I’m actually quite optimistic on the future of Jewish statehood and independence.

We’ve got smart, organized, very determined and cohesive people, and they have an amorphous disorganized angry mob, most of whom are miserable and hate their own lives.

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

Genocide? No. Scorched earth campaign? Yes.

A scorched earth campaign is of highly questionable legality and is the best way to describe what’s been happening there.

All the organizations who’ve called it genocide admitted to having to expand the definition to make it fit.

As such, there are plenty of things that have happened in the Gaza war that one could very plausibly challenge the legality of, but that doesn’t make those things genocide. There are things that could be a war crime but not genocide.

THAT BEING SAID, all of this has happened because Hamas and their supporters chose to illegally attempt a war of extermination against the Jewish population of the Levant and then run back and illegally embed themselves in their own civilian population and wage a strategy of trying to get as many of them killed as possible.

So ultimately, all of this is on them. They could have surrendered at any point but chose a strategy of deliberately getting their own civilians killed for propaganda purposes for the genocide THEYRE trying to commit against Jews.

This is literally the most illegal strategy anyone has ever adopted in human history but they’re allowed to do it for some reason.

@AArshham Thanks!

@25Flamma @0practicalmthod @GWHayduke97 1/5 of Israeli citizens are Arabs so if our idea is to wipe them out we’re off to a remarkably bad start.

That being said I am very uneasy about the current policy in Syria so I partly agree on that end

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

I will say this, while I’m very hesitant about this move, let’s not all go pretending that the new Syria is this neoliberal country it’s sold as being.

I do know some Syrian Sunnis on here who do genuinely hold neoliberal beliefs and want it to be a modern democracy with religious freedom, but one can’t help but notice they’re all diaspora.

We all witnessed uniformed syrian troops commit two October 7-style massacres against their minority communities last year, because they filmed themselves doing it enthusiastically.

As the only sovereign Levantine minority community with their own state, Jews have every valid reason to view this with concern. They might very well have just replaced their previous Nazi Arabs with Jihadist Arabs which isn’t necessarily an improvement.

So, I’m torn. Part of me would like to continue to pursue a diplomatic path with Syria, but part of me keeps thinking back to Jabotinskys “Iron Wall” thesis, which is as follows:

1: Arabs will never see Jewish statehood as legitimate

2: Arabs will always attempt to destroy Jewish statehood if they get the opportunity

3: Arabs believe, and always will believe, that one day they will get that opportunity, and thus

4: Any peace treaties or agreements will simply be them accepting the reality of Israeli military superiority, which they will always view as temporary.

As such, moves which further entrench Israeli military superiority will always be better than any diplomatic option.

And frankly whenever you talk to virtually any Arabs basically ever, I’ve found Jabotinsky to almost invariably be correct even a century later. Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians, it’s the same refrain “ONE DAY we’re going to get you yids”

Now, I would very much like to be proven wrong on this, but that’s on them to do so.

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

That’s uh… that’s quite the development

Not a fan of Al Sharaa at all but… is this really necessary?

Israeli long range radar detection is already extremely robust. What do they need one in Sweida for?

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

@kjgtcgj Well, nice to meet you too

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

I’ve noticed that out of all the Mizrachim, Syrian Jews have the most complicated and conflicted relationship with their former country.

Moroccan Jews still like Morocco. Iraqi Jews despise Iraq with a passion. Iranian Jews hate the IR but are diehard Iranian nationalists.

With Syrian Jews though it’s more complicated. They were the first Syrians to be persecuted by other Syrians for being the wrong kind of Syrian- but then LOTS of Syrians ended up being persecuted by other Syrians for being the wrong kind of Syrian.

So there’s really no point in being vindictive about it anymore.

On one hand Jews can understand the minority communities who found themselves on the side of the authoritarian state to protect themselves from Sunni religious and political domination.

But on the other hand we can understand the Sunnis perspective of then living under a dictatorship that distrusted them on a sectarian basis.

At some point in our history we have been in both of these situations.

That being said, I don’t know many Syrian Jews who have any interest in going back, even if some of them do still hold an affinity for the place.

2,000 years of Jewish life in Syria has ended, because Syrians wanted it to. One of countless ancient Jewish communities wiped out by their own neighbors over just a few decades.

I know Syrians who do truly wish they still had their Jewish community. They’d really come in handy right now. But that ship really has sailed, and we’d all be better served by moving on.

@JacobL1994_ Plural you, I've noticed a surge in Jewish sympathy for them since Sharaa took power.

@sharghzadeh Nah this guy is a stone cold volcel. Chad territory

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

I did notice that out of all Levantines, Jews were the angriest about the March Massacre of the Alawites last year.

There was no equivocation about “regime remnants”, it was clearly identified as sectarian genocide. The Israeli governments statement was the ONLY one, out of any country, that identified the victims and perpetrators and explicitly called it terrorism

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

@RyszardWuWei Alawites having to basically sell their souls to the security state for protection is dead on what happened with Jews in a lot of the communist bloc so I unfortunately find it very relatable

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

@BatiniFuturist I figured. Admittedly I don’t like legacy Ba’ath stuff but whatever

Hey guys much love to the Druze but uh… maybe a different salute would be a good idea lmao

@kuruuzuum They’re not though. They’re just Druze

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

@StarsBright_29 That was the salute the Assadists used and they carried it over.

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

@parmenidesfan I’ve liked Alawites for a while tbh

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

Love and hate aren’t the right words here.

I don’t hate them, I’m just disappointed and frustrated that they keep choosing belligerence when we could have all built a better Levant together.

Gaza could have been Arab Singapore. That’s what we all wanted them to be. But they just chose war over and over.

@spectralfrenzy I know I know I’m kidding

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

I give the disclaimer that I’m not an expert on this.

I’m interested in military aviation and counterterrorism which got me interested in Pakistan because a lot of that happens there.

During the course of doing so I’ve gotten to observe Pakistani young people as they attempt to navigate this new technology-driven culture.

Lots of them are doing just fine, but I also see many of them lost and despondent, adrift in a confusing new world where everything comforting and familiar has been disrupted.

From what I know about Jinnah, he wanted to create a national home for Muslims in South Asia to be able to meet the challenges of modernity on their own terms, filtered through their own cultural lens.

But that doesn’t seem to be happening for a lot of young people over there. It seems like in many cases, these disturbing online trends emanating from the west have ran them over like a freight train.

[Jacob L @JacobL1994_]

See this is why Pakistan is such an interesting country.

You’ve got a very conservative society where sometimes people marry their cousins in their village like it’s the 1800s, but they also use terms like “e-foid” and are terminally online.

On one hand they have a challenge of the country not being modern enough. Needing to modernize infrastructure, education, etc.

But the other hand there’s a challenge of being TOO modern.

Children from villages in Peshawar should not know who Andrew Tate is. They should not know about redpill blackpill hypergamy looksmaxxing, all these things are dangerous cognitohazards that obliterate traditional societies and healthy communities. South Asia in particular seems very vulnerable to these trends.

That’s the challenge- become modern enough to escape poverty but not so modern as to go completely insane from technological horrors beyond comprehension.

Good luck guys.

Trafalgar has disappeared from the national consciousness because the British are ashamed of martial prowess unless it is in service to a) someone else or b) a postwar abstract ideal like Democracy or Human Rights.
