Dozens of activists held a candlelight vigil on Saturday night outside the Russian embassy in Tel Aviv to protest Moscow's defense of Syrian President Bashar Assad's regime. Organizers called on Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to open the northern border for Syrian refugees looking for shelter. Organizers said the event was held to show support for the Syrian people "who are being butchered" by the Assad regime and to voice their protest against Russia and China, who last week vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that condemned Assad's crackdown.
