During last night’s Israeli attacks in Quineitra, Israel dropped threatening leaflets into Syrian bases, ordering them to stop cooperating with Hezbollah and warning that doing so has “brought you destruction.”
While propaganda leaflets aren’t unheard of for Israel, this one is noteworthy because it explicitly claims credit for previous strikes which the Israeli government had not commented on. Israel largely doesn’t confirm its attacks on Syria.
Ironically, Israel has refused to comment on the leaflets themselves, though they don’t appear to be in any real question. The leaflets contain the symbol of the Israeli military’s 210th Division, which is active in the occupied Golan Heights.
It’s not clear what impact threatening Syrian troops at the ground level might have, as naturally decisions to cooperate with Hezbollah are made at a national level by the Syrian government, not among individual troops stationed close to Israel.
Since Israel always lies, one can safely assume this is also a lie.
Further, sometimes what Israel publishes is the exact opposite of the truth. In this case, to make the leaflets truthful they should read:
“Cooperating with Hezbollah is preventing your destruction and you must continue working with your allies if you wish to survive”. That is much closer to the truth.
Rational people will NEVER do what Israel desires since that can only help Israel and harm yourself.
Marxists are paragons of virtue and integrity.
Compared to IsraeLies, almost any regime, anywhere, seem like paragons of virtue and integrity.
One day, I hope Iran and allies liberate occupied Palestine.
I have really lost all hope that our government will do the right thing and stop defending the actions of Israel.
I’ll admit I know nothing about the internal politics of the little terrorist state, but this incident makes me wonder who is running things over there.
No way can I see this as a clever move, so who did it? A disorganized and incompetent government? Or is the IDF starting to behave like the Kwantung Army in Manchuria during the thirties of the last century? The latter basically ignored the government in Tokyo.
Does the World’s Most Moral Army want to start a war, and is acting accordingly?
