Is Damascus being pushed into a confrontation with Hezbollah?
In a moment of regional realignment and rising pressure from US-backed alliances, Syria’s border moves signal a deeper struggle over sovereignty, resistance, and the emerging order.
❗️Annexation of West Bank accelerating as Israel leverages war on Iran
As the US-Israeli war on Iran intensifies, the occupied West Bank is being carved up in real time through closures, raids, and a surge in settler violence, reinforcing fears that Israel is using the regional escalation to cement irreversible control. Since late February, at least 11 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers, with entire communities increasingly cut off as new barriers and military measures tighten the noose.
On the ground, the architecture of confinement is expanding. Iron gates now seal key roads such as the route between Deir Jarir and Silwad, where Israeli soldiers alone control movement, opening and closing crossings at will. In nearby Sinjil, a five meter high fence has turned the town into an open air prison, trapping thousands of residents. Across the territory, hundreds of checkpoints and roadblocks have immobilized daily life, delaying ambulances, severing access to work and education, and isolating families from one another. At the same time, mass raids and arrests have swept through Palestinian towns, while in occupied East Jerusalem, Al Aqsa Mosque has remained closed for weeks during Ramadan under heavy military restrictions.
While Palestinians are confined, Israeli settlers move freely and are escalating attacks under military protection. Deadly raids in villages north of Ramallah and in the South Hebron Hills left multiple Palestinians killed in a matter of hours. Behind the violence, new measures approved by Israel’s security cabinet are quietly redrawing the legal and administrative map of the occupied West Bank, extending Israeli control into areas previously under Palestinian Authority jurisdiction and easing land acquisition that paves the way for expanded settlements. With international attention diverted to Iran, and even Washington shifting policy to engage settlements directly, the conditions are being set for what many see as a final push to formalize annexation.
West Bank Palestinians NEED to get organized fast.
This is literally to prevent Palestinians from organizing.
I think that the only factor that will stop Israel from using Nuclear weapons is if the Palestinian resistance inside the occupied territories are able to overrun the settler millitary as it gets stretched thinner by the Iranians and regional resistance.
I suspect that the Palestinian resistance are waiting for Israel’s capabilities to degrade even further as the war continues before striking. The recent acceleration of violence in the West Bank and Gaza since the start of the Ramadan War look to me like the violent lashings of a settler colony that’s becoming aware of its own upcoming demise.
Some have said I am too optimistic about the complete removal of imperialists from the region during this war, but I genuinely think the conditions for region wide liberation is rapidly approaching.
⭕️ Israeli war minister apologizes to Sde Teiman rapists, orders army to reinstate them
Israeli War Minister Israel Katz met with soldiers from Force 100 implicated in the horrific abuses at the Sde Teiman detention facility, apologizing to them and ordering their return to active military service.
According to Hebrew media reports, including Channel 14, the soldiers attended the meeting masked to conceal their identities.
During the meeting, Katz told the soldiers, “I apologize for the injustice the system has done to you,” referring to the investigations opened against them and the “psychological harm” he said was caused by the military legal process.
He had previously described the case against them as a “blood libel” and confirmed that he ordered the army to reinstate them immediately.
The move comes days after charges were dropped against the soldiers over the rape assault at the Sde Teiman detention facility, a desert torture facility holding Palestinians detained during Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.
Footage of the 5 July, 2024 assault, showing soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee, was broadcast by Israeli television, triggering international outrage. The victim was later admitted to hospital following the assault.

“Trump might abandon us. This is a failed operation” — former French Army General Michel Yakovlev warns Macron not to enter the Strait of Hormuz.
"It’s a question of trust. After all, this is the man who abandoned the Afghans, which means he’ll abandon us when it suits him, when we’re still in the operation.
They say the Titanic’s captain tried to sell cheap tickets for a communal dinner after the collision with the iceberg. That’s where we’ve come to—it looks like he’s the captain of the operation. Yes, perhaps. So now is not the time to buy discounted tickets for the Titanic.
And the final argument is the American one: you don’t exacerbate a failure. That’s what I learned in American military school. You don’t exacerbate a failure. We need to find another solution, move on, but not exacerbate a failure. That’s why we have reasons not to go there."

🇺🇸🇸🇾🇱🇧 BREAKING! The US wants to activate Al-Julani and his ISIS gang to fight Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The U.S. has urged Syria to consider deploying forces to eastern Lebanon to help disarm Hezbollah, but Damascus is hesitant, fearing deeper involvement in regional conflict and rising sectarian tensions, five sources told Reuters.

This seems extremely desperate. ISIS is stretched super thin, how are they supposed to have capacity to help Israel?
I don’t think the imperialists care much and just want to throw bodies at Hezboallah in an attempt to finally destroy them. This doesn’t take into account that the Iraqi resistance has explicitly Saud they will fight Jolani if he mobilized against Hezboallah.
The Jolani regime might be closer to an end then we assumed due to the imperialists miscalculation against Iran.
Its about destroying the entire region so Israhell can colonize the rubbles.
🇺🇸 This Financial Times opinion article argues that Iran’s actions in the Strait of Hormuz show the reality of multipolar economic warfare. For decades, the US dominated sanctions and used financial pressure as a strategic weapon. Now other powers, including Iran and China, can use similar tools in response to escalation.
The article says sanctions are increasingly less effective as countries adapt by diversifying trade, strengthening domestic industries, and building alternative partnerships. Economic coercion is no longer a safe substitute for conflict. Prolonged sanctions raise global costs, disrupt energy markets, and increase the risk of military escalation.
In short, economic weapons are no longer one-sided and carry growing global consequences.

🇺🇸 “If the war were to be extended, it wouldn’t really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we’d have to think about what we’d have to do about that, but that’s really the last of our concerns right now.”

Consumers are distinct from US economy? Wtf… 💀
In their eyes, consumers are, in fact, distinct from the US economy; in their eyes, the US economy is the stock market.
🇬🇷🇺🇸 Greek media reports the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford, currently deployed in the Red Sea as part of the U.S.–Israeli war on Iran, is expected to return to NATO’s naval base on Crete next week.
The vessel is reportedly returning for refueling and possibly to investigate a major onboard fire on March 12.
The fire began in the ship’s main laundry area. More than 600 sailors were left without beds (https://t.me/DDGeopolitics/177970) and have since been sleeping on floors and tables.
