Hello Joe! This is a very informative and fact-filled post. And still I don’t quite get what is your opinion here. Support the new leaders in Syria – or not? We all agree that the US gets into bed with whoever they think can benefit them. And they pay handsomely for it. But paid friendship is not a real friendship. They ones they pay may not be their friends at all. About the newcomers in Syria. Imagine all the bad things the US has done to the Arabic nations and the wider muslim nations over the years. Don't you think that that has created a bunch of truly, deeply US-hating young men? These guys must have found eachother and made groups to cause a lot of trouble for the US – and for their best friend Israel. Out of all the hundreds of millions of muslims who have felt trampled on, by the US war against Iraq, by the eternal support of the occupation of Palestine – and all the other things – the US, and Israel, have created a lot of people who just hate them. And if these groups were offered a lot of money from the land they hate – they would laugh all the way to the bank. Now the group previously called terrorists, have thrown out Assad, and the whole world rejoices. Would you expect these newcomers to risk their own, new, fragile country to be bombed to death by Israel, by starting the first week off with attacking Israeli forces? They didn't. They were smart and wise, and sat quietly in the boat. And the next chapters of this thriller will most likely show that within long, the US is bankrupt and then Israel won’t have the support they need to keep on warring in the Middle East. And Syria with their new leadership will be a country on the way to rebuilding. What is wrong with that picture, you think?
Mandela was a labeled a terrorist by white racists colonialists. Mandela rose and became a leader of his country to take it away from the tyranny of the white man!
This fellow is most likely another Mandela who helped already bring down Assad regime that massacred and butchered Syrians for over 50 years…..under the watchful eyes (hidden support) of so-called “civil and modern” white Islamophobes anti-Semitic colonialists again!
Please learn before ride the wave and follow those who pretend to know!
Mandela was a South African freedom fighter who was born in South Africa and lived his life there, fighting for freedom. Al-Jolani is Saudi Arabian, not Syrian, and he is a terrorist mercenary who has fought in battles and been well paid for it in Iraq and elsewhere. There is absoltely NO comparison between the two. Mandela fought for the people of South Africa; Al-Jolani fights for his own account and the strateguc interests of israel.
I have seen the depictions you listed and what seems to me is intended to degrade his person or the freeing of Syria from the grips of evil which by the way supported by those who are “telling us” how “terrible” this individual.
What has transpired so far in Syria reveals the lies about him. Moreover, if the people of Syria accept him and support him….then it is no one’s business.
The use of “head choppers” that you loosely injected here….is really more befitting for the likes of Crusaders and Zionists…who in modern times don suits and ties and project knowledge from institutions of hate and hegemony of the white race! These are the true head choppers that we had seen perform their art the last 40 years.
Thank you for your reply. Sorry…to disappoint you! He is Syrian freedom fighter as much Mandela was.
There is naked campaign (many by Islamophobes…racists…and dictators) to distort and conflate who he is. The campaign is to suffocate the genuine revolution for the fear others around the region aspire for such a change.
At the end of the day…..all the reports that I gather from Syria ….show people are jubilant and the actions of the new government are well received by all SYRIANS!
I wish the Syrians all the best as they suffered a lot on the hands of all types of criminals that currently occupy their land and Assad who was supported by those criminals.
Jude, the man is a head-chopping terrorist. He was born in Riyahd, Saudi Arabia in 1982. He fought wioth Al Qaeda in Iraq.
The whitewashing is being done by those who only a few weeks ago had a $10 million bounty on his head. Syrians are going to have little to say about how their land is governed. The groups led by HTS are all foreigners.
Hamas is a “terrorist” organisation in your countries eye as well, please respect our intelligence when you take a reclaim from the west as a truth
Btw I don’t even need to read your ****
What happened in Syria is that the people are liberating themselves from one of the worst systems to ever exist. From this country, the core army that will bring an end to Israel will be created, and it will happen within a year or two.
By the way, if you think the U.S. is all-powerful and can do anything, then how is Hamas still resisting in Gaza? Why haven’t they sent “terrorists” to fight the Hamas “terrorists”? 😁
You seem very confused. Hamas is a resistance movement, not a terrorist group. It is up to Israel to remove Hamas by removing the whole reaon for their existence - namely by ending the Occupation.
What happened in Syria is simply the result of a 28 year campaign by Netanyahu to sew chaos in every nation in the region.
Regarding Hamas in Gaza, it was Israel that promised to wipe out Hamas. They have utterly failed.
I’m confused. Haha, you’re using the Western starboard, not me. Isn’t Hamas considered a terrorist organization in your government’s eyes? So is HTS. So why do you believe them there but not here? Also, are the 15 million displaced Syrians confused? What about the one million killed by the butcher Assad regime—what are they? Or do you want to demonize Syrians now, as Israelis do to us?
Assad fell in 2015, with only 12% of the country left under his control. Then Obama and Putin agreed to share the cake. If you think Putin is a good guy just because he opposes America for his own interests, then there’s no need to discuss further. Here’s what happened: even with Iran and all its sectarian, bloody groups coming to support Assad, they didn’t manage to save him. So the Russians stepped in with an agreement with the U.S.
You can repeat what you want, but I’m from there. I have friends who died in Saydnaya prison because they wanted to carry out operations against Israel from the Golan Heights. Oh, by the way, did you know that Assad’s family, in 50 years of their barbaric regime, didn’t shoot a single bullet at Israel? Meanwhile, Al-Sinwar, in four years, managed to occupy double the size of Gaza while under blockade.
Btw, just look the video coming from gaza to celebrate the victory in Syria
Did you read what one Iranian general said about the butcher Assad last week ?
While the United States and Israel have classified Hamas as a terrorist organisation, Australia, the European Union, Egypt , New Zealand and the UK have designated only the al-Qassam brigades as a terrorist organisation.
A report (PDF) prepared for the Australian Parliament explains the distinction:
Hamas as an organisation has distinct political and military wings. The military wing is also known as the Executive Force. The Brigades are an armed element of the military wing and operate independently of the other sections of Hamas. They are divided into a number of independent and specialised cells. While the Brigades are an integral part of Hamas, they also operate independently and at times at odds with Hamas’ stated aims.
“Reminiscent of Ireland’s IRA”
The al-Qassam Brigades were set up as a separate entity from the political wing of Hamas for a very specific reason. In 1997, political scientists Ilana Kass and Bard O’Neill described Hamas’s relationship with the Brigades as “reminiscent of Sinn Féin’s relationship to the IRA (Provisional Irish Republican Army)”.
The separation of the political and military wings is intended to shield Hamas’s political leaders from accusations of “responsibility for terrorism”. This “plausible deniability” would thus make Hamas an eligible representative for peace negotiations as had happened with Sinn Féin politician Gerry Adams.
This is a valid comparison, echoed by many other political observers, and is further confirmed by the plethora of panicked screeds by Zionists condemning such a comparison.
As is usually the case with Israeli hasbarists and their media minions, however, “they doth protest too much.”
Indeed, the similarity of the situations is evinced in the fact that Ireland is truly “one of the most pro-Palestinian nations in the world”.
I’m sorry, are you trying to explain to someone from the inside what Hamas does and what it stands for? Btw Is the Taliban considered a terrorist organization too? Right, everyone who’s Muslim is automatically labeled a terrorist if they defend their land. Listen, if you believe the US is a god and that they created Al-Qaeda, good for you. I just call it laziness. Sometimes interests align between enemies, but that doesn’t mean they are friends or allies. You just made a big statement that has nothing to do on the ground or in the context of what’s really happening in Syria, despite what your title claims.
Hamas was formed in 1987, but was only recently declared a terrorist organisation by SOME Western countries. Most notably, countries like the UK, Australia and New Zealand dod NOT consider Hamas to be a terrorist group until only very recently (2021/22). These countries changed their own policy under pressure from the US, who was acting under pressure from Israel.
I explain all these nuances in my article, "Why I Refuse to Condemn Hamas"
BTW, I do think Putin is a "good guy", not because he opposes the US and NATO, but because, in every instance, in every situation, he can be counted upon to do EXACTLY what is BEST for the Russian people. That is his one guiding star, and he follows it jealously.
Living in the West, I am constantly disgusted by leaders who do the very OPPOSITE of what is best for their people, so for me, this "Russia First" policy of Putin is a breath of fresh air.

Hi Marianne, I do not support the usurper regime in Syria, but it is sstill too early to tell what will happen there. Hence, stay tuned!

From my article:
An “independent” military wing
While the United States and Israel have classified Hamas as a terrorist organisation, Australia, the European Union, Egypt , New Zealand and the UK have designated only the al-Qassam brigades as a terrorist organisation.
A report (PDF) prepared for the Australian Parliament explains the distinction:
Hamas as an organisation has distinct political and military wings. The military wing is also known as the Executive Force.

Unfortunately, your skills in English appear to be very limited, so you may not be able to understand the text.
There is one thing, however, upon which we agree: you are, indeed, confused.
BTW, I do think Putin is a "good guy", not because he opposes the US and NATO, but because, in every instance, in every situation, he can be counted upon to do EXACTLY what is BEST for the Russian people. That is his one guiding star, and he follows it jealously.

Like abandoning his allies, such as Gaddafi and Assad… Anyway, good for you. As I said, there’s no need for further discussion. Things are clear.
