Syrians in Maariyah, in the western Daraa countryside, staged a protest against Israel’s continued invasion of Syrian lands on Friday.
The Israeli army, which recently set up a base in the town, reportedly fired at the protesters, injuring one of them.
Images posted by local Syrian social media accounts showed protesters carrying banners, which read: “Free, free Syria, Israel get out.”

Why are there still countries supporting Israel?
No doubt they identify key decision makers, then blackmail and threaten them. They believe it’s their right to do this shit. It’s a national mental illness. Must be frustrating and dangerous for Israelis who don’t support this.
Maybe believing you are gods chosen people, isn’t the best starting point when building relations?
As I see it, the Israeli experiment has failed, and now it’s the responsibility of the countries behind it, to step in and close it down, or at the very least set boundaries.
America believes this will bring back their god, it hasn't failed until they say it has.
They will never say it failed because that’s like saying their god failed. Which is impossible. He works in mysterious ways incomprehensible to humans. He might make Israel fail for a hundred years because he likes the memes then just be like wham my son who is also me is back in the holy land.
“close it down”? Remove Israel? This is so absurd I do not know what to say.
I do. Eliminate Netanyahu and force a full election of the Knesset. See where people stand. See what the people really want. If it’s fascism again so be it, but if it isn’t then there are some drastic strategic decisions to be made or reformed.
Yeah. There is plenty of fascist nations and failed empires that got removed or completely revamped in history.
Remove the IDF and government to prisons, where war criminals belong, create a new state that is not based on any ethnic supremacy, but equal rights for everyone. Give back the stolen land to its rightful owners, as well as compensate the victims of crimes properly.
Jews, Christians and Muslims used to life together quite well in Palestine before the Zionists came. The state of Israel is the greatest danger to the safety of Jewish people in the region and the world, as all fascist nations are ultimately the greatest danger to their own people or people they claim as their own.
As a layman, I think boundaries are the ticket, with the establishment of a Palestinian state and strict border enforcement (territorial lines, not restricting movement).
No restricted movement, like before Israel and Egypt closed the borders because of too much terrorism?
Last I heard, Netanyahu had a 12% approval rating. There are a ton of Israelis that don’t support this shit.
Don’t get confused. The “anti-bibi” camp isn’t anti Zionist. They might think he is a corrupt leader but they see nothing wrong with the war, the death-toll or the occupation. These subjects have a much higher approval rating.
Interesting. I hope he hangs.
Bullshit, they voted for him, and he is a well known hardliner.
Yeah approval rating never changes from election day to when they make themselves dictators. Everyone knows that. Look it up.
I’m not saying he didn’t lose popularity, but that it doesn’t make any difference. They got what they voted for.
His approval got quite high again, when they invaded Lebanon. No government since the assassination of Yitzak Rabin by a Likud fanatic ever stopped the expansion of settlements. Unfortunately there is only a small minority in Israel that is fundamentally opposed to stealing Palestinian land and murdering Palestinians. These people demonstrate and take action bravely, and often get beaten up, abused, face death threats and other attacks by the Israeli government and the mainstream society.
Because they are corrupt.
Time to stop the Israeli social experiment, or whatever the fuck it was that they tried to do.
You spelled ‘cancer’ wrong
Time to stop the Israeli white colonialist land theft - FTFY.
Why are we sending these assholes weapons instead of glassing them?
Conflicts generate defense contracts. That’s why we get to watch.
