‘When the Druze Cried Out, Israel Listened’ Warfare Expert Slams Global Silence on Syrian Massacre
Breitbart ^ | 21 Jul 2025 | Joshua Klein

Posted on 07/21/2025 6:37:26 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

World-renowned urban warfare expert John Spencer has delivered a searing indictment of international inaction over the systematic massacre of Syria’s Druze minority, arguing that while “human rights organizations say little” and “Western capitals issue muted statements or none at all,” Israel alone has responded with decisive action to protect a vulnerable community facing what Spencer describes as “ethnic and religious cleansing in broad daylight.”

Spencer, who serves as executive director of the Urban Warfare Institute and chair of urban warfare studies at West Point’s Modern War Institute, posted his analysis to X on Sunday in a viral social media post that has garnered over 1.5 million views following a brutal campaign of violence that has unfolded in southern Syria, where hundreds of Druze civilians have been murdered, kidnapped, or forced to flee their homes in what he characterizes as targeted terrorism rather than collateral damage from a broader conflict.

The retired U.S. Army major’s account details horrific atrocities captured on video and spreading across social media, including footage of Druze civilians “being hunted down and executed,” elders dragged into streets and forcibly shaved in acts of religious desecration, and men being “forced to leap from rooftops as militants cheer” while being shot “multiple times as they are leaping to their deaths.”

Spencer emphasizes the calculated nature of these attacks, noting that “all of it is filmed” and “shared online for the enjoyment of the killers,” comparing the deliberate cruelty to Hamas’s October 7 massacre of Israelis. “These images are not just horrifying,” he writes. “They are a visceral reminder of the savagery unleashed by Hamas on October 7.

The same evil. The same joy in human suffering. The same defilement of dignity for propaganda and sadistic pleasure.”

The irony of this article is that the author does not care to write one word about the massacre that happened before this, because that one didn’t fit the narrative, those people didn’t matter, and geopolitically the powerful just wanted to ignore it to follow their own interests.

It’s a really extreme and blatant example of hypocrisy.
It’s only a massacre if you are told to write and care about the group killed

Seeing a flurry of propaganda stories about the IDF as rescuers and protectors in Syria now. It’s laughable. Israel worked with the CIA to overthrow Assad and install the ISIS leader. The Druze were fine until Israel, CIA and Turkey finally deposed Assad and installed an ISIS man for a leader.

Ok Mossad, the gaslighting is supposed to be dim.... not like an LED floodlight.

This is like Albuquerque. A guy breaks into your house, and his cousin stops by in a week to sell you burglar bars for your house.

He bombs everything all the time’: WH said to be at ‘madman’ Netanyahu
The Times of Israel ^ | July 20, 2025 | Lazar Berman
Posted on 7/20/2025, 4:17:18 PM by McGruff

The White House is alarmed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decisions in Syria, multiple officials in US President Donald Trump’s administration were quoted Sunday as saying, branding the premier a “madman” and “a child who just won’t behave.”

“Bibi acted like a madman. He bombs everything all the time,” a White House official was cited as saying by the Axios news outlet, using the premier’s nickname. “This could undermine what Trump is trying to do.”

Israel began carrying out strikes on Syrian troops rolling into Sweida on Tuesday after local government forces were accused of killing scores of people in the Druze city of Sweida, and on Wednesday the IDF struck key buildings in Damascus.

“The feeling is that every day there is something new. What the F*^$?” said a second senior US official after an Israeli tank shell hit a church in Gaza, killing three people, in what the IDF says was a mistake.

While Trump did not publicly address the strike on Gaza’s only Catholic church, he held an angry phone call with Netanyahu and demanded that he release a statement expressing regret over the incident, which the premier did a short while later.

The Gaza church ?

It wasn’t an attack, it was collateral.

a shell fragment took a chunk out of the roof facia.

This event has been spun with jew hate into something it wasn’t.

Even the visa b.s. was b.s.
