The confrontation between the Syrian Army and Hezbollah on Lebanese soil marks a major shift in regional dynamics.

    Reports suggest that these prisoners (Syrian Army personnel being held by Hezbollah) were being treated in violation of international detention standards.

    I… I’m shocked. Syria attacking Hezbollah was not on my Bingo card.

    The idea of Syria attacking Hezbollah hasn’t been a thought, ever. Assad and Hezbollah were allies. So while it does make sense now that Assad is out, it’s just unprecedented.

      Russia ----> Iran ----> Alawites -----> Hezbollah (they all worked to suppress the Syrian peoples freedom and are now persona non grata in Syria, to be hunted down, like the terrorists they are). Lebanese still love them though, you know, because Jews exist.

        People still support Hezbollah because they’re a legitimate political movement resisting invasion and genocide. They just want the foreign invaders out. Pretty simple.

        I can’t imagine being enough of a racist zio cultist to believe otherwise.

        At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if Syria reached out to Israel and said the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so let’s work together.

          Imagine believing that this hasn’t already happened. There’s so much evidence for collaboration. They already handed over the Golan Heights. Etc.

            Well yeah nobody in the region wants these imperial cultist invaders and their genocide. It’s a completely reasonable strategy to resist together.

              That’s been Iran’s policy in the Middle East since Iran became a nation. And if you really think it has anything to do with Israel or that Shi’a Iran gives two shits about Sunni Palestinians, you’re deluded.

          Sure … and it’s being discussed on both sides, the only problem being the, Islamofascist tendency to want to kill all the Jews, other than that they would have been fast friends by now, but Israel is saying never say never, so who knows what this strange new Assad/Putin/Iran-less Syria will bring

            You should know you do not appear informed if you use clownish terms like Islamofascism which were created by racists to debase Islamic nations and peoples.
