In 1099, powerful European Franks (Crusaders) occupied Muslim-majority Palestine. However, by 1186, they’re kicked out of Palestine by Kurd Sultan Salahuddin Ayubi.

In 2006, Israeli nukes could not save the Jewish army its first major military humiliation at the hands of nearly 1500 Hizbullah fighters carrying only guns and non-guided rockets.

It wasn’t all that long ago when if Israel wanted to eliminate an imaginary or potential threat, all it had to do is show a picture to its lackeys in the west and say the word ‘fetch’.

Some five years ago, it showed a picture of the Syrian president and gave the magic word ‘fetch’. Apart from causing severe hardships and damage to his country, Pres Assad is still there and is going nowhere. However, the west did not give up and are still trying to quench Israel’s thirst for Arab blood as evidenced by the statement made this morning by a buffoon on the Today Programme who wants to set up camps inside Syria for displaced Syrians by force, using, of course, the bogus excuse of humanitarian intervention.

Thank God that at last; a credible major power, or two, is not buying the benevolence of western interventions.

Despite all the gloom and doom, I still believe we are now witnessing the start of a new chapter where the will of the people of Greater Syria will eventually prevail over their enemies.
