Syria: Israel ALWAYS wanted Bashar Al-Assad to stay in power throughout these 13-years of tragedy, and have benefited from the conflict.

I mean Israel is bombing the hell out of Damascus and many places in Syria right now, after the rebels have overthrown Assad. Israel, like many actors in the region, is opportunistic first and foremost, and it's not like they gain more benefits from a more unified Syria. To them, it's better to destroy current Syrian military assets than allow any chance for them to turn against Israel later.

The most stupid conspiracy theory I've heard in a while. Israel and the US literally toppled Assad today, and Israel has already started grabbing Syrian land. Whey the heck would Israel have wanted Assad in power?

It’s fake.

Israel helped Daesh fighters to take down Assad for years. Their Minister of Military Affairs even said he would prefer Syria in the hands of Daesh than Bashar and Iran.

I don't buy it. The entire war in Syria and arming of Islamic Nationalists and ISIS invading and Kurd militants from Iraq invading is an attempt to block the flow of track west from Iran to make it easier for Israel to expand north in Lebanon and Syria.

Israel has been trying to expand north since its inception. A destroyed Syria is exact what Israel and its allies have been working toward all this time.

Thank you for this. The leftists all over reddit and Instagram as usual are standing with butcher Assad just because Russia is with him.

Thank you for believing in ethics and not calling us Syrian terrorists or traitors for freeing our land from Assad and his allies.

They were happy to watch Syrians kill each other. Assad was no ally of Israel and the West.

It’s not a coincidence that this all cracked off the moment the so called ceasefire was in place. Israel wanted him and his whole gov’t out, because they were the lifeline for Hamas and Hezbollah. Without Syria, Iran will have to directly involve themselves in order to keep Hamas and Hezbollah in the fight. This sideways talk about Israel wanting Assad in power is nonsense.

Israel only ever bombed Assad and Iranian forces and never bombed any rebel groups

Israel wants to keep their neighbors divided, no better division than civil war. It wouldn't surprise me if they were funneling funds & weapons directly to all involved parties.
