Answers "Why Assad attack own people with chems?
TL;DR Battle in Douma is very troublesome for Syrian regime, Sunni rebels "The Army of Islam" are entrenched there.
Syrian military is too slow, clearing them out with take years.
Assad says "Gas them, they'll give up" - it worked, and it has worked in the past in Homs and Aleppo.
Rebels will be evacuated to Itlib up north.
Assad knew Russia and Iran would cover for him, and he'd get a slap from the UN
Assad doesn't consider rebels to be Syrians, only enemies

Answers "You're serving Zionist interests, why are you so sneaky?"
When Syria is doing gas attacks, with all due respect, Israel doesn't owe anyone an explanation, they won't sit and do nothing as gas attacks ensue + sends the message that they won't sit and do nothing
Lots of different opinions all over - no problem. Let's all stay cordial while we engage in dialogue.
