For the second time this week, Israeli warplanes carried out airstrikes against several sites in the Syrian capital city of Damascus. Syrian state media reported that some of the missiles were intercepted by air defense.
Sites in the city and to the west of the city were hit, and state media reported physical damage only, with no sign as of yet of any casualties from the attacks.
Exactly what was being targeted, as always, isn’t very clear, though Israel generally presents whatever they are attacking as Iranian, and that is often broadly defined to include Shi’ites in general. Sites in use by Shi’ite militias, in particular Lebanon’s Hezbollah, are often the targets.
Israel usually declines official comment on its attacks, saying they have a policy not to comment on reports of strikes coming from overseas. Israeli media, however, will tend to offer narratives in keeping with the targeting of Shi’ites.
Spurned by Russia, rejected as mediators, now back to disrupting. Syria. Pretending not to see the convenient excuses for state sanctioned confiscation of private property, homes, businesses, land, art. It is hard not to see paralels.
Our taking of the property of others, interfering in commerce is in violation of our Constitution. As we type away, Afghan children are dying, private citizens and merchants have not money in the banks, for we have begun the siege, as we did to Iraq, that killed 500,000 Iraqi children.
It has been a notm for a while taking state prooerty and money from “enemy” states.
But what fascinates me today, is this non-existent outcry over state taking the property of private induviduals that have not broken any laws and are guilty by the.virtue of nationality.
This looks to me like an excuse to plunder someone’s wealth and appropriate it by others lurking in the background.
I have no love of the way many wealthy have made their wealth, but it is the inviolability of private property principle that needs to be protected.
Once started, the process can easily be applied to anyone. No need to change laws, no need for judicial processs,
“Independant” justice system is turningcout to be very dependent on the power of state and the wealthy people who underlin it.
Washington is just worried about those 120 or so Ukrainian kids that have been killed BY THE RUSSIANS. A few hundred thousand from the Middle East the US, ho hum.
Yep. It was “worth it”.
So where’s the sanctions, guys? Let’s see mass confiscations of private funds and properties to help Israel return to an approved international path of diplomacy… Yeah I thought so – stony silence.
The silence is deafening…
Sanctions? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! There ain’t going to be no sanctions about the chosen (illegal) country.
They’re on Iran and Syria, of course.
The MSM is all over this story, the story of the Israeli war against Syria. It is big news! /s
Israel generally presents whatever they are attacking as Iranian
Whether it is or not.
Parasitic IsraHell does what it wishes thanks to support from its host Amerikkka. If the IsraHellis bombed DC, we’d probably come up with a “reason” for them doing so and pat them on the back.
And give them more bombs.
focus on ukraine only . its easier to start trouble elsewhere.
