As Assad Kills
His Own, Israel Moves Freely Across the Sky (All4Syria, Syria)
"For everything
Israel has done, it was and remains the number one enemy of the Syrian people. But
by exercising the military option, Israel has been able to do what the entire
world and the Arabs with them have been unable to do. ... Even after raids that
targeted the heart of the Syrian capital and elite troops, the Assad regime continues
to assert its right to retaliate at the proper time and place. Meanwhile, the regime
is always quick to retaliate against its own people with every type of heavy
weapon for the act of holding peaceful demonstrations demanding freedom and
dignity!!"
After the usual condemnation, denunciation disapproval, let's
try something new.
Let us ask what the goals were of Israel's raids on Damascus
in the early hours of Sunday morning. It seems Israel wanted to direct several messages
to the regime and its allies.
The first message is for Russia, which hinders military
action at the U.N. Security Council. The message is that Israel can carry out raids and strike
militarily any time it likes - and not be held back by any supposed international
accountability. The argument for this attack is Israeli security - preventing
weapons from reaching Lebanese Hezbullah. Therefore, it may be that Israel will
carry out such raids over and over again.
The second message, blessed by the United States and with
indirect backing from the international community, is aimed at the Syrian
regime and its allies: The military option is and remains on the table and can
be acted on anytime and anywhere - including in the heart of Damascus and across the entire
width and breadth of Syria. The aim here may be to raise the pressure on Damascus
to accept negotiations on a transfer of power by letting it be known
that forces is very close at hand.
The third message is likely directed at the Syrian political system
after the fall of Assad, which is: "We are capable of intervening
militarily any time we like, and we demand the necessary security guarantees
from the political arrangement after Assad - who kept absolute quite on the
Golan front for more than four decades."

We can accept or reject these messages, in part or in sum!!
But for everything Israel has done, it was and remains the
number one enemy of the Syrian people. But by exercising the military option, Israel
has been able to do what the entire world and the Arabs with them have been
unable to do. Are the supporters and allies of this regime still convinced by
the big lie of how the regime opposed and resists Israel?
This is a regime that continues to assert the right to respond
to four decades of Israeli aggression against Syrian soil, which have happened
again and again during the eras of Assad the father and Assad the son!
And last but not least, even after raids that targeted the
heart of the Syrian capital and centers of elite troops, causing the deaths of
hundreds of soldiers in minutes, the Assad regime continues to assert its right
to retaliate at the proper time and place. Meanwhile, the regime is always
quick to retaliate against its own people with every type of heavy weapon for
the act of holding peaceful demonstrations demanding freedom and dignity!!
