[And] maybe impose a no-fly zone in, at least, part of Syria.”</p> <p>Ashkenazi led the Israel Defense Forces during four crucial years from 2007 to 2011 and granted Amanpour a rare interview &#8211; his first-ever on-camera outside of Israel.</p> <p>That country has been keeping a keen eye on what&#039;s happening in neighboring Syria, though Ashkenazi said that if President Assad falls it would present a “mixed picture for” the Jewish state.  <a

But now he&#039;s emerged in pictures taken at his home on Monday, flanked by current leaders of his African National Congress party, including South African President Jacob</p> <p>Rather than comforting, though, the pictures have sparked outrage on social media in the Rainbow Nation.</p> <p>Zuma and the other leaders are accused of exploiting the ailing leader, putting a frail and uncomfortable 94-year old on public display.</p> <p>The incident comes on top of Mandela&#039;s own family mining his legacy. His granddaughters appear in a reality show called &#034;Being Mandela,&#034; in which the family shows the business of Mandela-branded wines and clothing lines.</p> <p>Eusebius McKaiser is a South
