๐ธ๐พ๐ฎ๐ฑ A major Syrian Druze leader just said theyโre an โinseparable partโ of Israel.
Hikmat al-Hijri:
โWe even share a doctrine with this state, the State of Israel, of which we are a part...
We, as Muwahhidun Druze, are an inseparable part of the State of Israel.โ
He also says they are waiting for โsomething newโ in the coming days, with the U.S., Europe, and Israel playing a central role.
โThis is the central matter for us. We are waiting for results.โ

The end of the SDF.
The force that fought ISIS alongside the United States has now dissolved and been absorbed into the Syrian state under Ahmed al-Sharaa โ a former al-Qaeda-linked jihadist and once a U.S.-designated terrorist.
And Washington calls it a โhistoric milestone.โ
What a way to end an alliance.

๐จFrom $10 million most-wanted terrorist posterโฆ @SecRubio announcing Syriaโs off the state sponsors of terror list.
Thatโs quite the glow upโฆ and itโs frightening.
Today, I formally rescinded Syriaโs designation as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. This action unlocks new potential for Syriaโs economic revitalization and progress. The Trump Administration continues to advance U.S. national security to achieve peace, prosperity, and security in the Middle East.
๐ REPORT: Cambridge Assistant Research Professor Farah Ahmed co-wrote that studying computer technology should help โproduce advanced weaponry for Jihadโ so that Islam may dominate over other religions.
Imagine reading this and still calling the threat โfar-right paranoia.โ

ANTI JIHAD DRUZE MINORITY IN SOUTHERN SYRIA RALLY IN SUPPORT OF ISRAEL
Druze residents in As-Suwayda organized a convoy yesterday displaying numerous Israeli flags, thanking Israel for standing with their community following last yearโs deadly violence involving forces aligned with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa.
Participants also expressed appreciation that Israel has made the security of Syriaโs Druze community a central issue in talks over a possible Israel-Syria security agreement.
A remarkable public display of support for Israel from inside southern Syria.
๐จ BREAKING: AfD leader Alice Weidel says all 1.3 million Syrians in Germany would be returned to Syria under her partyโs policy.
She also says Germany would take in no more Afghans and would close its borders.

No education, no work, no independence.
Beaten in the streets. This is what Islamist rule looks like for women.
Did this tourist visit the Druze Mountain and see the burned villages, and the displaced families now sheltering in schools after jihadists drove them from their homes?
Did he visit the Alawite coast and meet grieving families still waiting for their abducted daughters to come home?
Did he visit Kurdish Afrin and Kobani and see families living through displacement and siege?
So which โsafe Syriaโ did he actually visit?

Nothing says โsuccessful integrationโ quite like campaigning in a foreign language.
Hamas commanders, in their own words.
Their goal is clear. This was never just about Palestine. Itโs about spreading their ideology far beyond it. Palestine is simply the excuse. nitter.cf/heart_ISR/status/20915โฆ

๐จ SHOCKING: Swedenโs Social Democrats are campaigning in Arabic ahead of the September 13 general election. ๐ธ๐ช

๐จ BREAKING: Sweden ๐ธ๐ช granted citizenship to just 98 applicants in July, out of 2,825 citizenship cases concluded that month.
It was the first full month under Swedenโs tougher citizenship eligibility rules.
In a major shift, most of those granted citizenship were citizens of Finland, Norway and Denmark.

This is the tiny state called Qatar.
Europe and America let it fund some of the most extreme Islamist groups within their own borders, while Christians and converts in Qatar face severe restrictions on religious freedom.
