Israel has unleashed a massive military attack to neutralise Syria with hundreds of airstrikes. A senior Israeli source has called this “the largest air operation carried out by its Air Force in its history”, according to Al Jazeera.

They are supported by donations since it’s indie media, which is probably why their coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been fantastic. Definitely brought me to tears over and over during the past 14 months.
They just have this idealistic peacenik instinct that lacks any sort of concept of critical support or world systems theory. As far as they are concerned, Israel and Assad are equally bad, y’know?
