Okay, if even Aaron Mate drops his support for #Chomsky then it signals that the “world’s brightest intellectual” became a friend so toxic that even scumbags who built their whole career on systematic denial of #Assad war crimes in #Syria like Mate consider him a liability. Both Mate and Chomsky never missed any opportunity to deny and justify (in that order) any possible war crime conducted by Russia or other regimes as long as they were declared anti-Western attitude. Chomsky started early, by fiercely denying Khmer Rouge genocide in Cambodia in 1970’s.

"Decades after almost the entire #Syrian #Jewish community left the country, Henry Hamra of #Brooklyn, #NY, stands at the metal door of a small #synagogue in this ancient Syrian city, literally holding the keys to a possible return of Jewish citizens.

Hamra was 15 years old when his family left #Damascus in the early 1990s after the #Assad regime lifted a ban on travel. Many of the Syrian #Jews were unable to sell their homes before they left. Some of the homes ended up occupied by other Syrians while the government took charge of the #synagogues and #schools.

In December, just days before Hamra's visit to #Aleppo, the Syrian government licensed a Jewish heritage foundation he leads, transferring control of Jewish #religious properties from the government to the organization.

The organization will also help restore private property appropriated when the Jewish community left to its Jewish owners."

« En décembre 2024, à la suite de l’effondrement éclair du régime syrien de #BacharElAssad, plusieurs milliers de hauts responsables politiques, sécuritaires et militaires ont fui le pays dans la précipitation vers d’autres destinations. [...]

Nous avons tenté de comprendre comment ces hommes sont partis du pays, et où ils se trouvent désormais. »
