What if Bashar al-Assad called on the Syrian people to rally and fight in defence of the occupied Golan Heights? Who would respond to his call while Syria is deprived of 13 million of its people, the number of displaced Syrians as a result of Bashar’s crime? These 13 million people are in refuge around the world, according to the latest statistics of 2018. According to Pew’s study, more than 6 million Syrians, or about 49 per cent of the displaced, were internally displaced, while, as the study concludes, there are more than five million Syrians who have sought refuge in neighbouring countries in this region. The most important question is: Can a person who did all of this to their own country be concerned about the Golan Heights?
