Pretty sure Israel favors the new government over the old one

Misconception. Assad mostly protected the Alawites (some of which live in Israel,) whereas the new government DGAF, to the point the Syrian Alawites have asked for help from the IDF

Deeper dive. Note the passage from 2011:
quote:

The Alawites cannot openly ally with Israel and they are not foolish enough to switch to a partnership with the Americans, who have repeatedly demonstrated themselves to be unreliable allies.

Misconception


Israel was anti-assad because he was allies with Iran and was Iran's conduit to Hamas and hezbollah.

This is a very good thing. Make Syria Great Again.

How about we start by convincing the barbaric motherfrickers to stop murdering innocent people in the streets by the thousands in an ethnic cleansing and sectarian violence?

That would be super.

So, now we support Al Qaeda in Syria. At this point, why shouldn’t we just normalize relations with the Taliban and reopen the embassy?

Where have you been?


The US has supported pretty much every terrorist group at one point or another.


Did you know the taliban was originally there to fight the soviets? Meaning they were on our side.

90% of this board was highly critical of Assad's overthrow because the rebel leader was an al qaeda militant. Now everyone is flip flopping because Trump is showing him favor?

You nailed it.

The zionists… want to rule over the entire region.


I’m not sure I can produce any evidence of this statement that they want to “rule” that region.

They sure as hell want to Palestinians out.
