  • This is Palmyra, in Syria, one of the World's most famous historical sites and unfortunately, a place that in 2023, is more famous that is more famous a one of the Most Destroyed Historical sites on Planet Earth. Traveling in Syria in 2023, you can't avoid the damage of the last 12 years, but you also see that life here is very slowly recovering and returning to normal. Nowhere is the effort to rebuild the country more evident than in ancient city of Palmyra, the pearl of Syria.

      ISIS is creation of Israel with funding from United States of America. The mission of ISIS was two part. First, in Iraq to punish the iraqi government for NOT giving the rebuilding contracts to US and British companies but instead the contracts were awarded to china and Brazil and a few other countries but most China outbid all other companies. Second part for the work of ISIS was remove the Syrian government under Bashar al Assad and install a puppet government that would turn Syria into another iraq with destruction of everything. Destruction of major historic sites such as Palmyra was intention by Israel because Syria is a major competitor for Israel as to religious and historic sites tourism. Israel took the opportunity to destroy not only major infrastructure of the country but also its historic sites and killed people who knew this history such as the man mentioned 8n this video in order to completely wipe out the place and to deviate all tourism dollars towards Israel. Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars

On a happier note, you captured the essence of Syrians, a most welcoming and friendly people. Of course their native dishes are "mouthwatering", your lunch in the car had me "drooling".

    To try to erase History is the ultimate tragedy. And the zealots who chose to destroy people's lives and homes. It's sad and a wakeup call for all of us to stay aware.
    The video was and storytelling was documented so well. It's difficult to fathom why a group of people would do such a thing. It brought tears to our eyes. It's a story that needed to be told.

Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars. The hosting and project coordination for this effort was by Turkey's Erdogan who took the opportunity to invade northern Syria and killing christian cities and Kurdish villages but he failed to finish his job so that's why US was angry towards him and portrayed him as the aggressor in the region. Erdogan knew that USA was digging up a hole for him similar to the hole they dug up for Saddam Hussein when they green lighted for him the invasion. So Erdogan is back to playing his political and military moves in the region safe. That's the summary of it. Now you know the truth behind it and you can put together the pieces of the puzzle 🧩 🧩 for the reason for creation of ISIS, its origin, intended work and major players in this so called civil war. How it ended? When Russia started to bomb ISIS locations and cells. Russian intervention in this war revealed that the US and Israel were the creators, incubators, and hosting forces for ISIS in the region. American news agencies went blank and silent about this subject because they were shown as the criminals to the whole world

Is there any chance of it being restored or is it still to unstable there. I hate to think of it being attacked again. We all forget we are living someones history.

      ISIS is creation of Israel with funding from United States of America. The mission of ISIS was two part. First, in Iraq to punish the iraqi government for NOT giving the rebuilding contracts to US and British companies but instead the contracts were awarded to china and Brazil and a few other countries but most China outbid all other companies. Second part for the work of ISIS was remove the Syrian government under Bashar al Assad and install a puppet government that would turn Syria into another iraq with destruction of everything. Destruction of major historic sites such as Palmyra was intention by Israel because Syria is a major competitor for Israel as to religious and historic sites tourism. Israel took the opportunity to destroy not only major infrastructure of the country but also its historic sites and killed people who knew this history such as the man mentioned 8n this video in order to completely wipe out the place and to deviate all tourism dollars towards Israel. Let's not forget that each one of these countries in this region is a major historical attraction site that brings millions of tourists and billions of tourism dollars

    It’s just so sad to think of those precious older cities were completely destroyed by people. It’s hard to understand such destruction by other human beings. It’s truly sad. The people that live there have to live with that destruction every single day. I can’t imagine the feelings they have to deal with every day. I can’t think of the right words, just sadness. To think these cities have stood for hundreds of years and then in a vengeful act during war all of it is destroyed. Thanks for sharing with us.

    Devastating. And because it is all so recent one has to think too of the devastation of the ordinary lives of Syrian people. What a reminder of just how fragile the world is at our hands. By that I mean humanity at its most destructive. Thanks for the video. I watched the first reports of these events with whatever news could come out of Syria, but nothing brings home the scale of destruction like this. And the sheer bloody senselessness of it all.

    Although I perfectly understand wanting to restore and rebuild this city to its once former glory, I don't think they should for 2 main reasons:
    A) Even if the city was perfectly restored to the way it was before it was destroyed, it just wouldn't be the same,
    and B) I feel as though it would be like trying to hide the bruises and scars inflicted upon you from an abusive partner. (If you cover up the pain, you'll never be able to get help, heal, and move on with your life...)
    Pain, unfortunately, is an essential part of life; it's a constant reminder that we are alive, but it's also a constant reminder of just how destructive we can be and that we should strive never to be like that!

    Heartbreaking, shocking, unimaginable are the epithets which come to mind. Loss and chaos created by a radicalized force. Contrary to the common belief, more often than not, ISIS recruits were educated and wealthy people, not people struck by poverty and uneducated. This makes this particular destruction of the site of humanity's great wealth somehow even more incomprehensible.

    You look at the countries Middle East and the Mediterranean as they once were and see that they were the 'seat' of civilisation. Engineering, mathematics, architecture, astronomy, navigation, medicine etc, were all highly advanced for the time. When you look at them now and even without the effects of more modern warfare, you wonder what happened. The discontinuation of progress and they're demise seems to have started over a thousand years ago.

In other words, extermination of nonbelievers is the only way to achieve the Muslim notion of "peace."

Чтобы слишком не палиться, каждые пару месяцев меняли название, сначала было что-то типа «Джабхат Аль Нусра», через полгода еще как-то. Командиры одни и те же. И базы США всегда поблизости были, буквально соседние населенные пункты, но ни разу не видел, чтобы армия США воевала с ними. А вот как прикрытие боевиков они частенько выступали.
