Brother, you don't seem to understand what Syria has been through, and you don't seem to recognize how Israel has been acting either. That's not me being paranoid, that's me seeing the reality of our situation. It's easily for people outside our region to brush these issues off, but we're not dealing with the same realities. We have a different situation and neighbourhood dynamics to deal with, and we need to be on high alert with all the threats that surround us. Saying that I'm being paranoid when you have no idea what Israel has been doing in our Southern border and how they're messing with our country is frankly you being completely ignorant of the scale of the problems we contend with every day.
I haven't been updating this thread about every single thing that's been happening in Syria because that's impossible and a full time job, I can't do that. But Israel has been raiding our southern Quneitra province and harassing us and conducting military operations there for more than a year, and continue to expand there:

These are just in the past week alone. And this harassment and low level military engagements have been happening every single week to our people. Every week. They've kidnapped and killed many of our citizens, destroyed their farmlands and property, and they've bombed us all over the country hundreds of times in the past year alone.
They've destroyed 80% of our army's heavy weaponry and advanced systems and large military stock piles with bombing raids since Assad was deposed, and they keep on doing it on regular basis anytime they see us build up of any military stock pile. They've prevented us from putting down the Sweida rebellion that we were easily going to crush because they intervened and bombed our forces, and promised to invade to stop us from dealing with that threat for good, because they want to keep that conflict open for them to exploit and destabilize us with it. They've even fired warning shots at army convoys that goes a little too far south for their liking, in our fucking country, because they want to impose by force, unilaterally, an entirely new no-military zone on us in our entire southern province. They've also taken over and occupied the very strategic Mount Hermon, the mountains that overlooks Damascus directly and have placed heavy artillery there, so they have a clear an easy way to target and destroy the capital if they chose to.

So respectfully, you have no idea what type of threats and challenges we face, they've been taking more and more territory in a slow crawl that's never reported by news media, and they continue to build more and more military bases there and bring in more troops and heavy assets. You just seem to be completely ignorant of the realities we face, and it's easy for you to do that when it's not your country that's being harassed and bombed every day, or your people being killed and under threat from foreign powers at your doorstep. That's not paranoia, that's just not being naive and realizing the challenges we directly face. I wish we had a period of 20-30 years of stability and peace, but Israel is not going to let that happen.
