It's no secret that Israel's support for al-Qaeda-affiliated groups in Syria is a controversial topic, but let's be clear: the UN, Israeli and American press, and even Israeli officials have acknowledged their involvement. Thread 🧵

Since the CIA-backed regime-change war in Syria began in 2011, it was obvious that Israel sided with its American ally. But the full extent of Israeli support for the so-called "rebels" in Syria—who were largely takfiri terrorists—didn't come to light until 2014. 1/

British singer Gordon Sumner, widely recognized as Sting, has recently parted ways with his Tuscan wine estate, Tenuta il Palagio, selling it to San Tomaso S.R.L., a firm owned by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his spouse, Olena Zelenska.

The transaction is rumoured to be valued at approximately €75 million!

Originally acquired in 1997 by Sting and his wife, film producer Trudie Styler, the historic 16th-century villa was in a state of disrepair. However, over the years, they successfully restored both the estate and its once-neglected vineyards.

According to records from the Italian land registry, the sale of the Tuscan winery took place in June 2024, with San Tommaso SRL now at the helm. While the precise sale amount remains undisclosed, estimates suggest it hovers around €75 million.

According to Italy's land registry, Tenuta il Palagio acquired Zelensky's company on June 28, just two weeks after he attended the G7 summit in Italy. At this summit, European leaders reached an agreement to provide Ukraine with $50 billion, funded by frozen Russian assets, to support the nation’s efforts in the ongoing conflict.

It is unclear what plans the new owner has for the winery. According to Ukrainian media, it's no secret that Volodymyr Zelensky likes red wine. Rock Star Sting Sells His Wine Estate to Zelensky

Dear American friends, the US forces are in Syria to protect the interests of the tiny elites in Washington and not to fight terrorism as your officials claim.

They're in the Middle East to destabilize the region and sell weapons to the conflicting parties. Some even say they are there for the sake of Israel.

The people in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran are not your enemies. Your enemies are psychopaths like Lindsey Graham and his friends in the military-industrial complex who are pushing for war with Iran and starting WWIII with Russia. The CIA waged one of its costliest covert operations to train and arm radical insurgents in Syria. The result was the emergence of ISIS and al-Nusra Front.

This recent photo summarizes the "Syrian Revolution"

American officers sitting in the middle surrounded by Syrian mercenaries who call themselves "rebels" fighting against the "Assad dictatorship".

These mercenaries were hired by the CIA and the Pentagon in al-Tanf border crossing to block Syria's main trade route with Jordan and Iraq, establish a training camp for the ISIS hoards, and then send them on suicide missions against the Syrian Army and allied forces in the deserts.

This is the true face of the American empire. symonitor.com/%D8%B5%D9%88%D…

A former CIA officer called my work on Ukraine "propaganda"!

I'm not going to engage in personal discussion because only small minds discuss people. Instead, I'm going to explain why Ukraine can't win the war against Russia, especially after the onslaught against Gaza.
A fight over funding for foreign wars is pitting President Biden's commitment to sending aid to both Ukraine and Israel against an increasingly anti-war Republican cohort that wishes to support just Israel.

I'm posting this two-segment video to set the record straight; there is credible information that indicates Israel, with the backing of the United States, intends to assassinate Syria's President Bashar al-Assad if Hezbollah opens a wide front from southern Lebanon.

To put this in proper context; since 2011, the U.S. waged a secret covert operation in Syria to topple Assad and install a friendly government in Israel.

To achieve this goal, the U.S. and its regional allies spent tens of billions in arming and training multinational takfiri terrorist groups. According to the New York Times, the secret program (Timber Sycamore) was one of the most expensive CIA covert operations in the history of the agency.

However, Syria emerged victorious and the terror groups were mostly destroyed with the help of Iran, Russia, and Hezbollah.

While President Trump ended the covert operation in 2017, the Pentagon sent troops to the Eastern shore of the Euphrates to occupy the oil and gas fields and hence, disallow the Syrian government from using the revenues of the oil to reconstruct the war-torn country.

The pro-Syria alliance believes the CIA's attempt to remove Assad was urged by Israel because a pro-Israeli government in Damascus means the isolation of Hezbollah and eventually the Palestinian militant groups fighting against Israel.

With the escalation of the conflict in Palestine and the carpet bombing of Gaza, it is believed that Hezbollah has mobilized its elite forces and kept 1/3 of the Israeli army busy on the northern front by firing ATGMs and rockets at the Israeli forces.

But if Israel wages a full-scale invasion of Gaza, it is believed that Hezbollah will intervene and wage a ground offensive on the settlements in northern Israel.

If Hezbollah's offensive materializes, my information indicates that Israel will bomb Damascus and try to kill Assad.

Will Israel dare to do that? I believe with the current mentality governing Tel Aviv, everything is possible.

NOTE: the above text is an analysis based on my personal knowledge and different sources. It is not wishful thinking or scaremongering. It is simply a political analysis based on the available information to me.
The first guest is @DanielLMcAdams on Syriana Analysis and the second speaker is the former British diplomat and MI6 agent Alastair Crooke on the New Rules channel.

The signals coming from Iran, Syria and Lebanon indicate that, if Israel tries to occupy Gaza, there is a decision to open all fronts against Israel which practically means regional war and direct American intervention.

Bloody days are ahead in West Asia❗️ The goal is the displacement of all Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt.

Israel conducted hundreds of air strikes against Syria in the past decade, including on Damascus and Aleppo International Airports. Israeli officials confessed that they have supported al-Qaeda terrorists against the Syrian Army. Where was your outrage, back then? Israel has been regularly supplying "Syrian rebels", aka Islamist insurgents, including the al-Nusra Front near its border with cash as well as food, fuel and medical supplies for years.

I received many questions about the Israeli attacks on Syria and "why isn't Syria responding?"

I'll try to answer some of your questions in this thread based on my humble journalistic experience 🧵 Israel conducts regular aerial spying operations near the borders of Syria, especially in the coastal line. Israel spies for many days, sometimes for a week or two before conducting an air strike. 1/

Thread 🧵 On a day like today 20 years ago, and near the Syrian seat where I was sitting in the UNSC, the then US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, staged a scene of manipulation and lies to justify the US invasion of Iraq on the pretext that it possesses weapons of mass destruction.
