Israel’s military is organising hiking tours for civilians in newly occupied Syrian territory during the Passover holiday, local media has reported. The twice-daily tours in the contested Golan Heights will run for a week beginning this Sunday. Tickets sold out almost immediately.

Under a military escort in bulletproof buses, small groups will travel up to 2.5km into Syrian territory that was off limits until the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) seized the Golan buffer zone after the fall of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in December. Israel has occupied the Golan Heights since 1967 and now controls hundreds more square kilometres of Syrian land.

Tourist tours seems redundant.

How ghoulish

Would be a shame if they hit an IED or something.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 8 points 17 hours ago

That would just give them an excuse to go deeper into Syria. They're not above getting a bunch of their own civilians killed to be able to retaliate.

Annexed under the excuse of "buffer zone".

I don't know if we have a proper word for it in english. Stolen with murder, lies, and terrorist attacks, while most western cuck governments either aided and abbetted the crimes or stood by after being paid off.

If it will soon be exploded, someone will say "I told them!"

It's like they use themselves as guinea pigs, and they go on because they are like visioners, they think like "all of this will become our land, I might die today but my son migh live here tomorrow".

Religion is a helluva drug

Zionism is a fascist political ideology, not a religion.

[–] HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

You nailed it

Zionism has nothing to do with religion at all

Totally nothing to do with the establishment of a state for a particular religion /s
