The businessman Said,

"Assad has a lot of respect for the Jewish Religion- Syria is not Egypt or Jordan. The Syrians have a different Mentality- they want to do Business and Enjoy life... They Just want the Jews to see that the Syrian Govt Respects the Jewish Religion....... I hope this will be my last post on this topic, as i stated my Opinion on what I feel about the Repressive Syrian regime and people- This 35 year old Syrian Businessman(orignally from syria)  that accompanied the self serving Malcolm Hoenilein on a trip to Damascus to see some old Torah Scrolls and give legitimacy to the Syrian govt, is a douche bag and that's being kind - clearly he wants to forget how the Jews suffered in Syria, How they were murdered, Humiliated, confined to areas- The only thing that changed between Bashar Assad Regime and the Haffetz El Assad Regime there are no Jews Left. This is the same country that sponsors Hezbollah, is holding on to information about 3 missing Israeli P.O.W from the battle of Sultan Yacoub, and keeps reburying the Bones of the Spy Elie Cohen. I keep thinking at the wisdom of Begin, When he begged Golda Meir to Enter Damascus with Israeli Tanks and rescue Syrian Jewry During the Yom Kippur War.
