I wonder why the left isn't pretending to be outraged by actual genocide in Syria?
Hey boomer, why didn't you post about genocide when Putin and his lackey Assad were barrel bombing densely populated cities? Is that because you've always been one of Putin's useful idiots? Don't worry I am sure the Syrians haven't forgotten the savagery of the Russian forces who are still on Syrian soil. Soon there will be payback.
There are no "good" sides in Syria.
Assad and Russia committed unspeakable war crimes in the >10-year civil war. Remember Aleppo? They did there exactly what Israel did in Gaza.
The group that eventually overthrew the Assad regime is an offshoot of Al-Qaeda and ISIS, who "rebranded" as Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS). There are videos of them literally executing children in Alawite areas of Syria, point blank, while laughing about it. They were supported by Turkey, who wanted to prevent the Kurds from getting ambitious in demanding an independent Kurdistan (they live in the north of Syria and Iraq, and the adjacent area in the south of Turkey). Turkey would rather have HTS than the Kurds, even if they get US support.
HTS is genocidal. They are not the "freedom fighters" you think they are, even if they overthrew a fascist, communist gov't.

Israel did nothing like Assad and Russia did...
You can keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans continue to sing "F$%k the Arabs! School's out in Gaza because all the Children are Dead!"
I've organized dozens of missions to Gaza (and elsewhere in the Middle East) for over 14 years, and helped build a pediatric cancer hospital, cardiac cath lab and mental health clinic in Gaza. What Israel did (and continues to do) in both Gaza and the West Bank is ethnic cleansing, and they're not even trying to hide their intentions any more. As soon as Trump adopted Netanyahu's position of "from the river to the sea, it's all Israel and the Palestinians need to be kicked out", Netanyahu started to try to get the war going again. They just turned off the power to the only remaining desalination plant in Gaza. So not only are they blocking food from entering, they want to stop Gazans from making their own water.
Meanwhile, a documentary about ethnic cleansing in the West Bank (from before 10/7, by the way) can win an Oscar for best picture, but no one will distribute it in the US. "This is the best movie of its kind this year, but no one is allowed to see it"... also "Israel didn't do anything like Russia" did. Sure.
He also cheered as Israel commit its genocide in Gaza.
There is no genocide in Gaza.
It baffles me that you Hamas lovers think strangling babies by hand is equivalent to a baby being killed because Hamas refuses to fight unless there's civilians nearby to die with them.
The stupidity and ignorance of the modern liberal is one of the greatest failures of humanity in the last 50,000 years.
The fall of the last rebel-held areas in the Syrian city of Aleppo could seal the fate of the "Obama Doctrine," deepening the world’s worst humanitarian crisis in decades and staining U.S. President Barack Obama's legacy.
The Syria War, says Aaron David Miller, the distinguished scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, is "Not Obama’s Fault.” Instead, the war is primarily
1. TAITR is a moron. He's also a paid troll not acting in good faith.
2. Obama made the wrong call in Syria. He could have ended the war a decade earlier but failed. It is a mistake that will stain his legacy forever. Good president in a lot of ways, terrible in this one way.
3. HTS is much, much better than Assad, and minority communities in Syria are genuinely relieved to see Assad gone. HTS, now the national army, was a much more disciplined military force than most others. Most of the civilian deaths in the current conflict (apart from those caused by being caught in the crossfire when a bunch of regime die-hards tried to stage an uprising) are attributed to the SNA (a Turkish-backed coalition) and the Hamza Brigade, while HTS is trying to clamp down on them.
4. Unless you've spent a decade following events in Syria, you have no idea who to trust in general, and many of the reports going around on social media are fake. Pictures and videos of past crimes get recycled and attributed to someone else all the time.
You googled "Is Syria Obama's Fault" and then linked this article without even reading it.
You got 2 upvotes from other leftist children who clearly didn't read it either.
LOL!
The conclusion of your own article:
"So yes, Syria is clearly Obama’s fault. His failure—and the failure of his Realist supporters—to see that and to own up to it, raises questions about the moral underpinnings of their worldview and their moral sense."
And of course you will just down vote this and go on living in complete and hopeless ignorance.

HTS is literally an islamist terror organization.
IN what universe are they "much much better than Assad"
Are the minority communities which are being massacred right now by HTS "genuinely relieved" to have HTS in charge?
You could have 500 years to study what's going on in Syria right now and you'd still get it wrong because you're an absolute moron.

No you mental midget. The point is that there are conflicting viewpoints regarding this. Whereas you just want to be a propoganda purveyor, void of critical thinking skills. Nuance is beyond your simple mind. Did Obama have some failures? Sure but Trump is the biggest failure who has ever served as a U.S. President. But your blind loyalty shields you from the truth.

I think you are confessing to how you get information, as shallow as you are. This doesn’t mean we are all as superficial and emptyheaded as you.

Add "the left" to the list of things you are aggressively, confidently, ignorant of.
Lots of people on the left-- the actual left, not liberal Democrats-- have been calling out HTS attacks on Alawites as potentially genocidal, even though the regime they have replaced arguably wasn't any better. (You can start with Dan Cohen at Uncaptured News, Aaron Mate and Max Blumenthal at Grey Zone, Trita Parsi at Quincy Inst, Yanis Varoufakis at Diem25, who between them have over 2 million followers).
Your real target here is the campus left and its criticism of Israel. And, unsurprisingly, you are off base as usual.
The leadership of the anti-Israel left on campuses almost certainly has no illusions about what's happening in Syria. Go ahead and ask them. A free Palestine would have to entail a peaceful, democratic, self-determining Syria-- something that Israel lives in greater fear of than it does of a Syria run by genocidal maniacs. Everyone on the actual left, including those listed above, see Israeli apartheid/genocide and a destabilized Syria and Lebanon as linked and to the advantage of Israel (they are great pretexts for Greater Israeli expansionism).
So, in a very real sense, you ARE seeing demonstrations against US/Israeli/Turkish supported actions in Syria. They're just happening in the larger context of pro-Palestinian/anti-Zionist demonstrations. There's no double standard at all.
But then you don't come here to learn anything. You just like to bluster at people, then flounce off.

Explain why you linked an article which says the exact opposite of what you're claiming if you didn't just google the question and link the first article that popped up.
