INTERNATIONAL PAPERS, Mon. 06/05/13: International papers react to reports of Israeli air strikes on Syria. Haaretz says Israel is trying to send a "pacifying message" to Bashar al-Assad: the country’s sole interest in the air strikes is preventing the transfer of weapons to Hezbollah, not regime change. Also, Germany’s biggest neo-Nazi trial gets underway while the Independent says anti-Semitism is on the rise in Europe.
