Peloni: This matter with the Druze can only be settled by the US and as I have stated for several months ago, Syria will be a product of Trump’s Turkey policy. Up to now, Trump has given Turkey dominance in Syria via its HTS proxy, but he has proven to be either inept or duplicitous. The truth of which of these is more accurate is a moot point. What is relative is that Trump’s support of Turkey in Syria has thus far failed. What remains to be seen is if Trump will double down on pushing a square peg into a round whole, or if something more pragmatic, and more moderate, is chosen to prevail in Syria.

Again, just a few moments ago, Islamist jihadists in Syria returned and burned the houses of the Druze in Suwayda. Terrorists get excuses. Victims get warnings. The Druze, you call them a minority? No. They are a majority of courage in a sea of betrayal. When al-Qaeda slits a Druze child’s throat, the world lights no candles. When Islamist gangs drag women from Suwayda’s hills, no one cries at the UN. But let the Druze raise a hand, not in power, just in defense, and suddenly the sky falls. Foreign aid, destabilization.
For *** sake Islamist jihadists, Muslim Brotherhood terrorists came for the Druze with black flags and bloody knives, expecting fear, surrender, silence. But Suwayda did not kneel. It rose. With bare hands and burning hearts, it faced the beasts and said what the world forgot how to say: no. The Druze are not victims. They are the last wall between civilization and the abyss. They are the mountain that remembers truth when all else forgets. They are the echo of dignity in a region choking on lies. Europe calls it peace when Hamas, the ISIS of Gaza, waves its flag in Brussels and Berlin streets, but calls it provocation when the Druze dare to live. They open their borders to radicals but shut their mouths when Druze blood paints the soil. This isn’t neutrality, it is betrayal in a thousand languages. But the Druze don’t ask for pity. They are not built of shame. Yes, the Islamists brought fire, but the Druze answered with dignity. They didn’t beg, they stood. They didn’t run, they buried their dead, wiped their tears, and reloaded.
Suwayda is not a battlefield, it is a frontline of light. The Druze light candles with their blood and remind us what it means to be human.
And yes btw, remember the Palestine activists in London and Paris have made a choice: they side with the gun, not the grave. They bless the hand that strikes, not the one that shields. Remember, the Druze asked for protection, not power. They asked to live, not rule. No, the #Druze didn’t ask for medals. They asked not to be buried in mass graves. But even that, in this sick world, is too much to ask.

Israeli Druze commentator says Trump is restraining Israel. Al Juliani has fled the country and his brother-in-law has issued this fatwa. Jihadist terrorists are flooding in from neighboring countries now because they want to sexually enslave Druze women and girls. While the world is once again silent. The Druze are ready to fight to the last man but they are tired and poorly armed.

The whole essence of the leadership of Netanyahu
1. Never offend Joe Biden
2. Trump is our new Great Hope. We have prayed for this wonder of nature to come to us
Never such a cringe moment as Netanyahu bowing to trump as used to be done when handing over the dhimmi tax…when promoting trump for Nobel Peace
But the Mullahs are still in power
It is never an easy thing to give Fascism the power and then remove it later
@fquigley
For now they are…but we will see how long this remains to be true.
Who is Amjad Taha? What do we (Israpundit readers and writers) know about his personal history and who he represents? The Druze in Syria. Lebanon and Israel have all shown great courage in resisting the Islamic Jihadists. In Israel they have acted as loyal citizens defending the state even though they are not Jews. Still, it is not absolutely clear to me that the al-Julani regime is responsible for the attacks on the Syrian Druze by Islamists. It is not even clear that Islamists began the fighting on the “Druze mountain.’ Israel’s decision to go to war with the al-Julani regime when very recently, they were talking about joining the Abraham Accords and even eventual normatlization of relations with Israel , and had met with Israeli diplomats to discuss possible future relations, seems very foolish to me. While Israel’s concern for the well-being of the Druze communities is laudible, the Netanyahu government needs to remmember that Israel is the Jewish state, not a Druze state.
@Adam
Here is a list of the articles/posts containing Taha’s comments which we have previously shared here on Israpundit, but you can search him on the web as he is a well known representative of the moderate voice among the Arabs and quite outspokenly supportive of Israel, more so than his govt I would argue:
https://www.israpundit.org/search/?search-fld=Amjad+Taha
Jolani is the leader of Syria, and has been given great support among the international community as such. Therefore, it falls to Jolani to provide the basic stabilty and security to its people, yet he has failed miserably in doing so, as demonstrated in the slaughter of the Alaawhites and the Druze. In fact, the recognition extended to him was both premature and ill placed as demonstrated by these failures, no matter if it was due to complicity or incompetence, as I explained above.
The intrinsic integration of the Israeli Druze within Israeli society is such that it would be impossible for any govt to ignore the slaughter which has been ongoing in Syria. What is more, the line drawn in the sand just south of Demascus does not advantage the Druze alone, as the extended sphere of control by Israel is both strategically and geopolitically important – recall that on the other side of that sphere of control lies a Turkish proxy, which should not be tolerated near Israel’s northern border.
My own concern is for the disturbing role being played by the US in Syria, as it advantages Turkey far more readily than should be pursued. Also the willingness to pretend that the man whose name is now Shaara is any different than the man whose name was recently Jolani indicates a lack of seriousness which placing a Jihadist terrorist at the head of a diverse population as was the determination of the Trump administration, again, to the very great advantage of supporting Erdogan’s dream of re-establishing the Ottoman empire.
Peloni you are the main person on israpundit who caused this crisis caused by a gift to the jihad. You were silent. Show me where you defended Assad against the jihad?
Now the Druse are caught in the mess caused by your inabilities.
Really you have no right to lead anything much less the Jews.
Jews beware of this incompetent!
@fquigley
Assad had a chance to move towards moderating his nation, but instead he pivoted towards Iran, and thereby established the land bridge to Lebanon which aided the long intimate reach of Iran into turning Israel’s north into a no-man’s land over the past nearly two years. And still you lament the irradication of this Iranian strumpet?
Well, I do not. In a choice between the radical Shia and radical Sunni, it must be made clear that there is no choice to be had. They are both Jihadist, and facing this fact is what is needed by one and all. The fact is that Iranians have access to an immense amount of enriched uranium and this should be enough for most reasonable people to agree that they, and their proxies such as Assad, should have no access to Israel’s northern border.
While reasonable men might disagree, your single-minded obsession of lamenting Assad’s fall does seem too little supported by simple facts. IMHO of course.
The Druze are being hunted by the same barbarians which hunt us Jews. The implosion of Iran’s dominance left a vacuum which Israel was ill disposed to fill, and the consequence is that Erdogan took advantage of this. Despite this fact, if I were given the opportunity effect the reverse of this situation, I would argue that it would be quite foolish to do so. Even so, the threat in the North has not been eliminated, yet no one is suggesting that this is the case, as your straw man argument against me once again portends.
