Freedom!
You are parroting your master Netanyahu or Trump or Obama or whoever who just dangles on puppet threads. Otherwise you would say that armed terrorists are not an opposition but terrorists. Since you love Islamist terrorists, why does Hamas have not a representation in the Knesset and why the IDF bombs them, killing thousands of children in the process?So you come up with tribes again? President Assad is the democratically elected President. He does not belong to an ancient tribe. And if he did, what about all the other tribes? Who can you determine legitimacy by tribes? Are you an jungle medicine man or something? A cannibal?What if those tribes revive their identities?
Instead of evading,
better tell me who among those local tribes does the Syrian regime consider as enemies.
And more important - to which tribe do Assad, Khamenai and Nasrallah belong?
Clearly You cannot answer a simple question, because You have no idea about Syria and who among the Syrians themselves oppose Assad.
Your Magnificent Hero, and his father for 30 years - simply said what You parrot "what civilians?" and went on to bomb (or gas or who knows what) their opposition out of existence.
Q. And all You've got is saying I'm a cannibal and Assad is a Hero...
What's wrong with You?!
I asked you what opposition and what civilians but you refuse to reply because it is al-Qaeda and similar groups and their human shields.
You just show further why people oppose the likes of Assad.
It's easier to call Your own citizens "al-Qaeda" when they oppose You.
Syria is majority Sunni, not Shia or Alawite, and those tribal boundaries never ceased to exist or to influence Syrian society.
Syrian Tribal Networks and their Implications for the Syrian Uprising
Sunni Arab tribalism has a significant socio-cultural, political, and security impact on the current uprising in Syria, with strong implications for post-Assad governance formation. Tribalism has fueled unrest throughout Syria, including in places such as Dera’a, where mass opposition demonstrations began on March 15, 2011, in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor on the Euphrates River, and in the suburbs of Homs and Damascus, where some of the fiercest combat between the Syrian military and armed opposition groups has occurred. Millions of rural and urban Syrians express an active tribal identity and tribal affiliation is used extensively to mobilize the political and armed opposition against the Assad government as well as to organize paramilitary forces in support of the Syrian regime. Both the Syrian opposition and the Assad government recognize the political importance of the tribal networks that cross Syria and extend into neighboring countries. As a result, the support of Syria’s tribes is a strategic goal for both the Syrian government and the Syrian opposition.

Q. Are You saying all above are not citizens?
