…by these terrorist govt forces. These pictures are of just some of the Christian and Alawite victims from the last few days. This is what we warned would happen if the secular Syrian Government was removed. Pray for the Christians & other minorities in Syria.


Syria leader issues plea for national unity, peace after more than 1,000 killed in clashes
[IsraelTimes] Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa call for peace and national unity after days of clashes between security forces and loyalists of the former government that have killed more than 1,000 people, most of them Alawite civilians, amid reports of executions.

“We must preserve national unity (and) civil peace as much as possible and, God willing, we will be able to live together in this country,” Sharaa says in a speech delivered from a mosque in Damascus.
Translation: “Surrender or die, surrounded by the tortured bodies of those you love.”

#11  You really expected something different?

No.

This is a brutal turf war between Mafia like entities.
Bugs Moran and Al Capone were mortal enemies but they also were the enemies of normal, law abiding people.

The exact ideological flavor of an Islamic totalitarian regime doesn't make a difference for the dhimmis and sub-dhimmis under its power.

Control of Syria switched from the Iranian to the Qatari sub-branch of the Iran-Qatar-Russia alliance.

What matters is that Israel weakened Syria and that certain military options Assad had were destroyed.

#10  Is it wrong to point out that the Alawites/Assad regimes have far more blood on their hands and are perhaps deserving of some pay back? I’m not rooting for either side here. It’s tough to ride that cycle of violence.

#9  Hopes and expectations are two very different things.

This is not the time for semantics, it's time to kill or be killed.

Seems a lot like the 10/7 Gaza overrun by zombie mutants thing.

#3  Not comfortingly smooth and sophisticated now. They’re just as evil as their Al Qaeda, ISIS, and Moslem Brotherhood jihadis elsewhere.
