For years, western governments had been hoping for a fall of the violent Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. As the old saying goes, “Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.” At the end of December 2024, opposition forces attacked a weakened Assad regime, and the government collapsed like a house of cards.
Suddenly, a new sheriff came riding into town named Ahmed al-Sharaa. Well-groomed, dressed in a business suit, many people sighed with relief. Others, though, said, “Wait, isn’t that guy also known as Abu Mohammed al-Julani? You know, the fatigue-wearing butcher who used to be part of al-Qaeda?”
But the western governments and their toady media outlets quickly hushed up the dissenters, saying, “Maybe, but that was then, and this is now. And, sure, the group he heads – we’ll just call it HTS because it sounds nicer than those scary Arab-sounding words behind the initials – was designated a terrorist organization by a number of countries, including both the United States and Russia, oh, and the United Nations and the EU, too, but…hey, did I mention how nice he looks in his suit?”
It’s true, al-Sharaa and his people really did their best to keep their terrorist ways hidden away from the media and prying western eyes. But then the Alawites, the minority population from which came Bashar al-Assad, decided to attempt a revolt. Of course, they did this without Assad, who is busy in Moscow enjoying the billions that he stole from the people of Syria. Launching from the Mediterranean coast, this rebellion was ill-conceived and quickly quashed. And then the bloodshed began.
Once a terrorist, always a terrorist. Videos of mass executions, tortures, and humiliations began to leak out. There was no questioning their veracity, because they were being taken as the massacres happened by the perpetrators themselves. In Hamas fashion, the HTS soldiers forced the Alawites to crawl on all fours and bark like dogs, before shooting them in the head. Some even rode on their backs before executing them in cold blood. When word got back to the Damascus headquarters about these activities, the leadership was furious. “What are you doing? Don’t stop the slaughters, of course. Just stop the videos, for Allah’s sake!”
The situation has become so dire for the Alawites, as well as some Druze and Christians, along the Mediterranean that the people have reached out to the one people they know whose word they can trust. Israel. Unbelievably, these people who just a few months ago wanted nothing more than to turn Israel into a giant parking lot are now pleading for help. I even have Alawites reaching out to me through Instagram asking me to pray for them and to use any influence I have to get Israel to help them.
I am doing what I can to help get the plight of the Alawites out to the world. Western media is whitewashing the situation. Social media is censoring the truth. If you’re wondering why I am including so many graphic scenes from the slaughter of our former enemies, it’s because people need to know. My job is not to judge anyone as to how they used to feel about me and my people. That’s God’s responsibility. I just want the world to know about this horrible slaughter. Thankfully, word is getting out and some governments are starting to take notice. The United Nations has said that they are going to talk about it, which I’m sure is a huge relief to everyone. With any luck, they may even form a committee.
