LITERALLY A BIRD posted:but unironically Alternatively they could follow a proven Islam centered model that wouldn't require somehow converting 100 million Muslims. Last time the Muslim Brotherhood was in power Morsi made some steps towards a better relationship with Iran, so maybe off the back of Tehran's support for MB affiliate Hamas and some of Islah in Yemen reportedly going over to the Ansar Allah if the MB makes it back into power we could see them join the Axis of Resistance.

Like Plaut, Alex is objective only as long as his angels (the TPLF) are not involved. His book about the Ethiopian civil war (Evil Days) was really good except when he glossed over both the Anuak and Ogaden genocide because the EPDRF committed them. Probably the 3rd best book on the Ethiopian civil war I’ve read.

Everybody wants to overlook that because Hamas is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood they sided with the rebels in Syria, and those sympathies are still present. It is absolutely not worth caring about.

Hamas fought against Assad in the Syrian civil war, and Iran actually attempted to create a knock-off Hezbollah in Gaza to replace them. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabireen_Movement The Armed Group (Qassim Brigades) still dislikes Iran but the political group is somewhat pro-Iranian, that’s why the Egyptian GIS replaced the IGRC as their main source of arms since 2015 or so.

i hate to spill the news but the vast majority of arabs consider assad to be morally equivalent to israel and view him as the most pustulent and murderous tumor of arab fascism. and view arab governments normalization and failure to remove him with a similar level of scorn. so please dont be surpised when people hate him on social media and support his opposition. because people view the struggle against israel and assad as part of a wider freedom and humanity struggle. no one is going to forgive and forget assad for what he did because he provided a template for brutality and mass murder that served as a lesson arab fascists can employ against internal dissent. im not debating or saying morally one thing or another im just pointing out a reality.

So if I’m picking up what everyone is putting down, Assad is equivalent to SISI, and his sympathizers are equivalent to the dude in this forums step mom lol So are a majority of Arabs pro the Syrian revolutionists…even though they’re allegedly Israeli/ Al Qaeda backed? As the previous poster said, there isn’t a clear indication of good and bad here. But is it safe to say both Assadists AND Anti Assadists stand with Palestine?

He's more comparable to Saddam Hussein circa 2003. Where it gets complicated is the fact of the US, Israel and the Gulf Monarchies backing the opposition. Nobody wants the west to get another comprador in the Arab world. Sancho Banana has issued a correction as of 11:22 on Mar 23, 2024 |

I won’t post the link even though there’s no gore and it’s blacked out. “ Today, Israeli helicopters dropped a box filled with anti-Hamas propaganda newspapers over the Al-Mawasi area, home to hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans. The heavy box struck 22-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Saleem, instantly killing him.”

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news...b0000#964407801 Southern Command Head, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, said that the operation in Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital will end when "the last of the terrorists is captured - alive or dead." According to the Israeli army, during a situation report that Finkelman held on Friday at the Gazan hospital with Intelligence chief Aharon Haliva, Division 162 commander and Naval commando commander, he said that "the activity here is significant. A brave operation that harmed hundreds of terrorists, arrested hundreds of terrorists and resulted in obtaining operational and intelligential assets."

Families of 81 hostages send letter to Biden citing 'lack of commitment from Netanyahu to the hostage release cause' The hostages' families announced that families of 81 hostages held in Gaza sent a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden this week, appealing to the President to "convince all parties, including the Israeli Prime Minister, to agree to the deal that you assess is reasonable." "As Israel's closest ally, we seek your assistance in steering the Israeli Prime Minister towards the right course of action. Above all, the Israeli public yearns for the safe return of the hostages. We are reaching out to you because we are increasingly frustrated and worried about the lack of ongoing communication and commitment from the Israeli Prime Minister and the War Cabinet to the hostage release cause," they wrote. When will these rubes realise that their friends and relatives were literal human shields for the Israel project? That's why those Kibbutz were all there so close to Gaza.

There's recurring confusion in the thread about this, but as some posters have already said, the Arab bourgeois regimes have hated Palestinians for 50+ years and actively collaborated in Zionist oppression. This article gives a brief overview: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/03/17/lqki-m17.htmlquote:As Crocker explained, Jordan’s King Hussein was able to defeat the PLO in what became known as “Black September”, “not just because of the prowess of the Jordanian military but also because Syria refused to provide air cover to the Syrian tanks supporting the Palestinians as promised” when they came under Jordanian attack, forcing the brigade to withdraw. This left the Palestinians isolated, and thousands were massacred by Hussein’s forces in pogroms. “That Syrian air force,” writes Crocker, “was under command of a general named Hafez al-Assad [later ruler of Syria], whose hatred and fear of all things Palestinian was intense.”
