According to Australia's ABC, it' all good.
Listening to ABC's Radio National this morning they had a couple on the show "God Forbid", a couple of "Syrian-Australians", whose names escape me for now. Both thought the downfall of Assad was all good. And no doubt getting rid of a murderous dictator, responsible for a civil war that took 500,000 lives, is indeed good.
The commented on the Islamist-terrorist group that took control. An outfit that goes by the acronym HTS. Which I learned about just two minutes ago. But thanks to Google I'm an instant expert. They don't seem to be a very nice bunch at all. But still...
The main thing missing from their half hour of commenteering was that the reason for the downfall of Assad was down to Israel, weakening Assad's grip by weakening Assad's main supporer, Iran, by weakening Iran's proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis.
Also not mentioned: that the Druze on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights want to be taken over by Israel. Because Israel is the only country in the region that treats its minorities well. Not mentioned. Because it's something nice about Israel, and the ABC doesn't do nice when it comes to Israel.
Oh well. But still, what it does is not fully inform people that listen only to the ABC. There are very many of those. Just as there are so many in the US that watch only CNN, MSNBC, abc, or whatever, and never, ever Fox. You miss a lot.
Also: it's not necessarily all good in Syria. Leo Kearse talks the downside.
