Alawsi of syria appear to be most secular & progressive people in middle east, only after Jews. International community should take all efforts to restore the Asad's Alawi regime for peace & prosperity of Middle east. Sunni imperialism in not only restricted to political dimension but it has cultural, social, religious and judicial dimensions making the sunni regime one of the world's most autocratic regimes.

Thus a sunni dictatorship leaves little scope for freedom of minorities. In fact all minorities of Middle east like Druze, Jews, Romas, Circassians, christians should unite against sunni hegemony. Alawis, for me, appear to be potential ally for Jews.
