ISIS attack on the local people of #Syria

🔸 The attack of #ISIS terrorists on the people who were collecting truffle mushrooms in Deir Ezzor province of Syria has resulted in 36 dead, 35 wounded and 11 missing.

🔸 With the beginning of the truffle mushroom collection season, which lasts from March to May, ISIS, who have lost most of their sources of income, are looking to loot this product.

Syria is being attacked from 4 fronts, #US, #Israel, ISIS and Al-Qaeda.

🔸حملۀ تروریست‌های داعش به مردمی که درحال جمع‌آوری قارچ ترافل (دنبلان کوهی) در استان دیرالزور سوریه بودند، تاکنون ۳۶ کشته، ۳۵ زخمی و ۱۱ مفقودی به دنبال داشته است.

A few quotes:

(...) Right now, of course, the world is witnessing yet another U.S. bombing campaign, the latest in a series that seems all too predictable (and futile), meant to teach the restless rebels of Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and possibly even Iran a lesson when it comes to messing with the United States of America. (...)

Israel is systematically destroying Gaza, rendering it essentially uninhabitable for those Palestinians who survive the ongoing rampage. In fact, early in its war of annihilation, Israeli leaders cited the Allied destruction of the German city of Dresden in 1945 in support of their own atrocious air and ground campaign against the Palestinians.

Looking at this dispassionately as a military historian, the Dresden reference makes a certain twisted sense. In World War II, the Americans and their British allies in their “combined bomber offensive” destroyed German cities indiscriminately, seeing all Germans as essentially Nazis, complicit in the crimes of their government, and so legitimate targets. Something similar is true of the right-wing Israeli government today. It sees all Palestinians as essentially members of Hamas and thus complicit in last year’s brutal October 7th attacks on Israel, making them legitimate targets of war, Israeli- (and American-) style. Just like the United States, Israel claims to be “defending democracy” whatever it does. Little wonder, then, that Washington has been so willing to send bombs and bullets to its protégé as it seeks “peace” through massive firepower and genocidal destruction. (...)

Putting [the issue of genocide] aside, it’s undeniable that Israel has been using indiscriminate bombing attacks and a devastating invasion in a near-total war against Palestinians living on that 25-mile-long strip of land, an approach that calls to mind the harrowing catchphrase “Exterminate all the brutes!” from Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness. (...)

Try to imagine such events from the perspective of a historian writing in the year 2200. Might that future scribe not refer to repeated U.S. invasions of, incursions into, and bombing campaigns across the Middle East as a bloody crusade, launched under the (false) banner of democracy with righteous vengeance, if not godly purpose, in mind? Might that historian not suggest that such a “crusade” was ultimately more about power and profit, domination and control than (as advertised) “freedom”? And might that historian not be impressed (if not depressed) by the remarkable way the U.S. brought seemingly unending chaos and death to the region over such a broad span of time?

Consider these facts. More than 22 years after the 9/11 attacks, the U.S. still has at least 30,000 troops scattered across the Middle East. At least one Navy carrier strike group, and often two, dominate the regional waters, while striking numbers of military bases (“Little Americas”) are still sprinkled across countries ranging from Kuwait to Bahrain, from Qatar to the United Arab Emirates and beyond. So many years later, about 900 U.S. troops still illegally occupy part of Syria (not coincidentally, where that country produces most of its oil) and 2,500 more remain in Iraq, even though the government there would like them to depart.

The Syrian Foreign Minister said Sunday that his country is fully ready to engage in other wars with the Zionist regime, adding that, "It is #Syria that decides when, where and how these wars will take place.

🔶️ Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Mekdad, who hosted Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his accompanying delegation in #Damascus, held a joint press conference with Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.

🔶️ The Syrian Foreign Minister offered congratulations to the Iranian delegation over the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.

🔶️ "The end of the occupation of the Zionist regime in the occupied Arab Golan territory is at the top of our priorities and is at the top of the list of our sacred missions. The Syrian nation is also trying to end this occupation," he continued.

🔶️ "Syria is ready to pay the price for all these liberation operations. America's crimes against Syrian citizens will end, as well as America's illegitimate support to Israel in the occupation of the Syrian territory," the Syrian foreign minister concluded.

🔶️ Al-Mekdad added that, "The Iranian delegation had detailed talks with Bashar al-Assad, which discussed various issues in the region, especially the heroic resistance of the Palestinian nation."

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.

This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.

Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

  1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
  2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
  3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
  4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
  5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
  6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
  7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.

It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.

The world is waging war on its children, in an obscene mockery of international law

The Guardian

From Gaza to Ukraine, from Sudan to Myanmar, youngsters are being raped, abducted, maimed, killed and even recruited as soldiers.

(Text continues underneath the photo.)

Callous disregard for civilian lives and safety is a disturbing feature of modern armed conflict. From Ukraine and Gaza to Sudan and Myanmar, respect for the “laws of war” is being eroded or is non-existent. Non-combatants are deliberately targeted. Most shocking, and unforgivable, is the wanton harm – the UN term is “grave violations” – done to children.

In his latest report on children and conflict, UN secretary general António Guterres warned that children “continued to be disproportionately affected” by war-related violence and abuses. By this, he meant killing and maiming, rape, sexual violence, abductions, school attacks and recruitment of child soldiers. All were on the rise, he said. (...)

How shaming all this is. How truly shocking. That adults and nations choose to fight each other is normal, though regrettable. But a world war on children? How did it come to this?

BREAKING: According to several Senior U.S. Defense Officials, preparations are now underway for a complete or partial withdrawal of U.S. and coalition forces from #Syria and #Iraq

The officials explained that the decision comes after a multitude of factors, including the increasing pressure and escalatory attacks by the militias in the region.

The withdrawal could take up to 90 days, depending on its size, scope and urgency.

An American #drone attacked the vehicle carrying 2 high ranking members of Iraqi Lataeb Al-Hezbollah with one or 2 #hellfire missiles.

ÀPentagon have not yet reported about it, but the Iraqi sources on the ground have shared pictures and videos of the burning vehicle and angry demonstrations by the Iraqis condemning the attacks.

This is a clear violation of #US government agreement with the Iraqi government about the scope of their operations in Iraq and will definitely escalate the hostilities from the Iraqi public and government against the American troops and mercenaries in #Iraq and #Syria.

Not from the Onion: Pentagon: The groups allied with the Islamic Republic of Iran have a specific goal, which is to force the American forces to leave the region.

We know that Iran provides arms, financial and intelligence support to Islamic movements in the region and orders them to attack.

These MFers think they actually have a right to invade any country in the world and then calling locals who resist their illegal occupation for terrorists.

I despise IRI and their religious followers, but I hate US and UK even more because those pigs are the reason the whole region is in such sad and horrible shape.

In Biden’s case today, these are the actions of a desperado, a war-loving bumbling puppet who is over or under or out of his head as he feigns outrage at the killing of three soldiers who were placed in a spot where their lives were at risk because they were cogs in an imperial war machine.

Pawns in the game. A very dangerous game in which the Zionists leaders of Israel are as desperate as Biden and whose secret operatives are no doubt plotting a desperate scheme to try to expand the war. Who is jerking whose chain may be questionable, but the dogs of war are barking.
