the plan was to bring down president al-assad by inciting the people to create as much pressure on the local authorities as possible ; and then by way of the governor , influence the armed forces , and the security forces to switch allegiance from the president and the baath party to the jewish rabbi , but not as a vehicle to put the jews in power ; but by way of the rabbi as a communication tool for the people of syria ; all the people , the jews , the arabs and the minority christians .
