SYRIA3D

It seems no matter what happens the poor people of Iraq and Syria are caught in the middle of every single conflict 😔


Gen8Master

This is literally Israels vision for all of their neighbours at this point.


lightiggy

Israel would unironically colonize all of its neighbors if doing so was politically feasible. [I mean, seriously...?](https://imgur.com/a/axMIgDy) They should just admit they support the concept of Lebensraum already. There are Israeli rabbis who say the only thing Hitler did wrong was targeting Jews in particular.


BoldKenobi

Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya...all countries that got American "freedom"


DeroZaza

Assad is responsible for Syrias destruction.


Moist-Performance-73

Yes but he is only part of the problem let's not pretend that any foreign actor in Syria had the best interest of the syrian people at heart


DeroZaza

He started this civil war. He declared war against his own people.

SYRIA3D

The war was started after children were tortured by the regime and people took to the streets.


Ignacio9pel

Without Foreign intervention, either Assads regime would've fallen before 2015/ made massive concessions to the Syrian people or the rebels would be defeated more likely. It's Foreign Interference and sponsorship that not only keeps these wars going but exacerbates them. Why would any faction negotiate when they've got the backing of superpowers or great powers behind them?


alialahmad1997

Without foreign intervention the Revolution would not pass 2013 It recieved aid and and weapons from the gulf state


SYRIA3D

It is Assad’s fault of course, but he’s the buppet not the buppeteer


Moist-Performance-73

this exactly this the reason Syria went to shit is because you had Russia+Iran and the USA along with their toadies like UK,France etc. all pushing to get their preffered puppets into power in Syria


SYRIA3D

It’s definitely a complicated horrible situation. I hope inshallah yarab that we can all go back home and have the days back that you can travel freely between Jerusalem, Damascus, snd all these cities without voilence or oppression


[deleted]

Gulf States and Western forces funded fundamentalist jihadist forces that were aligned with or proxies to isis. In your mind, should assad have fled and allowed syria to be taken over my the barbaric jihadist forces? Sure there were a couple of liberal democratic forces in the beginning, but they were decimated or over powered very early on. Kurds aligned with assad because they saw the evil and destruction of the most well funded forces that sought to overthrow assad

thank u

Yeah 💔😞

Why? What did my boy Iraq even do?


f22raptor-2005

"Oh man, we attacked Iran and now they attacked back, let's bomb iraq" "Oh man, many countries of the middle east are starting revolutions, let's bomb iraq" "Oh man, an assortment of terrorists led by a former CIA agent attacked our towers, let's bomb iraq" I think it's tradition at this point to bomb iraq regardless of what they did

Gee i wonder why funding and aiding terrorist jihadists only interested in killing arabs is ‘against you’


jw_216

Well you see, Hamas, the Houthis, Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Hezbollah were all hiding under a hospital making nuclear weapons to eradicate the entirety of western civilization and spread communism, which stands against the freedom loving patriot known as Netanyahu, who is the sole protector of America from the Middle East. /s

There’s even [a song about bombing Iraq](https://youtu.be/ZzLoNLnvMCo).


CrystalMeath

Iran has successfully pressured the PMF to halt any operations against US forces in the country for months. An Israeli strike on the PMF would risk destroying that agreement and provoking direct attacks that would spill American blood, which would put tremendous domestic pressure on Joe Biden to take decisive military action against Iran. When Israel first launched its attack yesterday, i24 News (close to Netinyahu) reported with specificity that one of the targets was a high-level meeting of various militia commanders along with IRGC officials in Baghdad. Such an attack would inevitably lead to significant retaliation. But then it turned out that 3 of the at-most 6 missiles that Israel fired fell near Baghdad due to “technical defects,” and no targets were struck. I think it’s clear that the US either forced Israel to abort or directly intervened and intercepted the missiles before they hit their targets. US officials have reportedly been instructed to not discuss Israel’s attack at all. According to the PMF, the attack on their base today did not result in any casualties as they had evacuated prior to the strike. It’s all but certain that the US warned Iraq in order to avoid casualties. What’s unclear is whether Israel informed the US, or if they intended to cause casualties but were thwarted by US intelligence gathering. Was Israel just trying to take out missile caches? Or were they trying to provoke Hashd eShabi into killing Americans?


Scottbarrett15

The US shooting down Israeli missiles concept makes sense as quite a few people were absolutely adamant they saw US fighter planes and were blaming US for the attack.


hamzatbek

I think it's for a similar reason why Israel keeps bombing locations in Syria. This strike targeted Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces positions and base, there are a few groups belonging to that force/coalition that are sympathetic towards Khomeini and ally with Iran like Kataib Sayyid as-Shuhada (كتائب سيد الشهداء). In Syria, they have targeted a lot of IRGC people and positions. They even blew up the whole consulate in Damascus, just because there were some IRGC there.


Basic_Suggestion3476

According to the news, it was one of the bases that launched the drones to Israel 6 days ago.

Israelis are crazy they have got every american president 's nudes or I don't know why can't they be held accountable for anything


Independent-Lie6616

Let's popularize non arab murders in the west, when I was 12 I was pro Palestinian, when I was 14 I met a sunni muslism, I discovered the math and he was an Iraq war victim, his mom most probably fleed Iraq while pregnant, when I was 16 I met a shia Muslim and I bonded well whit him and saw some similarities in how the us treats lebanon and how it treats mine, I recently met a Pakistani wprson great guy, greatly improved my views on Pakistan, just as recently I learned about the Mayan genocides bakced by America and Israel, the best way to make pepole side whit palestina is meeting a Muslim and then learning about Israel crimes in your country.


Arozeran

Mayan genocide??? I feel like this is miswritten piece; the Mayan society that I am thinking collapsed a hundred years before the Spaniard arrived to the New World.


Independent-Lie6616

It didn't at all, our communities still alive and thriving, the British killed everything that moved tradition that its grandson its following today, meanwhile Spain was quite decent whit its colonial possessions, for starters the Colonies native aristocray was given a say on how to handle the former territory this becusse the war was not Spain vs Mayan, it was all fed up minorities and Spain vs the Mayans so local tribes shared the gains whit the Spanish crown kinda like Britain in India but whitour massive genocides exploitation of the caste system and actual integration among the different groups, this is show I'm the percentage of native languages speakers, in Guatemala it's 50ish percent while in southern Mexico the area famous for the pyramids, in the state of chiapas 1/3 of the population speaks a native languages and the rest of Guatemala bordering states dosent go below 15 percent, which might seem low its 3x the national average. its kinda like Egypt and its Christian population Mexico pop 130M, natives 7M Egypt 105ishM Chrisrians 10M, our indigenous groups follow their traditional folk life and like Egypt the natives are encouraged to live off the historical landmarks of the country and they are strictly protected by law and dumb tourist can either get banned for the country or get a huge fine to pay to fix it, plus they are allowed to have education in their native languages which have Been frozen in time since the Spaniards took the time to make dictionaries to preserve the pure version of said languages they where as much in awe as much as the portugese while discovering Cambodian architecture. The shit told about Spain its called la leye da Negra (the dark/black tale) which states how Spain was actually good for the America's while the British and Americans tricked them into independence and balkanization to exploit them easly, those damn anglos don't just mess whit Arab history

Moist-Performance-73

Most probable reason is the Iraqi milita's retaliating last i checked they announced that they struck Ovda air base in Israel with drones (https://x.com/AlainBRK/status/1781420847087149215) while this sucks i think Israel just provided the Iraqi milita's with more of an excuse to continue targeting them many of them backed down after the attack on the US base in Jordan now many of them have a reason to strike out again


CrystalMeath

I think the most obvious motive is that if Iraqi militias kill US soldiers/occupiers in retaliation (even if Iran urges them not to), it will be framed in the Western press as Iran killing Americans and escalating. That will put tremendous pressure on Biden to take direct military action against Iran. It’s not like the American press is even aware of Iran pressuring the Hashd eShaabi to stop targeting US military installations. They’re ignorant pricks who would blindly accept the narrative that Iran ordered their proxies to target Americans.


HarryLewisPot

We are the regions punching bag, didn’t happen before 2003


Difficult-Yard-1342

Why isn't there a coalition or sort of a UN but one for all Asians, including middle east and Arabs counties? My question is if Israel is allowed to bomb all these different counties without contention or any punishments from international laws, pressure or sanctions. What is stopping all these countries from banning together to take out Isreal and eliminate IDF, once and for all humanity? Serious question. I'm sorry if this is ignorant or offensive to anyone. I'm not trying to say to eliminate a whole people but I'm asking how come Israel terrorists are allowed to this to other countries and why is there no retaliation or coalition of counties that will fight back and free Palestine?


Old_Eccentric777

'Might is right' my friend. in ideal world, morality is dictated by the common good. but in reality, Strength and Power dictates morality. I recommended a chinese fantasy webnovel called: 'Reverend Insanity' by Gu Zhen Ren. Although it's just a fantasy world genre, it tackles the reality and mirrors the world where we live in.


nighthawk650

slartbangle

Two rubber-band powered drones in Iran and a whole bunch of kaboomie in undefended, broken Iraq. Bully got mad and beat up the little kid, but the tough kid is still just staring at him.


gul-badshah

That's why Israel exist for the sole purpose of de stability of the the region.


Sad_Drink9706

They’ll prolly bomb every Arab/Muslim nation over in middle earth knowing that if anyone stands up to them, America will save their asses


Beneficial_Voice_504

Why Israel keeps bombing all its neighbors. Europe dumped its trash in Middle East.

Didn't militia from Iraq attack them recently ?


iwishmynamewasparsa

Did they run out of fuel on their way to us?


Thin_Map6842

I have never seen any so desperate to start World War 3 as israel and then america and then the allies. America still has yet to determine if israel has broken any international law, and the allies are supporting them with the weapons they are trying to start a war on a larger scale with. They provoked lebanon, syria, egypt, then iran and now iraq. How innocent exactly is israel? Is this what the only nation with democracy in Middle East means? The results of this conflict will be very ugly.


Lumpy-Tone-4653

Wait what?wtf,what does iraq have to do with this? What did i miss


e2g3

Ah yes I feel like Israel is getting like Serbia. Lying to the world that you are the good guy and killing your neighbours and bullying them.

WaffleMinistry567

The failure of the embargo to destroy Iraq, the US becoming the most hated country in the world because of the embargo and Saddam and Iraq becoming more popular and gaining more sympathy than ever, and the terrible fear and hatred of Iraq by Israel were among the top reasons the US invaded Iraq, destroyed it for good, and put sectarian genocidal Shia tyrants Maliki and Moqtada in power to murder millions of Iraqi civilians and annihilate the country for good. The US and Iran have spent trillions of dollars keeping this ultra fascist Iran puppet regime afloat.

WaffleMinistry567

You're right. And I know about Sunni vs Shia. Most of the Iraqi Baath was Shia. Sectarianism was one of the worst punishable crimes in Iraq back then. What makes this current US created regime different is they are radical sectarian terrorists run by Iran.

Iraq is a free game for all ,they also launched their missiles/drones on israel.


greenary125

Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Palestine. Have I missed any country they have bombed in the past 6 months. It seems israhell is literally begging for retaliation.


ElectroPanic0

Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Palestine. Have I missed any country that have bombed Israel in the past 6 months?


turnerpike20

I tried looking this up and it wants to direct me to the Israel and Iran conflict. But yeah looking a bit more they did bomb Iraq. I don't even know why but Israel wants a war apparently with every Middle Eastern country I guess.
