Israel Attacks Syria

Timothy Birdnow

Israel has attacked Syria, hitting Damascus, in a little-mentioned story with huge implications.

Read all about it here.

The IDF launched the strikes to protect the Druze, who are being abused by tthe revolutionary government there. And this is angering the Turks, who put a great deal of efffort into getting this government in place.

All out war could erupt in the Middle East at any moment as a result of this.

Read the article for a good analysis.

1 This was started when the islamists from Syria attacked and were killing the Druze and Christians in their homes. When the Druze began protecting themselves Syria sent in the military to protect the islamists. Israel fulfilled its promise to the Druze of protecting them by striking Syria putting an end to the slaughter of Druze and Christians. Israel wants a DMZ set up to separate the 2 sides and the Syrian govt wants full control of the Druze areas to continue their jihad against them. Dig a little deeper and you will find Iran behind this. A large protest inside Syria had thousands demanding genocide against the Druzes and Christians.

2 Good analysis, Mike! Very good indeed.

Except that somehow, you've neglected to blame Donald Trump for it all. DO see if you can't work that in to your next shot at this if you want to be accepted as "one of the boys."

Israel was protecting innocents in this.
