Syrian Leader BEGS Israel To Cease Attacks! (The Jimmy Dore Show)

Despite Assad’s deposing, Israel has continued to launch rocket and drone attacks across southwest Syria, killing scores of Syrians. The new Syrian government has not moved to defend these areas, instead pleading with the Israeli government to stop the shelling — pleas the Israelis have ignored.

Guest host Aaron Maté and aron Maté and Syrian journalist Kevork Almassian discuss why the former Al Qaeda rebels who now run Syria might leave these Syrian citizens to defend themselves against Israel.
