Netanyahu after a few days of war can't trust his soldiers anymore. They were stripped of their munition magazines during a visit. Meanwhile, President Assad in 2018 after years of a crazy war:
Hafiz Al Assad, shocked and in rage, after receiving Sadat at Damascus airport while en route to his historic trip to Jerusalem. Sadat asked him to come along, but Assad declined and subsequently severed diplomatic ties with Egypt. 1977.

Now tell us why did you have to wear the Hijab? I'm sure the freedom loving Salafis in this city wouldn't lock you up for not wearing it, right?
Such an E5wanji propaganda
You can only imagine what it feels like to listen to Christian chants in a nearly 1000-year-old church; Christians, Muslims, & others together.

Looking back at the first Syrian soldier to be martyred in the 2011’s conflict in 2011/3/23. What really struck me was that his name was هابيل Habil which is Abel in English. RIP 🕯️
As a part of the Arab culture to honour their guests, the Emir of Qatar honoured Lionel Messi by dressing him with the traditional bisht after Argentina's World Cup win on Sunday.
The Baths of Caracalla, are one of the greatest archeological complexes in the entire Roman imperial epoch. Inaugurated by Emperor Caracalla who was of Syrian-Libyan origin, and finished under Alexander Severus’ reign, the site is listed as a

world heritage site.
Discovering a historical site in Syria that you were unaware of before is akin to finding money in the pocket of your old pants!

Yeah, by occupying our country (including Liwa Inskenderuen), supporting radcial salafiz, stealing our oil, and using refugees as a bargaining card, among other things.

Sarout was NOT just an Islamist. He called ISIS & Al-Qaeda’s Nusra front his brothers and they fought together as one hand.
Also, comparing him to a (Iran-backed) PIJ martyr is crazy bc remind me where is PIJ headquartered? In the city that Sarout waged war against.
80 years ago, the colonial state of Lebanon was established on Syrian lands. There were no elections, nor pro-Lebanon popular uprisings in the areas given to Mount Leb, the majority of the inhabitants wanted to be part of Syria. Let that sink in.

Turkey's Erdogan seeking a meeting with Assad and Putin

A Syrian boomer joke: Put three persons from Aleppo in the same room; they will create a commodities market. Put three people from Damascus & they will form a political party.
Syrian Joke 🇸🇾
A Shami, a Halabi, and a Homsi, were stuck on an island, 6 km from land, the Shami swam 3, got tired and drowned. The Halabi swam 3, got tired and drowned. The Homsi swam 3, got tired and swam back to the island.
President Assad and his interest in history
In 2001, Assad gifted Pope John Paul II a statue of Emperor Philip the Arab as a souvenir of his visit to Damascus. He also talked about the 8 Syrian popes.

I'm a BA major & obsessed with Syrian financial success stories. Here's a big fat list of successful Syrians from all around the globe:
The Safras – basically a bunch of billionaire bankers, Joseph Safra was the richest person in Brazil with a NW of $22.8 billion.
Stumbled upon this 12 minutes video where leboz are getting pulled over by Syrian checkpoints.

Not sure what’s hard to understand here, he was born in what is today lebanon, but his ancestors could’ve been from modern day Syria. Millions of you are named after the Syrian saint Mar Maron, there are countless saints from present day Syria.
Most sources now claim Saint Luke was either Greek or Jewish. However, his DNA begs to differ. According to his DNA, Luke’s body was absolutely compatible with Syrian DNA. (Luke was born in Antioch).

And u just believe anything u read? Assad has never said anything like that, he said if the refugees were to return the sanctions had to be lifted, and those who support the terrorists in Syria — Turkey being the main supporter— had to knock it off.

According to this lovely good ol lady who claims to be his niece, Saint Charbel was originally from Sadad (ܣܕܕ) south of Homs in Syria 🇸🇾🇸🇾
