  Syria’s Post-mortem: Terror, Occupation, and Palestine Pepe Escobar   The NATO-Israeli cabal cheering on Damascus’s fall will get more than they bargained for. Power struggles and infighting among extremist militias and civil society, each backed by different regional and foreign actors who want a piece of the pie. The short headline defining the abrupt, swift end of Syria as we knew it would be: Eretz Israel meets new-Ottomanism. The subtitle? A win-win for the west, and a lethal blow against the Axis of Resistance. But to quote still pervasive American pop culture, perhaps  the owls are not what they seem . Let’s start with former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s surrender. Qatari diplomats, off the record, maintain that Assad tried to negotiate a transfer of power with the armed opposition that had launched a major military offensive in the days prior, starting with Aleppo, then swiftly headed southward toward Hama, Homs, aiming for Damascus.

Israel portrayed this as a principled humanitarian response, but in 2015, the Wall Street Journal reported that only a third of those treated by Israel were women and ...

  Trump's Second Term: Foreign Policy Eric Striker Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign revived his 2016 outsider crusade against the Washington’s military adventures. In his latest run, the president-elect struck a remarkably sober tone on the many conflicts that have erupted in the last few years — which Jewish think-tanks  calmly dismiss  as baseless vote-getting — though he provided scant details on how he would approach Ukraine and the Middle East. The realities of America’s current geopolitical predicament were muffled under his questionable mantra that “no new wars” were prosecuted when he was in office. Buffing Trump’s everything-to-everyone shtick were a series of former left-wing anti-war influencers, such as Jimmy Dore, Dave Smith, and Tulsi Gabbard, who have in recent years hitched themselves to the MAGA wagon, citing the movements supposed non-interventionism as their reason. Perhaps Trump’s most audacious deception was his campaign’s outreach to the Arab community, ...
