Al Jazeera Discovers 'Destabilization' Only Happens From Within
Al Jazeera's latest scoop 'reveals' Syrian regime officers are plotting to 'destabilize Syria.' One might wonder how much more 'destabilized' a country can get after years of proxy wars, foreign occupation, and sanctions choking its economy. The piece focuses on Suheil al-Hassan’s discussions regarding Israeli support and regrouping efforts, framing it as an internal plot. Yet, Al Jazeera often
neglects to contextualize that 'destabilization' for Syria began with significant external state sponsorship of armed groups since at least 2011. Qatar, a major funder of Al Jazeera, alongside Saudi Arabia and the U.S., openly funded various opposition groups for years, as documented by reports from the Brookings Institution and leaked Hillary Clinton emails. One might ask if those billions of
dollars and sophisticated weaponry were intended to *stabilize* the country. How many 'plots' does it take before we acknowledge the obvious architects?
