Syrians in Maariyah, in the western Daraa countryside, staged a protest against Israel’s continued invasion of Syrian lands on Friday.

The Israeli army, which recently set up a base in the town, reportedly fired at the protesters, injuring one of them.

Images posted by local Syrian social media accounts showed protesters carrying banners, which read: “Free, free Syria, Israel get out.”

    No doubt they identify key decision makers, then blackmail and threaten them. They believe it’s their right to do this shit. It’s a national mental illness. Must be frustrating and dangerous for Israelis who don’t support this.

      Last I heard, Netanyahu had a 12% approval rating. There are a ton of Israelis that don’t support this shit.

      Maybe believing you are gods chosen people, isn’t the best starting point when building relations?
      As I see it, the Israeli experiment has failed, and now it’s the responsibility of the countries behind it, to step in and close it down, or at the very least set boundaries.

        As a layman, I think boundaries are the ticket, with the establishment of a Palestinian state and strict border enforcement (territorial lines, not restricting movement).

        “close it down”? Remove Israel? This is so absurd I do not know what to say.

          I do. Eliminate Netanyahu and force a full election of the Knesset. See where people stand. See what the people really want. If it’s fascism again so be it, but if it isn’t then there are some drastic strategic decisions to be made or reformed.
