Israel’s government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted “in light of the war and the new front facing Syria” and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.

    Yea I’m sure the Syrian Revolution was all a ploy of the Rothschilds. Nothing to do with any kind of agency by the Syrian people wanting to overthrow a brutal totalitarian regime. Just CIA conspiracies everywhere pulling people’s strings with psyops. Tankie Fukuyama-ism, man. Quite a thing to behold.

      The names are there on the Wikipedia page I’ve link in black and white. You deciding that it’s a conspiracy theory simply because one name is that of a Rothschild, and another that of an ex CIA director, doesn’t change the facts (eg. That they are invested in the company responsible for the exploration and extraction of oil in the area. Similar to Cheney’s Haliburton during the Iraq campaign. This sort of thing is more common that you probably realize).

      As for how poor and hungry citizens might face up to the bullets and tanks of a brutal regime, this video describes some of how that might go (making clear that all changes of power need wealthy backing/arms):

      Your view of the world sounds quite idealic to me, I wish it were the case. I wish the people simply overthrew the dictator in a simple good vs bad conflict. I really wish the world was that way. I really do.

      The Syrian Revolution has fuck-all legitimately to do with Zionist colonialism in the Golan Heights. Netanyahu using it as an excuse is absolutely nothing but pure opportunistic bullshit.
