Al-Qaeda-linked ‘rebels’ in Syria say they ‘love Israel’. USA gave them billions in weapons & support

The US spent billions over years arming and training militants in Syria, many linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS. The extremist “rebels” who took over the country told the Israeli media they “love Israel”.

The United States spent billions over years arming and training militants in Syria, many linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Current US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan admitted back in 2012 that “AQ [Al-Qaeda] is on our side in Syria”.

In December 2024, armed extremists overthrew the Syrian government and seized power in the capital Damascus, in an operation sponsored by NATO member Turkey.

This assault was led by a rebranded Al-Qaeda militia that espouses a fanatical Salafi-jihadist ideology.

Some of the Al-Qaeda-linked “rebels” who now rule Syria told the Israeli media that they “love Israel”. They vowed to establish a new pro-Western regime in the country.

Israel has for years given weapons and other forms of support to extremist “rebels” in Syria, including Al-Qaeda. They successfully toppled the government of President Bashar al-Assad, who had refused to recognize Israel and had provided military aid to resistance groups in the region.

Rebranded Al-Qaeda takes over Syria

The Salafi-jihadist militants who seized Syria’s second-biggest city Aleppo in late November, and subsequently took over Damascus on December 8, were portrayed sympathetically in Western media as “rebels”, but they were led by rebranded Al-Qaeda.

The main armed group that conquered Syria is called Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which emerged out of the country’s Al-Qaeda affiliate, Jabhat al-Nusra (also known as the Nusra Front). This was previously the largest branch of Al-Qaeda in the world.

HTS superficially distanced itself from Al-Qaeda as part of a Western-backed public relations campaign to depict itself as more “moderate”. Neoconservative think tanks in Washington have whitewashed HTS leaders as “diversity-friendly jihadists”, but they still maintain the same fascist ideology.

In fact, despite this cynical rebranding effort, the US government officially recognized HTS as a terrorist organization in 2018, adding the extremist group to its previous designation of Jabhat al-Nusra.

Terrorist designations like this, nevertheless, have not stopped the US and its allies in Israel, Turkey, and the Gulf monarchies from providing support to Al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria.

HTS had previously established a de facto government in Syria’s northwestern Idlib province, where it ruled with an iron fist, with direct assistance from NATO member Turkey.

The rebranded Al-Qaeda militia used Idlib as its base of operations to launch the assault on neighboring Aleppo in November 2024. Major French media outlet AFP reported that Syrian “opposition sources in touch with Turkish intelligence said Turkey had given a green light to the offensive”.

After taking Aleppo, the extremists moved south and captured the capital, overthrowing the government.

Israel’s far-right Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took credit for the victory of the rebranded Al-Qaeda death squad.

Netanyahu proudly stated that the fall of Assad was “a direct result of the blows we have inflicted on Iran and Hezbollah”.

Jake Sullivan: “AQ is on our side in Syria”

The fact that Syrian Al-Qaeda has been allied with the West was acknowledged by none other than Jake Sullivan, who serves as national security advisor in the Joe Biden administration.

When Barack Obama was president, Sullivan was a top aide for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. In 2012, he used his State Department email to send Clinton a message — which was later made public by WikiLeaks.

“AQ is on our side in Syria”, Sullivan wrote, using an acronym for Al-Qaeda.

Sullivan may as well tell people Al-Qaeda-engineered 9/11 attack is
now an unfortunate event from distant past better forgotten. Al-Qaeda
is now our ally because that is what our master in Israel wants.

Yes, that was a draft resolution that was just passed.
Funny that it's called a "draft" resolution and not just a resolution.

What would be the reason for that?

Perhaps it means that it is NOT an actual or finalized resolution. Since you couldn't produce a resolution #, as I'd requested, allow to be of service and provide the #.

It is resolution #0000. The UNGA has yet to pass a resolution condemning Israel of genocide.

Jews had been persecuted for centuries by Christians
before that. Persercutions and discrimination against
Jews subsided somewhat after the Holocaust. Palestinians
had nothing to do with persecution of Jews historically.
Which goes to show that all of this "anti-Zionism" talk is a totally bullshit false flag operation. It's hatred of Jews.

As you point out, it has always been anti-Semitism, pure and simple. Jews have been hated throughout history for nothing more than the fact that they are Jews and it continues to this day. Inventing the term anti-Zionism and turning it into an evil agenda to want to have a homeland, as every peoples does, and then claim that every Jew is a Zionist or supports Zionism was done for no other reason than to demonize Israel and Jews.

Thank you for helping me once again make my point about anti-Zionism being nothing more than another and new iteration of historical anti-Semitism.

Yes, and what happens next?
You really are hopeless.

You make Blinken's logic look clever.

Except that antisemitism was a European issue, not a Palestinian issue.
Palestine was a multicultural state, with Jews, Muslims and Christians living together peacefully.

Typical zionist logic, always justifying violence by declaring the world is out to get you.

Since you keep claiming that Israel has committed genocide.

The more relevant question is what has not happened, which would have supported your claim, but unfortunately for you, has not.

The UNGA has NOT passed any resolutions condemning Israel of having committed genocide. That's your problem, not mine.
