Why does the success of Syria's own sons surprise some?

The "Deterrence of Aggression" operation launched by the Syrian opposition in the countryside of Aleppo soon advanced in a direction in which first Aleppo and then all the cities of Syria fell like a run in a stocking. Aleppo, Tell, Rifaat, Idlib, Hama, Homs, Deir ez-Zor, Daraa, and then the gates of Damascus too were reached. It was thus clearly seen that without the support of Russia and Iran the regime had no base among the people and no support against the people's revolt.

Faced with the opposition's advance at this speed and Assad's collapse at the same speed, the usual conspiratorial mind immediately sprang into action and began to put forward buttons pressed somewhere. It goes without saying that all the buttons meant and put forward have no reality other than a magnificent imagination. The usual conspiracy actor here is the US, even Israel. As if such a large operation could not have taken place without the permission, even the direction and support, of these powers.

Yet anyone who uses his mind a little, who opens his eyes just a bit, would see the fact that the strongest support that has kept Assad on his feet up to this point again came from the US and Israel. We all saw together how the US, which supposedly came to Syria to overthrow the bloody-handed Assad, a criminal against humanity, suddenly changed course and put into play the scenario of fighting DAESH that it had brought along with it. In this way the US settled in Syria and, in the name of fighting the DAESH it had itself produced, by arming JPG gave Assad priceless support. Does the fact that today Assad's forces hand over to YPG every place from which they withdraw not sufficiently show that there is no rift or discord between them?

Today, was there any change in any of Assad's stances or policies that would require the US to give him up, or was there one and we missed it? For Israel too, Assad, even if they struck him from time to time, was a dictator they loved very much. After all, he was killing more Muslims than they themselves could kill.

When the revolt of the Syrian people began, in fact, the change of the Syrian regime had come very close to being a matter of moments. At that time, the US above all, Iran, Hezbollah, the DAESH plot (this was a real plot, mind you) and the Russian bombardments reversed the situation in a short time. These forces that came into play directly targeted civilians and repelled the revolution by putting into play unbelievable mass massacres and techniques of mass destruction.

Today, however, it is understood that the opposition has drawn very good lessons from all the mistakes of the past, that it is acting in a very coordinated and consistent manner within itself, and that it has prepared very well for this operation. It is already very well prepared militarily, but even more important than that, through the messages they give to the people in the areas they have rescued from the regime, they explain very well that they are the true children of Syria and that their only aim is to deliver, together with the Syrian people, the land from the tyranny of this criminal regime.

The enthusiastic welcome of the people in the areas they have liberated allows us to see scenes of deliverance from captivity, long awaited and awaited with longing. The images of the rescue of hundreds of people who had been held in dungeons since 1982 in Hama are in themselves an important sign of how organically this process is working.

After entering Aleppo, the speech that M. Ahmet al-Dalati, one of the leaders of one of the groups conducting the operation, addressed to the congregation after a noon prayer shows very well how authentic and how conscious this opposition is. There is no trace of arrogance; the weapon he carries and the victory he has won have not led to the slightest conceit or excess; on the contrary, with all humility he begins his speech by giving thanks to God who has brought them together with this people. He speaks of the oppression Assad inflicted on them for years and of how events came to this point. Then he says, in summary:

"For Bashar al-Assad and his family to remain in power, they were a sectarian family, that is, there is no harm in their being a sect. The problem is sectarian bigotry and killing on a sectarian basis. That is, he remained attached to his own sect in order to demean us and to enslave the Sunnis throughout Syria. He and his father established over us for 40 years a tyrannical regime, an oppressive regime and a security regime. Raising your head is forbidden; in their eyes you should only be slaves. This is why we parted ways, this is why we stood against the Assad regime.

By the grace of the Almighty God, by His blessings upon us, we are now in the Aleppo of tradition, the Aleppo of truth, the Aleppo of civilization, the Aleppo of culture, the Aleppo of history, the Aleppo of industry. Aleppo is the jewel of the Levant, and therefore conquest is not by stones (weapons) but conquest is by people. You are from us and you are from us, and we are from you and among you, and we are your children, we are your children, and the people are your people.

We affirm that the instructions of the Military Operations Command are decisive and clear: Even if he belongs to any sect, not only a Muslim but a Christian, an Armenian or anyone else, it is forbidden to harm his property or to enter his property without permission. All kinds of sects exist in Aleppo. They are the Syrian people, they are our people. No one may touch their blood, their money, their property.

...We are people of a message, people of a call. We, God forbid, are neither thirsty for blood nor thirsty for position.

We all have a great responsibility to build our country, a free Syria, a Syria for all Syrians. Today Syrians are displaced all over the world. More than 12 million Syrians have been displaced.

My brothers, we have dedicated our blood for the sake of the Almighty God, to liberate our homeland and to liberate you. We are neither fond of your property nor your livelihood, nor are we greedy for your country. Our nation is a great nation and our religion is a great religion that gives a great message. Almighty God sent Muhammad (pbuh), the final message, as a mercy to the worlds, to Muslims and non-Muslims. Today the whole world is living in an atmosphere of tyranny and chaos and oppression at the level of tyranny, and Muslims are being oppressed in every corner of the world.

You are safe, your family is safe, your neighbors are safe, your children are safe and your country is safe; by the permission of Almighty God, we are your brothers, we will not leave you halfway, we will not oppress you. May God protect you, bless you, and accept from us and from you, God willing."

For God's sake, does one need to look elsewhere to see the power behind the revolution? Could the US or Israel have anything remotely to do with this peak of humanity and values, this consciousness, this approach of compassion and tenderness? Would the US, which has deemed fitting for Muslims nothing but bloodshed and dictatorships,

support such an approach? There is reason, there is sense.
