    I don’t get any of this. I just know Netanjahu from the picture. What’s even the original meme?

        Thanks! Who’s the guy and what’s the flag, if you don’t mind me asking?

          The flag is the Druze flag, and the guy on the left is Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, leader of HTS and current president of Syria

            Thanks! After skimming https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druze I still don’t get it. Seems they are a minority in Syria, despite their contributions to toppling al-Assad.

              I believe it’s about how Israel is invading southwestern Syria under the pretence of protecting the Druze community there. There have been a couple of small skirmishes between local Druze fighters and the new Syrian government, but it seems like Israel is basically testing whether or not it can pseudo-annex the area like it did with the adjacent Golan Heights
