At least 15 killed in Damascus church bombing attack, dozens wounded - This is what happens when religions clash in multi-sectarian societies. #Syria is home to substantial Sunni and Shia Muslim (Alawites) populations, a traditional Syriac and Maronite Christian minority, and, Druze enclaves. That’s lots of competing faiths, who often do not get along. History proves it is difficult for multiple religions to peacefully co-exist, as counterintuitive as that may sound. #Religion #Christianity #Islam #Druze https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/22/at-least-15-killed-in-damascus-church-bombing-attack-dozens-wounded

Destabilizing Syria's fragile government, under the pretext of protecting the Druze sect, will do nothing to strengthen Israel's already-powerful position in the Middle East. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/06/01/world/israel-risky-syria-strategy/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #syria #israel #hts #druze #basharassad #defense

Depuis des semaines, l’État hébreu évoque la protection de la minorité druze pour justifier des frappes en Syrie.#bombardement #Turquie #Syrie #IsraëlPays #druze
En soutenant les druzes, Israël cherche à affaiblir durablement la Syrie

The mediation effort preceded Israeli strikes in #Syria last week, including one just 500 metres (yards) from the presidential palace in #Damascus, & Reuters could not establish if the mechanism has been used since the strikes occurred.

#Israel has framed the strikes as a message to Syria's new rulers in response to threats against Syria's #Druze, a minority sect that is an offshoot of #Islam with adherents in Syria, #Lebanon & Israel.

Syrian gov’t reaches deal with #Druze community, as #Israel steps up attacks https://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2025/5/4/syrian-govt-reaches-deal-with-druze-community-as-israel-steps-up-attacks?traffic_source=rss

I see almost no reports about the either massacre of #Druze in #Syria by Sunni militias, or (alternative description) clashes between Druze militias and Sunni militias in Syria.

In fact, I saw two reports of related events and all they reported was about the Israeli attacks on Syria that followed.

There have been extensive protests by Druze in Israel urging the Israeli government to help the Druze in Syria against attacks by the Sunni majority and specifically Jihadist militias.

#Israel threatens Syrian regime with hard measures if it continues with arbitrary killing of #druze minority in #Syria.

A propos de la Syrie par Georges Gastaud – Si la gauche française OTAN-compatible et, à sa suite, la direction des syndicats euro-formatés sont encore vaguement capables de rougir, c’est bien de honte devant le résultat de leur politique à l’encontre du peuple syrien. A entendre les Faure, Tondelier, Roussel, Glucksmann et Cie, les opposants […]
