So HTS decides to massacare Alawites and try to exterminate the Shiites of Lebanon but they won't fight Israel who is currently occupying their country?

Of course Jolani is just trying to make a stable situation for Syria according to his supporters. What a ridiculous farce.

The only stability HTS seeks is one born from the eradication of all minorities within Syria, and they don't care what it takes to get to that point. They'd give up the entire country to finally be rid of the "Mushrik" and "Kafir" which shows where their loyalty truly lies.

Al jazeera is more effective than those mind control fungi.

Considering there are few Arabic mainstream news networks that aren't funded by US vassels, it's honestly not unexpected that people would be fooled. They have no counter narrative, and never even interact with Shiites unless they are in a country that has a sizable population if them.

It's still infuriating seeing my Sunni companions snub me over a sectarian farce, because they'd rather believe the largely corrupt Gulf funded media over siding with Iran.

Though today the media landscape is quite different. Online media like telegram, whatsapp, and social media have a larger influence then mainstream media I believe, so perhaps these efforts are losing their effectiveness.

Unfortunately, AJ has gained a lot of clout from their Palestine coverage, which they are utilizing to deceive the masses.

I'd say the material reality of Israel's actions would be the largest motivator, but I'm not sure the sectarian hatred can be overcome.
