I remember the days before 2010 and the breakout of the U.S/israel engineered civil war (terrorist infiltration) in Syria with the "Assad kills his own people" media narrative. Syria had become the "gem" of the Middle East and Bashar was beloved by his people. And he always was as the uprising to come was not a populist movement. Bashar was an MD trained as a opthamalogic surgeon whose medical career was diverted when his older brother was killed in a car accident and Bashar took his place as an heir to leadership. His wife was a glamorous and brilliant woman trained in computer science and banking. And both were passionate about helping the people of Syria and raising a family. In a Zionist free world Syria was set for success. But 15 years of meddling and terrorist plots eventually brought his regime to an end. Zionists don't like authoritarian governments. They can be difficult to control if the leader cannot be corrupted. Such was Bashar Al-Assad. Muamar Gadaffi and Sadaam Hussein were similar in that respect. All of them "had to go" and they did by the power and money of the U.S. and it's special relationship to Israel.
