Perspectives of the Invasion (aka Liberation) of Syria

stock here: they must have been planning this for some time, and wanted to pull it off whilst Puppet Idiot Brandon was in the cat bird seat. How can we ever free ourselves from the Zionists? AI Created a map of the area, its partly educational, partly amusing

A reader dropped this comment, which AI helped to unpack.

———————————

Obviously it’s just regular ( conventional) arms and ( now) unmanned air defense that was ( is) targeted.

Kurdish people as usual get the short end of the stick. 🙁

Israel gets back what it won in 1967, but lost in 1973.

Syrians get a not so Liberal .gov…we will see if there will be (selections) elections, or not.

This is also a warning to Jordan that lives and breathes with life support from the Minority ( Hashemite) not to antagonize it’s people and take extra precautions.

As a Lewi awaiting his land north of Jerusalem…and that WON’T happen under the Zionists…I await further developments.

The comment touches on several complex and interconnected issues related to Middle Eastern geopolitics, specifically regarding Syria, Israel, Jordan, and broader regional dynamics. Here’s a breakdown:

1. “Obviously it’s just regular (conventional) arms and (now) unmanned air defense that was (is) targeted.” This refers to the ongoing military operations in the region, likely focusing on the destruction or targeting of conventional military assets such as arms depots and air defense systems.
   “Unmanned air defense” could imply the use of drones or autonomous systems to target enemy infrastructure.
2. “Kurdish people as usual get the short end of the stick.” The Kurdish people, an ethnic group spread across Syria, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran, have long sought autonomy or independence but have often been marginalized.
   In Syria, Kurds played a significant role in fighting ISIS, but they face ongoing challenges from various state actors, including Turkey, Syria, and others, who resist Kurdish self-determination.
3. “Israel gets back what it won in 1967, but lost in 1973.” This refers to territorial changes involving Israel’s control of land during and after key conflicts:
   In 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria.
   In 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, Israel retained the Golan Heights despite a Syrian attempt to retake it.
   The implication might be that Israel is reaffirming its claim or strengthening its control over such territories, possibly with international recognition or indirect consequences from the Syrian conflict.
4. “Syrians get a not so Liberal .gov…we will see if there will be (selections) elections, or not.” This suggests skepticism about the political future of Syria. The term “(selections)” implies a belief that any future electoral process would be more performative or manipulated rather than a genuine democratic election.
   A “not so Liberal .gov” likely refers to the expectation that post-conflict governance in Syria will continue to be authoritarian, reflecting the historical dominance of strongman politics in the region.
5. “This is also a warning to Jordan that lives and breathes with life support from the Minority (Hashemite) not to antagonize its people and take extra precautions.” Jordan’s ruling Hashemite monarchy represents a minority in the country, and its stability depends on balancing relations with its majority population, including Palestinians and tribal Jordanians.
   The warning suggests that regional instability could spill over into Jordan if the monarchy fails to address internal grievances or if it faces external pressures.
6. “As a Lewi awaiting his land north of Jerusalem…and that WON’T happen under the Zionists…I await further developments.” The term “Lewi” (or “Levi”) likely refers to someone of the Jewish priestly tribe of Levi, a lineage with historical and religious significance in Judaism.
   The speaker appears to express discontent with the Zionist movement, which established and governs the modern state of Israel. They seem to believe that Zionist policies are an obstacle to fulfilling religious or historical claims to land “north of Jerusalem.”
   This sentiment might reflect a distinction between religious Jews and secular Zionists, a division that exists in some Jewish communities.

Contextual Themes:

Kurds and Regional Power Struggles: The marginalization of the Kurds highlights broader power dynamics in the Middle East, where their autonomy is often sacrificed for larger geopolitical goals.
Territorial Disputes: The reference to Israel and its territorial control emphasizes the ongoing disputes stemming from wars and international negotiations.

Authoritarianism vs. Democracy: The skepticism about governance in Syria reflects a common theme in post-conflict nations where democratic aspirations often clash with entrenched authoritarian systems.

Jordan's Vulnerability: As a small, resource-scarce monarchy in a volatile region, Jordan must navigate complex internal and external pressures to maintain stability.

Religious vs. Secular Zionism: The comment about being a "Lewi" awaiting land reflects a nuanced critique of Zionism from a perspective that may prioritize religious or historical interpretations over modern political ideologies.

Each of these points ties into the broader and deeply intricate history and politics of the Middle East.
