The Tripolitan

If I believed in reincarnation, I would believe that the Durzi Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hajari is the reincarnation of the slain Assadist war criminal, Issam Zahreddine.

The Lebanese composer and son of Fairuz, Ziad Rahbani, has died. Although his music career is undoubtedly impressive, he unfortunately supported Assad and its allies in the midst of an extermination campaign against the Syrian people. Some things simply can’t be forgiven.

Lebanese Druze leader, Walid Junblatt, in an interview stated that “some of the Suweida militias committed crimes against the Bedouin population” and that Hajari “called for direct Israeli intervention”. He added that these actions do not serve the interests of the Druze.

Syrian Alawites in Banyas march in support of the Syrian government and voice opposition to any form of partition of the State.

The Lebanese government must take a firm stance against Lebanese Durzi fighters participating in the fighting on the side of Hajari. Wi’am Wahhab has made this public knowledge and boasts about his participation in Syrian internal affairs.

Iraqi governor confronts Basrawi citizen and tells him to be thankful that he lives in a time where he can even ask a question to the governor. Contrast this arrogance to the behavior of Syrian officials who have displayed humility not common among Arab officials.

On this day, the former deputy mayor of Arsal, Ahmed al-Flaiti, was assassinated by Iranian backed Hezbollah as he tried to prevent their forces from attacking Syrian refugees in Arsal, Lebanon via mediation. He was unarmed and trying to do good. Never forget our heroes.

An old tweet from former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi saying that the Egyptian border crossing with Gaza is always open for whoever needs any form of aid. Today, we see the Egyptian State directly complicit in starving the Palestinian population of Gaza.

Damascus should cease in inflating the standing of Laith Balous among the Durzi community. The reality is that the prominent force in Suweida is Hajari with secondary traces of folks who are silently in agreement. Acknowledging this will help with finding a solution.

As reports of rape, decapitation of children, and burning of families emerge at the hands of Hajari’s Israeli-backed Druze militias, the more inelastic the Syrian pop become and push for an all out military solution with the elimination of any potential for a political solution.

The Syrian President’s latest speech seems to be directed to the int’l community rather than the domestic Syrian audience.

Israel “allowing limited entry” for Syrian Security to reestablish control over Suweida is a major cope. Don’t forget that Israel has a sizable Bedouin population that wreaked havoc across Israel a couple of years ago. They understand that the narrative is no longer favorable.

When Assadists cells were conducting terror attacks on the coast, and the gov’t became overwhelmed, the people mobilized across the country to augment the Army’s capabilities. Today, we see a similar popular mobilization after the gov’t faced challenges quelling Hajari’s militias

Does anyone else hear the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” theme song playing?

Truly unique moment in history seeing the activation of old Arab tribal laws and relations to counter Israeli-backed Druze militias. Tribal allegiances across numerous countries in the region all coming together in a singular show of force. This is something out of a movie.

Hikmat Hajari is similar to Benjamin Netanyahu in that they are both politically dead in their respective countries so they must continue warring to avoid their imminent fates.

Reports that Hajari’s militias have raped women and decapitated a child after storming Bedouin tents. The Hourani Bedouins were the first to rise against Assad and it seems like Hajari has no idea what he has unleashed. Tribal code and honor eclipses State’s laws for them.

A reminder that the majority of the population inhabiting the Golan Heights before they were ethnically cleansed by Israel in 1967 were Sunni Muslims.

Today, Suweida is ever more isolated due to the actions of the renegade Durzi leader, Hikmat Hajari. It’s a lose-lose for the province as it becomes an Israeli security zone while Damascus continues its economic and political reform across the country.

Important to mention that these soldiers have seen their comrades killed and their bodies mutilated by Hajari’s Durzi militias. Contextualization is something that often is cut out when it comes to Syria which results in poor analysis.
