Before the formation of the Jews state the socialist party had said that It was the creation of another capitalist state, as well the formation of Palestine was the creation of another capitalist state, and that nationalism was going to create hates among them and among the Arab world, and that Israel was not a safe heaven for the Hebrew and it was going to increase anti-semitism.
Others groups were raising the flag of Nationalism and the so called national liberation, hates among Palestinian and hebrews, and it has been proven that all of them were mistaken, and all the conspiracionist theories have failed too,
Israel is just a capatult of the USA and some Western powers, it is not the opposite way, that Israel controlled the USA, and the Jews controlled the world and the banks, it is just a capitalist state like any other capitalist nation divided between proletarian and bourgeois, where the ruling class exploit the workers in order to extract surplus value from their labor, and that the Palestinian are also exploited by their own ruling class and it is also divided between workers and capitalists
The analysis made by Karl Marx on the Jewish Question has proven to be totally correct, and the question is also applicable to christians, muslim, and buddhists and other religious faith. Nationalism is a wrong conception
Peace in Palestine, short but precise
It must be analyzed carefully
What Russia fears in Syrian conflict. They are also part of the problem
Israel’s war in Syria continues:
“Israel’s military says it carried out 480 attacks on Syria in the past 48 hours, destroying 15 naval vessels, anti-aircraft batteries and weapons production sites in several cities.”
What they are trying to do of course is to ensure that the Syrian state, whoever controls it, is weakened.
As in inter-state relations night is right, Israel wants to weaken Syria so that it has less weight in diplomatic negotiations as well as less ability to defend itself, another Lebanon.
There are many news sources in Latin America who have indicated the same things, that Israel wants to weaken completely the Syrian state and destroy all future resistance, and they want to take more lands and more territories.
Now they are looking for Weapons of Mass destruction like the USA in Iraq, and Israel is the only state in the Middle East who has atomic bombs and ultra modern millitary equipments supplied by the USA.
More than 310 attacks have been carried by Israel after the rebel took Syria
This is going to be like the time of the Buccaneers and the Filibusters, when the pirates took an island they destroyed everything and they splitted everything among themselves

It is well planned move carried by the USA, NATO and Israel to weaken and destroy all oppositions in the Middle East, and to weaken Iran and Russia to take over all the natural resources of the region and to give a final blow to Iran who is the biggest opposition and competition with Israel.
Biden is leaving a very hot potato to Trump in the Middle East and Europe, he must follow the rules of capital and to continue with the same plans, the pretext of taking the hostage back to Israel is already gone, and according to some left-wingers groups they knew that they were going to be attacked by Hamas
There´s nothing like war to bring out the hypocrisy and double standards of the politicians
Israel has just grabbed a chunk of Syria about twice the size of Gaza and has continued bombing the country after the Assad regime has fallen.
Yet far from Israel being condemned by the West as Russia was condemned for its invasion of Ukraine, the regime continues to receive military support

The US government and some of its allied are saying that Russia has given exile to a brutal dictator but they have not mentioned their own dictators who also received exile . This is a small list of their own dictators until 1990 :
https://www.rrojasdatabank.info/dictatrs.htm
(Data up to 1990)
The United States and its Friendly DictatorsMany of the world’s most repressive dictators have been friends of America. Tyrants, torturers, killers, and sundry dictators and corrupt puppet-presidents have been aided, supported, and rewarded handsomely for their loyalty to US interests. Traditional dictators seize control through force, while constitutional dictators hold office through voting fraud or severely restricted elections, and are frequently puppets and apologists for the military juntas which control the ballot boxes. In any case, none have been democratically elected by the majority of their people in fair and open elections.
They are democratic America’s undemocratic allies. They may rise to power through bloody ClA-backed coups and rule by terror and torture. Their troops may receive training or advice from the CIA and other US agencies. US military aid and weapons sales often strengthen their armies and guarantee their hold on power. Unwavering “anti-communism” and a willingness to provide unhampered access for American business interests to exploit their countries’ natural resources and cheap labor are the excuses for their repression, and the primary reason the US government supports them. They may be linked internationalIy to extreme right-wing groups such as the World Anti-Communist League, and some have had strong Nazi affiliations and have offered sanctuary to WWll Nazi war criminals.
They usually grow rich, while their countries’ economies deteriorate and the majority of their people live in poverty. US tax dollars and US-backed loans have made billionaires of some, while others are international drug dealers who also collect CIA paychecks. Rarely are they called to account for their crimes. And rarely still, is the US government held responsible for supporting and protecting some of the worst human rights violators in the world.
Came across this quite interesting post on X (Twitter) by some geezer called
Arnaud Bertrand:“What’s happening Syria is probably the most incoherent geopolitical event I’ve come across, and the more you look into it, the more confusing it gets.
I mean, just look at this list:
– First of all, the speed of Assad’s collapse still makes very little sense: after successfully holding out against multiple enemies for 13 years with Russian and Iranian backing in a brutal civil war, his regime suddenly crumbled in just 11 days with almost no bloodshed.
– The “liberators” of Syria being celebrated by the West are Islamist groups on their own official terrorist lists. The country’s new leader, Al-Julani, still has a $10 million bounty on his head as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” for founding the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda.
– Biden called this “a historic opportunity for the long-suffering people of Syria to build a better future” while his administration continues to occupy a third of Syria, control its oil fields, maintain crippling sanctions, and bomb its territory… thereby obviously very much compromising this better future.
– Assad’s Prime Minister immediately agreed to work with the rebels and they accepted him – despite being mortal enemies in a brutal 13-year civil war.
– Al-Julani, after years of orchestrating suicide bombings and sectarian massacres against civilians, is now suddenly positioning himself as “diversity friendly”.
– Russia, despite being in an alliance with Syria dating back to the Soviet era, billions invested in protecting Assad, and their only Mediterranean naval base in Tartus, essentially shrugged it all and let their ally fall.
– Syria’s new leaders remain bizarrely silent about Israel invading their territory and the U.S. bombing and occupying their country. They’ve said nothing about their strategic assets – including the entire navy and air force – being destroyed in U.S. and Israeli air raids.
– The U.S. maintains its occupation of a third of Syria (including most oil fields), claiming it’s necessary to “ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS” – despite Trump declaring in 2019 (and the U.S. repeatedly confirming since) that “we have defeated ISIS in Syria”. Western media largely ignore this ongoing occupation while celebrating Syria’s “liberation”.
– Hamas, while in the middle of a war with Israel, took time to congratulate the Syrian rebels – even though Assad was their (and Iran’s) longtime ally and Syria’s fall significantly weakens their own strategic position.
– The U.S. celebrates the liberation of Syrian prisoners while operating its own concentration camps in the country (https://newyorker.com/magazine/2024/03/18/the-open-air-prison-for-isis-supporters-and-victims) holding tens of thousands indefinitely without trial – half of them children – but that apparently doesn’t count as oppression.
– Türkiye is fighting against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with apparent U.S. approval, while the SDF was fighting Assad (which the U.S. wanted) – meaning U.S.-backed forces are effectively fighting other U.S.-backed forces.
– Iran, normally eager to defend its regional interests, suddenly abandoned billions in investments and a crucial strategic ally in their “Axis of Resistance”, evacuating their personnel and citizens within hours.Truly one of the strangest chapters in modern geopolitical history. Every possible explanation contains its own contradictions, and most players are acting against their own stated principles and interests.
At this stage it looks like the simplest explanation might go something like this: the U.S. welcomes the fall of a longtime opponent; neighboring powers like Israel and Türkiye see an opportunity for territorial gain; rebel leaders seem willing to accept loss of sovereignty and territory in exchange for domestic control over a diminished Syria; Russia and Iran chose to cut their losses given other regional priorities; and smaller players like Hamas are scrambling to adapt. Still, the unprecedented speed and coordination of these events suggests we’re missing some crucial pieces of this very strange puzzle.”

That situation was also explained by the Historian Gerald Horne
There is one piece of the puzzle that they have not mentioned but it was mentioned by Adam Buick:
That was quick. This week hasn’t been a good one for dictators. In South Korea a would-be dictator was forced to back down by parliamentary and popular resistance. In Syria a decades long brutal dictatorship collapsed within 10 days.
Both illustrate that even under capitalism a determined majority will get its way in the end. No government can maintain its rule in the face of widespread majority resistance. Those who think that a capitalist government would be able to establish and maintain for any length of time a dictatorship in face of the democratically-expressed majority will for socialism should take note.
In the words of Victor Hugo, “No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come”.

Christians in Syria
I have read that under the new situation in Syria Christians are having some difficulties. Syria was the last secular state in that area, and Christians have existed in Syria since the first century. Paul was not a jew,( in the traditional sense ) he was a Syrian converted to Judaism ( proselyte ) and he had Roman citizenship
No wonder, workers are so confused about the concept of socialism/communism. A so called communist group defending the so called democratically elected government of Syria, and a religious fanatic resistance. Al Assad was a brutal dictatorship who left Syria with billions of dollars and he is living like a king in Russia while peoples are living in poverty. The same situation is taking place with some groups in Latin America supporting the government and the leadership of Iran
