Do you support the Israeli-American backed Nusra front then?

Assad killed 201,290 citizens. Not supporting that has nothing to do with anything else.

Assad was definitely not a great guy but most of the suffering was caused by America and Israel arming, training and funding terrorist groups to attack Syria and sanctioning Syria.

Now there's IS giving away Syria to Israel for free though. What a massive win!

No the regime killed far, far more:

Just stop it man... Touch grass and talk to Syrians instead of using their plight as pawns in your imaginary game of geopolitics

NATOpedia strikes again.

At least we have ISIS arresting Palestinian resistance factions now and handing territory over to Israel. And you yelling at anyone who maybe thinks that is not a great idea for the future of Syria.
