I am weary of trying to read too much into anti-imperialist writing. It is difficult to find an appropriate position re: Syria. If you go too far in one direction, you're "pro-Assad". If you go too far in the other, you're an imperialist. Reminds me of the space (or lack thereof) prior to the US invasion of Iraq, wherein you were either with the war or with the regime. "Neither" never appears to be an option with articulate spokespeople.
Maybe the answer is to find out more about what Syrians think. You've invested considerable time into understanding the Palestinian POV. I think that the Syrians deserve the same kind of consideration. I'd start with the documentary "Return to Homs" that is now available on Vimeo for $3.99:
