Syria's Assad Offers Condolences To Families Of Palestinians He Sent To Nakba Protests

Whatta guy!

I mean, who else would have hundreds of his own people shot--and then find the time to send condolences to the people he sent to the border to riot against Israel.

It's just too bad that Assad could not find the time to go himself, but like I said: he's busy with affairs of State:

On Behalf of President al-Assad, Azzam Offers Condolences to Martyrs' Families in
Yarmouk Camp

Minister of Presidential Affairs Mansour Azzam on Tuesday offered President Bashar al-Assad's condolences to the families of the martyrs Obeida al-Zaghmout, Qaes Abu al-Haijaa and Bashar al-Shihabi during consolation meeting in al-Yarmouk Camp.

The martyrs were killed by the fire of the Israeli occupation forces in Ein al-Tineh and Majdal Shams on Sunday while participating in marking the 63rd anniversary of al-Nakba Day.

And it's not as if the Palestinian families didn't appreciate the gesture:

The martyrs' families said their hearts were deeply touched by the condolence and thanked President al-Assad for his generous gesture.

Leaders and representatives of the Palestinian factions in Syria stressed their Standing by Syria and its pan-Arab and national stances in support of Arab rights, foremost of which being the liberating of the occupied Arab territories and the right of Palestinian refugees to return home.

You man recall how much Iraqis and Kuwaitis appreciated Palestinian support for Sadam Hussein. Once he was out of power, they showed them how much they appreciated Palestinian support for the dictator who massacred untold thousands of his people.

I suppose there are Syrians who are looking forward to doing the same.
