HTS had promised to finish off Hezbollah but seemingly even that's not enough for Israel , who are about to annex the rest of the Golan Heights and are bombing Damascus right now.
@LegendofPeza I was wondering how the rebels are going to respond to Israel's occupation of Golan Heights. Surely, they are not going to allow israel to keep their land without a fight. Erdogan considers Syria a protectorate of Turkey.

It makes no sense now. Why is Israel bombing Damascus? The syrian army is defeated. Assad is gone.

@Jokersswild 'Why is Israel bombing Damascus?'

Because they can't see beyond the end of their nose and believe that the only way to deal with Arabs is through military might. A regional detente which would actually make the State of Israel safer is seemingly of no interest to them.
@LegendofPeza You haven't been talking to Al Jolani recently, have you?
@EarthlingWise He's now considered a national hero in the US. The guy wouldn’t even agree to an interview unless CNN's Jomana Karadsheh covered her head. I checked out Assad's interviews with women, and there was no head covering required.

@LegendofPeza Or else let us consider how personal prejudices alter our sense of what realpolotik actually is.

@EarthlingWise I gave you facts not opinions.

You have just had HTS say to Israel ; ' Hello, we don’t want to wage war with you, you helped us a lot with Hezbollah and we are grateful for that; we don’t mind peace and we will finish the job with Hezbollah.'

And Israel's response is to annex more Syrian territory and bomb anything and everything they can. There is literally no-one who thinks that is a sensible reaction or that it will do anything to help stabilise a post-Assad Syria.
@LegendofPeza They're bombing Assad's ammunition. Whatever.

@EarthlingWise Maybe they should have done that while Assad was in power and in cahoots with Iran and Hezbollah and actively attacking them , no ?

It's opportunism on Netanyahu's part and more madness from Smotrich , who said while in Paris in 2023 , that a 'Greater Israel' (as foretold in scripture ,lol) should reach as far as Damascus.

@LegendofPeza we can also quote Al Jolani then, but there's only one source of evil, isn't there? Whatever, I'm off it, have fun.
