet I am suprised the MSM does not make a bigger deal of it as RT does, the parallel being the west supporting the 'rebels'.
