Oh my, we are now at a stage where any diplomatic support from the US depends on the nation selling its natural resources to us. Pay to play at its worst.

"invite American companies to exploit the nation's oil and gas resources..."

Trump is a "man of peace"? This makes me think of Jimmy Carter praising the Shah of Iran for maintaining an island of stability in the Middle East.

Both Biden and Trump are war criminals for what they have not just allowed Israel, but expedited. Biden was subservient to Netanyahu, even making the traitorous claim of being a Zionist (which rejects liberty and justice for all). Trump is more in the line of telling Netanyahu to just get on with the bloody business and let Trump golf.

Two snakes consolidating their long pre-planned "deal" to fully rape and pillage Syria. Well paid (for now)"President" Jolani will even "fight" (whatever that means) his own band of ISIS/Al Qaeda mercenaries to please the "God-sent man of peace." No mention of course of Israel.

My heart breaks for the Syrians.

NYU Law School is telling students to agree to give up their constitutional right to free speech or not be allowed to take their final exams. If you don't think this sort of thing ought to happen, here's a campaign to let NYU know this is not acceptable.

You're never going to reply to the actual topic, are you.

Of course, the destruction of Syria was first and foremost a business opportunity for western investors. Surprise, surprise.

Sure, read the article, but look at the photo. Do you know dead eyes when you see them? How do we know for sure that this guy was not hatched from a lab, engineered to purpose? Nothing would surprise me.

In this fascinating, but revolting “game”, who has clean hands? Or hands with any integrity??

Sickening. Al Qaeda has gone full circle from western ally to enemy to ally again.

Extremists Sunni Muslims, including head-chopping wahabi Saudi Arabia, have revealed themselves as White House militia, right up there with MAGA, World Bank, IMF. So much for liberation.

Humans must unite and fight back.

Israel does not “occupy” the Golan Heights. The Golan Heights is part of Israel as Vermont is part of the US.

Ed, have you seen the movie, "Israelism"? Your comment would suggest you attended a school like the one depicted in the movie.
