I was a bit confused by the perception expressed by Mearsheimer that the Israeli's perception of themselves has improved greatly after the attack by Hamas, understandable on some level since Israel's retaliatory response and US support has helped them feel safer. However, it has shown them to also be a sick, shallow, and highly prejudicial society, and is seen by much of the world as nothing more then that. Hard to believe that the majority of Israeli's are unaware of the negligence of their government in preventing the Hamas attack by ignoring multiple warnings, and that they are now using the attack to implement a long awaited genocide, a long time in the making. I see them as a society complicit in supporting this genocide which is unforgivable, and will be unforgettable. I also feel disgusted that we are helping to carry out this genocide and lying about it's true intentions.
The Israeli's knew Hamas was going to attack. They were forewarned by those who monitored the gate and complained of "odd" behavior on the part of Hamas for quite some time, but were ignored and died as a result during the attack. Israel had the plans Hamas was going to implement and dismissed them as too complicated for them to carry out, as well as the warnings of an impending attack they received from Egypt. Hamas thought that their attack was going to be a suicide mission, but no Israel allowed them plenty of time to implement their attack, since they were not a presence for a good part of that day. Israeli lies of dead babies and rape and implementing the Hannibal elective gave greater credibility to Israel's assault on Gaza, well, genocide. No one really likes to make this type of claim less they sound like a conspiracy nut, but I'm sure there are quite of few people in our government as well as in Israel who believe this scenario to be true, but governments across the board have for years made people feel such claims only come from conspiracy nuts.
Great interview, John. However, the arrogance of the interviewer is evident, as they seem to believe that the Syrian people don’t deserve a new government and view Jolani as part of an American conspiracy. 🤦🏽♀️
Why don’t Americans do the same in Gaza then?
I hate Western arrogance, but these new rulers in Syria will become the best allies of the Palestinian resistance—just give it a year or two.
It's not western arrogance it's a natural reaction to being lied to repeatedly and often by our government. Also who can say with certainly what is going to happen since the whole intended purpose of our Middle Eastern wars and who we were doing them for was nothing but a lie. Yeah, Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, no he didn't, nothing but a lie sold to us by Israel and the US. We were lied into a chain of wars where millions of people lost their lives or were displaced, their countries ruined. Whose being naive here? I don't know whether the newly formed government will service the people of Syria, America didn't, with our proxy war in Syria, and I doubt Israel will.
That’s right. But people were fucked up under the Assad regime, right? Have you seen the prison of Sidnaya? Kids made from rape came out without ever seeing the sun in their lives. We need to agree on this before I can keep answering.
No one said the Assad regime, was without it's faults, to be kind, and who knows what is going to happen. Remember it is not only the intentions of the new regime, but what the US and Israel have planned for it's future as well. Trust them? Look at how the US is willing to use the lives of the Ukrainian people, 600 thousand dead Ukrainian soldiers and we claim it's all for the good of Ukraine. Bullshit. We're just using them as we have used so many others.
I can’t respond to many assumptions. What do you want from the Syrians? To be slaughtered for 53 years, and for what?
Hamas, despite the blockade in Gaza, managed to attack Israel. Why didn’t the Assad family shoot a single bullet at Israel for 50 years? By the way, Assad’s father sold the Golan Heights in 1967 so he could make a coup in 1970—if you didn’t know that.
What I can tell you is that you are right, your governments lie to you about many things. They lie to both you and us about the idea that nothing can fix the mess in the Middle East. I don’t listen to the barbaric Western governments. I have no doubt that Palestine will be liberated soon, and on its path, the governments of Egypt, Jordan, and others will fall, just like Assad’s regime. The only thing Israel and the West fear is the people rising up against the Arab leaders, because all of them, without exception, are Western puppets. I am very positive about what’s happening in Syria, and the rest will follow very soon.
I hope you are right, no one is saying they want less for them, but it's the issue of trust that Americans, especially in this 21st century, have an issue with in terms of their own government which I think is the real issue. As far as I'm concerned I don't trust most of what America has to say after more then 20 years of war and destruction based on lies. Not for one moment do I think the US cares about the Syrian people and their well being, especially what they allowed to happen to them in this century. Aaron Mate really covers Syria well, and what the US has implemented in that country starting under the Obama administration.
I didn’t read what Aaron wrote, but if he thinks it’s an American conspiracy, I can ask: why did Assad fall in 11 days? If it’s a conspiracy, why didn’t Hamas fall after 15 months with much fewer resources? How did Hezbollah manage to fight face-to-face for two months? Why didn’t the Americans set another trap like they did for Assad? Simply because the US and Israel do not have unlimited power. Assad fell because he is one of the worst tyrants of our modern time. I’m Palestinian, but I hated him. Look at Gaza—the people there celebrated his downfall. Humans are equal, and you can’t fight for Palestine on the blood of other Syrians.
You will read in the coming months how Assad was a traitor for the West as well.

It's Palastinian Holocaust!?!?! Dispicable Israeli ZIONISTS 🙏☹️
If that. I wonder it were a false flag; Israel carried it out itself and claimed furriners did it. Wouldn't be first time.

They were forewarned by those who monitored the gate and complained of "odd" behavior on the part of Hamas for quite some time, but were ignored and died as a result during the attack.

BBC: Israel has killed 5 journalists.
Also BBC: Guess what? They weren’t journalists at all. It all began in October 7th.

How can Al Quada et al be anything but a rogue up for sale force to the highest bidder
Why even ask? You’re smart enough to already have all the answers, right?
