A big thank you to David Macilwain for his ongoing commitment to the people of Syria and for the insight he shares in this article. Read the full article and more from David Macilwain here.
So now that the rabid dogs are on the loose, and all the leaders and followers who couldn’t or wouldn’t visit Damascus are rushing in for a slice of her cake, and Allah forbid – standing on the top of Mount Hermon gloating over the Zionists’ latest purchase, what is the way forward? Is such a way even possible, when those proselytisers for ‘democracy’ and ‘inclusiveness’ have just smashed to pieces all their shallow pretences?
Nothing can ever be the same now, even if they were to somehow stop the genocide in Gaza, because ‘Israel’ and its backers are determined it never will be. They have just succeeded in executing the fastest regime change operation in history without resistance and practically without criticism in the West – a monumental achievement that has “grasped victory from the jaws of defeat”. As ‘Israel’ faced its day of judgement from the people whose land it occupies and exploits, and having made itself a global pariah state with its unprecendented butchery and obliteration of life in Gaza, it seemed to many that the Zionist project was finished; it was only a question of how the end would come.
Yet there is light beyond this terrible dark tunnel we are plunged into, in the strength of the ongoing resistance and the possibility of truth. Never before has such a conspiracy of nations and ‘information’ networks succeeded in deceiving so many people into allowing and supporting the triumph of evil over justice and truth. At the same time there is incredible nonchalance and apparent lack of understanding of what has just occurred, seen in the context of the fourteen years of war since the launching of the ‘Arab Spring’.
Summarising what actually has occurred in the last two weeks and the last twenty years in Syria – which was always THE prime target of the ‘Arab Spring’ and the focus of neo-con plans to create the ‘Salafist Principality’ in Syria that we now have, a discussion with two veterans of the conflict gives excellent guidance, along with shocking revelations of the truth. Those who think that an unelected and unrepresentative ‘government’ formed from the chiefs of the fundamentalist group that controlled Idlib ‘with an Iron Fist’ will somehow change its spots, are living in cloud-cuckoo land. It is as likely as that ‘Israel’ would decide after all to give equal rights to the Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, give them free access to all parts of Palestine, and equal representation in a bi-lingual Knesset. The appearance of Saudi Sheik Muhaysini celebrating his entry into the Ummayad mosque the day after Jolani’s arrival surely sent a shiver down the spine of many Syrians.
