Do you think he knows about the Turkish occupation of Northern Syria?
Or does it, simply, not count because it is some kind of Turkish Lebensraum?

Skipping their own endless occupations and 1,000+ airstrikes on Syria since Assad fell. Trump and the EU are smart enough to back real stability with al-Sharaa, while the Sultan's got Damascus unified, Kurds integrating, and even the White House on speed dial. Israel can keep clutching their 'absolute security' pearl everyone else is moving on, and Sultan is the laughing one as Bibi bombs his way to isolation.

Does he know about Turkey's 'occupation'? Buddy, Turkey's buffer zones in northern Syria are textbook self-defense against YPG terrorists who've been shelling Turkish towns for years unlike Israel's eternal grip on the Golan Heights, snatched in '67 and annexed like it's biblical real estate. And Lebensraum? That's rich coming from folks who've turned Gaza into a parking lot and the West Bank into Swiss cheese with settlements. Erdogan's ops stabilized the region, integrated refugees, and now with HTS in Damascus, even the Kurds are negotiating peace deals. Israel? Still bombing sovereign neighbors for 'security' while the world yawns. Hypocrisy doesn't count if it's wrapped in a Star of David, huh?Do you think he knows about the Turkish occupation of Northern Syria?

Except the Palestinians of course, because they're forever stuck in perpetual victimhood and cannot accept responsibility for anything, maybe just maybe that's a central reason for the "endless occupations". Remind me how many friendly Arab states broke ties with Israel over Gaza, oh yeah that's right... 0. So much for that isolation cannard.
Israel and Syria will probably come to an arrangement (if Jolani truly has changed his spots) and the original status quo will continue, but until then the IDF is staying put.

Nah, they're the rightful heirs to their own land fighting 75 years of displacement and apartheid. Arab ties intact? Sure, but with protests raging, deals freezing, and global isolation hitting Israel's wallet hard via BDS and ICJ cases. Israel-Syria deal? Inevitable, since Syria's revival demands it Jolani's HTS is deradicalizing with US/Arab backing, while IDF grabs Golan illegally.
The 1960s vibe is flipping hard now back then it was USSR arming Nasser and Arabs against Israel, now it's Turkey stepping up as the big Sunni powerhouse, backing post-Assad Syria's revival while Egypt joins the party.Just look at Erdoğan's Cairo visit early February 2026: they upgraded to full strategic partnership, signed defense pacts (including $350M arms/joint production), intelligence sharing, joint exercises, and slammed Israel's Golan grabs and Syria violations together.
Both condemned Israel's land grabs, pushed full Gaza ceasefire/withdrawal under Trump's plan, and backed Syrian unity/sovereignty/reconstruction.Turkey's already the kingmaker in Syria hosting refugees, training the new army, brokering Kurd integration, easing sanctions via diplomacy.

Do you mean Israel or Jordan and Egypt before 1967? The occupation of "Palestine" is the only one of its kind where the state emerged after the supposed occupation began according to the UN. 75 years of starting conflicts that you keep losing has consequences. The phrase "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity" comes to mind. Perhaps coexistence would work out better than resistance? Though that would require not killing Yahudi, which I admit is a *bit* difficult for them.
Apartheid? Come on, you can't really be this dumb. Please do demonstrate how Israel has a state policy of racial segregation when there are Arabs in the knesset who regularly criticise the country... The West Bank is separated from Israel for security reasons as per Oslo, literally had to wall it off to stop suicide bombers from blowing themselves up everywhere. Jews can't go to Area A because it's completely under PA control, explain that one...
Oh no Colombia and Bolivia servered diplomatic ties, such isolation! However will Israel cope?!!
The irony of complaining Israel took over the Golan when Turkey occupies 36% of Cyprus.
Not sure why we're talking about this in the Syria thread (or should that be the Turkey Stronk thread?), but hey you mentioned Israel when no one else did, so here we are.

Oh, I figured out already the topic would end up in Cyprus.=
Oh, history twist? Palestine's dispossession started pre-'48 Nakba 750k expelled before any "state." UN partition ignored by Israel expanding via provoked wars. Resistance isn't insanity; it's against endless settler grabs. Coexistence? When Israel halts demolitions and apartheid. Arabs in Knesset? Window dressing Nation-State Law says Jewish only. West Bank wall? "Security" for 700k illegal settlers fragmenting land; Palestinians face checkpoints, not vice versa.

Isolation sarcasm? Add Belgium arms halt, ICJ genocide case, economy down 20%. Golan vs. Cyprus? Israel's illegal annex since '81; Turkey's '74 intervention had UN talks ongoing.
About ehm, Cyprus "occupation" as your hypocrisy hammer? Turkey's 1974 intervention halted a Greek junta-backed coup that massacred Turkish Cypriots and aimed for full Enosis annexation invoking 1960 treaty rights as guarantor to prevent ethnic cleansing, with UN peacekeepers and ongoing federation talks (Annan Plan flopped 'cause Greeks voted no). Unlike Israel's illegal Golan annex (UNSC 497 says nope), Turkey didn't snatch for resources or bomb neighbors endlessly; it's a defensive buffer with bicommunal progress, while Bibi grabs land permanently.

Syria thread? You victim-blamed Palestinians first, then someone sees it as minority cleansing meanwhile, the 3% was 2% Druze, 1% Israeli: OCCUPATION!

Because the Arab Israeli war started immediately after the Palestinians rejected UNGA 181 in 1947, within days Fedayeen forces were attacking villages around Jerusalem triggering civil war. There were suicide bombers detonating themselves 50+ years before the Second Intifada.
The Zionist side accepted the partion plan and the Arab side rejected it outright. Perhaps a counter proposal of a "single state with rights protected for all" would have been better? By starting a war to drive out and eliminate the Jews, they kinda revealed themselves from the outset.
I fully accept that Zionist militias kicked out and murdered Palestinian Arabs during the Arab Israeli war, unfortunately starting a war has consequences. Most of those displaced left by their own will, Arab league orders and such, it's why they still had their keys with them. Jews were also killed and forced out of areas that Egypt and Jordan took over at the end of the war, it wasn't a one way street. Not to mention all the Mizrahi Jews who lost their homes because the Arabs were butthurt at losing a war they should've easily won if they weren't so S**t at it.
Also Black September and the Lebanese Civil War, what were they trying to achieve there? That's not their territory is it?
Nation state law is effectly symbolic and isn't binding, everyone knows Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable. In any case, everyone in Israel has equal rights, including the Palestinians from the other side of the green line that have intergrated and thrived. I repeat, apartheid is a specific policy of racial segregation, which is not happening in Israel so that is a lie and you are a fool for claiming it.
Settlements are a grey area because of uti possidetis juris, since technically the successor state generally inherits all the land from the original boundaries.
Will terrorists stop trying to murder Israelis if the IDF stops demolishing their family homes in the aftermath? Does everything turn into sunshine and rainbows if Israel leaves the Palestinian territories, or is it simply the first step towards trying to carve out the rest of the region again? Rhetorical question, hence why Israel won't do a damn thing until Palestinians show themselves as actual partners for peace.
We didn't get to the Good Friday agreement in Northern Ireland until the PIRA put the weapons down and talked.
Belgium is a major supplier of weapons to Israel? Are you for real?
ICJ case is unlikely to rule against Israel, given the standard of evidence needed to reach that point, which is why no country in history has ever breached the 1948 genocide convention. It can be the only possible inference, there can be no other explanation for actions taken (ie war).
Any country at war is going to have a troubled economy, that's just standard. Meanwhile the country is a technological powerhub with many areas of business and investment within the sciences, AI etc.
I didn't say anything about Palestinians until you mentioned Israel:
Won't deny it's an occupation, but it has a legitimate purpose and the sooner Syria plays ball, the sooner they can all place nice once again.
