As always...

I live in germany, and the Israeli movings in Syria aren't "a top story" in several news. It's like: "we better not talk about this".

It's different outlets as well, you see. PBS doesn't have a material about the most recent attack, but pretty much every recent material they have is negative for Israel, two straight out discussing genocide. Which the Russians also attempt to commit against Ukrainians denying them their right for self--determination, my dear Russian friend.

Israel also bombed the Syrian Navy, sinking 15 docked vessels. In self defense, of course, because those ships would be used against them. /s

Also the Russian invasion was anything but swift!

I haven't been following the news. Weren't they fucking around in Lebanon? Why are they in Syria?

The Assad regime just got ousted, and Israel is taking advantage of the disorganisation in Syria to secure more Lebensraum.

It looks like Turkey and Israel came up with a plot to overrun Syria with insurgents and then start carving it up.

The instigator is different. Not trying to condone Israel, but the initial reason for invading is different.

Fuck both Russia and Israel.

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What do you believe Israel's reason is?

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 9 points 2 months ago

Who cares. They are killing anything in their sight. Fuck them.

It's also two different news agencies.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago

Feel free to find a western news agency covering Israeli invasion of Syria the same way they cover Russia.
