can you imagine if there is a support group for an army that is fighting Israeli occupation?

"A telecommunications engineer at a leading tech company, he serves as an executive member of the Syrian Support Group, which represents the rebel army. He flew into Washington this month for key meetings with government officials about whether the United States will supply arms or other assistance to the revolution. (So far, Washington appears reluctant.)  He's not the only prominent Syrian activist in the neighbourhood. His childhood friend and Oakville neighbour, Anas Al-Kassem, 38, is trauma surgeon at Norfolk General Hospital who commutes regularly into the Syrian war zone, setting up mobile clinics and field hospitals as vice-president of Canadian Relief for Syria.  Both of these young men, the doctor and engineer, would love to persuade Western governments to get more directly involved with the revolution. In the meantime, they have become part of an increasingly sophisticated network of Syrian expatriates and other sympathizers whose support is helping the rebels gain ground for the first time in 16 months of conflict."
