Fears of extremism taking hold in Syria as violence continues

3. Once upon a time there was a decent liberal Left. Now it's the "New Left" (Stalinist Left).

It's that Stalinist Left that has people scratching their heads wondering what the hell went wrong with the decent liberal Left that would have fought for western values in Syria. Or for women's rights throughout the mideast.

Many are unaware of these faux liberals attempting to hijack liberalism altogether.

WRT Israel and the Jews, there's hardly a difference between the fascist neo-nazi Right and the Stalinist Left. Neither is more appealing than the other and both are very antisemitic. I recall stories from the holocaust era in which Jews from the Soviet Union were happy to see the Germans, who they thought would be kinder to Jews than the Stalinists.
