TERRORISTS LIBERATE TERRORISTS FROM OTHER TERRORISTS

WHAT JERUSALEM KNOWS AND FOGGY BOTTOM HAS YET TO LEARN IS THAT THE
MIDDLE EAST IS A BUNCH OF TRIBAL FACTIONS, WARLORDS AND GANGS
PRETENDING TO BE COUNTRIES, BUT ALL ARE SOME VERSION OF AL-JAWLANI
BOUNCING BETWEEN ISIS, AL QAEDA AND A NEW GOVERNING COALITION.
OPINION.

Daniel Greenfield | Israeli National News | 12-12-24

In a stunning win for freedom, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a Sunni
terrorist organization defeated the Assad regime and its Shiite
terrorist groups to take over Syria. HTS is led by Abu Mohammed
al-Jawlani, a Saudi former associate of the caliph of ISIS who has a
$10 million reward on his head from the U.S. while Assad was supported
by Hezbollah whose leaders had multi-million dollar rewards on their
heads until Israel killed them (but didn’t collect the money.)

Assad was backed by the Shiite terror state of Iran while HTS is
backed by the Sunni terror state of Turkey. Geopolitical experts say
that Sunni Islamists defeating Shiite Islamists to rule the pile of
rubble that’s left of Syria is the biggest win for human freedom
since the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt and parts of North Africa
(before being ousted from Egypt and some other parts of the region) in
the freedom phenomenon known as the Arab Spring.

The media broadcast scenes of Jihadists praising Allah for helping
them defeat the other Jihadists who also praise Allah (but not in the
right way) and liberating political prisoners to shortly replace them
with other political prisoners (assuming that they even bother taking
political prisoners or any kind of prisoners.) Talks are underway
between the terrorists of the former regime with the terrorists of the
current regime to see if they can work it out.

And maybe just focus on killing Christians, Jews and other infidels.

Some might suspect that a former ISIS associate tied to Al Qaeda (who
admittedly turned on his former group to lead another Jihadist
organization) taking over a country would be bad news. But they’re
clearly bad people who don’t realize that Al-Jawlani is a changed
man, an austere religious scholar who underwent a makeover courtesy of
Queer Eye for the Syrian Guy and now, in the words of the BBC, wears a
“more western style wardrobe”. At least if you count rocking
Zelensky’s military fatigue hand-me-downs as looking like a regular
western warlord.

The Biden administration has already made contact with the terrorist
organization led by a man on whose head is a $10 million reward to
offer to rebuild Syria just in time for the next civil war. Publicly,
the administration has already taken credit for helping defeat Assad
by insisting that the Israelis must stop attacking Hezbollah at once.
Had the Israelis listened, Assad would still be in power. But the
Biden administration was surely using reverse psychology and by
threatening Israel with an arms embargo was really getting the
Israelis to fight even harder.

Or at least that’s the story that National Security Advisor Jake
Sullivan is going with.

While the world (or at least the parts of it that completely forgot
about the Arab Spring) rejoices, the Israeli government which (for all
its failings) has more sense than the State Department or a headless
chicken, has begun bombing what’s left of Syria’s rocket factories
and chemical warfare plants that Secretary of State John Kerry
(despite promising Obama) somehow never got around to making sure that
Vladimir Putin would dismantle and put away in cold storage.

The Israelis are also expanding their presence in Mt. Hermon and
building their own security zone because they trust Syria’s new
terrorist masters as much as they trusted the old.

What Jerusalem knows and Foggy Bottom has yet to learn is that the
Middle East is a bunch of tribal factions, warlords and gangs
pretending to be countries, but despite the flags, anthems, UN
memberships, World Bank positions and invites to climate change
summits, are all some version of Al-Jawlani bouncing between ISIS, Al
Qaeda and a new governing coalition.

Over a thousand years of Islam comes down to some guy with a beard
uniting a few key families with whose backing he then seizes a bunch
of cities that used to belong to long lost great civilizations and
then his men settle down to some murdering, looting and raping while
thanking Allah for the privilege of a mission to kill, loot and rape
the world. Or die trying.

The stationary bandit theory isn’t some abstraction in the Middle
East: it’s everyday reality.

As we all should have learned in the last generation, every Arab
Muslim country is one inflationary spiral away from some guy with a
‘nom de guerre’ or ‘kunya’ riding into town on a pickup truck
with 300 fellow bandits and becoming the new government in Allah’s
name.

Georgetown idiots with PhDs then cheer as statues of the old dictator
are toppled as if Damascus, Cairo, Baghdad, Tripoli or Tunis were
Prague, Berlin or any city where democracy means more than ‘my tribe
has more guns than your tribe’. The old Pharaohs (not to mention
Caesars) would tear down each other’s monuments too. That didn’t
make old Tutankhamen a liberator or a democrat. At least not the kind
who is acceptable outside Chicago.

Assad heading off to shop at Moscow’s GUM for more luxury handbags
is no great loss and his replacement by other terrorists is no great
gain. At least not for us. Or likely for Syria’s Christians. Or
Israel. Or really anyone else except members of the new regime.

There’s no right side of history in the middle east and if the arc
bends anywhere, it’s the arc of a sword over a prone prisoner’s
neck. Islam is the driving force in the region and the driving force
of Islam is conquering and subjugating all Muslims and non-Muslims
under one caliphate. In the Ummah, all of history is one great game of
thrones to determine who will rule over all the rubble.

The complicated chess game between rival Jihadist groups and
nation-states is likely to end badly for everyone especially since
Syria was really a showdown between Iran, which is developing nuclear
weapons, and Turkey, which is a NATO member with a huge arsenal, and
there can only be one ultimate Islamic ruler in the apocalyptic
endgame scenario.

Terrorists replacing terrorists with more terrorists is only good news
for the new terrorists and for the media which gets to breathlessly
cover another foreign conflict between two groups of butchers who
would behead everyone at CNN at their first sight of a DEI LGBTQ+
poster.

It’s also good news for humanitarian groups which have spent over a
year lying about a famine in Gaza and after exhausting donor interest
with AI generated photos of sad Muslim kids in Hamasville can now move
on to relabeling those same photos as hungry kids in Syria.

Media baron William Randolph Hearst reportedly once bragged, “You
furnish the pictures. I’ll furnish the war.” In the Muslim world,
the Taliban, Houthis, Hamas and their comrades supply the war, the
media supplies the pictures and taxpayers supply more money than they
can count.

After sending $2 billion to Afghanistan after the Taliban took over,
the Biden administration will be rushing money to Syria until the very
moment the checkbooks are pried out of their hands.

It would be tempting to think that Syria is over, but in tribal
cultures nothing is ever really over. Each conflict is based on past
vendettas and generates new ones. The conflicts follow demographics
and a complex mix of clan loyalties and factions whose shifts change
the war. A new war is just a matter of the old coalition coming apart
and forming new ones. If you doubt that, consider the speed with which
the Jihadists took Kabul and Damascus. The Taliban and HTS are just
groups of gangs whose allegiances can be bought and sold for the right
price.

But the same proved to be true of the Afghan, Iraqi and Syrian armies.
And many others.

Syria did not fall. Like Afghanistan and Iraq, it never really
existed. We spend a lot of time and money propping up fictions because
we want the rest of the world to be just like us. It’s not.

And it may never be.

Instead of hoping to civilize savages, we would be better off standing
with civilized allies. The more we go on searching for progress in the
Muslim world, the more we find that it’s terrorists all the way
down.
