Analysis:Russia's new strategy to prop Assad up is to destroy rebels' power base through ethnic cleansing, forcing supporters to flee as refugees to neighboring countries and eventually Europe.

Op-ed: There was nothing humanitarian about the meeting of Balad MKs with terrorists' families. Their minute of silence in memory of the murderers was a statement of support of terrorism; meanwhile, insisting on holding onto the Arab villages around Jerusalem as part of the capital is pure foolishness. Both only serve to perpetuate the conflict.
