THE ZIONIST EMIRATES ARE STARTING TO PLAY IN SYRIA, SO REVOLUTIONARIES BEWARE

Mon 30 December 2024:

Public squares across Syria have been filled with people raising the green flag of independence, from the Umayyad Mosque Square in Damascus to Daraa in the south, Aleppo, Hama and Homs in the north and Latakia on the coast. The Syrians have rejoiced in the success of their revolution against the bloodthirsty tyrant Bashar Al-Assad, and the fall of the fascist regime that has oppressed them for 54 years.

This popular outpouring of joy, of course, has scared tyrannical rulers in other Arab countries who are cut from the same cloth as Assad; they fear that the flood will spill over into their land and that they too will lose their thrones. They treat the people as if they are nothing but slaves who have no right to participate in government or even express an opinion or advise them in accordance with the Qur’anic verse, “Consult them in affairs”. Instead, if anyone dares to express any objections or show displeasure at how their country is ruled, they end up in prisons very similar to those run by the Assad regime in Syria.

The Arab tyrants fear the success of the Syrian revolution not least because it has an Islamic aspect. They hate “Islamists” and, like the West, call Muslims who want Islam to have a say in how their societies are run, “terrorists”. They work using all the means at their disposal, including wealth, weapons and media, to prevent Islamist movements or individuals from ruling any Arab country. With the fall of the butcher Bashar, whom they supported until the last moment before his humiliating flight, their thrones shook under their feet.

The centre of the counter-revolutions established in the UAE — the Zionist Emirates — is still in place.

The tyrants have thus decided to revive the counter-revolutions that they backed against the Arab Spring in 2011 in Egypt, Yemen and Libya. However, they quite possibly have not given due thought to the fact that what worked for them in 2011 will no longer work in 2024, and that the past 13 years were enough to increase the awareness of the people and their understanding of the great conspiracy plotted behind closed doors against the struggles for freedom, dignity and justice.

All of the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions have faced challenges that led to their decline. The most dangerous of these remains the deep state’s cooperation with the remnants of the ousted regimes, especially in the security services and countries that recruited them to do the dirty work against their own people.

Hence, they told a group of Syrian followers of the ousted Assad regime to gather in Umayyad Square — there were no more than 250 of them — to demand a secular state. They did not raise the Syrian flag. These are the same people who took to the streets in support of the butcher Bashar and demanded the extermination of the revolutionaries. They praised him for dropping barrel bombs on the heads of their Syrian brothers and sisters.

Secularism in Syria during the rule of the Assad family was a domesticated ideology which did not allow even a hint of criticism of the regime for decades. It was an ideology that linked intelligence officers, artists and intellectuals, and legitimised the demonisation of large groups of Syrian society, not just the Islamists. The leading advocates of what is known as authoritarian secularism, or sometimes called secular jihadism, did not write a single article or utter a single word against the regime. They were not only hostile to Islamists; their hostility also extended to the democrats, who defend the priority of political change, public freedoms and free elections.

The secularists in Syria have a shameful record.

What I fear most is that the remnants of the regime, with their hateful ideology, will be a false witness to the present just as they were a false witness to the recent past.

The new leadership in Syria should, therefore, deliver real transitional justice quickly and introduce a genuine, non-arbitrary political isolation law so that the supporters of barrel bombs in Syria cannot return to leading demonstrations demanding democracy, as they once demanded such murderous bombings.

As soon as the Assad regime fell, some of those outside Syria affected by its fall began trying to sow discord among the people so that they might take revenge for the regime’s crimes, turning the joy of a historic victory into a civil war along sectarian and ethnic lines. Although the first few days after the fall of the regime passed relatively peacefully, some malicious voices were heard. Known for their suspicious loyalties to Syria’s enemies they began to play the sectarian card, spread rumours and fabricate stories made up in their sick imaginations. They wanted not only to spoil the celebratory atmosphere, but also to confuse the situation and draw attention to an alleged internal conflict. Such blatant incitement is intended to create the environment for the break-up of Syria into sectarian and ethnic states that the region’s enemies dream about.

The revolutionaries need to keep their wits about them and be aware that the Zionists, especially those from the UAE, are starting to play in Syria. Conspiracies are being plotted, at home and abroad to destroy Syria. May God protect Syria and its people.
