ILTV Remembers Syria's Devious President Was Terrorist

 Nadene Goldfoot                                                 

Abu Mohammed al-Jolani spoke to supporters at the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus hours after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad

ILTV agrees with my past statements that the present Syrian President, Jolani, real name is Ahmed al-Sharaa (sometimes spelled Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa).  He previously used the nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Jolani.  Jolani is not to be forgotten that his whole life has been spent being a terrorist, and a leader at that of terrorism.  Trump seems to have forgotten this little fact in his dealings with him.  Of course, Trump likes people who can force others to do his bidding.  
Doesn't Trump know that Jolani's journey as a jihadist began in Iraq, linked to al-Qaeda through the Islamic State (IS) group's precursor - al-Qaeda in Iraq and, later, the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI).

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa accused Israel on Saturday of “exporting crises” to other countries as a way to divert attention from the “horrifying massacres” it is committing in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Addressing the Doha Forum in the Qatari capital, Sharaa claimed that Israel was attempting to justify its actions against several Middle Eastern countries under the false pretext of “security concerns”.

“Israel… tries to run away from the horrifying massacres committed in Gaza, and it does so by attempting to export crises,” Sharaa said in conversation with CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour.
Now we see Amanpour diving into aping what a terrorist says
about Israel as the gospel truth like Nicholas Kristof has done.

After the 2003 US-led invasion, he joined other foreign fighters in Iraq and, in 2005, was imprisoned at Camp Bucca, where he enhanced his jihadist affiliations and later on was introduced to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the quiet scholar who would later go on to lead IS.

In 2011, Baghdadi sent Jolani to Syria with funding to establish al-Nusra Front, a covert faction tied to ISI. By 2012, Nusra had become a prominent Syrian fighting force, hiding its IS and al-Qaeda ties.


Lately, The Syrian government has been continuously demanding a full withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Syria. Damascus condemns these Israeli ground incursions, military operations, and detentions in areas such as Quneitra as blatant violations of Syrian sovereignty. 
Syrian officials are actively pursuing a security agreement that would secure the withdrawal of Israeli forces to the 1974 ceasefire lines, while pausing broader negotiations over the Golan Heights. The Syrian government continues to press the international community and the United Nations to pressure Israel into halting its military footprint in the region. 
  • Diplomatic Stance: While Damascus has chosen a diplomatic route to avoid further escalation after years of civil conflict, al-Sharaa states that negotiations are incredibly difficult. He has strongly rejected any recognition of Israeli control over the Golan Heights.
  • The 1974 Baseline: Syria's core demand is that Israel must strictly adhere to the 1974 disengagement agreements and withdraw from any areas its forces have penetrated.
  • Current Status: Syrian officials maintain they are seeking a security agreement to guarantee a withdrawal, but note progress is severely hampered by Israel's insistence on maintaining a presence and creating a wide buffer zone on Syrian soil.
  • This admiration for the strong horse, Jolani aka Sharaa,  is a middle-east social way of life that is normal for Trump lately.  It's going to backfire and lose him a lot of votes.  We don't all go for the strongest but the one most admirable and moral.  
    ILTV (Israel News) coverage of Ahmad al-Sharaa (Abu Mohammad al-Jolani) and the Syrian transition government highlights his shifting demands regarding Israel. Their programming analyzes his calls for an Israeli withdrawal from Syrian territories, alongside his parallel push for U.S.-backed negotiations and Syria's evolving role in the region.
  • The Withdrawal Demand: ILTV has covered Jolani's demands for the IDF to pull back from the strategic buffer zones and heights seized in southern Syria, presenting this as a complex geopolitical hurdle.
  • U.S. Mediation & Peace Deals: Broadcasts explore the diplomatic efforts, reportedly mediated by the U.S. and UAE, evaluating whether these negotiations could transition into a non-aggression pact or normalization.

  • Geopolitical Leverage: Commentary examines the pressure on the transitional Syrian leadership to secure Israeli concessions, the high-ground leverage in the Golan Heights, and the risks of domestic backlash.  All this procedure is wasted time spent expecting a terrorist with ultimate goals pertaining only to him to be valued.  They go through wasted  motions probably hoping to get cheesecake at the end of such meetings.

    Iran-born Christiane Amanpour's Explanation of Starvation in Gaza So Slanted

    Nadene Goldfoot                                                      

                                               Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (26 October 1919 – 27 July 1980) was the last shah of Iran. In 1941, he succeeded his father Reza Shah and ruled the Imperial State of Iran until 1979 when the Iranian Revolution overthrew him, abolished the monarchy, and established the Islamic Republic of Iran.                                         

             Ruhollah Musavi Khomeini (17 May 1900 or 24 September 1902 – 3 June 1989)

                                                                              

       Ali  Hosseini Khamenei  born 19 April 1939) is an Iranian cleric and politician who has served as the second supreme leader of Iran since 1989.

    Ever since the Shah of Iran was deposed in 1979  and the Ayatollah's stepped into leading Iran's politics, Israel was in danger of its existence.  This is the Shi'ite group of Islam bound and determined to wipe out the Jews forever.

    Christiane Amanpour seems to bend to the Iranian politics.  Christiane Maria Heideh Amanpour (born 12 January 1958) is a 67 year old  British-Iranian journalist and television host. Amanpour is the Chief International Anchor for CNN and host of CNN International's nightly interview program Amanpour and CNN's The Amanpour Hour on Saturdays. She also hosts Amanpour & Company on PBS. 

    Amanpour was born in the West London suburb of Ealing, the daughter of Mohammad Taghi Amanpour (Iranian) and Anne Patricia Hill (British). She was baptised at the Church of Saint Benedict in Ealing and was raised in Tehran until the age of eleven. Her father was Shia Muslim and her mother was Roman Catholic. So her environment from birth to age 11 was Tehran, Iran under the roof of her father,though only baptised in the Catholic Church.    

    Her father worked as an airline executive for Iran Air and later lost his job and fortune after the Iran Revolution in 1979.   After completing the more significant part of her primary school education in Iran, her parents sent her to private boarding schools in England when she was 11.  

    After finishing her education in England in Catholic schools, , Amanpour returned to Iran. Due to the Iranian Revolution, she and her family moved in 1979 when the Shah was dethroned to the United States where she studied journalism at the University of Rhode Island.

    Did some of her Tehran vibrations affect her feelings towards Jews or Israel in her reporting?  In April 2023, only 2 years ago and a few months before the October 7th Gazan attack on Israel, Amanpour misspoke and said that Israeli shooting victims Lucy, Maia and Rina Dee had been killed in a "shootout" instead of a "shooting," while the family was travelling in a car in the West Bank. Amanpour contacted the father of the family to personally apologize for misspeaking and subsequently did the same on her show.  She should have said  "attack" and Judea and Samaria instead of West Bank. How could she have called such a massacre, the worst in modern ages, be called a  shootout?  A shootout would imply both cars were shooting at each other. 

    On 7 April 2023, unknown assailants opening fire from their vehicle on a nearby Israeli vehicle, at the Hamra junction, located in Highway 57. The attack was later claimed by the Al-Qassam Brigades. The Israeli vehicle carried 3 family members from Efrat, a 40-year-old mother and her two daughters, both in their 20s.

    The police concluded that the incident was caused by a "suspected Palestinian gunman", while traveling in a car in the West Bank. The victims were reportedly shot a total of 22 times with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, first while driving, and then at short range after crashing.

    Both sisters were announced dead on the scene by the Magen David Adom, while the critically injured mother was transported to Hadassa Ein Karem hospital in Jerusalem by helicopter, where she died. The victims were buried in Kfar Etzion; Lucy's organs were donated to five recipients.

    There was an upsurge in violence in Israel during April 2023, during which EasterPassover and Ramadan unusually coincided. On 5 April the 2023 Al-Aqsa clashes, on 6 April the 2023 Israel–Lebanon shellings and on 7 April the 2023 Tel Aviv car-ramming.  How could this reporter call an attack of 22 bullets in their bodies a car ramming??? Especially when this happened in Judea and Samaria???

    Getting back to Amanpour, she spoke on CNN blaming Israel for starvation of the population in Gaza.  That was it;  a line saying Israel was responsible for the starvation in Gaza.  She also showed starvation going on in abundance in Africa as well with babies dying of malnutrition, at age 1 1/2 weighing 12 lbs or so; connecting the two thoughts.  Not a word about the fact that Israel does everything in their power as the country attacked by the Gazans through Iran's power to wipe out Israel in the first place, and yet she expects, and Israel has been bringing in food, been bringing in food by the truckful for the Gazan populace not involved in their destruction completely, only partially by backing these terrorists in the first place such as Hamas.  Hamas steals the food and sells it back at high prices to those who can pay; they feed upon the food-marking it only for Hamas terrorists;   the more Gazans that die, the better Hamas fares...Absurd logic practiced by a warped people.  Hamas only wants the power they have to show to Iran  how great they are !!!
    Anti-Semitism causing:

    Viennese pedestrians view a large Nazi sign posted on a restaurant window informing the public that this business is run by an organization of the Nazi Party and that Jews are not welcome. Vienna, Austria, March-April 1938.  By 1939 Germany marched in Poland for the takeover and killing of Jews.  

    Oh no, she couldn't bring herself to keep from creating more anti-Israel, which also means anti-Semitism in the world.  

    Seems like I've written about her ever since she started being on TV with how she faults Israel all the time without cause.  Upon checking my genealogy tree, I happen to have 37 Hill people on my tree, who managed to leave England for New York and Vermont-more in Vermont.
