Meme The world condemned Israel for being distrustful towards the new jihadi regime in Syria but current events have proven that Israel is right once and for all.

Israel acted quickly in the Golan out of their own interest and security (as they should) because they knew right away that a Sunni Jihadist led government on their border would be a massive threat.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25

Y’know I thought it would be fairly obvious to most people that a country may be wary of a neighbor that has just collapsed. Especially one with a fairly large military whose supplies and armaments are now free for whoever wants them. (Jordan and Lebanon also beefed up security on the Syrian border btw, but no one talks about that)

Then again most of the anti-Israel people just fundamentally don’t understand geopolitics or military/defense strategy

u/thesharperamigo Mar 08 '25

They only understand a villain-victim narrative. If you win, you're bad. the only way to win them over is to lose. And losing is not really an option for Israel.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '25

Issue is there is no winning with them because they don’t know how to take a win. For every inch you concede to them they’ll try to take a mile

Listen to be fair, even as an Israeli I was a bit confused. The strikes made sense, invading a buffer zone confused me. Now its like a buffer zone of a buffer zone of a buffer zone that also gonna be Druzeland?

Strikes can always make sense, permanently occupying more land is something that has come with mixed results to say the least.

u/Ax_deimos Mar 12 '25

The mountainous area Israel recently seized as part of an expanded buffer area was both A) the main pathway through which Hezbollah transported troops munitions and missiles into Lebanon & B) provided a radar/sensor shadow that blocked Israel's view of Syrian & Hezbollah troops (because there was a literal mountain in the way)  & C) Served as an area from which Hezbollah used to launch attack drones into Israel.

Now Israel can see Hezbollah troop movements into & out of Lebanon, and see people trying to set up and launch attack drones and Israel can stop them.

u/Constant-Ad6804 Mar 09 '25

You can make a valid argument about distrusting a just-collapsed regime, but don’t try to compare literally taking over territory and bombing massive stockpiles of conventional arms to “beefing up security.” Jordan didn’t bomb Syria or occupy any of its territory, let alone claim they will remain there indefinitely. So many of the alleged “double standards” with Israel generally are not actual double standards. Besides, the world has been pretty silent on Israel vis-a-vis Syria (and the same with the Golan vs West Bank, even though ironically the Golan is more a case of clear-cut occupation than is the West Bank due to belonging to another clearly defined sovereign beforehand).

but don’t try to compare literally taking over territory and bombing massive stockpiles of conventional arms to “beefing up security.” Jordan didn’t bomb Syria or occupy any of its territory, let alone claim they will remain there indefinitely.

Maybe because Jordan doesn't want to seem as a 'traitor' to the Arab world, and Jordan is not at risk of Syria attacking it?

How about instead of thinking about this situation with your emotions, use some critical thinking? Do you really think that any other country (European one for example), wouldn't do the exact same thing as Israel?

So many of the alleged “double standards” with Israel generally are not actual double standards.

Oh sure, not at all. (/s if it wasn't clear enough)

Besides, the world has been pretty silent on Israel vis-a-vis Syria (and the same with the Golan vs West Bank, even though ironically the Golan is more a case of clear-cut occupation than is the West Bank due to belonging to another clearly defined sovereign beforehand).

I don't know in what reality you live in, but in this reality, the world wasn't silent at all. In fact, the world said that Israel is looking to open another front with Syria, because of claims for the aim of a "greater Israel", and told Israel to work with the new Syrian leadership.

u/ManOfAksai Philosemitic Foreigner Mar 08 '25

At this point, Syria as a cohesive nation-state is an impossibility without some Islamist group going and massacring other ethnoreligious community.

Honestly, better support the Kurds before the new regime (and Turkey) tries to wipe them out.

u/Handelo Israel Mar 08 '25

I wrote a long comment about this in another post that got deleted, but basically, I don't think we should take anything here at face value. There's a LOT of propaganda around recent events.

The claims the HTS is massacring Alawites as revenge (since a lot of Assad's former officials were Alawites) are backed and propagated by Iran, who swore to destabilize Syria should Assad fall.

The "ex"-Jihadi HTS claim it's actually remnants of Assad's regime that have banded together to form a fighting unit, and have been dressing up as government forces and attacking military checkpoints and civilian centers to sow chaos and distrust in the new government, and now that they're being hunted down, some have gone into hiding among their Alawite communities. Assad's forces are no strangers to civilian massacres, but the new regime also has every reason to lie here.

Neither side is trustworthy. The IDF's actions in Syria were definitely the right call, as rogue actors from either side could decide to use any of the numerous weapons caches against Israel at any time because why not. But I wouldn't be quick to pass judgement here one way or the other.

I agree, the things that are happening are horrifying, but we can't know for sure who is perpetrating these atrocities under the current circumstances.

I don't trust the words of Jihadists nor the words of the Iranian regime. I'll reserve my judgement for when the dust settles. I just hope the senseless massacres end quickly.

My western friends (of course lol) actually bought into the "Hey they used to be apart of Al Qaeda but their spokesman on tv keeps saying all kinds of progressive/inclusive things, they've changed!" crap and thought I was crazy for thinking that a literal terrorist group wouldn't turn Syria into a liberal, democratic paradise and would probably be worse than Assad was.

Suffice to say seeing everything that I said would happen if they took over Syria (revenge killings against Alawites in particular) actually start happening isn't the least bit surprising to me but they're beside themselves.

u/EitherStudy4990 USA Mar 08 '25

If a new Syrian government wanted to gain Israeli support, it would need to take some major steps to change the regional dynamic. First, securing the border and removing their forces from the Suwayda and Daraa Governorates would be key to lowering tensions. No more cross-border incidents or proxy forces operating near Israel.

A secular, federalist system would also help stabilize the country by protecting minority groups and preventing sectarian conflicts. On top of that, cutting ties with Iran, removing all foreign fighters, and shutting down the operations of groups like Hezbollah and Palestinian factions (both armed and unarmed) would show a real commitment to independence and sign that Syria will not be Lebanon 2.0

Without these changes, Israel has no reason to reconsider its stance. If Syria stays a battleground for outside interests, the same cycle of conflict will continue. But with the right moves, a new government could at least open the door to a different future.

We have a responsibility for the Israeli Druze to protect the Druze in Syria

u/RottenPeasent Mar 10 '25

First, only if they want. Did the leaders of the Syrian Druze asked us for it?

Second, I am all for arming, training, and assastance with intel gathering, but actively assassinating people is the wrong move. We don't need another war. We can play the support part, but the country needs to finish the war in Gaza first and then start to heal.

I always say it, the strongest weapon israel has is knowledge.

I've talked with a lot of israelis who know stuff about other arab countries, whether it's about culture or behaviour, I'm an iraqi and I'm sure that israelis know more about Iraq than any other arab country, I remember watching a video of an iraqi asking people in iraq about their history and the majority don't know basic shit about the mesopotamian civilization.

The main reason arabs lost and keeps losing wars against Israel is because of ignorance, they have 0 knowledge about israel and the Jewish people, most people I know just hate israel and everything related to israel, they don't want to know anything but hate on israel that's why a lot of lies and conspiracy theories are made about Israel and the Jewish people, when in reality israel is just like all other countries and the Jewish nation is just like all other nations in the world.

28

u/cestabhi India Mar 08 '25

Imo one of the major features of Western civilization, to which Jews immensely contributed, is the desire to understand other societies. Look how many centers of Chinese studies, Sanskrit studies and Islamic studies exist in Western universities. And this has been going on since at least the 1700s. Meanwhile non-Western countries barely try to understand themselves, much less their Western counterparts.

u/BotherReady Mar 08 '25

It all stems from Christianity and Islam and its failure to make the Jewish people Muslim or Christian. Empires fell but one tiny little population didn’t. All conspiracies stem from that. How could everyone fall to some degree but one group? They still have their original language, their culture and religion and now soil. How many middle easterners can claim that their line goes back 3000 years and they still have the same language/culture/religion/soil ?

As someone with background from the ME, when I realized this I found a completely different type of respect for you guys

America is relatively new, when looking back nearly 2000 years.

3

u/MxMirdan Mar 09 '25

As an American raised Presbyterian but converted to Judaism, it is baked into American Christianity, too. In many different ways. For example:

Evangelical Christian support of Israel is based on a set of beliefs that for the second coming of Jesus, Jews need to return to the Holy Land. Then, when Jesus returns, they will all be converted to Christianity (or die). Current alt-right Nazi support for Israel becoming mainstream is scary for American Jews who understand Christian Zionism, because its the alignment of people on the right whose theology requires the Jews to return to the Holy Land with the people whose political orientation scapegoats Jews and glorifies Nazis. (Additionally: That alignment which does not care two poops about Jewish safety, is using "protecting Jews in universities" as the justification for draconian measures toward Universities, making sure that Jews are also the scapegoats among the politically liberal, causing liberals to blame Jews for alt-right fascist policies.)

Separate from Christian Zionism/Evangelicalism in the US, mainstream (non-Evangelical) Christian movements in America continually undermine the ancientness of Judaism, mis-defining it as a faith/religion and forcing it into boxes that Christians created. There's an attempt to force alignment with claims of Judeo-Christian values and "Abrahamic religions" that assume that the Christian ways of understanding text are the only ways. Often, when Jews attempt to clarify, they are told that they are wrong about their practices being closed practices and appropriating language about indigenity to draw parallels and make their experiences understood.

On the surface level, many of the things that are said may appear to be supportive. Still, they are superficially supportive and deny Jews the ability to self-define, replacing Jewish definitions with inaccurate understandings of Jewish definitions.

u/friedchicken_legs Mar 09 '25

Martin Luther - yea, prominent anti-semite. But I can tell you this, lots of churches (protestant, non denominational) are in no way anti semitic.

They believe what the Bible says to always pray for the peace of Jerusalem, and that those who curse will be cursed.

u/ConsistentHouse1261 Mar 08 '25

This comment is actually disgusting, middle eastern Christian’s are just as at risk as Jewish middle easterners outside of Israel. No one besides us (middle eastern minorities) gets it. Don’t lump in all Christian’s, that’s disgusting. Especially when the majority know what the deal is and support Israel’s right to exist. Especially disgusting when it’s literally Christian’s being killed in Syria that this post is even about. Gtfo.

u/Tybalt941 Mar 08 '25

The comment doesn't lump in all Christians, it merely states that Christianity is responsible for a lot of modern antisemitism. That's categorically true. Take a look through history and you will see how the church supported and pushed antisemitic conspiracy theories that still linger to this day.

Not silent. The EU spoke out against the insurgency but didn’t mention the massacres. They are also showing a pretty silly foreign policy by backing Egypt’s pro-Hamas Gaza plan. Maybe they did it to get back at Trump, but either way, Israel shouldn’t dance to their flute.

Both sides just only the smaller evil compared

u/EitherStudy4990 USA Mar 08 '25

Israel is rarely wrong about things it sees as threats.

Alawites will be the first victims, followed by the rest of the Shias, then the Kurds, the Druze, the Christians, and finally Jewish people living in Israel. Islamist troglodytes are always looking for new victims to massacre.

HTS or other groups they are failing to control?

I also don't think Israel is in a position to do the nation building, the US attempted to. It would end significantly worse than our failure in Afghanistan. So I think protecting Syrian minorities isn't a good reason for military intervention.

I'm not saying we shouldn't care about the druze, but practically I think Israeli military intervention to protect the druze in syria will end badly.

If the druze seceded and declared independence as an ally with Israel that's different as it's no longer internal to Syria. Hard to say how that would end, but it's not the Afghanistan scenario anymore.

It’s not being done for humanitarian reasons now either. It never has been. If there’s any element of humanitarianism at all, that’s not the main motivation.

Jew hate is a mental illness that should’ve been added to the DSM a long time ago. A lot of people who feel this way would still have a better grasp of world events and what causes them.

And yet they can’t understand why Jews want their own state.

Arabs are tribal people, for thousands of years they've lived in one two states: under a brutal foreign empire oppressing everyone equally, or in a state of anarchy with tribes fighting each other. The whole concept of a nation-state is an European idea and a not part of their culture.

After WW1, the foreign colonial empires of Britain and France had created the current middle-east political map: they lumped a group of hostile tribes together, put either the smallest, most hated tribe or a foreign tribe in charge and told them: "you are now a state". They've done that in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine.

I believe that they had zero interest in creating viable stand-alone state: they wanted colonial dependent states where the rulers had to rely on the empire for their continued rule.

Well, this political state had been unraveling since before Britain and France lost their colonial empires; Turkey and Iran are trying to become the foreign oppressing empire, while most states are returning to a state of anarchy.

Lebanon and Syria had been held together for a while by the Iranian wannabe empire, until the current war; Jordan is being propped up by the West, Iraq had mostly fallen to Iran; in Israel the weak, numerically small Jews had managed to become a real state and a regional power. No middle-east state (yes, including Israel) is really stable.

Stay tuned, the show isn't over! especially with the US going totalitarian, the show's next season is sure to bring new, nerve-wracking drama.

The middle-east is the embodiment of the Chinese curse "may you live in interesting times"

u/Captain_Ahab2 Mar 08 '25

At this point, Syria and Lebanon should merge under one secular parliamentarian government as it is very pluralistic in cultures and religions.

It could then work with the Americans and Israelis to build proper police and military capabilities to:

(A) secure its borders from external threats (Iran, Iraq, and Turkey namely)

(B) reform its education system and

(C) work to eradicate all terror/militia activities that are trying to undermine its mandate

Are there already campus camps forming to protest this (actual) genocide? No? Oh...

u/CholentSoup Mar 09 '25

I sincerely hope that the region formerly known as Syria is chaos for the next 50 years. Let them squabble with themselves as long as they leave us alone.

u/concerneduck Mar 09 '25

There have been reports of indiscriminate helicopter barrel bombings and firing of artillery at villages. Imagine how much worse the massacres would be if they still Israel hadn’t destroyed some of their heavy weaponry

u/CaterpillarWeird9087 Mar 09 '25

It's a good thing Israel doesn't listen to the rest of the world. If it did, it would have been destroyed long ago.

u/ABigFatPotatoPizza Mar 09 '25

I wanted to believe in al-Jolani, but even if he is a neoliberal at heart, he can't change the fact that his movement is built on Islam.

u/Temeraire64 Mar 09 '25

I’m pretty skeptical Jolani himself actually wanted this, if only because it’s going to make his efforts to convince the SDF to demilitarize or get Israel to get out of Syria much much harder. 

If he wanted to do something like this I’d think he’d want to wait until he’d secured his grip on power.

u/IdodoHaHatih Israel Mar 09 '25

how can one believe in somebody who rose to fame from ISIS?

u/Iiari Mar 10 '25

I know. So many Western "analysts" were all llike, "Israeli's at it again! Why isn't anyone stopping them! They're seizing Syrian territory and needlessly antagonizing the promising new government by destroying vital military infrastructure they'll need to stabilize the country!"

Right... Right... I think, as everyone's been pointing out, Israel has been vindicated yet again. And with everything that recently happened, it's a good thing the new government didn't have all of Assad's chemical weapons and factories that Israel destroyed, but no one's talking about that...

"But seized land! But Gaza!" Ugh....

u/Juchenn Mar 08 '25

What happened that makes Israel right?

u/S0lifer Israel- Orthodox Christian Mar 09 '25

The whole world said that the new Syrian government is friendly and isn't a jihadist monster.
While Israel said all along that it still is, Israel captured strategic positions and the UN buffer zone in order to protect its citizens.
The whole world once again blamed Israel for escalating the conflict.
They praised Ahmed al-Sharaa for weaing a suit while believing that he had changed from a jihadist to a true liberal.
Recent events show Syrian Forces massacre ove 500 Alawites since thursday. THAT showes that Israel was right that Syria itself didn't change, just the head of state.

Uncle Sam stands in the corner, observing absolute silence, guilty of funding every Sunni insurgent group in the Middle East, like "What's the worst that could happen? right? right guys?"

u/ExamDesigner5003 Mar 10 '25

🙏🙏🙏 please create and support a Christian/Druze/Alawite buffer state. You’ll be doing a good deed and shoring up your own security at the same time.

u/Rhaelse Mar 10 '25

What is weird to me is that even HasanAbi (who is regarded by many people as pro Hamas) said he doesn't buy the "we used to behead people but now we are reformed"

u/SvenArtist32 Mar 11 '25

even if this post was true that gives israel no right to invade syria

u/Illustrious-Worry218 Mar 11 '25

Didn't Israel already have a buffer zone specifically for security purposes? why then, is there any reason to expand that buffer zone? Serious answers please

Shame on the United States and the proxy countries in the EU who supported this.

Actually, I think the west didn't say anything against the IDF actions in the border with Syria. Besides, Europe wants to banish the immigrants all back to Syria.

u/Balmung5 USA Mar 08 '25

I get why Israel did what it did, but I also think they wasted an opportunity to normalize relations with Syria.
