Haha, let's see. Where should we start? The dispossession and genocide of the Palestinians might be a good place. Or the intentional attack on the USS Liberty in a bid to get us to attack Egypt in retaliation. That's about as low as humans can sink. Or, even lower, Israel's responsibility for 9-11. Or JFK. Or RFK
The most diverse administration in US history lining up squarely with Jewish warmongering. Israeli blood lust given a free reign.
But pretend you are unaware. That way you don't risk being called an anti-Semite. Which is way worse than innocent people being bombed for Jehovah. Hey, Coyote, you on board with this?
Let me see if I get this right.... You are listening to the Syrian military... the same Syrian military that used chemical weapons against their own people, and were dropping barrel bombs on kindergarten schools?
Screw them. Let them die. They deserve it.
So Israel is bombing Syrians on behalf of the Syrians?
Obama was paid to take out assad of syria (alawit muslim) by the other muslims-and likely Israel jews----
Obama failed and now biden's team is trying to get an excuse to invade and slaughter the alawits which makes Israel, the Sauds, Iran, and ISIS all very happy along with several bankers mostly jewish as this is about oil money and religion.
Now THAT is an asinine lie. Syria has very little oil and what there is is very poor quality. Its hardly fit for asphalt. They are a net importer.. Their oil business has been in steady decline since 1996 when it peaked.
You don't seem to know anything about Syria or what has happened in Syria since 2005.
I only post facts idiot..
When a legitimate protest movement developed organically in Syria in early 2011, the U.S. saw an opportunity to destabilize, and potentially overthrow, the government of a country that had long pushed back against its efforts for greater control in the region.
Syria had maintained itself outside of the orbit of U.S. influence and had frustratingly prevented American corporations from penetrating its economy to access its markets and resources.
As the foremost academic expert on Middle East affairs, Christopher Davidson, wrote in his seminal work, “Shadow Wars, The Secret Struggle for the Middle East,” discussing both Syria and Libya’s strategic importance, “the fact remained that these two regimes, sitting astride vast natural resources and in command of key ports, rivers, and borders, were still significant obstacles that had long frustrated the ambitions of Western governments and their constituent corporations to gain greater access.”
“With Syria,” Davidson wrote, “having long proven antagonistic to Western interests… a golden opportunity had presented itself in 2011 to oust [this] administration once and for all under the pretext of humanitarian and even democratic causes.”

The U.S., therefore, began organizing and overseeing a militarization of the uprising early on, and soon co-opted the movement along with allied states Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Writing at the end of 2011, Columbia University’s Joseph Massad explained how there was no longer any doubt that “the Syrian popular struggle for democracy [has] already been hijacked,” given that “the Arab League and imperial powers have taken over and assumed the leadership of their struggle.”
Soon, through the sponsoring of extremist elements, the insurgency was dominated by Salafists of the al-Qaeda variety.
According to the DIA and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, by 2013 “there was no viable ‘moderate’ opposition to Assad” and “the U.S. was arming extremists.” Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh revealed that “although many in the American intelligence community were aware that the Syrian opposition was dominated by extremists,” still “the CIA-sponsored weapons kept coming.”
When ISIS split off from al-Qaeda and formed its own Caliphate, the U.S. continued pumping money and weapons into the insurgency, even though it was known that this aid was going into the hands of ISIS and other jihadists. U.S. allies directly supported ISIS.
U.S. officials admitted that they saw the rise of ISIS as a beneficial development that could help pressure Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to give in to America’s demands.
Leaked audio of then-Secretary of State John Kerry revealed that “we were watching… and we know that this [ISIS] was growing… We saw that Daesh was growing in strength, and we thought Assad was threatened. We thought, however, we could probably manage — that Assad would then negotiate.” As ISIS was bearing down on the capital city of Damascus, the U.S. was pressing Assad to step down to a U.S.-approved government.
Then, however, Russia intervened with its air force to prevent an ISIS takeover of the country and shifted the balance of forces against the jihadist group. ISIS’ viability as a tool to pressure the government was spent.
To Capture and Subdue: America’s Theft of Syrian Oil Has Very Little to Do With Money
Years of US support to Al-Qaeda and ISIS and efforts to effect regime change in the country have culminated in the theft of Syria’s oil,…www.strategic-culture.org
Odd, that whole long history of interference in Syria's affairs by foreign governments... and, can ya believe it? Not a single mention of next door Israel (which is only bombing them regularly) as a "destablizing force". Methinks your info is suspect.
For a people who are the victims of genocide they have grown from 2,000,000 to 7,000,000 in a normal number of decades.
