There is currently massive misinformation about the Druze genocide, both in the media, and emanating from world governments, including the Trump Administration. The cold-blooded murder, not unlike what Hamas did to Israelis during the Jewish genocide on October 7th, is not some ‘rivalry’ as Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called it, but the latest attempt of ethnic cleansing by Arab Muslims in Syria against a long-established minority.
Not only is it not a ‘rivalry’ but also not ‘Bedouin’ led, as some have been making cover for the Syrian government forces. Terrorists additionally admitted that 200 – 300 foreign fighters from Central Asia have joined. Nor are the Druze being targeted because of Israel. Islam considers everyone non-Muslim to be infidels, and although Jews specifically are signaled out in the Quran, throughout history since Islam was invented, it was former Muslims (Druze) or non-mainstream Muslims (Yazidis) who have been targets of genocide by Muslims at a far higher rate.
Bedouins are not an ethnicity; rather, it simply means ‘nomad’ in Arabic. The ones in Israel and in ‘Jordan’ aka the Arab occupier state inside Israel are mostly genetic Jews, descended from Jews who moved to the Hejaz after 586 BC and after 136 AD. Twelve Judean clans emerged in that region. One clan was killed by Mohammad’s army due to betrayal and were killed under Judean treason laws (it was not a genocide as Arabs love to say). Two clans were expelled, but nine clans remained – each clan was a few hundred people – and assimilated to Islam, but kept their Judean genetics as they married within their own clans. Over time, some moved back home.
In Syria, the Bedouins are merely the regular Arab Muslims who conquered Syria from the Christians and polytheists. Only a few of the clans remained nomadic. The current terrorist Syrian government, backed by Turkey, and as of recently, aided financially by the U.S. when President Trump announced on his recent trip to Saudi Arabia, the lifting of sanctions, along with reviewing HTS (Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham’s) designation as a foreign terrorist organization. The goal was to absorb Syria into the Abraham Accords, which would absolutely handcuff Israel when invariably factions of the Syrian government would attempt to either attack Israel or engage with a fellow terrorist sponsor nation (Qatar, Turkey, Iran).
The UAE and Bahrain are nothing like Syria in terms of leadership and genuine intentions for peace. Instead, taqiyya, a concept in Islam which allows Muslims to lie to achieve a means to an end, is not grasped by the West, to the detriment of security (the Oslo Terrorist Accords and the disengagement from Gaza in 2005, are both prime examples).
Who are the Druze? They began as Arab Muslims in Cairo, Egypt who adhered to the Ismaili version of Shi’ia Islam. Their distinct religion then took shape in the 11th century AD, with influences from Christianity and Zoroastrianism being the strongest, though they are monotheistic and respect all Abrahamic-faith prophets. Reincarnation is a major tenet within their faith. Over time, just like Jews emerged as a distinct race from the Semitic tribes in Judea & Samaria by marrying within, as did the Druze become a race.
The Druze closed themselves off to intermarriage and ‘conversions’ in 1044 after being persecuted in Egypt. It was that persecution which led the migration of the Druze to the mountainous regions of Israel, Lebanon, Syria. Known for their prowess as warriors, the Druze were used as a strong fighting force against the Crusaders in Syria, which earned them great respect among the Muslim population. However, under Ottoman times, the Druze were targeted by Ottoman leaders in both Israel and in Syria, which led to the Druze leading a genocide (one of two – the other occurring in the 19th century) against Jews in Israel in the 17th century. Over time, the Ottomans had agreed to designate parts of southern Syria as Druze territory, including Suweida, the location of the current genocide against the Druze.
During the Assad regime, there were Baathist supporters among Druze as was there a strong presence of opposition Druze. When Ahmed al-Sharaa and his henchmen terrorists took over from Assad, who was also a terrorist, they forcefully took arms away from minorities – Druze, Alawites, and Christians. HTS leadership clearly stated their goal when the first genocide occurred under the new regime with the promise of ethnically cleansing the ‘infidels’ from Syria before moving on to attack Israel.
Massive credit to Netanyahu, who seems to be a far stronger leader for the Druze than for the Jews in Israel in terms of policies. Bibi did not hesitate to protect the Druze in Syria – the IDF launched airstrikes against government forces, on-ground troops also rolled in, to the cheers of the Suweida Druze, and allowed a number of the IDF-serving Druze in Israel to gain entrance into Syria to help their people fight off the terrorists.
PM Netanyahu stated, “I wish to update yo on what we did in Syria, and what we will do in Syria. We established a clear policy; the demilitarization of the area south of Damascus, from the Golan to the Druze Mountain region, is one line. The second line – protecting our brothers, the Druze in the Druze Mountain. Both of these things were violated by the Damascus regime. It sent troops south of Damascus, into the area that was supposed to be demilitarized, and it began slaughtering the Druze. I instructed the IDF to act – and to act forcefully. The Air Force attacked both the murder gangs and the RPGs. I also added a target in Damascus to attack the Ministry of Defense.”
Syrian Human Rights Organization has reported, as of two days ago, that over 300 Druze have been massacred, including the kidnapping and raping of girls under the age of 10 in front of their parents. There are graphic videos of Druze civilians being shot in their homes and in the streets. The murder of ALL patients and doctors in a Druze hospital, along with the kidnapping of dozens of families, was documented by the terrorist subhumans themselves. Government forces also cut off supply of food, water, and there have been reports of poisoning of the local water supply. After the forced American – Turkish- Jordanian backed ‘ceasefire,’ on camera, the Syrian forces are pretending to cease murdering Druze, but there has been testimony that atrocities are continuing.
Israel Republicans Overseas is lobbying the Trump Administration to condemn the genocide.
Yes, the Druze didn’t have a positive history with Jews prior to 1948, but since the liberation of Israel, the Druze in Israel pledged allegiance and have served honorably with the IDF even at a higher % (per population) than Jews in Israel. We need to speak up. Jews are far from the only ones being murdered these days by Muslims. Just so happens Jews are the only indigenous group that has an army in the region, as a result of hard-fought and earned liberation, and an incredible army at that.
**The murders described above are just from this current round of genocide. Previously, Druze were targeted in April along with Alawites and Christians. The Kurds are refusing to give up their arms after seeing what is happening to the Druze.**
Knesset Vote on Judea & Samaria Sovereignty
The Knesset voted to apply sovereignty to Judea & Samaria and the Jordan Valley (71-13). However, before we fully celebrate, this was a values ONLY vote and bears no legal or legislative authority.
That last point is what 100% of Jewish ‘influencers’ on social media are leaving out. Great first baby step but we need to actually reclaim ALL of Judea & Samaria. Israel does not owe a terrorist organization (the PA) to keep hold to the Oslo Terrorist Accords.
Judea & Samaria is from where Jews literally emerged from, 4000 years ago from the Pagan Semitic tribes. Jews are more indigenous to Israel than Native Americans to America. For nearly 1,000 years after becoming a distinct race with a unique culture and faith, Jews lived in 985 villages all over Judea & Samaria, the ancestral heartland of Israel.
Jews then began to expand our territory to eventually include what was stolen in 1922 by Churchill and renamed to Jordan. It also included what is now Southern Lebanon, stolen by the French delegation at the San Remo conference in 1920. And of course Gaza, which was conquered by Judeans in both 145 BC and in 100 BC, before being officially absorbed into the Kingdom of Judea.
Ambassador Huckabee – Is He on Israel’s Side or the Terrorists and Disrespectful Missionaries?
I have been disappointed in the selection of Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel as soon as he first appeared on FOX News six months ago, and when asked if a ‘2 state solution’ aka, an antisemitic terrorist state, yet another one, being created inside Israel as a base to murder more Jews — Huckabee said it is not off the table.
Since that interview, Huckabee has been focusing more on aiding and abetting those who hate Israel, aside from the one letter he wrote to President Trump to bomb Iran (Trump was on board all along).
He recently threatened to publicly accuse Israel of discriminating against Christian groups who were denied tourists visas as they were engaging in illegal missionary work. To ‘retaliate,’ Huckabee threatened to pause visas to Israelis. Jews are not proselytizing to Christians so that comparison was highly antisemitic, as is defending missionaries who dare to attempt to ‘convert’ Jews in the Judean homeland. Also, no such thing as Jews being ‘converted’ as Jews are a race.
Almost immediately after that antisemitic fiasco, Huckabee decided to blindly defend an American Hamas supporter in Judea & Samaria who was killed as a result of throwing Molotov cocktails. Sprinkling in more antisemitic actions, Huckabee piped up about a ‘burnt’ church in Judea & Samaria – turns out it is made of stone and was not burnt. Now, Huckabee is pretending to blame the ‘media’ for his reckless rhetoric, but the damage is done. Many Jews were thrilled when he was nominated because he says (correctly) Judea & Samaria instead of the antisemitic ‘West Bank’ but actions are equally as important. Further, he is missing other non-antisemitic terminology like ceasing to say Palestinians to mean the Arab occupiers.
Zionism Ponder: Ever wonder why Kubaneh (typically eaten on Shabbat morning) is not the universally adopted official Shabbat bread? It is not a Yemenite bread but a Judean bread, birthed in Yemen due to antisemitism.
Yemenite Muslims considered Jews to be ‘dirty’ except for the Judean Habbani tribe (Jews who lived in the Habban region of Yemen who they used as fighters in their regional wars) and did not eat with Jews. Jews created their own cuisine in Yemen, despite being in what would become Yemen (southern Arabia) since 586 BC and were welcomed by the Pagan Arabs, but all that switched when Islam spread.
The braided form of Challah, on the other hand, was appropriated by Ashkenaz Jews in the 15th century from their German and Austrian neighbors
