    It depends how far Israel goes with this. Syria isn’t in a position to to pick fights or hold grudges. But Syrian rebel groups aren’t going to let Israel conquer them or leave them so debilitated someone else can conquer them. If Israel keeps it’s attacks to abandoned regime military equipment and the land grabs to the Golan Heights then Syrian rebel groups are probably going to let it slide for the foreseeable future.

    Responding to Jolani, the Israel Defense Forces chief of staff, Herzi Halevi, said: “We aren’t intervening in what is happening in Syria. We have no intention of administering Syria.”

    It’s also important to remember that when Israel says they don’t want to administer other people or countries they mean they don’t want to rule other people, they want the land and resources. That’s why they are killing everyone in the Gaza strip and refusing to leave despite saying they don’t want to administer Palestinians. Forming a greater Israel means taking as much land as they can get away with and killing and/or ostracizing everyone on it who isn’t a Jew. edit: typo

      Israel kills people, both Palestinian and Lebanese, regardless of whether their religion is Muslim, Christian, or Jewish

      Israel does not care about the safety of Jewish people. Their constant deflection about how their military actions are in the name of protecting Jewish people, and the intentional conflation of anti-zionism and antisemitism, has only increased genuine antisemitism at the expense of Jewish people worldwide

        Palestinians live in Israel and the Israel government does not care about Palestinian citizens of Israel. They claim to care about Jewish Israelis and Jews more broadly. A fascist makes a hierarchy not for the people at the top the hierarchy, but for the fascists. My only point was that Jews are at the top of the Zionist hierarchy, not that the Zionists in control of Israel care about Jews, because they do not.

        Of course Israel and Russia, for that matter, do not really care about Jews or Russians respectively or people at all for that matter. Israel’s fascist government targets Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians because they are the other. A scope goat to misdirect class resentment from the owner class to minorities and foreigners.

        Israel does not care about the safety of Jewish people. Their constant deflection about how their military actions are in the name of protecting Jewish people, and the intentional conflation of anti-zionism and antisemitism, has only increased genuine antisemitism at the expense of Jewish people worldwide

        No kidding and well said. I, as a Jew, am less safe now than before Israel’s genocide. The point is the genocide is being carried out in the name of Israeli Jews and Jews more broadly, which sucks. To be clear, I am anti-zionist and anti-fascist, but not antisemtic. Anti-zionism and anti-fascism should always go hand in hand because zionism is a form of fascism.

        Also, as long as I’m dancing around using the word, I don’t particularly like the term diaspora Jew. I am not living in diaspora. I live in the US where I am full citizen. I have rights and freedoms here that are not preconditioned on whether or not I am Jewish. edit: typo

      If the settlers get their way they will try to take everything to the Euphrates. My new personal nightmare is Trump detailing American troops to help.
