When will the World start buiding Syrian Holocaust Museums ?
Did anyone else read about the ” Christian” Conservatives
in “Loyalty Oaths To Israel” Texas and Greg “Israel First” Abbot going absolutely crazy because a Teacher wants to re-examine the “Holocaust” and teach alternative lessons?
A better question would be, when will the poor Syrians come to realize that they’re living on someone else’s land… Greater Israel, from the Nile to the Euphrates? US Christian Zionists, 80% of whom voted for Trump in 2020, truly believe that the Ashkenazim are the rightful heirs to all of Palestine and then some. The destruction of Damascus figures into their crazy end-times eschatology. You can no more talk these folks out of believing that than you could talk them out of believing the Earth was created exactly 6025 years ago and that the Sun is its planet.

Sir, Your post is so timely because I just finished
reading : “Galileo: And The Science Deniers” by Mario Livio.
Pope Urban the 8th really wanted to burn this brilliant Scientist alive because he wrote that the Earth rotated around the Sun.
Which he said was “fixed” and did not rotate.
Known as The “Copernican Model ”
Galileo escaped being burned alive and was kept imprisoned for the rest of his life, but many lesser known Scientists were burned alive because they put Science before Catholic Dogma!
May God bless and protect all those fighting under the banner of the SAA together with all Syrian and Russian Pilots flying the planes doing so much to bury the US+UK+ISIS+SDF+ISRAELI Enemy.
May all of the truly deranged enemy be annihilated by those Russian and Syrian Pilots together with the SAA, Hezbollah & IRGC personnel on the ground!
Inshallah!
