I'm not saying he is a good person. I am saying that the current Syrian government with him as leader does not appear extremist. HTS made and then abolished a religious police force well before toppling Assad. Allowing education of women and worship of other faiths in a state that is over 90% Muslim is far less extreme than other Muslim countries in the region.
Past actions would have him as an extremist, terrorist, and war criminal, current actions show him as a relative moderate. That doesn't mean forgiveness but when judging Syria via him you should maybe look more at the present than the past.
Sure a lot of western countries supported the overthrow of Assad, would need some support for the zionist sentiment though. How does having a Muslim country out of civil war and reunified help zionists?
Yeah, because Assad banned women from education?????🤔
Whatever keeps the oil flowing to the richest nations in the world and maintains the occupation, right. Aid the Jihadists, kill the Jihadists, aid the Jihadists, and on and on and on. We can forget and remember like a switch.
