How Eighty Years Of US Aggression Finally Broke Syria And Why

November 3, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Ethnic cleansing, Imperialism, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Terrorists, US coup, West Asia

The Syrian government under Bashar Al-Assad was so successfully demonized by Western imperialist media and governments that many celebrated when Assad was overthrown last December, even though the new puppet government was led by the extremist Al Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda terrorist group. Now, Syria is balkanized and the government is implementing forced displacement and ethnic cleansing. Clearing the FOG speaks with Dan Kovalik, co-author with Jeremy Kuzmarov of "Syria: Anatomy of Regime Change," about the long history of US interference in Syria, dating back to the 1946 coup, how the recent coup appeared to happen so rapidly and the current situation in Syria, as well as the impact of these events on the region.

El-Fasher’s Fall: A New Chapter in Darfur’s Ethnic Cleansing

October 30, 2025 Mosaab Baba, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Darfur, Ethnic cleansing, Genocide, RSF, Sudan

The capture of El-Fasher, North Darfur, by the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on October 26, 2025, marks a catastrophic turning point in Sudan's civil war and signals a chilling continuation of the region's decades-long pattern of ethnic cleansing. With over 260,000 civilians trapped in the besieged city, the fall of the Sudanese Armed Forces' (SAF) last major stronghold in Darfur has immediately led to horrifying reports of mass executions, widespread displacement, and the deepening of a humanitarian crisis already considered the world's worst. El-Fasher is more than just a capital city; it is the historic capital of the Darfur Sultanate and a critical gateway connecting Sudan to Central and West Africa.

Syrian Forces Evict Alawites From Damascus Neighborhood En Masse

Continuing the purge of Syria’s Alawite minority that began with large scale massacres back in March, Interior Ministry security forces have almost entirely depopulated the metro Damascus neighborhood of al-Somaria, which was up until the raids, an Alawite majority area. The raids began in late August, with security forces led by an Interior Ministry commander known as Abu Hudhayfah entering al-Somaria with guns and eviction orders. They went door to door and informed Alawite locals that they were living there illegally and demanded they prove otherwise. Those who couldn’t immediately document the ownership had their homes spray-painted with O’s, meaning they had to leave within 48 hours.

Syria: Over 3,000 Extrajudicial Executions Reported Since Sharaa’s Rise To Power

In the nine months since former Al-Qaeda commander Ahmad al-Sharaa took power in Syria, over 3,000 people have been extrajudicially executed by Syrian security forces and affiliated armed factions, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on 7 September. Between 8 December of last year and 6 September, SOHR documented the deaths of 10,672 people across the country in acts of violence and violations by local and foreign parties, including 3,020 people who were extrajudicially executed. “The fall of the Assad regime also coincided with unprecedented security chaos in all Syrian areas,” SOHR noted, resulting in the proliferation of “assassinations and political and sectarian-based massacres.”

Mossad Chief Pushes For US Assistance In Ethnically Cleansing Gaza

July 19, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, Gaza, Palestine, United States

David Barnea, the director of Israel's Mossad spy agency, held meetings in Washington this week seeking help from US officials to convince countries to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who Israel plans to ethnically cleanse from Gaza, Axios reported on 19 July. According to two sources, the Israeli spy chief told White House envoy Steve Witkoff that Israel has been in talks with Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Libya to accept Palestinians as refugees. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claims his government's goal of expelling much or all of Gaza's population will be "voluntary" for Palestinians, US and Israeli legal experts say it would constitute ethnic cleansing and a clear war crime.

Israel’s ‘Humanitarian City’ Plan

The Israeli government has just put forward one of the most brazenly genocidal schemes in modern memory — and unless we act immediately, the world will once again let it happen. As reported in Haaretz, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is proposing to force some 600,000 Palestinians — and eventually the entire population of Gaza — into a fenced-in “humanitarian city” to be built on the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza. The plan is to “screen” the population, separate out alleged Hamas members, and then pressure the remaining civilians — men, women, and children — to “voluntarily” leave Gaza for another country. Which country? That hasn’t even been determined.

Next Week, Trump And Netanyahu Will Meet To Plan ‘New Middle East’

U.S. President Donald Trump seems to have largely moved on from Iran and is now setting his sights on instituting a broader new order in the Middle East. Trump’s vision consists of an Israel-centric regional order that sees Iran and Hezbollah defeated and normalization with Israel spreading across the region, from Lebanon and Syria to Oman and Saudi Arabia. Joining him in creating this vision is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is slated to visit the White House on Monday. While there are potentially many obstacles to enacting this U.S./Israeli plan, it is clear that one focus is to quash any Palestinian aspirations for freedom.

US Firm Behind GHF Modeled ‘Voluntary Relocation’ Plan

A major US consulting firm, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), was tasked by Israeli backers to model the costs of "relocating" Palestinians from Gaza as part of a project "imagining" post-war Gaza reconstruction, a Financial Times (FT) investigation published on 5 July revealed. The complex financial model for the reconstruction of Gaza “included cost estimates for relocating hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from the strip and the economic impact of such a mass displacement.” In one scenario, Palestinians would be provided "voluntary relocation" packages valued at $9,000 per person, or $5 billion total. Each person would reportedly receive $5,000 in cash, subsidized rent for four years, and subsidized food for a year.

77 Years Of Dispossession: Everything You Need To Know About The Nakba

May 15, 2025 Nurah Tape, The Palestine Chronicle. Educate! Ethnic cleansing, Gaza, Genocide, History, Israel, Israeli war crimes, Palestine, The Nakba

May 15 marks the 77th anniversary of the Nakba — the destruction of historic Palestine, the catastrophe of dispossession, and the mass ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian population in 1948, which continues to this day. The Arabic word ‘Nakba’ means ‘catastrophe’, with this day designated as Nakba Day. The Balfour Declaration, a pledge by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour in November 1917, is regarded as one of the main catalysts for the Nakba. The pledge came in the form of a letter written on behalf of the British government by the then Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild, “a figurehead of the British Jewish community, for circulation among the Zionist Federation of Great Britain and Ireland,” according to the Geneva International Center for Justice.

The Fire This Time

We live in perilous times. The mobilizing passions of fascism are no longer a distant echo of history—they are here, surging through the United States like an electric current. We are in a period of social, ideological, and racial cleansing. First, the notion of government as a democratizing public good and institution of social responsibility—that once held power to account, protected the vulnerable, and nurtured the ideals of justice and collective responsibility—is being methodically destroyed. The common good, once seen as the essence of democratic life, has become the enemy of the neoliberal fascist state. It is not merely being neglected—it is being assaulted, stripped bare, and left to rot in the shadows of privatization, greed, and brutality—the main features of gangster capitalism.

Sectarian Violence Sweeps Syria

At least 147 people have been killed in Syria in the past two days, as security forces from the country's Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) – led government carried out a series of massacres and extrajudicial executions against Alawites in the country's coastal regions as part of a broader security campaign to target remnants of the former Syrian Arab Army (SAA). Videos of many instances of extrajudicial killings have been posted to social media showing HTS militants from the government of Ahmad al-Sharaa, the former Al-Qaeda in Iraq commander, killing unarmed Alawites in cold blood.

Rift Between Trump And Netanyahu Leaves Opening For Arab States

March 8, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. Educate! Arab States, Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Ethnic cleansing, Gaza, Hamas, Israel, Palestine

There was an easy way to determine whether the United States, under both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, was sincerely interested in putting an end to Israel’s onslaught in Gaza. All they needed to do was put together a sensible ceasefire plan and put their political weight behind it. Instead, Biden came up with a convoluted three-stage plan that contained every opportunity for either side to sabotage it, and Trump ran with it. Hamas, of course, has no reason to sabotage the agreement. The Israeli genocide has essentially leveled most of Gaza, the people are suffering immensely, and Hamas has nothing to gain but still has something to lose by the genocide continuing.

Slow Motion Ethnic Cleansing In Hebron

March 3, 2025 Ken Jones, Counter Punch. Educate! Ethnic cleansing, Gaza, Genocide, Hebron, Israel, Jenin, Palestine

“Tell our story!” the man in the checkpoint cage yelled, in English. He and a crowd of Palestinian Muslim men were jammed together waiting to be checked out, one at a time, by an Israeli soldier in a glass booth so they could go into Hebron’s Ibrahimi Mosque to pray. Such daily and routine humiliation is the hallmark of the Israeli occupation. I was in Hebron (Al-Khalil) for two weeks recently as part of a Community Peacemaker Team (CPT) delegation. Every day, we accompanied or heard testimony from people living there who were living under the guns of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and the aggressive hostility of the 800 settlers who claim that the city of 200,000 was given to them by their god.

Forced Displacement Of Palestinians From West Bank ‘Largest Since 1967’

February 17, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Displacement, Ethnic cleansing, Israel, Occupation, Palestine, US Imperialism

The mass displacement carried out by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank is the largest since 1967, according to experts cited by the New York Times (NYT) on 17 February. “What makes this moment unprecedented is not only the scale of the displacement but also the accompanying discourse, which increasingly normalizes the idea of permanent forced displacement,” said Maha Nassar, a Palestinian historian at the University of Arizona. “This represents a significant escalation in the longstanding conflict, one that threatens to fundamentally alter the political and demographic landscape of the region,” she went on to say.

Mass Deportation As Ethnic Cleansing: On The Ongoing War

February 13, 2025 Iker Suarez, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Ethnic cleansing, Immigration, Latin America, Mass Deportation, Neocolonialism

The Trump raids have begun . In many ways, nothing is new. Despite liberals’ best attempts at depicting Trump’s policy as qualitatively different, what we are witnessing is merely an intensification of the bipartisan U.S. deportation regime. In other words, “mass deportation” chants might be new, but mass deportations aren’t. During his first term in office, Trump deported fewer people than all previous three administrations. Later, Biden deported twice as many people as Trump. The only thing that substantively changes under the latter is the visibility of these processes. In short, liberals now care. Time for new photo-ops and selective outrage—if that.
