In the 2 or so months after October 7th, >300 were murdered in the West Bank, which I've been told is not Gaza and not Hamas.
Please also explain to the class why Israel was so elated for Syria's regime change. It had nothing to do with Greater Israel, right?
Go ahead and pretend that Greater Israel isn't an explicit goal of these people.
That's a complete reading comprehension fail.
Your first sentence about the West Bank is a non sequitur and irrelevant.
Regime change in Syria was obviously at least a temporarily good thing for Israel. The Assad family had been fighting Israel for more than 50 years. In the power vacuum, Israel could wipe out the vast majority of Syrian military hardware. Did I really need to spell that out for you?
Third, another reading fail. Not even a reading comprehension fail, just a reading fail.
It's the curse of most conspiracy theories that even while believing in a seed of truth—Israeli nationalist expansionist goals—the conspiracy theorist has to take things to such a batshit insane level (e.g., Israel wants to annex all land between the Nile and the Euphrates) that everyone else just gets sick of hearing about it and walks away.
By making shit up and spouting falsehoods that are easily debunked, you make anyone who is anti-Zionist and anti-Israel look like a loon.
The Assad regime was part of the Iranian influence sphere. Iran and its proxies are outspokenly hostile towards Israel. In part, in order to legitimize their own oppressive regimes. Same with Hezbollah and Hamas.
That's why Israel took out Hamas and then crippled Hezbollah, which was propping up the Assad regime. When Assad fell, the Iranian influence sphere was dealt a crippling blow.
Lindsey Graham couldnt have put it better hinself. Good job.
