A couple of days back, I heard in a podcast that saying the current #HTS offensive being linked to #Israel (or NATO) was a "conspiracy theory". In that same podcast they recognized that one of the factors in the success of the anti-Assad forces was the years long bombing campaign by Israel. Since the offensive started, the USA bombed #Syria twice.

Now, Zionist media publishes a FSA commander calling for support from Israel to "hit back at Iran".

An image of The Times of Israel, with a picture of a HTS militant shooting an assault rifle to the air. The article title is: Syrian rebel commander urges Israel to support uprising, strike Iran-backed forces.

argumento :socialiststar:
I insist, the coverage of the #ElectronicIntifada on the issue is the most centered one. At the same time it acknowledges that the Syrian people have a genuine desire of freedom from the Assad transgenerational dictatorship, and takes into account how the West instrumentalizes that desire, along with anti-shia Wahhabi forces, to strike against Iran and the so called "axis of resistance".

What we know so far about the new offensive in Syria

This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 425 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by contributor Donya Abu Sitta live from the Gaza Strip, as well as Issam Younis, the director of Pales…

@israel @palestine I also absolutely love how the West is fixated on Assad, while making deals left and right with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, etc...
@palestine @israel
argumento :socialiststar:
@israel @palestine That's a point Ali Abunimah from the Electronic Intifada makes. The West hates Assad not because he's a tyrant, but because he's not their tyrant, as the examples you mentioned prove the USA has no issues with dictatorships.

@israel @palestine Who can deny this point? We're right in the middle of a US-funded, and US-armed, Genocide in Palestine.

The US has absolutely no problems with tyrants at. all., if the tyrant is on their side.

Heretical_i hat dies geteilt

argumento :socialiststar:
The Kurds from Kobane are also very weary of the HTS for its closeness to Turkiye. There are videos of PKK militants being humiliated or called "dogs" or "pigs" by what appear to be HTS forces.
Heretical_i
The rojova not-anarchist Kurds=SDF and r involved in the destabilization. They're on the state department payroll just like the PKK. Clusterfuck. Hope it all undermines their involvement.

Ps. Know the ONLY THING Assad's govt ever did to the Kurds? For 2/3 years over a decade ago teaching Kurdish in Syrian schools wasn't allowed. The ban was recinded.

That... IS... all. I support syria's govt 100% compared to the option being offered by the SAME SCUM who financed libya's destruction
argumento :socialiststar:
We had this conversation before. Prohibiting a people from teaching or using their language is a serious issue, one that has a specific place in the definition of genocide, as language is a key element of culture and identity.

I'm not in the business of gatekeeping Anarchism, if the PKK says they are anarchists now I have no issue saying they are.

I acknowledge that Assad's Syria plays a key role in the "axis of resistance" and in supplying Hezbollah, but I don't support any gov
Heretical_i
1. Governments make mistakes. This was NOT a decree from an. 'Insane Dictator'. Most likely the Education Dept made the decision and govenment leaders were unaware or vaguely aware. Just like EVERY Monolithic govt.

2. I DECIDE who has ANARCHIST Ethics/theory operational. The Kurds were given Bookchin's books. They liked it, but THAT DOESN'T make them Anarchists. Taking US $=THEY ARE NOT. Us/EU 'Anarchists' in Uke militias? ABSOLUTELY NO.

Syria is too important to abandon (1/2)
Heretical_i
(2/2) We CANNOT let 'just anyone' define themselves as anarchist, or the word and theory will be made meaningless, which I suspect IS the goal of certain elements hostile to it.
argumento :socialiststar:
I don't think Assad is an "insane dictator", I just think he's a dictator. This trope of the mad tyrant is a Western trope that ignores how governments are complex bodies that need bureaucracies and alliances to operate. I do think that banning the teaching of the Kurdish language was a mistake, I just think it's not a light mistake, even if it was corrected.

The struggle of the Kurdish PKK has always been against Turkey first, and they have accommodated with Syria in the past.
Heretical_i
I agee with all you're saying, but a few things I want to cite.

The PKK was assisted in it's war on Turkey by the US during the Iraq war. Waxman's Nisoor Square/Blackwater committee also heard testimony about Blackwater shipping CPA Glocks to turkish street criminals... undoubtedly to distract Turkey from hassling the pkk as they were fighting for the US on the Turk border.

Also, re Dictator. All the nice guys in the region get dead (1/2)

Heretical_i
(2/2) Two cites. Gary Brecher, The 'war nerd', who it turns out is NOT a war historian, but a hella researcher. He mentions it in this history of regional factionalism from 2013 https://archive.li/Ot4cF

Also Bitter Lemons, a palestinian/arab-israeli dialog site that finally shuttered. In their last posts they basically say they gave up because the people in a position to make peace don't want that. Like Z in Ukraine, war can make one rich and powerful... if you survive https://web.archive.org/web/20130115165646/http://www.bitterlemons-international.org/index1.php
