Blaming Judaism for ‘zion’-ism is like blaming Sunni Islam for HTS massacres of Alawites

Don’t be a hypocrite—apply your own logic consistently.

Currently in the so-called “pro-Palestine” movement, there is a growing trend of blaming Judaism, the Old Testament, and “the Jewish collective” for Fourth Reich war crimes against Palestinians. The argument goes that so long as a majority of self-described “Jews” are polled as pro-Zionist, therefore it somehow becomes logically coherent to pin the blame of IOF Judeo-SS crimes against humanity on Judaism in ambiguously collective terms and that anyone who does not accept this equivocation must be designated as “excusing Zionist Jews behind a cloak of Western privilege refusing to acknowledge the reality of Jewish supremacism.”

I would like to remind you that those same exact same people in the “pro-Palestine” community aren’t talking about Syria over the past few months. Coincidence? I don’t believe so—apparently Zionist occupation is suddenly “OK” if the victims are Syrian Christians and Alawites because the death squads slaughtering them are “Islam”-ic extremists and the “Assad Ray-tzcheam” must be deemed the greater evil because it was run by “minority Alawite tyrants”? Time and time again you hear the correctly assessed critique that Islamic and Arab conglomerates are guilty of turning a blind eye to Palestinian human suffering, but how often do you hear anyone in the mainstream Hamas-defending “pro-Palestine” umbrella specifically pointing out the naked complicity of Syria’s wokeified al-Qaeda occupiers a.k.a. “Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham” (HTS) endlessly bending over backwards to appease the Judeonazis?

Crickets? My observations likewise—and mind you, Abu Mohammad “Ahmed al-Sharaa” al-Julani is on record repeatedly uprooting Palestinian resistance amidst capitulating to Zionist savagery.¹ I’ll let this recent finding speak for itself:²³

In the immediate aftermath of the Dec. 8, 2024 Zionist-Wahhabi coup d’état, tens of thousands of Syrian Shi’a Muslims (mostly Alawites)⁴ fled to Lebanon and Christians began to dread their future.⁵ They were absolutely right to worry—salafi jihadist massacres (many of the perpetrators Zionist-trained Turkish-Qatari-Saudi-Chechen-Uighur-French foreign mercenaries) of Alawites and Christians in Syria rampaged a few months later in horrendous specters of sanguinarily barbaric mass murder campaigns of native Syrian innocent civilians.

Remember in Dec. 2024 when the Sunni Islamic reaction—already hostile to Ba’athist Syria in the years leading up⁶⁷⁸⁹—to the ouster of Assad was¹⁰ pure¹¹ joy¹² when woke-ISIS “diversity-friendly jihadists” commanded by Abu Mohammad al-Nazijewlani seized control of Damascus? Ask yourself this: out of Sunni Muslims globally, how many defended Assad against HTS and condemned their own organizational hierarchy’s Dec. 2024 endorsement of Wahhabi death squads in the wake of thousands of Syrian Alawites and Christians murdered at the hands of Zionist-owned and CIA-deployed “Islam”-ist savages? Now compare that to the considerable anti-establishment media presence of anti-Zionist Jews (mind you, a very large percentage of consistent anti-imperialists in ecosystems like The Grayzone and affiliated outlets are Jewish anti-Zionists, i.e. Max Blumenthal, Aaron Maté, Katie Halper, Alexander Rubinstein) vocally speaking against the nazijew IOF and evaluate the proportions for yourself. How many anti-HTS/pro-Assad Sunni Muslims are there out of the global Sunni Islamic population, and how many anti-Zionist/pro-Palestinian Jews are there out of the global Jewish population?

No, please don’t get me started on the “most Sunnis reject ISIS” argument. “HTS” is a rebrand of al-Qaeda commanded by a Zionist¹³-appeasing¹⁴ terrorist who once coordinated¹⁵ with ISIS head Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi¹⁶ (they only split in Apr. 2013 due to an intra-salafist political squabble) and which spawned out of the same Jabhat al-Nusra¹⁷ salafi front which colluded with DAESH in a collaborationist takfiri kinship against Hezbollah during the Syrian “civil war.”¹⁸ If most Sunni Muslims supported the coup of Dec. 8, 2024, that means they supported a Zionist-backed ideologically al-Qaeda/DAESH-adjacent takfiri destruction of a pluralistic secular and democratically elected¹⁹ legitimate²⁰ government, period.

Does this mean Sunni Islam is to blame for HTS? That depends on whether you look at reality through a one-dimensional lens of binary reductionism—my answer is “no,” just as I don’t blame Judaism for Zionist war crimes against Palestinians.

If you are one of those lopsided “anti-Zionists” who want to blame “juize” and Judaism collectively for Zionist occupation war crimes against Palestinians, then please be consistent to your own undergirding logical premises and also blame Sunni Muslims and Sunni Islam collectively for Zionist-Wahhabi occupation war crimes against Syrian Alawites and Christians.
