Al-Julani's New Identity, the CIA and America – Scott Ritter

[eretzyisrael]

by Dalit Halevi

Syrian rebel leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, also known as Abu Mohammad al-Julani, has said that the new Syrian regime will operate according to Sharia Law.

Speaking in Damascus, al-Julani said that the regime's morality police will operate under the Minister of Internal Affairs and be under the supervision of religious clerics and mullahs.

The morality police's job will be to ensure that the public implements Sharia Law, and in doing so, it will prioritize the path of "dawah," proselytization and education, instead of operating through force.

This is because the way of brute force "shows our inability to convey Sharia to the people," he explained.

However, al-Julani added, the new regime will not hesitate to use force against those who attempt to prevent it from implementing Sharia Law. "The jihad is obligatory for this reason," he stressed.

so... censoring germany's foreign minister because she didnt wear hijab to the meeting with the jihadist regime in syria is bad, but jolani sending suicide bombers to markets filled with civilians, or managing underground torture dungeons, or working with isis, or going after and murdering any non sunni muslim in syria, these are all fine?

Fellow leftist: "The media is far too simplistic, al-Assad was terrible, but that doesn't mean the forces currently taking over Syria are good. They're also pretty shit..."

Me: "Yes! Finally, some nuance. There's multiple factions and-"

Fellow leftist: "... which means this much be a fake rebellion fully engineered by the US government to turn Syria into a puppet state because no movement born of the people of Syria could want this."

Me: "Whoa now, take off the tinfoil hat. I know the US loves to do some international meddling but I'm pretty sure they didn't create HTS, nor are they thrilled about the role of al-Julani after trying to kill the man for over a decade. The world is not divided into Pure Moral People's Struggles and Imperialist Conspiracies. That's not a helpful new binary."

Progressive antisemites: Jews are White. Arabs are POC.

Arab antisemites: Doesn't al-Julani look like Herzl?

The BBC interviews the rebranded version of Ahmad al-Shara' (Abu Muhammad al-Julani)'s now that they are selling him as a statesman rather than a terrorist. 👇

Jolani is the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), previously al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate.

He began his militant career with al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) under Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, gaining expertise in insurgency and extremism.

‼️In 2011, Jolani established Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria, an al-Qaeda branch known for suicide bombings, assassinations, and mass killings.

‼️Between 2012 and 2015, Jabhat al-Nusra conducted widespread attacks, including suicide bombings and chemical attacks, targeting civilians and government forces.

‼️In 2017, he rebranded Jabhat al-Nusra as Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to distance it from al-Qaeda, though terrorist activities continued.

‼️HTS enforced strict Sharia law, carried out public executions, suppressed minorities, and used civilians as human shields.

‼️Jolani and HTS are internationally recognized as terrorists, with the U.N. and U.S. designating them as such.

‼️Jolani has a $10 million bounty on his head under the U.S. Rewards for Justice Program.

This is who the US and Israel have been funding in order to get rid of Assad. This is who the media is now trying to whitewash and rebrand. 👇

Syrian sources: An official American delegation led by Barbara Leaf, the Biden administration's envoy to the Middle East, is currently meeting with Ahmed al-Sharaa, Abu Muhammad al-Jolani, commander of the rebel organization Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham.

What's in the news, but NOT on the news 🤔

The Harmel tribes have been effective in defeating hts forces and there is reports of the hts president al-julani personally calling for reinforcements to the region

[the-garbanzo-annex-jr]

The burning of a Christmas tree by gunmen in the Syrian city of Hama is a sinister portent of what minorities might expect under the evolving situation in the country.

The dominant group in charge, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has sent out messages reassuring religious and ethnic groups that they will be protected. It blamed “foreign fighters” for the tree burning, but can HTS be trusted? Its leader, Abu Mohammad al-Julani, has jettisoned his nom de guerre and his Kalashnikov rifle, preferring to be known by his real name of Ahmed al-Sharaa. Projecting his new image of moderation and respectability, he has donned a suit to receive visiting diplomats. The United States has recently scrapped a $10 million bounty on his head.

Is it being too hasty?  HTS is an Islamist group with roots in Al-Qaeda and has been designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States, United Kingdom, United Nations and European Union.

A BBC reporter asked al-Julani if Syria would become another Afghanistan for women, and he said there was no reason to ban women’s education. He did not specify if they would be segregated. When asked if he would ban alcohol, however, al-Julani hedged, saying it would not be up to him but to a committee of legal advisers. He was not asked about his jihadi past.

To understand what the future might lay in store for minorities, look no further than the treatment of Christians in Idlib province, which slipped into HTS’s control about 10 years ago. Properties were confiscated and religious rituals restricted, although there was more freedom in recent times, one Christian told the BBC.

The system has been plagued by corruption, nepotism and arbitrary rule and is policed by militias who are only answerable to themselves.

According to a report by the Atlantic Council published in 2016, the judicial system in Idlib “is akin to jungle law, in which the powerful use it to impose their rule on the others. The military factions use the judiciary to encroach on civilian affairs. Traditional Islamic concepts like sharia and ijtihad (freedom for judges to make new rulings not based on precedence) are exploited to eliminate armed groups’ enemies and reinforce the control of militants and their associates.”

Judgment in a case depends on whether you can influence the judge. “The law has turned into a weapon to settle scores, imposing the rule of military factions, and undermine civil institutions,” said the article. “The situation under Bashar al-Assad’s reign was not much better, the only difference is that extremist groups rely, at least theoretically, on Islam and sharia law to justify their arbitrary rule.”

So, what might happen to the minorities now? The Alawites, the ethnic group to which the Assad family belonged, are the most vulnerable to revenge attacks.

The Kurds are already in HTS’s sights, as their aspirations to self-determination are diametrically opposed to those of HTS’s Turkish patron.

Syria’s Christian community has dwindled from 11% to 2% of the population in the last 15 years. They could find themselves as subjugated dhimmis under sharia law.

Indeed, their fate could mirror that of the Jewish minority, whose tragic story has barely been told—until now.

A Jewish population of 30,000 in 1948 has declined to just three people. A new report by Justice for Jews from Arab Countries charts the extinction of this millennial-old Jewish community, which suffered decades of human-rights abuses, torture and dispossession. It puts a figure on their material losses at $10 billion in today’s prices. If taken together with the losses of Jews in nine other Arab countries, the total could run to hundreds of billions of dollars.

Not only have the Jews lost their property, they have lost their roots and their history. The region is the poorer for having lost its Jews.

The Jews’ plight might seem marginal in the bigger picture, given that 500,000 Syrians have died in the country’s brutal civil war. Now that Assad’s Syria has been revealed as a slaughterhouse, one could argue that minority rights are a luxury that only democracies can afford. But state abuse of its minorities did, and can still, degenerate into the abuse of everybody’s rights. The treatment of minorities is the litmus test of the health of a society.

It is too late to save the Jews, but the Christmas tree burning is a wake-up call. The global community must not just stand by: It should keep a close watch on the treatment of minorities, safeguard the Christians’ right to practice their religion and hold Syria’s new leaders to account for the slightest deviation.

Resistance News Network:

The armed terrorists of the Syrian opposition "Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham" continue their media campaign to present their formerly ISIS- and Al-Qaeda-affiliated selves as reformed and "open to change," which the western media parrots without question.

HTS leader Abu Mohammed Al-Julani is now presented as giving up his head-slicing ways under a black flag in favor of a tailored olive military outfit, palatable to the west. Remarkably, Al-Julani, despite being among the world's most abominable terrorists, was freely given an interview in CNN today, where his "changed" views were platformed, glossing over his history as an ISIS leader in Iraq and Syria.

Al-Julani, in a message to Iraq a few days ago, manipulated language to serve the Western agenda, speaking about "Iran's wars against the region," referring to the Gaza genocide and "israel's" war on Lebanon, without naming the executor at all. This is a calculated rhetoric that aligns fully with the agenda of his Western and zionist backers which seek to fracture the resistance in the region.

In an interview with zionist media today, an FSA officer openly admitted that their only enemies are the Syrian state, Hezbollah, and Iran - not the settler-colonial and expansionist tumor in the region called "israel." Far from even pretending to condemn the occupation, he expressed willingness to be friendly with the genocidal entity, mirroring what was told to zionist analyst Mordechai Kadar, that opposition groups want increased support and weapons from "israel."

He added that they are "thankful to 'israel' for strikes against Hezbollah." This is no surprise, as opposition groups have repeatedly been documented expressing thanks to Netanyahu and celebrating assassinations of resistance figures, even through Al-Aqsa Flood. As quoted, the opposition's sole goal is overthrowing the Syrian state; they seek to normalize with "israel" and even requested "'israeli' and American aid for reconstruction," which would only make Syria more dependent (Note: the Syrian state owes $0 to the World Bank today).

The Syrian opposition has deceived the West, as well as some Arabs, that they are virtuous humanitarians fighting for the Syrian people. In reality, they are pawns in the destabilization the region, aiming to break the link of resistance, and serve "israel" with their actions. By Al-Julani's own admission, over 30% of their ranks consist of foreign mercenaries, far from the "grassroots" movement they aim to represent, while their operations are shaped and funded by Turkey and the West.

Despite the sanitized picture they try to sell the western media today, horrific stories of executions, robberies, siege have emerged from towns that have been taken over in the last week. Despite the attempt at covering up these stories, their true colors shine through by their actions, as well the occasional ISIS patches they forget to hide on their uniforms.

While the resistance in Gaza, Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen defends the region from Western hegemony and tyranny, the Syrian opposition has not lifted a finger. Their Western-trained drones, operated by Ukrainian instructors, have never targeted the zionist entity—they have only targeted Syrians. For months, they have schemed to destabilize the region and undermine the gains of the resistance. With the blessing of their masters and Western cover and support, they are working to sow chaos, diminish the resistance's momentum, and serve their foreign interests.

December 8, 2024, was a sad day for all sovereigntists around the world. After nearly a decade and a half of fighting for survival against simultaneous aggression from virtually all sides, Syria succumbed to its mortal wounds. The ongoing blame game in Russia, Iran and other multipolar powers won’t change anything. There’s a ton of speculation on who sold what and to whom, but the simple fact is that everything has a breaking point. Since 2011, when NATO effectively invaded the country, Syria wasn’t given a day of break. And yes, it was an invasion, because the so-called “Syrian Civil War” is a ridiculous euphemism coined by the mainstream propaganda machine as a cover-up for this terrorist-infested assault. The political West and its vassals and satellite states launched this truly unprovoked war of aggression not against Assad, but the Syrian people.

Back in 2015, Damascus asked for Russia’s help and its intervention saved the country from a complete terrorist takeover. By 2019, most of the country was liberated from NATO-backed terrorists, leaving several areas under occupation, including the terrorist-infested Al Tanf, where American occupation forces are still stationed, and Idlib, where Turkey maintained and supported an alliance of various Al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists. Precisely these two areas played a central role in the latest attack on Syria, resulting in the complete takeover. The US-backed, Kurdish-dominated SDF still holds the territory beyond the Euphrates, although it remains to be seen for how long with the expansionist Turkey sending its terrorists to the area. Either way, the actual Syrian Civil War is starting just now and it’ll be a disastrous bloodbath.

The mainstream propaganda machine is already preparing some sort of “Syrian Zelensky” as the leader of the “moderate, democratic Syria”. The so-called “emir” Ahmed Hussein al-Shar’a, better known by his Al Qaeda nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani, is a wanted terrorist, the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, previously known as Al-Nusra Front), with the United States formally offering $10 million for his whereabouts and capture. And yet, that doesn’t prevent CNN from interviewing him, meaning they obviously know where he is, making this “moderate democratic” charade all the most ludicrous. Even more interestingly, he has an extremely lucrative business in Turkey, a major NATO member that somehow “didn’t get the memo” they’re working with a terrorist. Still, Ankara is more honest about its motivation for working with him.

🚀BALLISTIC MISSILE - MISS? - Real time from Israel  

ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

( VIDEO - Houthi ballistic missile fragments falling through the Israeli sky after interception. )

🚀 BALLISTIC MISSILE FIRED BY THE HOUTHIS AT CENTRAL ISRAEL 12:20 AM..

.. interceptor fired from Rishon/Holon area.

.. large booms over Samaria, then over central Israel - up to 10 explosions heard.

.. NO ALARMS except for 1 in Talmei Elazar on the northern-ish coastal area.

.. it appears the point of interception resulted in the angle of the shrapnel falling into the Mediterranean Sea - so no alarms within Israeli towns.

⚠️HOUTHI CHATTER - “The Houthis announced on their radio that the launch was unsuccessful and that another launch towards Tel Aviv will be made in the next 24 hours at a  time to be determined.

❗️US SEC STATE BLINKEN SAYS.. “The pressure on the government to make concessions has delayed the return of the hostages.”

Blinken's claim is that every time Hamas saw that Israel was being pressured to give up, it hardened its stance.  Blinken said that as a result, he tried to pressure in private conversations rather than in public. 

⭕HAMAS ROCKET hits the EREZ border crossing, which is exclusively delivering humanitarian aid into NORTH GAZA.  

❗️BRAZIL GOES AFTER.. Initial report: A court in Brazil has ordered the police to arrest an IDF soldier who is vacationing in the country - on suspicion of committing "war crimes" in Gaza.

▪️ISRAELI CHIEF RABBI UNDER THREAT.. The Shin Bet and the police provided concrete information this evening about the intention of terrorist organizations to harm new chief Rabbi Yosef. The threat level against the rabbi has been raised to the highest level, and police protection has been assigned.

▪️TEL AVIV PROTESTORS.. (anti-govt) Police announce, end of illegal demonstration in Tel Aviv, 5 rioters arrested, all lanes opened to traffic.

▪️EGYPT PREPARING TO ATTACK HOUTHIS?   They base their decision to attack the Houthis on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, which grants states the right to self-defense against any threat to their national security.  The Houthi threat poses a direct danger to Egypt, especially with regard to the safety of the Suez Canal and surrounding waterways and the loss of 80% of their canal revenue and impact to national budget.

▪️US MILITARY LEAK ON THE HOUTHIS - IT’S THE STRATEGY STUPID.. A secret document submitted by the commander-in-chief of American forces in the Middle East to the Pentagon in which he reveals the failure to deter Houthi forces in Sanaa and that American forces need a new, stronger strategy and broader attacks.

▪️POLITICS - BEN GVIR..  “I did some soul-searching on Shabbat and realized that I was wrong when I saw the Prime Minister and (MK) Boaz in the plenum and we did not offset them.  I apologize to the Prime Minister and my friend (MK) Boaz Bismuth.  From now on, we will offset the Prime Minister until he fully recovers in the near future.”

🔹SYRIA - NEW LEADER IS A MOSSAD BOY?  In a classic example of Arab conspiracy theories, Hezbollah says about the new Syrian dictator: 

Commentator close to Hezbollah, Ali Hamiya: Syrian HTS rebel leader and new Syrian leader Al-Julani was kidnapped as a child, raised by the Mossad, and then sent to Syria.

🔹LEBANON - UNIFIL COMPLAINS.. Peacekeepers today saw an Israeli army bulldozer destroying a blue barrel representing the withdrawal line in the Levona area. The Israeli army bulldozer also destroyed a Lebanese army watchtower near the UNIFIL post in the area. The deliberate and direct destruction by the Israeli military constitutes a blatant violation of Resolution 1701 and international law.

🔹LEBANON - HEZBOLLAH.. Lebanese source, Hezbollah is preparing to attack IDF targets in Lebanese territory.  These comments come in the wake of Israel's violations, which the Lebanese claim mean the supervisory committee is not doing its job.
