Israel drew unjustified condemnation for its presence in Syria when it established a buffer zone between Israel and Syria after the fall of former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
According to The Media Line, Israel managed to secure control over “the demilitarized buffer zone in Syria that was established as part of a 1974 ceasefire reached between the two hostile countries. In that buffer zone is Mt. Hermon’s highest peak, the highest point on the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The territory guarantees strategic control over the whole southern Syrian arena, which generates an immediate threat to Israel…..There is no higher vantage point than the Syrian part of the Golan.” In August, a senior advisor to Qatar’s emir, Azmi Bishara, illustrated the heightened threat when he warned Syria that normalization with Israel was “poison,” and that giving up the Golan reflected weakness.
“Palestinian Islamic Jihad reportedly expands military presence in Syria,” Jerusalem Post, November 26, 2025:
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terror organization has started to build a growing military presence in Syria, according to a Wednesday report from Israeli public broadcaster KAN News.
This reportedly occurs with Syria’s full awareness of the PIJ’s efforts and comes as Hamas bolsters its strength in Lebanon through increased cooperation with Hezbollah.
KAN reported that the PIJ has expanded the capabilities of its military wing, the al-Quds Brigades, within Syria in recent weeks, noting a particular uptick in activity in the Palestinian refugee camps near Damascus.
Syria is considered a particularly convenient base for the PIJ due to the United States’ recent informal ban on Israeli airstrikes against Syrian targets.
KAN also reported that the regime of Ahmed al-Shara has even appointed an envoy whose sole task is to facilitate communications between PIJ leadership and the Syrian government….
Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, is a worse threat to Israel and to religious minorities in Syria than al-Assad was. He is a seasoned al-Qaeda jihadist who even allied with the late Islamic State caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, until he betrayed him out of loyalty to the late al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Nothing has changed about al-Sharaa aside from his manipulative efforts to appear Westernized. He continues to fool far too many leaders of the West, including, apparently, Donald Trump; he even recently visited the White House.
One hopes that the news of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) proliferating in Syria will work to Israel’s benefit in waking up the willfully blind about the jihad. However, it likely won’t.
Note particularly that PIJ seized the opportunity to establish its base in Syria “due to the United States’ recent informal ban on Israeli airstrikes against Syrian targets.”
PIJ is also expanding in Judea and Samaria as it strengthens its alliance with Hizballah and Hamas. Muslim Brotherhood (MB) state funders such as Qatar and Turkey are likewise menacing Israel. Hamas is an MB offshoot; there is also an alliance between al-Sharaa and PIJ. In addition, Houthi jihadists are also reportedly active in Syria, which appears to be rapidly becoming a jihadist hub.
Tying the hands of Israel only allows the jihad to expand regionally and also globally. Sharia expansion globally is the goal of jihadists (stealth and violent alike) and is their religious duty.
The Jewish state is obligated to its citizens to do everything necessary to protect them and the state from obliteration, as would any country on the face of the earth.

Israel should defend itself from Syria, Turkey, Iran, and the 50+ Islamic Countries where Islam funds, teaches, and supports discrimination, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 98:6-7, etc.). Islam’s Muslims hate Israel, America, and Non-Muslims(Quran 5:14; 60:4, etc.).
Allah’s Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for satanic Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.).
Deceitful Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.
As taught by Allah, Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and with their LIVES while undermining a society from within using the man-made book of lies and deceit, the Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 states, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
ALLAH’S MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than diabolical Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Again, Islam is a totalitarian and supremacist system of lies and deceit because Allah, the best deceiver, is the actual source of Muslim deceit. Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”

Looks like PIJ is trying to take advantage of the decimation of Hamas and the new ban on the muslim brotherhood announced by the US, to fill up the vacuum. Even if their ideology is no different from the muslim brotherhood or Hamas

Reading this article I can’t help but think that Israel ought to be free to use its nuclear arsenal against its enemies. The only downside of this would be that they’d likely be obliterated by Russia, Pakistan, or China. Just goes to show how upside down and backwards things truly are in our world.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Pakistan can’t do a thing – they showed it this year against India. Russia too has turned out to be more of a paper tiger: they can do a bloodbath in Ukraine, but have been unable to take too much territory. So far, Ukraine has been held back: if the West stopped restricting their use, they could start shelling Moscow and really sparking another revolution there
Also, there is nothing to suggest that China will use its nukes against Israel, when it’s busy posturing against the US, Taiwan and Japan

During the 1971 Bangladesh genocide of over a million Hindus and India’s invasion of Bangladesh to stop it, didn’t the PRC threaten directly military action unless India withdrew all its military forces from Bangladesh?
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Don’t know if they did or not (I was 2 years old) but if they did, India ignored it
