Not so friendly reminder that the Al Nusra Front, which is now called HTS, forced the thousands of Druze in their territory to renounce their own religion, convert to Sunni Islam, and destroy their own religious holy sites on pain of death less than a decade ago.

So the UN can either keep them north of Damascus like the Suwayda Military Council asked, or they can shut up and stop complaining when Israel, the SDF, or the Suwayda Military Council bomb them when they come further south.

Last month I made a post about how I believed the "left" would turn on Muslims the nano second people stopped caring about the Palestinian people and I was wrong, it happened when the Syrian people rid themselves of a brutal dictator.

The "left" is so fucking infuriating like they look at Gaza and rightfully say "this is awful and needs to stop" but then looks at Syria and goes "well Assad likes the Palestinians so this is bad" like WHAT???.

Assad and his family murdered thousands of Syrian Palestinians and gassed their own people, like aren't we supposed to support people in taking back their own freedom. What happened to the leftist supporting Rojava and a Syria free from Assad, where did they go cause we need those people back.

And then the critzeism of HTS, SNA and surprisingly the SDF once people realized that the U.S backed them, like obviously trusting a former Al-Qaeda guy is difficult for most and impossible for others alongside a Turkish backed group which is a state hellbent on the genocide of the Kurdish people.

These people aren't saying that they don't trust them their just calling them all rebels (at times including the Kurds) ISIS, this whole time as just reminded me when Russian invaded into Ukraine and these same "leftists" started going full Russian and viewing them as some anti imperialist force and it's truly just obvious to me that these people aren't even on the left in any sort of way but are just opportunists who view anything america or it's allies to bad and everything else as good.

HTS forces mass execute Syrian minorities & post videos on their socials

Militants from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham have launched attacks across Syria, targeting Alawites and other minority groups in a series of mass executions.

Videos of these massacres, showing the deaths of numerous Syrian minorities, have been widely circulated online, capturing the horrific violence on camera.

I’m just going to repeat that under no circumstances does one have to hand it to the Salafi jihadi terrorists.

Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (the main fighting force of the group that captured Aleppo and now advances on Hama) is a U.S. designated terrorist organization that splintered off from Al-Qaeda in 2017.

They are called ��the Organization for the Liberation of the Levant,” but do not mistake them for freedom fighters.

The Assad regime is gone. Sadynaya Prison is liberated, and the depth of the Assad family’s depravity is becoming clear.

While the West seems to hold out hope that the transition will lead to something better for the Syrian people, the saying in the Middle East goes, “The enemy of my enemy can also be my enemy.”

The incoming warlords are the HTS — a Sunni, ISIS-adjacent, Taliban-adjacent, Turkish armed and funded organization on the US and UK terrorist lists. If you Google them, the stories would be accompanied by graphic, hideous videos of revenge killings. I am choosing not to link to the horrific murders here, but you can find them online, and just know that they are a tiny fraction of what’s out there.

HTS leaders and militants said, upon entering Damascus, “This is the heart of the Abode of Islam. This is Damascus, the [land of] Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz, the land of Islam … This is the camp of the Muslims. From here we are coming to Jerusalem. Be patient, oh people of Gaza. Say Allah Akbar!”

One fighter added: “Just like that, Allah willing, we will enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Prophet’s Mosque [in Medina], and the Kaaba. We will enter these [mosques], Allah willing.”

In this context, Israel has offered the world a gift, decimating the Russian-Iranian arsenal Assad left behind before HTS can get its hands on it.

The first IDF strikes were on Syrian chemical weapons depots and “research facilities.”  (You know, the ones President Obama declared 96 percent destroyed in 2014.) Then, according to @IDF on X:

Israeli Navy missile ships struck the Al-Bayda and Latakia ports, where 15 Syrian naval vessels were docked. They took out dozens of sea-to-sea missiles with ranges of 80–190 km. Each missile carried significant explosive payloads posing threats to civilian and military maritime vessels in the area.

The Air Force conducted more than 350 strikes on targets including anti-aircraft batteries, Syrian Air Force airfields, and dozens of weapons production sites, neutralizing Scud missiles, cruise missiles, surface-to-sea, surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, UAVs, fighter jets, attack helicopters, radars, tanks, hangars, and more.

The IDF conducted air strikes on 130 ground assets in Syria, including weapons depots, military structures, launchers, and firing positions.

No civilians or homes — or anything besides destructive weapons — were targeted.

Hey so, if you don't know. Assad is a fascist fuck head. However I probably don't need to tell people here that a US/Isreal/Turkey backed coup is not a good thing either. Yeah, that's right, this whole thing in Syria is a fucking mess. Honestly it should of tipped people off that it happened RIGHT when Israel signed their phony ceasefire agreement with Lebanon.

Those actors are not "rebel fighters" or "freedom fighters" or whatever. They are fucking mercenaries and it's a fucking US back coup. Shits bad yall. Like Isreal has been (of course) very fucking chatty about how it's doing this with the US to stop aid coming in from Iran and shit. And of course, it's another measure to control the area.
