SyrianGirl , a view from the other side.



SyrianGirl visits Syrian 1973 war monument in Damascus




All I can say after seeing this video is that what can you expect when you are raised under the same news from Syria that contradicts itself every day. Of course you will get a view  from a rose colored perspective.
1) SyrianGirl does not mention that the Arab nations in 1947 and Iran today with Hizbullah talk about wiping Israel off the map or throwing the Jews into the sea.
2) Syrian Girl talks about Syrian air force ( actally Russian made SAM missles) wiping out Israel Air Force in 1973 war. Well it was the other way around. In 1982 Israel shot down 40-80 syrian MIGS with no IAF loses. Looking at the performance of the Syrian Army today and their fight against the freedom fighters I now understand why they kept the peace with Israel.
