Hostile, Aren’t You? Well, read the Washington Post. On December 5, 2024, the paper asserted that Syrian and other extremists “redoubled their push to seize Hama in central Syria”. Only the rag doesn’t call them extremists and doesn’t’ t note that many are foreigners. Moreover, it doesn’t identify the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, supposedly the rebel force, as the name-changing Jabhat al-Nusra. This was once a US-backed terrorist group, and outgrowth of the mujahideen used to drive the then-Soviets out of Afghanistan. It used to be named al-Qaeda.
Continuing, Washington, D.C.’s “paper of record” declared that “Iran is sending proxy forces to Syria, but they may not save Assad this time.” In that article, it affirmed that Syrian President Bashar Assad’s forces are struggling to hold back the “rebels”. Additionally, the Post contended that “Israel” has greatly weakened Hezbollah, “the centerpiece of Iran’s proxy network”. Consequently, if Assad falls, Iran will be blocked from providing needed aid and support.

And it’s just not the Post conveying this nonsense. USA Today maintained on December 1, 2024, that:
A surprise offensive by rebel forces opposing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime has led to a new round of fighting in the Middle Eastern country's long-running – but until recently largely static – civil war.
After a lightning advance in just a few days, rebels captured almost all of Aleppo [Halab], which is Syria's second-largest city….
The publication even quoted The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a questionable organization whose founder is Rami Abdulrahman, (born Ossama Suleiman???!!!). The organization doesn’t seem to have an address, but it has been reported to operate out of the multi-named founder’s spare bedroom.
So, What’s the Reality? As D.C.-area journalist Sam Husseini stressed, the Zionist Entity is using the American-brokered so-called “cease-fire” (produced by the “Israel” Occupation Force former soldier and now U.S. official Amos Hochstein) to regroup, occupy Lebanon, increase its genocide of Palestine, and multiply its attacks on Syria. I said as much in a recent interview on Al-Mayadeen, adding that Iran may well be “Israel’s” next target.
The Cradle and Al-Mayadeen, two reliable West Asian news sources make it very clear: “Israel” is attacking in a new direction. A daily reading of these excellent websites provides the full background on the area and shines a brilliant spotlight on Zion’s nefarious activities, including its ignoring Hochstein’s “cease-fire” in bleeding Lebanon.
On Dember 5, 2024, The Cradle stated that while the legitimate Syrian army is repositioning itself: “Militants led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – formerly known as Al-Qaeda’s Nusra Front – launched a massive and sudden assault on the Idlib countryside, Aleppo, and Hama early on 27 November, just as a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon was taking effect. The Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) force, which consists of many ISIS elements, is also involved in the assault.” Moreover, PressTV, the Iranian news service, reported that the foreign-backed rebels have, to date, suffered 2,000 casualties in northern Syria. The Cradle confirmed this.
The Cradle added “Ukraine’s White Wolves special operations unit is deployed in northern Syria alongside Hayat Tahrir al-Sham-led (HTS) militants who are waging an assault against the Syrian government in the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo, according to multiple sources cited by Al Mayadeen on 3 December.” Continuing, the news service commented that the Russian outlet Sputnik had declared that, in November, 250 Ukrainian military experts had entered Syria’s northern Idlib governate to train extremists in the use of drones.
The timing is important. The fanatics’ attack began just as the Jew Hochstein’s illusory “cease-fire” was to take effect.
Moreover, “Israel” has long cooperated with the anti-government forces attempting to destroy Syria.
Surprisingly, the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units (YPG) in Syria, a group, along with its co-nationalists in Iraq, Iran, and Turkey seeking autonomy, have withdrawn from the Halab area. They feared that Turkish-supported radicals would persecute Kurds living in the region. This unit provides the backbone for the “Syrian Democratic Forces”, an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK). As The Cradle noted,
The SDF partnered with US forces starting in 2015 to occupy large swathes of northeast Syria, including areas with Kurdish and Arab majorities east of the Euphrates River. The areas under US and SDF occupation are home to much of Syria’s oil and wheat production regions.
SDF and US forces regularly loot Syrian oil. Convoys of trucks transport Syrian oil to the neighboring Iraqi Kurdistan Region in northern Iraq. The oil is then transported to Turkiye [Turkey] for sale to Israel.
Since the US has repeatedly betrayed them, the Kurds should know better.
The Non-Existent Cease-Fire. Hezbollah eventually retaliated against the Zionist Entity, after repeated “Israeli” violations of Amos Hochstein’s fictitious cease-fire. On December 2, 2024, The Cradle reported “The Lebanese resistance [Hezbollah] said it targeted the “Ruwaisat al-Alam site belonging to the Israeli enemy army in the occupied Lebanese Kfar Shuba Hills.” The ZioNazis had repeatedly fired at civilians and launched airstrikes all over Lebanon, murdering many people.
Here’s a summary of the Israeli cease-fire violations, as told by Al Mayadeen on December 2:
· The Israeli occupation military targeted Tuesday morning the southern Lebanese town of Beit Lif with a drone strike.
· The Israeli occupation [military] exploited the ceasefire [with Lebanon] to infiltrate and reach the outskirts of the Burj al-Muluk–Khiam junction, adding that Israeli artillery shelling targeted the Khiam plain.
· Israeli drone strike on the Jan'am area on the outskirts of the town of Shebaa in Hasbaya district.
· Israeli military convoy moved from the area around the town of al-Wazzani toward Wata al-Khiam, with part of the convoy heading toward the eastern and southern neighborhoods.
· Movement of Israeli military vehicles occurred in the Shanhouh farm, east of the town of Helta
· Earlier, at midnight, Israeli warplanes launched an airstrike on the area between the towns of Sojod and Mlikh in the Iqlim al-Tuffah region.
· Before dawn, the Israeli forces launched flare bombs and thermal balloons over the town of Ayta al-Shaab.
· The Israeli occupation violated the ceasefire agreement in the districts of Tyre and Bint Jbeil yesterday evening, where Israeli warplanes conducted a series of attacks on several towns and villages in both districts.
Lebanese contacts laughed at the US media’s characterization of a “real” cease-fire in Lebanon.
As for the brutal genocide in Gaza which the Zionist Jews are committing (with the full support of the United States and its European puppets), the American press doesn’t describe it. The only organization in America which does is Alison Weir’s If Americans Knew. However, according to the Andalou Agency, the toll stands now at:
· Nearly 45,000 dead (not including those covered by many tons of rubble)
· More than 105,000 injured
While Binyamin Netanyahu, “Israel’s” prime minister and others have been charged by the International Criminal Court with genocide, many countries, such as the United States and France, refuse to arrest them, should they reach their territory.
COMMENT. Will the ZioNazis invade Syria? The Cradle recounted December 5, 2024 that “The Israeli military said on 5 December that troops stationed near the Syrian border are “preparing for any scenario in attack and defense” as Turkish and US-backed extremists continue to overrun Syrian defenses in the west.” Continuing, the site noted “[Israel’s interest is] that they continue fighting one another … It’s entirely clear to us that one side is Salafi jihadists, and the other side is Iran and Hezbollah. We want them to weaken one another,” an Israeli official told the Times of Israel.”
Looks like they would like to. To date, no country has the common sense to stop what is the most dangerous “country” in the world. “Israel’s” danger is its impunity. It so controls American and European governments and their media that its influence extends far beyond its military establishment—and that no one and no thing will hold them to account for murder, war crimes, and human rights violations—including genocide.
As for Iran, seven million psychotic Jews have long been attacking that country of more than 80 million people, assassinating its officials, its scientists, and its military officers. They have been using their control of the US and Europe to impose crippling sanctions on the country and its citizens. And they have been doing their best to either attack or obtain support for a Zionist attack on the Islamic Republic.
May the Supreme Being protect us if they do.
