According to Alawites the last triad of re-incarnations in the Nusayri Trinity consists of Ali (Ma'na), Muhammad (Ism) and Salman al-Farsi (Bab). Alawites depict them as the sky, the sun and the moon respectively. They deify Ali as the "last and supreme manifestation of God" who built the universe, attributing him with divine superiority and believe that Ali created Muhammad, bestowing upon him the mission to spread Qur'anic teachings on earth.

🚨 An informed source to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed:
—
The ceasefire negotiations in Gaza have reached an advanced stage.

Technical committees from Hamas, Egypt, and "israel" have begun working on the details of implementing a prisoner and detainee exchange deal.

Ceasefire negotiations in Gaza have reached the stage of exchanging prisoner names through mediators.

The parties are unprecedentedly serious about reaching an agreement.

Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States are involved in overseeing the negotiations.

is israel going to advance a ceasefire so they can move all of their resources to invading south syria now?

the Ayatollah must be so confused right now

i mean not really Assad is getting abandoned by everyone for being opportunist, also wondering has Hizbullah said anything about syria yet?

The Ayatollah had his Custodian Assad there to protect the Sayyida Zaynab (AS) shrine.

Hizbullah is in shambles right now, Nasrallah is shaking in his grave worried about what's gonna happen to the holy shrine now

P.S I think everyone might be moving to Moscow soon, you know the Hizbullah boys and khamenei; It's joever

right-wing of Hamas asserting itself again

if they sell us out to the israelis then whatever, those who want to fight zionist expansion will do so regardless

They have to adjust with the new reality in the ground.

partially this is true. partially though there's elements in Hamas which are looking for the door and to join the PLO's "state building" project and abandon palestinian national liberation altogether. inevitably their will be a moment where this causes either Hamas to split or for another organization to take the lead in the armed struggle.

you could be totally right though and this is just hopeful thinking from Hamas' leadership.

make no mistake, the baath party's model of constant concessions to the zionists got them nowhere which is why the fascists were so easily able to knock down the house of cards, at the end of the day they were not serious about confronting israel and payed dearly for it. the world is changing and palestinians need fresh ways of confronting zionism.

the future of anti-capitalism and anti-imperialism in the region will more closely resemble Ansarallah then the secular pan-arabism of yesterday.

al-qaeda now directly in control of syrian state institutions, let's see how quickly they deregulate and privatize everything

assad's about to open the best eye clinic in all of russia

they had "constant concessions to the zionists" in the same way that North Korea has constant concessions to the US. if you're referring to the peace efforts under clinton, syria was essentially already crippled due to the Yom Kippur War and unable to seriously engage in wartime, no less given the situation with the remainder of MENA. Syria never made explicit concession beyond asking for its land back and israel to withdraw. the only time in history that it was ever recorded as Syria offering peaceful bilateral ties to Israel was in 2000 through a US ambassador in a US-written document the US tried to push themselves when the US still had relations with Syria. That isn't different from Trump saying him meeting with NK was a promise to ease tensions between NK/SK. the "Baath party's model" was "attempt to pragmatically not get steamrolled by engaging in constant active wartime". if SK kept trying to actively invade NK the same thing would happen.

@Snowboy

Assad was a trash person that destroyed his country and weakened it just to stay in power. Then sold out Iran, the only country that helped him in the region.

Irans mistake was trusting him and didn't do much to change the power reality in Syria when they had the chance.

you dont understand what I'm saying. I dont disagree with any of this. Im saying their were upward limitations to what Baathism was capable of and the rot in the system was present since the beginning.

The DPRK is not comparable since their was a different logic to how the system operated and what their engagement with the imperialist system is. Syria was never at any time a proletarian dictatorship.

I am not denying the fascist takeover, or simply implying that Assad was corrupt or whatever and that's why the government fell. I'm making a sober critique of Baathism's ideological failures and how it was a weak link in the axis of resistance because it had become moribund in comparison.

I simply refuse to go down with the sinking ship. Syrians deserve better than bourgeois secular nationalism and religious fascism, even if in times of crisis I was ready to defend the former with my life against the latter.

I have not heard from any of my comrades in Syria in over a week. I do not even know if the Syrian Communist Party still exists.

I just don't fully understand what you think they should have done as an alternative, which is why I'm confused by the critique. I get anger directed toward them failing, but I don't fully get tying them failing to their inability to deal with the threat that caused them to fail to begin with. It's not as if being structured like the PFLP would have just outright allowed Syria to win over Israel by comparison. Even MENA countries - see Gaddafi's Libya - who attempted to almost wholly focus on solidarity haven't really been able to achieve what the goal is here. The end goal of the country had it not been for Baathism (or some weird form Libyan جماهيرية) would have just been breaking the country down wholly into a non-territorial army of guerilla fighters, which isn't realistic. Like realistically what could they have done? It's not like Gaza in Israel where you're wholly as a people trying to topple a foreign force that's taken over your land and government - Syria had satellites which already did try to contribute to the cause, they just lost (no real fault of their own) and had to restructure with far less power and resources as a consequence.

Their's nothing they could've done differently, thats my whole point. effective Syrian resistance to zionism would've needed to transcend and go beyond the structural limitations of the imperialist system and the ideological limitations of baathism.

I'm saying that somebody on the left should've been looking into the future rather than solely defending a system which was doomed to fail. Their was a time and place for that but what were Syrian communists doing for 6 years of what was relative peace? It seems their was never a plan or a serious push for socialism.

this is overly simplistic, it has nothing to do with assad. the issues were structural and determined by the imperialist world system and iran will one day have the same problems if zionism isn't defeated.

pissrael just sweeping through syria completely unopposed now
