Who killed more Syrians this weekend - the Israeli army or the Syrian army?

Answer: the Syrian army by 38 to 20. And the Israelis were only trying to prevent thousands of Syrians from crossing the border into Israel while the Syrian army was busy gunning down its own people. From the NYT:

Most of the deaths took place in Jisr al-Shoughour, where residents said 25 people had been killed by helicopter gunships bombarding the town and machine gun-mounted armored cars prowling the streets. Ten were reported to have died in the nearby village of Khan Sheikhoun, where tanks stood sentry between the main highway and the city center and a sniper perched in the minaret of one of the town’s main mosques.

“It is a big massacre,” said Abu Hussein, a resident of Jisr al-Shoughour with family in Khan Sheikhoun. “The civilians have no electricity or water, and there are no ambulances to hospitalize the wounded.”

Perhaps next time Vogue Magazine can arrange for some emergency treatment.
