Where did the winds of the Revolution blow from, and where are they striking?

We see that the revolution that took place in Syria has suddenly set very strong winds blowing, not only in Syria, not even only in the Middle East, but throughout the world, and it appears that from now on we will see a little more of it every day. But let us not forget from the very start that one of the most important factors that set this wind in motion is the Al-Aqsa Flood. We know the winds set in motion around the world by the butterfly effect. Here we can appreciate that a flood will lead to far greater changes. The Al-Aqsa Flood had very important effects on the US, Israel, Iran, Russia, Europe, the Gulf countries and the Syrian regime itself; it set their forces in motion, wore down enemies, and among friends gave rise to great excitement and a revival of the spirit of resistance.
The children of Syria did not live in an atmosphere far removed from the children of the Qassam Brigades. They were in a position to know best what they went through and what they were struggling for. But in the course of this process, with the displacement of the Syria-Israel-Russia-Iran-Hezbollah relations that had somehow reached a stable state until now, very great opportunities arose for the Syrian revolution.
Let some people go on shamelessly saying that the Syrian revolution was supported by the usual conspirators precisely because of these gaps. Does it not also awaken them that Zionist Israel, in the panic it fell into with the fall of Assad in Syria, began to attack Syrian territory?
The Baath regime had been, from the beginning, a government always preferred by Israel. Israel and the US had no reason to give up Assad. He did not have the will to make even a noise that would threaten Israel's security. He was just the puppet government the US and Israel wanted. Even in his relationship with Iran, he was shifty enough to sell Israeli intelligence all the information it needed.
Do you suppose the intelligence for all the operations carried out against Hezbollah was supplied only by Mossad's own ingenuity? Should those with even a little doubt not understand something from the fact that the first thing Israel did, in the very hours when Damascus passed into the hands of Syria's owners, was to bomb the Syrian intelligence center? What information was Israel afraid would come out of this intelligence center?
The last service Assad rendered in the name of servility to Israel, in the hours when he fled to Russia taking billions of dollars of the Syrian people's money, was to hand over to Israel the weapons in the buffer zone at the foot of the Golan. Then, does Israel's subsequent entry into that buffer zone, so that it would not fall into the hands of the opposition, not show that until now that area was sufficiently safe and free of danger for them? After that came its attacks targeting some heavy weapons and chemical production centers that it had learned of in Tartus and Latakia. These weapons were already in the hands of the Baath regime, which had been cooperating with Iran until now. Why, until now, was it never afraid they could be used against it, yet fell into this panic and set about destroying them precisely when they passed into the hands of the opposition? Because there was no real enmity between the Baath regime and Israel, and Assad's overthrow has by no means pleased Israel, which carries out genocide against the people of Gaza, as is supposed; on the contrary, it has driven it into great anxiety.
The Qassam Brigades mujahideen who came out of the Sednaya dungeons, where the blackest crimes against humanity in human history were committed, must also have given the proper answer to those who commemorate Assad for his support to the Palestinian cause. No distinction at all was made in the inhuman treatment shown to the mujahideen belonging to the Qassam Brigades. It turns out that the people whom the regime savagely massacred with barrel bombs, Russian warplanes, Iran and its own shabbiha were very simple compared with the murders committed in this prison.
The revolutionary dimension of the change in Syria is also immediately making itself felt in terms of the new balances of power whose way it has opened. We have said it before. Within a period of 12 days, all projections both regarding the country and regarding the whole region have changed. Syria's territorial integrity had ceased to be even a possibility; now it is on the way to being realized. The US said it will continue to work in Syria, but the stirrings in the streets, which have found courage and horizon from the revolution that has taken place, will soon show that in this matter it cannot rely only on the PKK it has armed. As its warnings regarding Manbij at the outset have been left without any value on the ground, it will begin to see the same in Deir ez-Zor too, with the stirring of the tribes who are the very inhabitants and owners of the region. From this hour on, no project or actor has any chance of existing in Syria against the Syrian people who have taken control.
The images emerging from Sednaya prison will slam a very basic and human question in the face of the US: While all these inhuman crimes were being committed, your concern was to create a new area with terrorist organizations in the name of combating the phantom DAESH. Even if the DAESH it produced itself were a real problem, could it have posed a danger more terrifying than the hell Assad had created himself? What human value did your struggle against DAESH as a terrorist organization produce, and whom did it protect from whom?
DAESH was a phantom problem, but the crimes Assad committed were real; their blood was flowing, their smoke was rising, they were taking away breath and killing humanity, and these were not a secret even to ordinary people. If the US, which has been in Syria with all its forces for at least 10 years, had any value such as fighting terror or inhuman crimes, it would not have remained silent about these events, but it did. From this hour on, to whom and how will it explain its presence in Hasakah and Raqqa in the name of fighting terror. Moreover, the worse news for them is that the true children of Syria have taken the situation in hand and do not want it there. It will take its PKK and go.
The situation in Syria will require everyone to re-examine their calculations. Syria will now exist in the equation as an important actor that changes the atmosphere, and the existence of this actor opens a very important field first of all for Turkey. Let us remember: up to 12 days ago, the difficulties and hardships Turkey faced in terms of the terror problem, the migration problem and its influence in the Middle East have, at the hands of a Revolution, resulted in a situation in which only the rightful, the peoples of Syria and Turkey, have won. If this is not destiny above destiny, calculation above calculations, what is it?
