Heartbreaking, Father Tony Boutros, representative of the Greek Catholic Church in Sweida, Syria, makes an appeal to the international community to save Christians and Druze from an Islamist genocide.

“We Christians and Druze are one. Look at the massacre they are committing against us. We need protection to continue living in the land we have peacefully lived together for hundreds of years.”

...

Who is doing the Killings?

What’s UN doing?

...

not seeing Christian pastors/priests speaking up

...

This is the history of Islam. Conquer. Destroy. Kill non Islamic citizens.

Then destroy a country and send it back into the uneducated Stone Age.

It seems like Israel is lone in helping the victims in Suwayda. Pray that God will move the hearts of Pope Leo and President Trump .

Proverbs 21:1
The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

Going exactly as Obama planned. The Syrian rebels who he and John McCain supported are the radical jihadists who want to impose sharia law.

Pro tip:

If you are Christian (or Jewish) don’t live in a nation run by Islamists.

The druze are good people that is why so many Israeli Druze wanted to cross into Syria to protect their brothers, what is happening in Syria right now is absolutely despicable

Let me get this straight. The Druze and Christians in Syria expected something different from their Muslim neighbors.

And they are shocked they could stoop to such barbarism. Does that summarize it correctly?

Save Thy people, O Lord,
and bless Thine inheritance.
Grant victory to Thy Church over her enemies,
and protect Thy people by Thy Holy Cross!

Christians are being horrifically killed by islamic demons in middle east, Africa(especially Nigeria (right now) and Indonesia. They’ve done it here, in the UK, the EU and Scandinavia.
Every Christian/Jewish nation needs to deport these islamists to hell.
Winston Churchill was right.

Perhaps Israel shouldn’t have funded and supported the terrorists who over threw the Assad regime.

Oh well…I guess Israel will just have to take over some more territory from them, kill more Christians and get one step closer to “Greater Israel”.

When are people going to wake up and understand what is going on here?

(We all thought that WW3 would be fought with WMDs. Instead it is being fought with NGOs.)

ISIS (Obama and McCain’s boys) in suits is in charge of Syria. The Syrian HTS (ISIS) “army” is slaughtering Shia, Kurds, Druze, Alawites, Christians and everyone else when they are out of line.

Good news from Israel.
Tonight, the Israeli Air Force is sending medical aid to As Suwayda via helicopters escorted by AH-64D attack helicopters. The IDF may also deploy several battalions of Israeli Druze Special Forces to help the Syrian Druze defend the city against ISIS / Daesh terrorists backed by Turkey. The Israeli Air Force will provide close air support.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the severe fighting in the Druze stronghold of As-Suwayda in southern Syria, writing on his X account that "the United States is deeply concerned about the horrific and dangerous developments. Rape and massacre of innocent people are still occurring and must end." According to him, "if the authorities in Damascus want to preserve any chance of achieving a united, inclusive and peaceful Syria, free from ISIS and Iranian control, they must help end this catastrophe by using security forces. They must prosecute all those guilty of atrocities, including those in their ranks. The fighting between Druze and Bedouin groups must cease immediately."

Looks like Trump was as wrong about the Islamist Syrian leader as he was about Putin.

Must be more Fourth Dimensional Chess.
