"The Israeli intention is to weaken Syria, break it up, & expand Israeli boundaries..." Prof. Murhaf Jouejati
"They Don't see it that way"- Interviewer @MartinSmithDocs
"The French & the British when they carved up the middle east, didn't see it that way either."-Prof. Jouejati
The footage and interviews from @frontlinepbs’s latest episode, Syria After Assad, are just top-notch.
