      MEMRI is an op, but to completely disregard anything and everything they say is ridiculous. We have a responsibility to police ourselves, and ignoring the flaws of our “critical” allies that we critically support gives the enemy opportunity to exploit.

        Yeah I already wrote a comment about this before this one. Just pointing out that MEMRI is completely unreliable. And the headline itself, promoted by them, is bullshit. The contents is where you find some actually problematic statements, though they are in no way new for Assad.

      Bro, there were other channels who reported the same. He also said about Khazar jews who were pagans and got converted into Judaism. These are popular tropes in mainstream right wing islamic community to deny the very existence of judaism and jewish people as a whole.

        Yes I know I pointed this out in a different comment first. Just wanted to clarify MEMRI’s status as absolute trash that will always paint Israel’s perceived enemies in the worst possible light, both through uncharitable translations and misleading editorialization on meanings.
