See below for the other one. Many of them won't care if Syria is turned into Gaza and hundreds of thousands of Sunnis are killed. Their racism is so blatant.
It’s too early to draw any conclusions, but it looks like Jordan may have launched these strikes against alleged targets in Syria to deflect attention from its own intelligence failure regarding the ISIS terrorist attack, which was carried out by Jordanians in the south of the country, far from Syria.
Massacre of civilians committed by Jordanian Air Force in #Daraa countryside is now appearing in official Damascus media.
The Jordanian Army officialy claimed the retaliatory strikes were carried out in "collaboration" with the Syrian Government.
A family home was destroyed with at least 5 children & women killed.
Answers are needed.

I just saw photos of the children killed in Jordanian airstrikes in southern Syria’s Daraa countryside.
My heart is shattered. I can’t bring myself to share them. This is heartbreaking beyond words. 💔

Tom Barrack going nuclear on Hijri.
Known for his outspokenness, he's the first US official at this level to acknowledge Hijri's links to the international Captagon trafficking.
Hijri-held #Suwayda was bombed by Jordan in May & airstrikes targeted both manufacturing & storage facilities.
This last area outside Damascus' control, protected by Israel & still hosting a significant number of former Regime elements, is a key hub for smuggling Captagon into Jordan & subsequently to the Gulf.
Since July 2025, these cartels launched 100s of Captagon-loaded balloons across the Jordanian border, making it the main smuggling methods - much safer than sending smugglers across the border like under Assad.
One detail often overlooked: Hijri also collaborates with Hezbollah-linked cartels in Lebanon, from which he obtains some supplies, such as chemical precursors & guided balloons.
U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack on Syria:
The Druze can arm themselves with the money that they're making from the Captagon trade. This Captagon is something, and it's like manufacturing meth.
So Syria has been very cautious. It knows that if it bites on one of these incursions, the fire is going to explode.
So it's been very patient in allowing Israel to protect its "buffer zone" by coming across and having the Druze conduct themselves inappropriately.
To the extent that this Sheikh is intimating to people that he has the U.S. backing, it's absolutely wrong.

Small rant about Syria: we need a societal and cultural revolution.
When someone complains about the government and the state of the country, ask them:
- How much do they spend on smoking?
- What time do they wake up?
- Do they pay bribes?
- Do they stop for pedestrians?
- Do they litter?
Then we can talk.
Israel has a long history of killing and assaulting innocent Palestinians with Down syndrome.
Today, they killed a Syrian man with Down syndrome.
Their murderous and criminal occupation of southern Syria must be stopped before it turns into another West Bank or Gaza.

Really like this statement from @AbdulElSayed regarding Syria.
It might seem like a pretty uncontroversial thing to say — supporting the Syrian people — but we've seen so much Assad apologism from the left in recent years that it's worth pointing out.
Abdul El-Sayed on Syria:
We need to make sure that there are no sanctions, that people in Syria can build out their future as any and all people deserve, that they can do that together in peace, and then even join the community of nations.
I want to make sure that any of the barriers to progress because of the last regime are taken out, so that this leadership has the opportunity to build out democratic institutions without the interference of people like Israel and other countries in the region, and to make sure that they have the best shot at peace, prosperity, and freedom. xitter.cf/AJSyriaNowN/status/211…

The Syrian Justice Ministry sentenced a dismissed judge to eight years in prison, fined him 36 million new Syrian pounds (about $252,000) and stripped him of his civil rights for bribery and influence peddling, refusing leniency over the damage to the judiciary's standing.
It is the second such conviction this month, after the same court jailed another dismissed judge for five years and a lawyer for two and a half years for forgery.
Amazing news! There will soon be flights between Damascus and Aleppo in both directions, with one-way fares starting at SYP 5,900. That’s only around $40!
For context, I’d estimate a taxi ride between the two cities to cost around $200.
It's not impossible that Israel could start a new war against Syria through its Druze proxies ahead of Israeli elections in an attempt to postpone them.
Druze militias could launch an offensive & when Syria responds, Israel could launch airstrikes in support of the “poor Druze.”
🚨🇸🇾🇮🇱 The Syrian gov fears that Druze armed groups in the southern province of Sweida could launch an offensive against Syrian gov forces in the coming days, with Israel supporting the operation, a senior Syrian government official told @Jerusalem_Post

Another attempt by AIPAC-funded politician to undermine Syria’s stability. Not only that, but he’s partnering with obscure groups that never condemned Assad regime’s crimes and appear to have been created only in response to its fall — a development they still lament to this day.
Reports of violence and persecution against religious and ethnic minorities in Syria are deeply concerning, and those responsible for these abuses must be held accountable.
That’s why I’ve introduced the Protection of Syrian Religious and Ethnic Minorities Act.
This legislation is necessary to strengthen congressional oversight, identify individuals responsible for serious human rights violations, and ensure the United States is using the tools available to hold perpetrators accountable. Protecting religious freedom and fundamental human rights must remain a priority as Syria navigates its future.
Thank you to our friends at @indefchristians, @AlawitesAAUS, and @AmericanSyriacU, for their support.
Taking taxis in Damascus is an adventure: a falling car roof, random stuffed animals, and a Fairuz song… Ironically, it makes me want to come back to Syria. 🥹🇸🇾 @HalaGorani
What Netanyahu conveniently leaves out is that some of the worst massacres of Druze civilians in Suwayda took place AFTER Israel's strikes. So his claim to have stopped the massacre is a lie. He did not protect the Druze.
But his claim of a call is most likely fake anyway.
