A wave of massacres is sweeping through Syria’s Christian and Alawite communities as the Islamist regime installed after Assad’s fall tightens its grip. More than 1,800 people have been executed in the past few days, with witnesses describing entire villages being wiped out by government-backed fighters.

The new leadership, which came to power after President Bashar Al Assad fled to Russia in December, has shown no restraint in its crackdown on religious minorities. Assad had protected Christians using the Syrian military in the past, but his ouster left them completely vulnerable. 

Ahmed al-Sharaa, the interim leader with deep ties to Al Qaeda, initially claimed his government would respect all communities. However, human rights groups now report systematic executions of Christians, destruction of churches and mass displacement.

Western nations have largely ignored the religious aspect of the violence. The United Nations issued a statement condemning the general loss of life but failed to acknowledge the targeting of Christian and Alawite civilians. The media, too, has focused on political shifts rather than the reality on the ground.

“Bark like a dog!”

Jolani’s radical Islamist terrorist thugs are humiliating, torturing and executing thousands of Alawites, Christians and Druze across Syria right now.

The Mainstream media are silent. The UN is silent. No jews, no Jews. We must keep shouting.

Christians are being massacred in Syria. Churches burned. Priests executed. Families wiped out. And the West is silent. This is the greatest Christian persecution of our time—and the media won’t tell you. Let’s expose the truth. 🧵👇 1/13 pic.twitter.com/m6GdNqvOZk

Despite its military strength, Israel has taken no action to protect Syria’s Christian population. While Israeli leaders have spoken about the dangers of jihadist rule in Syria, there has been no move to provide aid or intervene in the ongoing slaughter.

While the warmongers cheer Assad being overthrown, Christians will now be persecuted under sharia law which has now been declared in Syria.

Damascus is one of the earliest places where Christianity began.

I’m praying for them. 🙏

Syria: A plea for the religious minorities – including Christians – in Latakia:

“Please. You’ve got to help us. . . . Most of the people in my village are dead. . . We are afraid for the little kids. . . . They are killing people randomly. . . .” pic.twitter.com/uNxB8YXAAk

Local reports paint a grim picture of the crisis. Priests have been executed, Christian families have been slaughtered in their homes and survivors are fleeing into the mountains. With no international action, many fear the Christian presence in Syria could be wiped out entirely.

Syria: The situation is worse than most know.

Why is no one talking about Christians being murdered in Syria??? https://t.co/fXvxB4XHN0

As the killings continue, the world remains indifferent. Those left in Syria’s Christian enclaves wonder if anyone will come to their aid before it is too late.

A special prayer for our Christian brethren in the Middle-East, and especially Syria 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/LOnGcemhDm
