The fall of the Assad regime: the rebels’ prospect for success or failure : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 16/12/2024

The question is, will the rebels fulfill their promise to be inclusive and lift the Syrian people out of their misery, and what can the US and Israel do to help shape the trajectory of the new regime.

There are only two known individual Jews in Syria, Israel has an open hand at controlling the situation for its own good.

Good job it is the Jihadists aren’t smart enough to fly aeroplanes or they may have saved the Syrian Air Force to challenge the IAF, who have total air superiority over Syria.

Bibi has it very effectively under control though, a position reinforced within the powerful embrace of Donald Trump.

Abdul el Egypt, has read the writing on the wall, and released eight hundred Muslim Brotherhood incarcerated terrorists to slip around the corner into Syria to bolster support for ETE’s midnight express from Istanbul, all the while repositioning the menacing cannons in the Sinai towards Israel; (probably with some prompting from the mangy escapee cat held captive in Hamas tunnels on the Egyptian border with Gaza, unnoticed for twenty years, under the turned up noses of the Israeli elite, until Oct 7 th that is)

Iran fades, Turkey rises! The question is not one of what happens to Syria, but what happens in Syria as it concerns Israel!

Following 1967's "six day" war, Israel's government promised that it will return all conquered territories in return for peace, genuine peace of course.

Israel followed through with Egypt, returning the Sinai peninsula in 1982.
Had Egypt wanted, it could have received the occupied Gaza strip as well at the time - sadly Egypt did not want it.

Israel then signed a peace deal with Jordan.
Sadly Jordan did not want the West Bank back.

The Assad regime has always been hostile to Israel and moreover, it invited in Iranian forces to threaten Israel, so returning the Golan Heights was not an option, but now it is, now it is the time for Israel to keep its promises and show goodwill towards new, democratic and peace-loving Syria.

#democratic and peace-loving Syria#..you must be joking! Have the Muslim Brotherhood been converted to peace loving and Democratic Christianity Yuyutsu?
Obviously Netanyahu doesn’t believe so!

Dear Dan,

«Have the Muslim Brotherhood been converted to peace loving and Democratic Christianity Yuyutsu?»

They obviously did not convert to Christianity.
Why would they - what example of peace, love and democracy could they possibly be inspired by in there? Yours perhaps?

Islam started off as a Christian sect, differing from mainstream Christianity and considered heretic for believing that God is one, not three.

«Obviously Netanyahu doesn’t believe so!»

Well of course he doesn't: Benjamin Netanyahu does not believe in anything
- neither in Christianity, nor in Islam, nor in Judaism (since he does not observe the Sabbath and eats non-kosher food).

- His only god[dess] is Sarah Netanyahu, on whose altar he is happy to sacrifice the Israeli people.

This new Syrian entity and friendly relations with Israel won't last too long.
It was never meant to, Israel will create some pretext for conflict at a time of it's choosing.
Mark my words.

The failed Arab Spring reminds me of Gustave Le Bon's comment that you can't change a non-European nation into a European one just by changing the superficial machinery of society. If you try you'll just destroy yourself. Through many steps you may be able to form a working relationship with some of these nations, but you need to be careful not to over commit. This is to respect that other societies have a different view of what works for them. Software needs the right hardware to function properly.

The dynamics of the culturo-politics of Syria is interesting and in a sense redefines the concept of racism and racial politics. I expect that the university academics will try to deny and deflect here for their own biased interest.

In this case it appears that the minority ethnicities have been the tyrants.
