The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition

Arabs killing Christians? Nobody cares. Arabs killing Jews? Nobody cares. Arabs killing Arabs? Nobody cares.

Only when Jews or Christians kill Arabs, even during a just defensive war, does the world respond with its typical, fanatical calls for Restraint and Cease-fire and Return to former borders and Humanitarian Crisis and Disproportionate and even Genocide!

But real genocide happens all of the time, and often at the hands of Muslim Arabs, who seem to be involved in most sectarian killing across the world. The latest is in Syria, where the Great Hope of the Bien Pensant and The New York Times, Ahmed al-Shara, is turning out to be what anyone with a brain knew he would... Osama bin Laden in a crappy suit and a trimmed beard. Be careful what you wish for! Is he al-Qaeda? ISIS? Only his barber knows for sure, but the Christians being murdered by his terrorists-turned-Syrian-patriots probably don't care. Sure, he is knocking off the Alawites too, because they supported the Assad regime and their brand of Islam isn't quite savage enough for him and his psychotics. And who is next? The Druze? The Kurds? Sure! That will help Turkey, which is playing its usual game of talking out of both sides of its mouth...publicly declaring Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham a terrorist organization while privately supporting them. And they got what they wanted...Assad fell, and Syria is being run by their pet terrorist group.

Massacres without mercy in Syria -- The new Islamic regime is targeting Alawites & Christians

Northern Syria, especially the part towards the Mediterranean coast, is in the throes of an extremely bloody conflict with massacres against Alawites and Christians alike by the Turkish-backed Islamic regime and its jihadist militants.

The ethnic cleansing, which threatens to destabilize once again the country that has experienced endless warfare for 15 years, is unfolding under the gaze of the international community, which condemns but for now has not gone beyond…recommendations for “restraint“. The United States and Russia have, however, called for the United Nations Security Council to meet on Monday, behind closed doors to discuss the escalating violence.

The latest tally from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights puts the death toll at least 1,311 in recent days. Of these, more than 830 were civilians, mostly Alawites, the majority of whom were executed. More than 480 are the armed dead from both sides.

But very little will be done, and Syria will become another dysfunctional Muslim dictatorship, whose thugs will cruise around the country killing anyone they dislike or whose religion is inconvenient. Sort of like how it was under Assad, only nastier.

Israel was vilified when, soon after Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham conquered Syria, they entered the country and established a buffer zone, because unlike the naive and foolish NYT, Israel knows what Jihad means and what can happen. If al-Shara of the trimmed beard would send his henchmen to kill Muslims and Christians, what would he do with Israelis? Oh, Israel also destroyed the majority of the Syrian army's weaponry, because fanatical 7th century maniacs with missiles is a bad combination.

But the problem for Christians remains, and absent an Israeli invasion of Syria, who is going to protect them? The United Nations? The Pope? The American Army? The EU?

Maybe we can convince Putin to send troops...after all, he was a supporter of Assad!
