Even though the issue ...
... of hatred towards the Syrian regime being projected at the Syrian people might be understandable to a certain degree, it definitely isn't condonable. Apparently, some people, like those who form the "Forces of Evil", don't agree … since they've decided to act as vigilantes and attack several Syrian workers … which has happened before …Of course, a question tags along with such behavior. Is this hatred – misplaced as it may be – just a product of current events? Or is there a more fundamental and latent cause for it – in which case … who will the next object of hatred be?

Just to needle you Laz, but also to make a point.
I'd say your question is a "leftist-type" question (and therefore answer). What are the causes of such and such behavior? and if the cause is different the response should be different etc...
IMO, it does not matter. In a decent/modern/legal society, such behavior is rightly deemed illegal and should be prosecuted to the fullest, no matter who the target is, what the motivation is etc... End of story.

JW - the question "what are the causes ..." is valid ... but I am not suggesting that the response should depend on the cause.
This behavior should be deemed illegal, without hesitation. The reason for my question is: in addition to punishing this behavior, should other initiatives be taken in order to stop this from repeating? Or is punishment enough?
