Israel, with the support of the West, has unleashed a genocide in Palestine – Gaza, a bloodbath in Lebanon, and has opened the Syrian front again.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will go down in history as the most corrupt leader of the most extreme radical settler regime ever seen in the “promised land” called Israel, has negotiated a supposed ceasefire with Hezbollah, which will last for 60 days.
Shortly after the ceasefire in Lebanon came into effect, and after Israeli Netanyahu warned Syrian President Bashar al-Assad that he was “playing with fire”, a new front was opened from Idlib to Aleppo.
The terrorist group called Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) launched an attack on Aleppo from their last enclave in Idlib.
HTS and other factions called the al-Fatah al-Mubin group, just another small terrorist organization affiliated with HTS, advanced in the western countryside of Aleppo and took control of strategic points in the villages of Qubtan al-Jabal and Sheikh Aqil.
According to sources and Syrian media, around 50 people were killed, including terrorists, Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers and an SAA soldier who was taken back to Idlib as booty.
Who is HTS? If you believe Western sources, they are a Sunni Islamist political and armed organization involved in the Syrian civil war. It was formed on January 28, 2017, as a merger between Jaysh al-Ahrar, Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, Ansar al-Din Front, Jaysh al-Sunna, Liwa al-Haq and Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement.
Syrian and Iraqi people call the organization Daesh, which means “the one who crushes”. The West sometimes gave it another name, ISIS or Islamic State.
Also, the so-called Syrian civil war is a proxy war of the West to get the oil and gas out of Syria (and Iraq). This is well known among Syrians, who see their oil being stolen by the U.S., initially by their proxies Daesh, but now more directly with the help of the U.S. military.
The main goal of the U.S. is to replace Russian allies with those of the U.S., usurping Assad’s power with radical jihadists, aligned in the past mainly with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, so that the U.S. could build a pipeline through Syria to Europe.
The evidence is clear that U.S. President Barack Obama, against advice and warnings from his top military officers, pursued a policy to protect the fundamentalist Sunni organization Al Qaeda in Syria.
Proof that the U.S. (and its Western client states) under the Obama administration sponsored terrorists in Syria and Iraq is in the form of the last mentioned group, the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement.
Obama had to admit before the entire Western press that Nour al-Din al-Zenki, who beheaded an eleven-year-old Palestinian boy in cold blood in front of rolling cameras, was indeed a terrorist group.
But so were all the others who the U.S. kept on sponsoring with weapons and money (as did Europe and the entire West). Later, they all merged with Daesh (ISIS).
In 2016, during the liberation of Aleppo by the Syrian Arab Army, fighters from other terrorist groups (all fighting under the banner of Daesh but fighting among themselves) captured and killed members of the Zenki movement. Many of those who survived were later granted asylum in Europe (particularly Germany) along with other terrorists.
But to this day, Europe is in denial and calls them rebels, while the evidence of gang violence happening in the cities of Europe is clear. Some say because of President Assad’s humane offer, they chose to be exiled to the enclave of Idlib, where a concentration of jihadists (after 2016) is now located.
The biggest Daesh group there has become HTS, and almost all groups are affiliated with them. Also, there are remaining Uyghurs, many of whom are in Idlib. This group is extremely violent, and they know they can’t go back to China.
According to one report, Uyghur jihadist fighters in Syria have served as a force multiplier for insurgents there. Uyghur fighters gained ground in Idlib, the only Syrian province that still has a large local and foreign jihadist presence.
Uyghur jihadists in Syria pose an overlooked yet significant regional and international security problem. They are likely to become a greater threat if fighting in Idlib winds down and the province is not decisively captured by a strong state or non-state actor hostile to jihadist groups.”
The masks came off during the 2023 earthquake, which hit parts of Turkey and Syria. The West only provided aid to Idlib province and not to the citizens living in the officially governed part of Syria.
According to the United Nations Development Program, as described in a post-disaster document, the intention was to coordinate the HRP document and the ongoing response to the earthquake in the coming months in consultation with the Syrian government.
It was a meaningless document that meant that the Western countries only supplied Idlib, while Russia and its allies aided the Syrian government.
The remaining Daesh fighters who settled in Idlib in 2016 after the fall of Aleppo with their families lived a relatively sheltered life, still protected by their masters in the U.S. and the West and also by Islamist factions in Turkey.
The latter was under the auspices of the late Fethullah Gülen, who in 2016 attempted a coup (from the U.S.) in Turkey. Gülen said he was strongly against Turkish involvement in Syria (meaning the Kurds).
Also, he criticized the Turkish government’s desire to topple the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, which, of course, was a lie. He was a supporter (and his group) of the radical Islam preached by Daesh and no fan of Assad.
What we see happening now, and I am referring to October 7, 2023, the Hamas attack on Israel, is nothing but the Axis of Resistance’s war on Israel and the West, which, especially the U.S. (and EU), unconditionally supports Israel.
The war and resistance have been activated since 2017 (in Tehran), and we see the results. The Middle East has suffered too long under the yoke of the West, first Europe, who colonized it, and after the Second World War, America took over and carried out all kinds of proxy wars and coups.
Now, the West, after the defeat in Syria, has opened a second front (the first is Ukraine) or rather reopened it. Israel, with the support of the West, has unleashed a genocide in Palestine – Gaza, a bloodbath in Lebanon, and has opened the Syrian front again.
A large group of proxies (Daesh) who were in Idlib have chosen to fight in Ukraine, against Russia. It is the most notorious Caucasian fighters like the Jihadist Abu Omar al-Shishani and his group who are fighting in the Donbass.
The Al Hawl prison camp in northern Syria, where thousands of jihadists (many foreigners too) live, which is run by Kurds (actually U.S.) who find it difficult to guard them, has become a new terrorist hotbed and a time bomb.
It is located in northern Syria, far from Idlib, but could hypothetically become the northern front. Most of the brutal jihadists are locked up here, just like they were in Camp Bucca (run by the U.S.) in Iraq.
This could happen again with Camp al Hawl. Over the past few days, we witnessed what may be a not-so-important incident for those who do not know much about the situation. But it is significant.
The HTS started an invasion (on a small scale) from Idlib on Aleppo, and they say they have conquered a few small villages. In a released video, we see them driving in Toyotas with the black flag of Daesh, a déjà vu, and it can also be seen that there are Uyghur militants among them.
For them, Aleppo is an important city because of the town of Dabiq, 44 km north of Aleppo, where, as legend has it, a final battle will take place.
The Battle of Marj Dābiq was a decisive military clash in Middle Eastern history, fought on 24 August 1516. It was part of the Ottoman–Mamluk War (1516–17) between the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate, which ended in an Ottoman victory.
The U.S. has indicated that it does not want to withdraw from Syria and has been trying for some time to form a new alliance with the Sunni tribes, parallel to the SDF, to please the Turks on the one hand and the SDF on the other.
The U.S. and its colonies always use certain groups to play them off against each other. In Syria and Iraq, it is the Kurds against ISIS, and in Ukraine, the Azov battalion.
So the U.S. and its colonies support Neo-Nazis and fanatical headhunters who call themselves part of Islam (jihadists), and two radical groups in Syria and Iraq to fight a left-wing radical group like the PKK.
In Ukraine, the U.S. tried it with Ukrainian and foreign Neo-Nazis. That is the tactic of the West for world hegemony. To that end, civilian casualties are, in the words of Madeleine Albright, acceptable collateral damage.
