Think the 10/7 massacre can't happen again? It is.
Just this time in Syria - READ ON.

Less than a year after Bashar al-Assad’s fall, Syria’s Druze (approx. 700k people) are facing a wave of sectarian violence that chillingly echoes Hamas’s October 7th assault on Israel. 

The parallels include coordinated beheadings, immolations, kidnappings, and public mutilations have swept from Suwayda to the outskirts of Damascus, prompting many Druze themselves to label these massacres their "October 7th."

External enablers - most notably Qatari financiers and Turkish backed proxy militias have enabled these crimes, with their influence and funding fueling ongoing atrocities throughout the Middle East.

The current wave of violence began on July XX when the kidnapping of a Druze trader on the Damascus road triggered tit-for-tat raids that left one abductee and three Druze shot. The situation escalated dramatically between July 13-16 when militias, reinforced by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) border guards, stormed Suwayda city, leaving over 1100 massacred.

The patterns mirror the 10/7 Hamas massacre on Israel  with striking precision. In both instances, armed groups driven by ideological hatred meticulously planned and carried out horrific atrocities, including burning victims alive, mass abductions, forced suicides, and sexual violence targeting people of all ages, including children. 

These acts, often filmed and widely circulated, aim to instill terror not only among the direct victims but also within broader minority communities.

Who is Behind the Massacre? The New Syrian Government!

While initial violence in Suwayda province has been described as clashes between local Druze militias and Bedouin tribes, credible open source evidence and documentation indicate a much more coordinated assault. Syrian government forces, specifically units under the Interior Ministry and new security apparatus, are directly implicated in the attacks.

Footage authenticated by rights monitors shows government-aligned fighters conducting field executions, participating in home invasions, and humiliating religious leaders by forcibly shaving their beards, an act of profound cultural and spiritual desecration for the Druze. 

The most dominant faction, HTS, originated as al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate under now President Ahmed al-Sharaa. Al-Sharaa moved from Iraq to Syria in 2011 with six men and a monthly stipend of $XXXXXX from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the founder of ISIS, to establish al-Qaeda's Syrian branch, Jabhat al-Nusra (Now HTS). Other elements include the Syrian National Army (SNA), initially Turkish-backed opposition groups now integrated into official structures.

Senior posts across security & intelligence branches in Syria are staffed by figures with histories in extremist Islamic orgs, including both ISIS and al Qaeda. 

Just as Hamas and its smaller radical Sunni factions, funded by Qatar, were behind the October 7th atrocities, the massacre against the Druze is being carried out by another coalition of radical Sunni Islamists, also funded by Qatar - one rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood and the other with ties to Al-Qaeda.

Qatar's influence in the transition of Syria's govt. has been substantial and quite disturbing  Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, Qatar has backed opposition forces, including those in the current government. Qatar’s strategy also includes legitimizing former extremist elements through a process described  as "putting a suit on a terrorist."

This approach involves rebranding militant leaders as statesmen through media campaigns, diplomatic engagement, and financial support. 

Turkey has long backed Syria’s extremist factions, offering safe haven, weapons, and support to groups like HTS. Erdogan’s government aided foreign fighters and maintains ties with militias now accused of persecuting minorities, including those involved in these massacres.

If you think what's happening in Syria is bad, just wait. It's going to get much worse.
