I see almost no reports about the either massacre of #Druze in #Syria by Sunni militias, or (alternative description) clashes between Druze militias and Sunni militias in Syria.

In fact, I saw two reports of related events and all they reported was about the Israeli attacks on Syria that followed.

There have been extensive protests by Druze in Israel urging the Israeli government to help the Druze in Syria against attacks by the Sunni majority and specifically Jihadist militias.

So what did Netanyahu do in the face of a wave of protests: start a war. launched an attack on the #Gaza Strip. And later launched attacks on #Lebanon and intensified attacks on #Syria.

It did help to partially quell the protests. It did somewhat break their momentum and they failed to create a general strike or something close to it.

Note: this is certainly not the single goal of the recent attacks. It is also an excuse for some parts of the government of the more lunatic nature (BTW: Katz is not lunatic by nature. He just follows Netanyahu's orders to cooperate with the lunatics).
