If accurate - these proposed changes to the Syrian educational curriculum are atrocious.
In the second row, shown is the following instruction for the first grade curriculum:
“Change ‘those with whom God is angry, who have lost their way’ to ‘the Jews and Christians’”

Conservatives from Syria often mention “agendas” when it comes to social empowerment efforts and offer scant evidence. Does anyone have proof, for example, to what Al-Debs is saying about “skyrocketing divorce rates” post 2018?
Syrian Director of Women's Affairs office Aisha Al-Debs:
"in the end, I will not give room to those who disagree with my way of thinking"
This in response to whether or not she will allow NGO's that empower women and defend their rights to be active in Syria.
I kid you not.

They’re really taking the Turkish model seriously and more: not even making a promise to Palestine, and proposing peace with an Israel actively committing apartheid and genocide. Are souls that cheap? None of us are free, until both Syria and Palestine are free.

New leaders in Damascus call for cordial Syria ties with a resistant Israel
"Our problem is not with Israel. We don't want to meddle in anything that will threaten Israel's security," Damascus Governor Maher Marwan tells NPR. Syria and Israel have never had diplomatic ties.

Israel has actually invaded 3 countries over the past year — and most of the Western media (including CNN) whitewashed that as a normal thing that states do.

Zionists and western supremacists on the one side, and campist leftists and victims of Iranian/Russian propaganda on the other, try to use one fascist genocide to excuse the other. This is the lowest immorality. May Zionism fall as Assadism has fallen.

Assad was close to normalizing relations with Israel in 2010 as part an on-and-off negotiations process that started in 1991. This short article by The Guardian provides an overview. The only focus was the Golan Heights: Palestine was not even on the table.

The Jihadist Factor in Syria’s Idlib: A Conversation with Abu Muhammad al-Jolani | Crisis Group
As a humanitarian disaster unfolds in Idlib, the last bastion of Syria’s Islamist rebels, the question is whether accommodation is possible between the militants and their foes. External actors should answer by gauging the insurgents’ ability to maintain calm and their sincerity about aiding civilians.

Back in the day, there was a place that sold children’s toys in Damascus called "بابا سليني" . The owners had translated this into English on the storefront signage as « Daddy Enjoy Me »

As much as i hate litmus testing people - I’m going to do a litmus test now:
Anyone denying and/or justifying mass atrocity campaigns in either Palestine or Syria - either simultaneously or specifically - doesn’t care about human rights at all.
That should weed off some of the analysts -

From Kodmani's "The Syrian State: A Two-Headed Monster is Emerging", these three paragraphs do a great job of linking the local and global by summarizing how Syria's destabilization suits both the regime itself and international players (players that nevertheless denounce the regime)
