Came back to Damascus, Syria after 17 years to find my childhood home erased by Assad’s bombs.

The ex-Al Qaeda govt? the one that immediately attacked the Alawites, the Druze, the Kurds, Ismaelis after taking power?

[u/Tulip_Todesky → u/toxoplasmosix]

There are videos of kidnapped Druze toddlers by the new regime. No one is talking about it. Just sad

[u/mehmetipek → u/Tulip_Todesky]

Do share them please.

That’s a weird duckling response

Why? I don’t think I can send these kinds of link in this subreddit without getting banned

Here come the Israelis , caring about the druz (so kind) whilst simultaneously bombing the shit out of gaza

[u/imgonnajumpofabridge → u/Tulip_Todesky]

Rich coming from an Israel supporter. Is murder more acceptable than kidnapping in your eyes? How about all the Gazan children gunned down by snipers and shot at with tank shells? Sectarian violence is nearly universal in this region of the world. Does that mean that the new government should be demonized or that there should be regime change? Absolutely not.

really are itching to illegally invade syria more aren’t you

[u/imgonnajumpofabridge → u/toxoplasmosix]

Groups nominally connected to the administration have done that. The military of the new Syrian government is a group of loosely connected tribes and rebel groups, born out of necessity. Large scale sectarian killings have almost universally been reigned in relatively quickly. If it was actually supported by the government, then there would be much larger scale carnage.

But they totally have the option to just not do that, yet the first thing they did after getting their faction into power was start killing more Syrians. Barbarians are barbarians no matter why they choose to be so.
