We must speak up on behalf of the Druze as they face Islamist genocide in Suwayda . Cc @IWF @karimfranceschi
A Christian family was recently murdered in its entirety by members of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, led by Jolani — the very man now receiving indirect political cover from the United States. This ongoing direction sends a dangerous message: that the blood of innocent civilians is…
My fascinating conversation with Dr Qanta Ahmed, @MissDiagnosis is now available on Spotify. We discuss Israel, Islam and terrorism. From martyrdom and 9/11 to Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood and the West, she is a fierce defender of Western values but also a practising Muslim…
Syria's self-proclaimed President Sharaa, formerly Jolani of Al-Qaeda, isn't building a new Syrian state or government. He's using them as an excuse to subdue others and establish his Islamist autocracy. Ceasefire and de-escalation are mere mental gymnastics.
Tonight, the Israeli Air Force is delivering emergency medical aid to As-Suwayda, airlifting supplies via helicopters under the protection of AH-64D Apache gunships. The IDF is also considering the deployment of several battalions of elite Israeli Druze Special Forces to support…
BREAKING: Qatari State TV interviewed Islamists in Syria who claimed they were “saving” Druze women and children. Moments later, a woman in the truck yells, “We were kidnapped!”—and the broadcast abruptly cuts off.
BREAKING 🔴 Syrian regime forces have slaughtered an American citizen and his entire Druze family in Suwayda. Hosam Saraya, a U.S. national from Oklahoma and graduate of Oklahoma Christian University, was executed along with his father, brother, uncles, and cousins in a brutal…
It is becoming clearer that the so called "tribesmen" caravans converging into #Souaida are a mass of militants driven by #MuslimBrotherhood networks, funded by .... money, guided by HTS and infiltrated by ISIS. A wild jihadi combo, marching to Middle Earth..
There is no reason for the U.S. government to support (directly or indirectly) a regime that directs and funds ethnic cleansing of Syrian minorities like the Druze, Christians and Kurds. The Druze are not asking for US funds or soldiers. They ask only that the President and…

This is deeply wrong on multiple levels. The United States and every democratic country should condemn any foreign arrest of a citizen based solely on politically motivated, third-party accusations of war crimes, especially when there is no connection to the detaining country.…
🔴 Deeply troubling: Two Israelis — an IDF soldier and a civilian — were detained in Belgium after an anti-Israel NGO accused them of war crimes. They were in the country as tourists attending the Tomorrowland music festival. Belgian authorities acted on the complaint under a…
The Druze are enduring calculated strangulation. In Suwayda, they bury their dead in silence, not because they choose quiet, but because the world does not listen. Their hospitals are failing. Electricity is gone. Oxygen is gone. Medicine is gone. And still, the community…
The UN says it can’t deliver food to Palestinians in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has repeatedly offered to take over and securely transport their food stocks into Gaza. The UN keeps saying no. If you’re wondering what matters more to the UN — feeding the hungry or…
Doubters, he's telling you who he is:
In his speech to the nation, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa squarely put the blame on the Druze community and praised the Bedouin tribes as national heroes. Israel came to the Defense of the Druze fearing a massacre on an even larger scale than the October 7th Massacre
The aircraft carrier Gerald Ford has arrived in the Mediterranean
Today I saw videos of Islamists in Syria beheading, torturing, and mutilating Druze and Christians. It has been almost a week of nonstop carnage. At what point does the media decide to cover it? How many people need to be slaughtered before they write a story about this?
Yet, our State Department told Israel to stand down when they tried to stop the ongoing massacre that has now claimed the life of American citizens. From Nigeria (our support for Boko Haram) to Syria (our support for ISIS and al-Qaeda), there is much blood on America’s hands
Thank you so much @RichardGrenell - I appreciate all that you do please urge @POTUS to delineate the red line that has been violated. Preservation of religious freedom is an essential priority for the United States and particularly important to President Trump . This is THE…
I have just been given horrific news and videos of what is said to be an American citizen from Oklahoma who has been brutally killed in Syria. He is Druse. I have passed it on to a senior State Department official and a Member of Congress to check the facts. Pray for his…
Thank you for that Jonathan. That interview with Qanta was wonderful, inspiring, thought provoking.
What a great interview of the remarkable Dr Ahmed. Most of the Muslims I grew up with in UK were either pluralistic like her or flat out atheists - where did they go? But this is first interview I have heard of a sane intelligent Muslim voice not banging on how great Hamas are.
@MissDiagnosis Dr. Qanta Ahmed, a remarkable Muslim physician and journalist, is one of the bravest individuals I have ever had the privilege to meet. Having known her for nearly 20 years, just when I think she has reached the highest level of greatness, she surprises me yet…
