Assad has killed 95% of all civilian casualties at least. All civilians killed by rebels are due to faulty shelling except for the two massacres by Nusra. ISIS and YPG make up the rest after that.
If all of what was left of Syria was an atom I'd still fight for it. Why? Because the people are oppressed. I'm not going to bend over backwards for a dictator even if that means all of Syria gets burned to the ground by him (as if he already isn't doing that..)
I'm sure you have a more reliable source. Like SANA and PressTV, right? You know, the ones who say ISIS is attacking Thal'lah airbase even though ISIS is nowhere near it and the offensive has stopped a few days ago for negotiations. But yeah, they're totally more reliable than groups on the ground like the LCC and SNHR, who document any crimes committed by any side. But of course Assad is free of any responsibility because he is part of the "resistance axis."
Alawite village in Homs? HAHAHAHAHA. That is the funniest joke I have heard.
Alawite population of Syria is 8.7%. There are <2 million Alawites in Syria, 2 million of 23 million = 8.7%.
More like 150,000. A lot of which are conscripts who are not willing to fight who will either run away or defect to rebels. Even some alawites are running away from the draft, and a small number even fight alongside rebels.
@Saif al-Arab, the nasheed you posted was so beautiful and meaningful, thank you so much.

#Tartous: Pro-Assad Gunmen (NDF) Slip Out of Control in Safita
The National Defense Forces (NDF) killed 2 Christians in Safita.
Of course, it is an isolated incident but what if that was done by the rebels ?
The imperial and local media would have been whining about it by now.

He doesn't look like an Afro-Arab though
Regime is holding on to Dara'a because once Dara'a is gone Izraa is gone (and vice versa, if rebels went for Izraa Dara'a would have been gone.) Once those two cities are down, it's taking the fight to Damascus. Regime would have to give up on Golan and Suwaydaa fronts if they don't want to lose Damascus. If they lose Damascus, they lose the Golan and Suwaydaa fronts anyhow and get surrounded and cut off. In short - if regime fall in Dara'a (and they most likely will), Syria is essentially free, as the road to Damascus would be open, and rebels are already putting pressure on other important cities such as Aleppo, Hama, and Latakia. They would have to spread forces thin, morale would plummet (more than it already has,) and people would desert. It would cause the regime to collapse completely.
