I don’t know if it is a trick question but obviously yes, not directly but indirectly.
Since Iran is very busy with Israel it neglected Syria which the rebels timed it perfectly to take over the country.

That too but I really wonder if very behind the scenes there might have been anything. The US has certainly done things like that, thinking Iran-Contra.

It's hard to explain the Levant laissez faire attitude about religion without going back to the 1940s.
Saying your religion was actually considered rude. These are people who celebrated Ramadan and Yom Kippur and Easter with their neighbors without problem until the 1940s. It was considered bad form to discriminate against religion. I can find Talmud texts where the rabbis literally praise the Middle East and the Ottoman sultans as blessings from G-d and manna from heaven compared to sectarian Europe.

Ottomans didnt even label by ethnicity. Generic markers like "The Holy Land" were the names for Israel and Palestine. It was UK, seeing things from their own religious sectarian lens with Ireland, decided to partition based on ethnostates/religion and this is where the mess begins.

The Ottomans most certainly labeled people by religion. Ask the Assyrian Christians about that.

oh but it’s true. until the Jews came, there was no religious strife anywhere in the Middle East. maybe even the entire world.

This appears to be good news, people are celebrating everywhere and EU countries have stopped processing Syrian asylum requests and are planning return charter flights .
Israel is bombing the country and grabbing more land and has put some small villages under house arrest.
When I see what their official explanation is,
I don’t believe what I hear.
With Israel it is more helpful to look at what their long term goals are.
I think this is dangerous move by them, the people are tired of war and want to get out of military service and on with their lives.
Bibi needs trouble and war.

Well the Jews did make it a 100x worst and have been the source of continual violence, ethic cleansing and Palestinian holocaust. Maybe the holocaust Museum should be moved to Israel. You could do interactive exhibits in Gaza?

One more step to the Tigris River.

Yeah Joe Biden!! Making thing worst every day.

On Monday, the US State Department backed Israel’s seizure of territory in Syria that came after the collapse of the government of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, framing it as a defensive action.

Israel seized a buffer zone between the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights and the rest of Syria’s territory that was established in 1974 and also captured several areas beyond the zone. When asked about the land grab, State Department spokesman Matt Miller said it was important to put the situation in “context.”

The Jewish people have been in that area for very long time also many religions coexisted peacefully in that area.
After the creation of Israel after Second World War is different story.

Right. Only Israel has the right to defend itself. No other country in the region does. Israel can do anything it wants as long as it claims it does it "for its own security". Amazing.

[Anonymous]

Can we just fast forward to the point where Israelis and their Zionist supporters start asserting that there’s actually no such thing as Syrian people? Y’all know that’s where we’re headed at this point.

[Anonymous]

Also, Israel "preventatively" bombed Syria to ensure it now has no navy, no air defense, and NO NATIONAL RECORDS as it bombed the headquarters of passports/birth records.

Self defense, yo.

of course Iran was busy with Israel because Hamas made the disastrous decision to attack Israel … yet somehow the fall of Syria will be Israel’s fault and due to their colonization of Syria lol

There are some reports Israel is creating a “buffer zone” for the buffer zone.
Let’s make sure this “crisis doesn’t get to waste”, will be the advice Netanyahu will get from the hard liners in his administration.

Isreal is going to carve out a very large chunk of Syria.

The sweet sweet taste of lebenstraum.

That's because...

All of Israel's neighbors have been trying to murder them nonstop since the first day Israel was founded.

The truth is unpleasant but it's the truth nevertheless. Israel is an alien country in the Middle East. It does not fit with the culture, language or political landscape of the region. It makes no effort at all to integrate with the environment where it chose to plonk itself. All it knows is violence and aggression because there is no way for it to survive without it. In the choice between justice and existence, it chose existence. So it keeps killing and invading, repeating the lies that "we do that so that our children have a peaceful life", but the truth is that every next generation of Israelis experiences the same threats and there is no peace for it except to kill and kill and kill.

“The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either—but right through every human heart—and through all human hearts.”

At this point, where one stands on Israel is a defining line for me.

Because Israel is so gosh darn special that no laws must apply to it?

I wasn’t clear - where one stands is a defining line for me, and those who blindly, unconditionally support Israel have made a choice in support of evil and deserve withering condemnation in my book.
