In what seems like out of nowhere, years of stalemate between
the Syrian government and the terrorists known by mainstream media channels and
Western governments as the “Syrian opposition” was broken by a massive push on
the part of terrorist forces toward Aleppo. After capturing numerous areas
surrounding the city, Aleppo itself was overrun.
It seemed like no one saw the terrorist onslaught coming
and, when they did, it doesn’t appear that anyone – Syria, Hezbollah, Iranian-backed
militias, or Russian forces – could stop them. The terrorists took only hours
to capture what it took Syrian forces years to liberate.
Now, with the city of Aleppo once again teeming with the
extremists of ISIS, Al-Nusra Front, and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, these same terrorists
are now knocking loudly on the doors of Damascus and Homs as well. Indeed, the Syrian
government has not found itself in such dire straits since the beginning of the
conflict in 2011. Once again, Western governments and mainstream media outlets
are discussing the potential “fall of Assad” almost as if the “fall” is a
foregone conclusion.
If Assad does fall, it will be a massive boon to Israel
which has long desired to break the “Shiite Crescent,” the land bridge between
Iran and Lebanon that runs through Iraq and Syria, allowing Iran to ship equipment
and personnel back and forth to the Israeli border. It will also have succeeded
in removing a government unwilling to cooperate with its projects or look the
other way in regards to its war on the Palestinian people and its desires for a
“Greater Israel.” In addition, a neighbor of petty, squabbling micro states of
extremists has long been the desire of the Israeli government since weak
extremists, to Israel, is more palatable than a strong secular one.
