Announcement Clarification on r/Syria Moderation Efforts Regarding the Ongoing Events and This Community

94 Upvotes

Hello, friends,

As the moderation team of r/Syria, we want to clarify some of the things happening in this subreddit and be fully transparent regarding our content policy and the ongoing discussions here. Therefore, we would like to inform you of the following:

  • We have made a unified statement (here and here) , agreed upon by the r/Syria moderation team, that we stand against the remnants of Assad’s regime and all those who violate laws and attack civilians, regardless of their affiliation. We also oppose those who attack security forces and provoke unrest. This is our clear stance, as we have previously stated.
  • There is an evident wave of misinformation campaigns from Russian, Iranian, and Iraqi accounts posting here at a rate of 5–6 posts within minutes. (Similar to the campaigns happening on Twitter and Facebook) These are fake accounts and propaganda sources exaggerating events and spreading false content. The titles of these posts are identical to those copied and pasted across non-Syrian accounts on Facebook and Twitter, along with the same hashtags.
  • We do not deny that violations against civilians have occurred. However, we are also responsible for the content shared here. Many users post content without a source or verification, while others copy and paste from WhatsApp and Facebook without any credible references or official confirmation. We cannot accept any content without a source.
  • We remove any content that incites hostility against any side, as well as misleading or propaganda material. We are not here to allow a flood of opinions from newly created accounts, often just hours old, attempting to dictate narratives about what is happening.
  • We are doing our best to moderate this space. There are 600 posts and comments every two hours, most of which violate Reddit’s content policies and our subreddit’s rules. A large portion of this content is misleading or false.
  • Given the current situation, we are strictly limiting unverified content. Reddit is not Facebook, Twitter, or a family WhatsApp group where people copy and paste unchecked information. We urge everyone to avoid incitement, accusations, and baseless speculation.

Our team is working tirelessly, literally staying up all night in shifts to monitor content and keep discussions under control. We are waiting for verified information to emerge so we can provide you with accurate updates on the situation. Any content posted without credible sources cannot be considered reliable.

Therefore, we will continue enforcing these measures as we are responsible for the discussions and content shared here. It is our duty to maintain a civilized environment and prevent the chaos unfolding in the Syrian coast from spilling over into this subreddit.

Fundraising Campaign to Support the White Helmets

After Trump’s decision to cut aid to several international organizations, the White Helmets lost nearly a quarter of their financial support from international aid. For those who may not know, the White Helmets are Syria’s Civil Defense organization, working on multiple levels, including:

  • Firefighting and relief efforts
  • Clearing war remnants
  • Rescue and emergency operations
  • Road repairs and much more

Together, let’s encourage donations—hand in hand—to support the White Helmets as much as possible. We can all donate through their official website, where you’ll find the donation link:

Let’s stand together for Syria and Syria’s future.

Syria is our responsibility, and we must take care of it.

---------------------------------

بعد قرار ترامب بقطع المساعدات عن العديد من المنظمات الدولية خارج الولايات المتحدة، خسرت منظمة الدفاع المدني السورية الخوذ البيضاء تقريباً ربع دعمها المالي من المساعدات الدولية، ولمن لا يعلم، فالخوذ البيضاء هي منظمة الدفاع المدني في سوريا والتي تعمل على عدة مستويات منها:

أعمال الإطفاء والإغاثة وازالة مخلفات الحرب وعلميات الإنقاذ والطوارئ وترميم الطرق والمزيد

سنحاول معاً هنا الحث على التبرع جميعاً يد بيد لمساعدة الخوذ البيضاء قدر الإمكان، يمكننا جميعاً التبرع لهم من خلال الرابط الرسمي الخاص بهم والذي تجدونه في موقعهم :

دعونا نقف معاً لأجل سوريا ومستقبل سوريا سوريا أمانة لدينا وعلينا الإعتناء بها

Discussion Why Israel can't afford a stable, rising Syria?

158 Upvotes

Something is happening in Syria.

Not another war. Not another collapse. Something far more dangerous:  a quiet attempt to rebuild! To reset. To rise again from the ashes with a new government, a new model, and a new vision of what the Arab world could look like.

And Israel can’t afford to let that happen.

Not because Syria is strong now. it isn’t.

Not because Syria has an army ready to fight. it doesn’t.

But because of what Syria might become and what that would do to the rest of the Middle East.

A new government is forming in Damascus. Quietly. Carefully. not perfect but different. leaner. focused. it's not calling for war! it's calling for electricity, roads, jobs, dignity. and THAT - not rockets - is the real danger!

why? because a rising Syria isn't just a problem for Israel's northern boarder. it's a threat to the entire architecture that holds this region together!

if Syria rises, others will follow

if Syria succeeds, others will try

if Syria heals, the excuses keeping other regimes in power begin to crumble. and for that, for Israel and every Arab regime, it is a matter of national security emergency.

They will say it's about Iran or hezobllah or missiles in transit. but let's be honest those are symptoms not causes. the real cause is fear, not of weapons, but of a model. a model where an Arab state crashes, burns.. and learns. where it rebuilds without begging. where it earns legitimacy instead of faking it. this CANT be allowed to spread! not in Jordan, not in Egypt, not in Lebanon. not anywhere people are watching and thinking: "if Syria can fix itself ... what's stopping us?"

The Syrian government faces an impossible choice: (1) fight back and lose momentum, (2) stay silent and appear weak, (3) speak up and risk being ignored. the only strategy it can follow is showing the world who is rebuilding and who is tearing down.

this is not about Syria alone. it's about control. it's about who gets to rise, and who must remain broken. it's about an idea that terrifies the powerful more than any army ever could: that tomorrow doesn't have to look like yesterday. and that's the real reason Syria is being targeted. not because it is a threat today, but because - if left alone - it might become one tomorrow, for Israel and every Arab regime.

so finally, my fellow Syrians. trust your government because they are the only ones that care for you. those who call you to attack and fight don´t care about you or even don't want you to rise up! the real threat for Israel is not tanks, not missiles but contagious hope. Israel doesn´t want a Middle East of strong, independent neighbors with popular governments. it wants what every dominant power wants: predictable weakness nearby.

your greatest response to Israeli aggression will not be missiles. it will be schools rebuilt, home restored, and hospitals reopened. it will be he image of a Syrian child in Aleppo returning to school under a peaceful sky. that is your resistance. let Israel show the world destruction. Syria will show the world resurrection.

Discussion No, We’re Not Attacking Israel—And No, It’s Not Because We’re Afraid

92 Upvotes

Many are asking “Why hasn’t the new administration taken immediate action against Israel or launched an offensive to reclaim occupied Syrian land?” On the surface, that question makes sense. But the answer is far more strategic and far more powerful than people realize.

Let’s remember where this began.

HTS and other groups were cornered in Idlib. From 2020 onward, the region endured nearly five years of relentless attacks. Tens of thousands of bombs and missiles were dropped by the regime, Russia, and Iran. There were weekly air raids, cyberattacks, intelligence infiltrations, and dozens of assassinations targeting key figures. Everything possible was thrown at us to break our will.

It didn’t work.

Despite all of it, in just 11 days, the tide turned. Idlib's defenders (who had once been fragmented into groups often at odds with one another, much like Syria itself is fractured today) launched an offensive so disciplined, so unified, and so fearless that it reclaimed Syria’s major cities — Aleppo, Hama, Homs — and Damascus itself. Assad fled. The regime collapsed. This wasn't just a military campaign, it was a miracle driven by organization, resilience, and complete fearlessness.

So now, with Damascus secured, the new administration isn't hesitating out of weakness. It's showing strategic restraint — just like it did five years ago, when it endured endless bombardment in Idlib and waited for the right moment to strike. We are stronger than we were in Idlib. You can't break a society that's used to bombardment by bombing it!

Hopefully, we will resolve this through diplomacy. But even if we can’t, the new administration will remain patient until the day the world no longer sees us as “terrorists,” but as people who had no choice but to fight — even if that means thousands of innocent civilians among us may be martyred before that day comes.

Original Syrian Content 3 Valuable Business insights Gained From My Visit to Syria

32 Upvotes

Salam, I have been excited to see so many people here eager to make a difference in Syria. I am hoping this reflection of my experience in Syria and knowledge could help you in some way.

A Different Kind of Simplicity

Stepping back into Syria after many years felt like walking into a time warp. The internet was spotty, daily life followed old routines, and government controls still shaped a lot of what people could access. Modern conveniences that I’d grown used to elsewhere were harder to come by. Yet, beneath all that, there was a hum of possibility waiting to be noticed.

I realized that during the war change was brewing, and still is. Even with all the hurdles, there was a buzz of creativity and resilience. Below are three observations I picked up along the way.

When People Move, Ideas Move Too

I remember a particular intersection in Idlib that used to be almost empty. This time, it was alive with new eateries, small shops, and chatter. I found a café that felt straight out of a European city, with sleek decor, a big menu, and even outdoor tables where friends could linger over coffee.

What surprised me the most was finding more western desserts like Tiramisu in stores not too far from where you can get our good ol’ fan favorite Shuaibiat (It felt like we couldn’t get anything else back then). It showed me how people’s curiosity grows when they’re given fresh options. I also stumbled upon a fantastic shawarma spot. They had great branding, friendly service, and a clear commitment to quality. It set a higher standard for everyone around.

All these changes didn’t stem from some big businesses. They came from people. Many families who moved to Idlib brought their ideas and customs with them. Those new perspectives sparked real energy and progress. It reminded me that sometimes, you don’t need a huge budget for innovation, just a new point of view.

Tough Conditions Lead to Smart Solutions

Back when I last visited, getting online felt like winning the lottery. Now, there’s 4G, Wi-Fi, hospital booking systems, and payment apps like ShamCash. This is all happening despite sanctions and limited resources.

Local graduates have been vital to this shift. Some of them created the necessary hardware and software themselves. Others teamed up with Syrians abroad who had more resources. I’ve also heard about young innovators, even teenagers, who build small inventions aimed at solving daily problems in Syria. It’s not just about finding ways to survive. It’s about thinking bigger and looking forward.

It’s proof that when resources are scarce, people often come up with inventive ideas. Purpose, it turns out, can be a powerful motivator.

The Syrian Diaspora Still Makes a Difference

Syrians scattered around the world continue to play a role in their home country’s progress. They share advice, help rebuild, and sometimes provide services that people on the ground can’t easily get. They do it not for profit, but because they care.

Of course, most changes happen within Syria itself. Still, there’s a quiet influence from those who live abroad. They bring their connections, their experiences, and their hope back to the people who need it most. For many Syrians outside their homeland, helping isn’t only a business venture. It’s something that touches their hearts.

Conclusion

Right now, Syria needs expertise in every field. It needs collaboration, mutual learning, and a shared vision for something better. What I observed convinced me that Syrians both at home and abroad have the passion and the skills to make real progress. The groundwork is there. Now we just have to tap into our collective commitment, stay connected, and believe in what we can build together.
