geneva_convenienceTerrorism is when you say America bad
WorxAnd why are the pictures relevant? Because Middle Eastern men are terrorists by default, and attractive women are pure of heart?
Jolani is literally an Al Qaeda commander who is now the unelected dictator, sorry, President of Syria. His thugs are massacring Christians, Druze and Alawites in the same way as his ISIS brothers were doing.
What your saying isn’t true.
He was an al qaeda affiliate, he later wiped al qaeda from Syria with his group.
There hasn’t been a massacre of Christians as you espouse. There was some aggressive incidents caused by a few but Jolani has been deploying his army to safe guard Christians and their church’s.
There was 1 incident of an alawaite massacre after which he sent troops to calm things down. And promised to take those to account, we will see if he fulfills this promise.
Other fights with alwaites are with old regime hold outs.
No, he has not been going around massacring people ISIS as you espouse.
The truth is, it is too early to tell what type Jolani will be.
According to the media he is about to sell out the Golan to Israel so it’s clear he’s a vassal to the US Empire.
He was literally Al Qaeda in Syria. He founded and led Al Nusra front which pledged loyalty to Ayman Zawahiri. He split from Daesh and continued to align with Al Qaeda.
He is a Sunni fundamentalist and there have been repeated accounts if Alawites, Druze and Christians being massacred. This is being whitewashed as counter insurgency by Western propaganda.
Excuse my ignorance but last I heard they were explicitly not massacarring anyone or taking a strong stance in any way as to not get deposed before they were internally stable? And is the dictator part a jab at coming to power with a coup or is there something else?
The massacres and targeting of minorities are being under-reported by Corproate media, probably because Syria is now a vassal state of the US under Jolani.
Here is some information

Yes the jab was the Jolani took power and has set out no path to elections, which doesn’t seem to concern the West, provided he does Israel’s bidding.
Massacres of civilians in Syria must be investigated as war crimes
The Syrian government must ensure that the perpetrators of a wave of mass killings targeting Alawite civilians in coastal areas are held accountable and take immediate steps to ensure that no person or group is targeted on the basis of their sect, Amnesty International said today.
It is funny how your comment reveals more about your own prejudices than anybody else.
try the meme without the photos- just bullet points and see how far it gets.
This is literally the 'colorblind' argument
Al-Sharaa is actually kind of an ok guy. I don’t want to say that with complete conviction because unfortunately things haven’t gone well for Syrians for a long time and power vacuums can be dangerous when filled. That said, he seems to actually want to help his people, seems open to fair agreements and some more social responsible rules. I’m not going to speak on the woman as I have no idea, but peace with the Middle East and the US is a positive thing. Understanding them and being in a mutually respecting relationship will only serve us both well. I just hope that it ends up also being truly positive for all Syrians. They deserve peace and freedom after decades of oppression.
Sharaa is an Israeli backed agent. He is already selling out Syria to Israel. The only time he fights people is when they oppose Israel. For more info see youtu.be/vweHtxqnh-Y?t=153 and keep in mind that Al Nusra is Jolani’s group.
Ex-Mossad head on Israel medical aid to al-Nusra Front - UpFront
This isn’t good evidence. Netanyahu and israel backed and sent aid and support to Hamas for a long time because they want that opposition to use it as an excuse to do whatever.
Keep watching the video to find out what he says about Hezbollah.
Ah, that’s why Israel bombed the fuck out of his military in day one! Because he’s their agent! And Assad wasn’t, because they never bombed him. Riiight!
His thugs have been massacring Christians and other minorities. Syria is a multi confessional state and the Sunni fascists now in charge are putting an end to that.
There’s been some incidents which are outliers. If they wanted to massacre it would be a lot worse. Al jolani has mentioned they will bring those to justice, we will see if he fulfills this promise.
This is fine🔥🐶☕🔥Joe Wilkinson and Chelsea Peretti.

Wow, let’s top discrimination by being racist.
Both can be good or bad independent of their outward appearance.
He’s projecting the same orientalism back at the empire to illustrate a point. It was never about wearing a beard. Or even about joining ISIS.
It was about not being a politically advantageous ally to the US empire.
There are better ways to make a point. The implication is that he is worse because is Muslim.
The implication is that all the nonsense people have been fed about people being labelled terrorists because they are Muslim or wear a beard was a massive sham. And that the actual ISIS terrorists, not the targets of Islamophobic smears, are getting off the terror list for obeying America and Israel.
Oh, I understand the point they are trying to make. They are just using racism to make it. If you asse everyone is racist toake your point, you’re promoting racism.
You're saying all oop wanted to do by picking an old photo where the man they label as a terrorist wears stereotypically terrorist clothes was to imply that looks don't determine who you are?
Yes. I don’t think you know who Trita Parsi is.
I don't. I did assume oop was a white guy and it seems I was wrong, but regardless of who posted you don't break down stereotypes by reinforcing them. If he's not being racist for the sake of it, then either he's being casually racist because it helps his point or he didn't double check if his genious takedown on stereotypes actually reinforces them.
LadyAutumnYeah the way that it’s positioned, as though through image alone she is self evidently less dangerous than he is, is definitely islamophobic & racist.
I don’t know: it’s inherently ambiguous. How do you know which is the man & which is the woman? Maybe they’re the same person.
Are you possibly misgendering & being racist? 🤨
This meme is what the average American discourse is like
It’s likesomething that could be satirized in Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Add to that ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan who has already been sanctioned by the US back in February for the crime of issuing an arrest warrant for a war criminal.
miss_demeanourThis one pisses me off.
I fixed it.
lmao I wish this meme you made was even an exaggeration
ISIS are the good guys now.
We have always been at war with the UN Special Rapporteur.
War is Peace.
Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum - The peaceful Roman Empire.
Rojava is fighting ISIS, and to support them, NATO are fighting Rojava, because God forbid there’s a feminist state in the middle east.
McDropoutI mean ISIS and Al Qaeda didn’t attack Israel once. I wonder who funds them. :-)
I wish the left could have gotten its shit together last November.
77 million fucktards still voted against their best interests
And 75 million voted to stop it. If only 2.5 million more could have voted to stop it.
But that gEnOsiDe JoE thing really got 'em good.
gAlienLifeformSeems like your efforts would be better spent focusing on the dozen or so Democratic campaign consultants and politicians who convinced those 2.5 million to stay home. Unless you’re willing to give up on the whole democracy thing and just impose the leadership you think we need on voters like Lenin or something.
Unless you’re willing to give up on the whole democracy thing
What, by not voting? No. That would be incredibly stupid.
Establishment Democrats are currently fighting Zohram Mamdani.
Leftists know what is up. But keep going on about BLUE MAGA.
Leftists know what is up. But keep going on about BLUE MAGA.
Why did you say “Leftists know what is up” instead of “Leftists know what’s up”?
Also, I don’t know anyone who talks about BLUE MAGA except right-wing facebook people.

Don’t you mean the “LIE-bruls”? Democrats voted for him. If you want to claim Debbie Wasserman-Shulz as the heartbeat of the Democratic party, sure, knock yourself out.
Why did you say “Leftists know what is up” instead of “Leftists know what’s up”?
Do you know about contractions?
It should say “Don’t Disturb” it’s been “Do Not Disturb” for too long. It’s time we embrace the contraction.
Also, I don’t know anyone who talks about BLUE MAGA except right-wing facebook people.
It’s convenient that you dismiss anyone to your left as “right-wing facebook people.”
They did and they didn’t vote for genocide.
And just look what that protest vote did for those fucking morons. Now the USA is full mask-off fascist. Good job.
Always has been.
At least 75 million people disagree with that assessment.
No they endorse it.
So you have no plans to support the Democratic party at all, and would only consider a national third party in extremely specific circumstances. I’m assuming you’re a US voter (ha), but sometimes that’s not the case.
full mask-off vs mask on …
If their votes were that significant, your garbage party should have listened to them and stopped selling weapons for genocide. Hell, they could have placed conditions on weapons sales. But nope! Had to show those anti-genocide progressives who is boss. Of the pretend opposition party.
Didn’t they?
lol
