Tel-Chai Nation

Daniel Greenfield makes a vital point that the Trump administration's doing deals with Syria's current, much worse totalitarians than Bashar Assad, does a terrible disservice to the USA's interests:

In March, the Trump administration laid out conditions for ending sanctions on Syria.

The new Islamic terrorist regime led by a former Al Qaeda terrorist that had taken over Syria was warned to “exclude foreign terrorist fighters from any official roles”, difficult to imagine considering that the country was being run by domestic and foreign terrorists, “and ensure the security and freedoms of Syria’s religious and ethnic minorities”. Especially Christians.

“Any adjustment to U.S. policy towards Syria’s interim authorities will be contingent on all of those steps being taken,” the terrorist regime was warned.

This position was reaffirmed by the Trump administration in April at the UN Security Council.

Syria’s Jihadi government not only refused to expel its foreign Jihadi allies, but gave members of Al Qaeda and ISIS linked terrorists ranks in its new ‘military’. Syria not only harbors terrorist networks from as far away as China and Albania, but also Muslim terrorists from Western nations like Omar Diaby, listed by the United States as linked to Al Qaeda, who was “responsible for recruiting 80% of the French-speaking jihadists who went to Syria or Iraq” and who are at high risk of carrying out terrorist attacks in Europe and the United States.

With Al-Qaeda and ISIS Jihadis in control of Syria, the country’s Christians live in fear.

The new terrorist regime was supposed to protect Syria’s Christians as a precondition to dropping sanctions. And while Al-Jolani has made all sorts of assurances, Islamic terrorists remain in control of some Christian property seized during the war (many other churches were destroyed) and Christians have been warned to become Muslims or face the consequences.

Leaflets bearing the message “death to the pork eaters” and other threats against Christians continue to circulate. Selective curfews were imposed on Christians who defended themselves against Muslim violence and they were disarmed in at least one community.

See, this is horrifying, and that the Trump administration would give a pass on these atrocities only makes things worse, and betrayes tons of innocent and defenseless non-Muslims, who're not getting a chance to speak in front of the USA Congress on these issues. Marco Rubio isn't making things better by going along with this:

Rubio also argued in the Senate that sanctions needed to be dropped because Syria was weeks or months “away from potential collapse and a full-scale civil war of epic proportions, basically the country splitting up.” Why this would be any worse than the current state of affairs in which Al Qaeda and ISIS terrorists run the country was not made clear.

“We want to help that government succeed, because the alternative is full-scale civil war and chaos, which would, of course, destabilize the entire region,” he argued.

Do we really want terrorists to succeed in ruling Syria? Is that in our national interest?

Why is keeping Syria united under Turkish, Al Qaeda and ISIS rule preferable to letting the various ethnic and religious groups forced at gunpoint to pretend they’re part of one country get their independence? Syria’s Christians would be more likely to benefit from independence than rule by an Islamic terrorist coalition with a history of committing atrocities against Christians.

Correct, and what Trump/Rubio are doing now is a serious betrayal of Christian communities in Syria and anywhere else in the middle east where they're still living. Somebody needs to gather a delegation of Christians to speak in Wash. D.C about this issue. This is going to end very badly so long as they keep on with this. If they really want to prevent horrors, they should help the Christian communities form an independent region, or even to come under Israeli sovereignty.
