‘Moderate’ New Islamist Rulers of Syria Publicly Humiliate German Foreign Minister Baerbock, Refuse To Shake Her Hand, Syrian Channels Blur Her Out in Pictures
‘First handshake refused, now THAT’ – German BILD tabloid.
It’s no wonder the failed German coalition led by outgoing chancellor Olaf Scholz is such a train wreck: at the same time that they want to lecture the world on their failed Globalist policies and prejudices, they wanted to jump the gun and be one of the first states to send top-level officials to engage with the ‘moderate’ new Islamist Syrian rulers – and they sent a woman to try to do the job, FM Annalena Baerbock..
Rarely was a disaster so predictable.
BILD reported (translated from German):
“Annalena Baerbock’s visit to Syria on Friday has another aftermath: In Damascus, the new ruler Ahmed al-Sharaa did not shake hands with the Federal Foreign Minister at first – unlike her male companions.
Now comes the next discrimination: Islamist news channels from the environment of the new rulers spread photos of Baerbock’s visit – and censor the German politician in the process!”
The humiliation began at her arrival at Damascus airport: Syrians did not shake her hand – so she shook the hands of German officials instead, with gusto!

Baerbock then met new Syrian ruler Ahmad al-Sharaa also did not shake hands with the Minister.

But things were about to get even worse:
“The news channel Almharar distributed photos on Telegram in which the Federal Foreign Minister was made unrecognizable by obfuscation.
Baerbock can only be recognized by her conspicuous casual outfit (light chino pants, light blouse).”
Of course, her male French counterpart Jean-Noël Barrot got his protocol handshakes and is depicted completely unedited next to the Syrian politicians.
“Almharar is close to the Islamist militia Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has just gained power. In other words, the channel is close to the new rulers, but is not an official Syrian news agency like the Syrian Arab News Agency (Sana).”
Sana did show the same photos uncensored.
But the censored images show how ‘moderate and tolerant’ the Islamist new Syria rulers really are.
