Assad is just as bad as Al Qaeda.
He gave Hamas and Islamic Jihad a base for 13 years in Syria to order terrorist atrocities against Israeli civilians.
More about this sicko Assad.

He even targeted hospitals.
Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad’s forces committed clear-cut war crimes by bombing wounded people seeking urgent treatment in rebel-held regions, UN investigators said Friday.
The UN found Assad loyalists also tortured victims in their own medical centers, including a government military hospital in Damascus.
In another military hospital in the city of Homs, “Doctors were ordered to keep victims alive so that they could be interrogated further,” the UN report by a team of 20 human-rights experts said.
The regime used the denial of medical care as a “weapon of war,” the report concluded.
The bombing and shelling of hospitals began in early 2012 and is continuing, according to the report. The Syrian army has also occupied hospitals, using them as bases for snipers, tanks and soldiers, according to the report.
Ambulance drivers, nurses and doctors have been attacked, arrested, tortured or just disappeared when they tried to help the wounded, the report said. “As such attacks continue, field hospitals have literally been driven underground, forced to operate in the basements of houses,” it added.
The chilling indictment of the regime comes as UN chemical-weapons inspectors prepare to turn over their findings on the Aug. 21 attack that killed more than 1,400 people.
The inspectors were not allowed to say who was responsible. But UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon inadvertently said Assad’s regime “has committed many crimes against humanity.”
Ban thought his comments were not being broadcast, but they were shown on UN television.
In other developments in the Syrian crisis:
The main anti-Assad group in exile said it was “deeply skeptical” about Syria signing an international treaty banning the production and use of chemical weapons. “This gesture comes as too little, too late to save civilians from the regime’s murderous intent,” said the US-backed Syrian National Council.
Secretary of State John Kerry ended a second day of talks in Geneva with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in a bid to expand an agreement on seizing Assad’s chemical weapons into a broader plan to end the 2 1/2-year civil war.
