Since Thursday, more than 1,000 people—including Christian minorities and Alawites, the sect to which Assad belongs—have been killed, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) and local reports. [...]
Syria's interim president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has vowed the new government will respect all communities and affiliations. He is working to gain international legitimacy and has recently met with regional leaders. However, this intense violence could undermine those efforts.
Syria has been mired in conflict for more than a decade, [...]
The recent fatal clashes mark the worst violence since al-Assad was thrown out, with high casualties reported among religious minorities, including Alawites and Christians.
Local residents told Reuters that thousands of people, including Christians and Alawites, have fled the areas to nearby mountains for safety. The Christian population in Syria has drastically dwindled since the start of the civil war, with The Syrian Observer estimating only around 300,000 Christians remain in the country.[...]

However, martyr-making Muslims do not make distinction, as following their leader's doctrine and example, unbelievers in the false God of Islam can be murdered on that account. - https://peacebyjesus.net/jesus.vs.muhammad.html
I’m old enough to remember when the zeepers were dancing in the streets at the demise of Assad...
Yes, if one takes the opposite position of every foreign policy decision they support, they’d be right every time.

Sounds like a bit of taqiyya (approved lying) was going on there.
Because to a Muslim, “respect” means being pleasant to the same sect that he belongs to. For everyone else: Death to the infidel!
You’d think after 1400 years the West would catch on. But I guess not.
Thank you, John McCain and crowd. And Obama, Bush, Biden, etc. Neocons should be tarred and feathered, for the misery they cause all over the world.
Blaming the killing of Christians, etc. in Syria by devout Muslims on Israel due to Israel reducing the numbers of such Muslims and their ability to war is like blaming the USA for the rise in militant Israel by supporting the statehood of Israel. Which I suspect, you oppose.

“Israel will just have to ... kill more Christians” - FR’s own “nitzy”
Nitzy: New and Improved! Now with only 66% Anti-Semitic Posts!
(…as of last count. But don’t believe me, review his posting history and come up with your own statistic!)
When a muslim murders a Christian, it’s the Jews’ fault!
See nitzy’s post above.
It's another example of how Russian Derangement Syndrome, like Trump Derangement Syndrome retards the mind.
As a terror supporter you misunderstand what is happening.
Fortunately, the terrorist you support by supporting Russia have been extinguished by the IDF and are no longer a problem. But...... you still bear the indelible stain
LOL…
Since Israel toppled the Assad regime this has been our conversation…
Me: “Israel overthrowing Assad and supporting the jihadis is going to lead to the death of Christians.”
You: “Israel didn’t overthrow Assad.”
Me: “Here is the proof they did that.”
You: “OK maybe Israel did do that but it won’t lead to the death of Christians.”
Me: “These are the Christians that are dying.”
You: “You are antisemitic to have predicted this would happen.”
Feel free to ignore me.
I’m just here to get you banned.
Gotta admit, your rate of anti-semitism has lately fallen below the 50% threshold in all the times I keep track.
I wonder how FR in general feels about self described ex-IDF operatives coming on to this forum and attempting to censor America First posters who criticize Israel?
Is that MAGA? Is that America First? Is that “conservative”?
