Christians Forces Fighting ISIS in Raqqa Ask for US Help

For some time there have been communities with Kurds who were also Christians in Northern Syria. They have been not as visible for fear of persecution.

Some other communities have had almost 100% Christian population for many generations.

The non-Kurd Christian Communities have joined the SDF and are asking for the US government to treat them like we have their Kurdish counterparts in order to defend themselves. They are involved in the Raqqa campaign.

Some time ago, a close Kurdish friend explained this group to me.

I'm personally going to request my congressman to help them like we are the Syrian Kurds and the other SDF members.

Syriacs and Chaldean Christians have been in ME almost forever. As have the Copts in Egypt.

They have sure been hit badly for past 10 years.

Yes, they deserve our help.

Me too brother.

My house rep. actually returns (I know it’s not him writing it) every email I send him.

I will have to figure out how to word it to get to the point.

[Texas Fossil]

I posted this earlier about the Kurds helping Christians in Syria. Kurds tell me this is a pretty accurate story, not long after Kobani. (had to check to see if either of you had posted there.)

Pretty good read.

[PGR88]

but a Christian force is taking part and is asking for U.S. support and prayers.

If Obama were still in charge, no doubt he and Brennan would make them drone targets.

[topher]

Send them SNIPER rifles and some US Black Ops forces to help them with mini-UAV’s.

[Texas Fossil]

Yes, grasshopper, your memory is very good.

hee hee hee

That unfortunately was exactly how it was. Hope I never see or hear him again. I’m sure I won’t get that wish.

[Psalm 144]

I’m personally going to ask almighty God to blight all neocon agitation, deceit, regime change and warmongering in the region.

SDF is a false front. So is this “Christian” photo-op.

[caww]

This was the article I also learned of the asking for prayers...so I did post it on our Prayer Vigil thread.
we are helping them Militarily from what I understand....I thought mostly they were asking for our prayers now?

[Texas Fossil]

OK, Thanks.

I thought I had heard that they were being helped, but the press release was recent so I was not sure.

I have some phone calls to do in the morning. I know a fellow in a well know Christian broadcasting station that I’m sure will pick this up. I had previously called my congressman.

[Texas Fossil]

Well, you are wrong.

[Psalm 144]

No. The malevolent, bloodcaked churning we are doing over there is wrong. It was wrong as Obama policy, and it is wrong now.

America is being used as muscle for anti-Christ governments in the region.

[Texas Fossil]

I sent you a message.

I have no issue discussing this with you, but don’t agree with you. I’ve known some of these people a long time. I promise I know about them warts and all.

You don’t find better people in the ME than the Syrian Kurds.

Do you think we out to help the Jews?

[Psalm 144]

We’re not helping anything or anyone except murderous, covetous, and godless elites in a handful of nations.

Photo ops with sock puppets do not count, and it sure took a LONG time time to put this propaganda gloss on McCain’s SDF friends.

The perpetuation of these globalist, neocon/neolib Obama era policies must end.

[Texas Fossil]

McCain’s SDF friends

McCain has never been a friend of the Kurds. Not the YPG or the YPJ. The SDF is more than 1/2 made up of Kurds. The Arabs that have joined were never any of those that McCain and Hillary hired to dismember Syria.

I don't know where you get your information, but the SDF did not exist until after Manbij. It was formed to pacify Turkey by including Arabs in it to take Raqqa (predominantly Arab city). Of course, pacifying Turkey is a total lost cause, but they are a NATO member.

You avoided answering my question, do you think we should support the Jews in Israel?

[WatchungEagle]

This is a tiny group with very little support. The vast majority of Syrian Christians, including in the northeast part of Syria, support the government and fight for the SAA or NDF.

It’s really a US front group designed to give the false impression that Syrian Christians don’t support the government. They have no combat power. The entire SDF is a fig leaf for the Kurds, not a real organization.

If you care about protecting Christians in Syria, support the government.

Write to your Congressmen and ask them to stop arming all rebels.
