By stealing Syria’s Golan Heights, rich in water, oil and occupied illegally since 1967.
In Syria we have water and electricity cuts because we could barely provide for ourselves and our neighbors, meanwhile these colonizers boast about the resources stolen from us and have money to make propaganda out of it too.
Syria is known for being self sufficient and a strong producer of basic goods, food and medicine, even despite occupation and sanctions. If left alone it would thrive even more but sadly that’s not the case.
Not only stealing the water but building ski resorts there too lol. The arrogance
“The Golan is thought to provide around one-third of Israel's fresh water supply. Water from the Golan travels to the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River.”

The israeli supreme court will rule now on the expulsion of Palestinians living in the Jerusalem neighborhood of #SheikhJarrah
This issue is extremely simple to understand. Palestinians displaced by the first war in 1948, went to live in this neighborhood. Now israel wants to displace them again to make way for Jewish settlers to take their homes. This is not a bug it's a feature of Zionism.

Breaking: US given permission to appeal UK’s decision not to extradite Julian #Assange
in January, Judge Baraitser had decided not to extradite Assange to the US based on health grounds, as this would increase the risk of suicide. At the same time, she agreed with all the political charges in the indictment, which is v bad for journalism.

Full summary of the #Assange case:

.@PressTV’s website has been seized by the US government. Look at these gangsters. This is America’s so called “freedom of speech” and “democracy”. The United States is a criminal org. They’re scared of anti-imperialist and pro-Palestinian outlets so they shut them down. Cowards.
Apparently my show and those of my colleagues are an “unusual and extraordinary threat”. Lol. The United States’ attempts to silence the resistance axis are so preposterous.

Israel is bombing Syria's capital Damascus right now, violating Lebanese airspace to do it; Syrian air defence systems are responding. This is such a common occurrence (virtually every week) the media can't be bothered to mention it half the time.
The israelis and their media lapdogs think that if they keep screaming it's "Hezbollah and Iranian targets!" then that suddenly makes it okay for them to bomb anyone they like. This is just propaganda by oppressors and colonizers. Their goal is to keep Syria unstable.
By their own admissions, the israelis have bombed Syria hundreds of times in the last years since the war began in 2011. Syria supports Palestine and the Axis of Resistance. They are illegally occupying the Golan Heights and punishing Syria by keeping it in chaos from the South.

WATCH: Iran Responds to Israeli Attack on Natanz Nuclear Facility

Image
The centrifuges damaged by israel were the older, first generation IR-1s. They've been replaced by the newer IR-6 generation. Iran also announced it will add another 1000 centrifuges to the Natanz facility and successfully enriched uranium to 60%.
Israel is a reckless, unhinged terrorist entity that thinks blowing up nuclear facilities and killing scientists is acceptable. Imagine if Iran did that to them. We'd never hear the end of it.
