Summary
The Biden administration announced it will support a new Syrian government that renounces terrorism, protects women’s and minority rights, and dismantles chemical weapons.
This follows the ouster of Bashar al-Assad by the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which the U.S. designated as a terrorist organization in 2018.
While the U.S. may reassess HTS’s status, ongoing concerns about ISIS resurgence and regional instability persist.
Meanwhile, Israel has seized the Golan Heights buffer zone amid condemnation, and Biden is coordinating with allies, including Israel, on the evolving situation in Syria and Gaza.
How come Syria has to protect women, but US federal and state governments don’t?
Why does Syria need to renounce terrorism, but the US federal and state governments don’t?
The irony in this is almost too much. How can we say this while also supplying the arms to Israel so they can continue to kill women and children while also terrorizing places they have no business being. It’s all a fuckin joke.
You’re 100% correct. I mean… Mideast policy hypocrisy like this has been the norm all the decades I’ve been alive.
I give it two months before Trump orders the CIA to assassinate al-Bashir, probably at request of Israel.
I really, really hope to be wrong, but unfortunately Syria is very weak right now and Israel has already been striking the leftover military institutions to keep them weak. I just can’t imagine foreign capitalists being able to stop themselves from further exploitation.
Has anyone told Biden what Israel has been doing in Gaza?
Those aren’t crazy demands
Yeah, but they’re Biden’s…
And he’s also defending Israel seizing Syrian land.
That’s not even getting into who know what trump will do in a month
Is Saudi Arabia an example of protecting women and promote non extreme version of Islam?
It is for religious extremists
It is from a genocidal terrorist group (USA).
No one said they were.
They will support anything as long as it favors Israel.
He’s also defending the buffer zone’s buffer zone. I thought they’d rather focus on democracy so the rest can be handled by the people,
USA is going to protect people who renounce USA? Great.
Meanwhile, in the lineup for next year’s white house occupancy, …
Ah yes, America, so concerned about rights and freedom.
