    Al-Sharaa is actually kind of an ok guy. I don’t want to say that with complete conviction because unfortunately things haven’t gone well for Syrians for a long time and power vacuums can be dangerous when filled. That said, he seems to actually want to help his people, seems open to fair agreements and some more social responsible rules. I’m not going to speak on the woman as I have no idea, but peace with the Middle East and the US is a positive thing. Understanding them and being in a mutually respecting relationship will only serve us both well. I just hope that it ends up also being truly positive for all Syrians. They deserve peace and freedom after decades of oppression.

        This isn’t good evidence. Netanyahu and israel backed and sent aid and support to Hamas for a long time because they want that opposition to use it as an excuse to do whatever.

        Ah, that’s why Israel bombed the fuck out of his military in day one! Because he’s their agent! And Assad wasn’t, because they never bombed him. Riiight!

      His thugs have been massacring Christians and other minorities. Syria is a multi confessional state and the Sunni islamofascists now in charge are putting an end to that.

        There’s been some incidents which are outliers. If they wanted to massacre it would be a lot worse. Al jolani has mentioned they will bring those to justice, we will see if he fulfills this promise.
