💔 הטרגדיה של הדרוזים בצפון סוריה: מחיקה מוחלטת של קהילה עתיקה
ברשתות הדרוזיות מופצים הסרטונים הבאים (את אחד מהם תרגם ופרסם ידידי הנהדר "מלך השכונה"), מתוך ראיונות שערכה התקשורת הסורית עם תלמידה בשם אלק עז א-דין מהכפר קפתין שבאזור ג'בל א-סומאק במחוז אידליב.
לא פעם כתבתי לכם כאן על האוכלוסייה הדרוזית הצפונית ביותר בעולם – קהילה שחיה על גבול טורקיה ושגורלה נחרץ לחיות תחת שלטון הטרור של אבו מוחמד אל-ג'ולאני במשך 14 שנים.
קהילת ג'בל א-סומאק עברה מסע שיטתי של אסלאמיזציה כפויה:
כפיית קוד לבוש והתנהגות קיצוני.
החרבת ח'לוות ומקומות קדושים.
נישואי כפייה של נערות ונשים לג'יהאדיסטים זרים שיובאו מכל רחבי אסיה.
ערב מלחמת האזרחים מנתה הקהילה עשרות אלפי בני אדם. כיום? אפשר לומר בפה מלא שהיא הוכחדה תרבותית ודמוגרפית: רבים נמלטו, אחרים נרצחו, ומי שנותר – נראה ונשמע בדיוק כמו הילדה הזו בסרטון.
למען הסר ספק: שום ילדה דרוזית לא מתלבשת, מתנהגת או מדברת כך.
בקרב דרוזים רבים בסוריה ובלבנון מופנית אצבע מאשימה ישירה לווליד ג'ונבלאט "העות'מאני", שנאמנותו העיוורת לציר אנקרה–דוחה והסכמתו להפקיר את האזור הביאו למחיקתה המוחלטת של ההתיישבות הדרוזית הצפונית ביותר על פני הגלובוס.
צפייה כואבת (ומפקחת).
Qatar spends millions on building Islamist-controlled mosques across Europe but doesn’t allow Christians to build places of worship in Qatar.
The €10 million Islamic Center in Rijeka, Croatia, which opened in 2013, was fully funded by Qatar.
Like most Islamist-controlled compounds funded by Qatar, the one in Rijeka is not just a place for Muslims to pray.
It includes a multipurpose hall, classrooms, a library/reading room, a kindergarten, a restaurant, offices for the Islamic community, guest apartments, and an underground garage.
This is all designed to create isolated communities detached from European society, making integration virtually impossible for Europe’s growing Muslim population.
The same can be said for the Islamist-controlled mosque built in Warsaw in 2015, which includes a cultural and educational center.
Samir Ismail, the former leader of the Muslim League, the organization responsible for the Warsaw mosque, was chairman of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE).
FIOE has consistently been described by numerous European governments as the Muslim Brotherhood’s umbrella organization on the continent.
According to leaked Qatar Charity documents, Qatar funded at least six Islamic projects in Poland to the tune of €2 million.
Croatia and Poland are Catholic countries with strong Christian cultures. The fact that Qatar is building its Islamist-controlled complexes in these countries should be a huge wake-up call.
Across the Middle East, some of the world’s oldest Christian communities are shrinking.
Decades of violence, persecution, social and demographic change have dramatically altered the region’s Christian presence.
Meanwhile, in Israel, the trend is positive: the Christian population has grown. 🇮🇱✝️
The numbers don't lie.

🇺🇸🇶🇦 Qatar has become the largest overall donor of U.S. colleges and universities since 1986, with $6.3 billion as of late 2025.
Over $2 billion of it flowed from Qatar to the U.S. between 2021 and 2024 alone.
Qatar became the top foreign funder of U.S. colleges and universities in the early 2000s.
It is worth noting that a large portion of Qatar's funding in the U.S. likely follows the interests of Islamist networks run by the Muslim Brotherhood.
The results of this Islamist influence are already apparent across many U.S. campuses. One may notice the level of support for Palestine, Hamas, Iran, and other Islamist terrorist groups among young American students.
Such a trend was unseen in the early 2000s, yet today there have been numerous instances of open support for terr*rism and Islamism, including antisemitic attacks, pro-Iran activism, and pro-Palestine encampments carried out on American campuses.
Islamists have poured billions of dollars to influence American students and brainwash the future elites of the U.S. into hating America and the West.
ترکیه جسارت انتقاد از اسرائیل را دارد. اما واقعیتهای میدانی چیست؟
هزاران سرباز ترکیه. دهها پایگاه و پاسگاه نظامی در سراسر سوریه، عراق و قبرس.
در حالی که تجاوز نظامی اردوغان مرز نمیشناسد و ترکیه ۳۶٪ از قبرس، ۵٪ از سوریه و ۲۰۰۰ کیلومتر مربع از عراق را اشغال کرده است.
اسرائیل موقتاً تنها ۰.۱٪ از سوریه را کنترل میکند - یک منطقه حائل برای محافظت از شهروندانش در برابر تهدیدات امنیتی اثباتشده.
Bethlehem - the birthplace of Jesus - was around 50% Christian under Israeli rule. Today, after three decades of Palestinian Authority rule, Christians make up roughly 15%.
During the Second Intifada in 2002, Palestinian terrorists violently seized the Church of the Nativity, turning one of Christianity’s holiest sites into the center of a 39-day armed siege.
Bethlehem’s ancient Christian community is disappearing. This is the reality of Christian life under Palestinian Authority rule.
Turkey has the audacity to criticize Israel. But what are the facts on the ground?
Thousands of Turkish soldiers. Dozens of military bases and outposts across Syria, Iraq and Cyprus.
While Erdogan’s military aggression knows no borders, and Turkey occupies 36% of Cyprus, 5% of Syria and 2,000 km² of Iraq.
Israel temporarily controls merely 0.1% of Syria - a buffer zone to protect its citizens from proven security threats.
My family and I escaped execution in Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill us. My parents were kidnapped by Fatah and were severely mistreated. Our home in Beirut was stolen by Palestinian Muslims. My wife's family escaped Lebanon because Islam wanted to kill them. Her ancestors escaped the Armenian genocide because Islam wanted to kill them. My grandparents escaped Syria because Islam wanted to kill them. My brother-in-law's family escaped Alexandria (Egypt) because Islam wanted to kill them. My family and I are leaving Montreal because Islam wants to kill us (the number of threats that I've received forced me to take a two-year leave from my home university). I'm moving to @olemiss /@umdeclaration to defend American liberties and freedoms from ideological threats. @LibyaLiberty, a vile Islamist who despises Jews, is now "reporting" me to my new institution because I dare criticize Islam. Imagine the chutzpah. I will NEVER stop defending the West from the dangers that it faces. Long live the United States.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!
Israel reaffirms its unwavering support for the sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity of the Republic of Cyprus and stands in solidarity with Cyprus, on the anniversary of the 1974 Turkish invasion.
The ongoing Turkish military presence in the north of the island, alongside Ankara's persistent attempts to alter the status quo through unilateral actions, is unacceptable.
As a strategic partner and neighbor of Cyprus, Israel calls for the resumption of negotiations toward a just, viable, and lasting solution to the conflict.
2,600 years ago Wednesday, fire swept through Jerusalem and brought down the First Temple, according to Jewish tradition. This week, archaeologists pulled a piece of that very fire out of the earth.
Massive wooden beams, blackened and charred by the flames that consumed the city in 586 B.C., were unearthed at Jerusalem Walls National Park in the City of David, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Monday. They had lain in place since the day Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian armies destroyed Solomon’s Temple.
The beams once formed the roof of an inner courtyard in a building close to the Temple. The wood collapsed in the blaze, but plaster melting off the walls flowed over it and sealed it, tucking the charred timber into a protective shell that would hold for 26 centuries.
“This discovery makes you feel that you are witnessing the very moment of destruction, the moment when it all happened,” said IAA excavation director Efrat Bocher. “It’s deeply moving.”
But the most haunting detail may be the choice the ancients made. When Jerusalem’s residents returned from the Babylonian exile to rebuild the city, the excavation directors believe, they left the ruins deliberately in place, laying the new city over the scars of the old. A landscape of memory, as Dr. Yiftah Shalev put it, seeking to preserve what once existed.
Given that I and millions of other Jews will be fasting on Wednesday in memory of the Temple, that impulse doesn’t feel ancient at all. Tisha B’Av is the same choice those rebuilders made, carried across 2,600 years: to keep the past present in their lives rather than pave it over. Commanded in Deuteronomy, it has since become an inseparable core of Jewish identity: “Remember the days of old, consider the years of ages past.”
בעידן שבו הציבור לא רק מצביע, אלא גם חושב שהוא יודע על מה ולמען מי הוא מצביע, העיסוק התודעתי המוגבר והשלילי במדינת היהודים הוא סכנה גדולה ליכולת שלנו לנהל עסקים, ליצור שיתופי פעולה ולנהל מלחמות. לכן, לא נדרש "משרד הסברה מתפקד", אלא דוקטרינה אחרת: מעבר מניסיונות הסברה הגנתיים ועבשים ללוחמה פסיכולוגית התקפית.
לשם כך דרושים שלושה צעדים:
ראשית, להבין את המציאות שאנחנו חיים בה: התודעה האנטי־ישראלית, ברובה, *אינה תהליך אורגני*. קטאר, איראן, רוסיה וסין מנהלות אופרציה אנטי־ישראלית ואנטי־מערבית פעילה באמצעות מוסדות רשמיים, כסף וחדירה למוסדות מקומיים ובינלאומיים.
שנית, להקים גוף לוחמה פסיכולוגית ברור, מתוקצב ומנוהל, שיפעל ב*מתקפה* תודעתית פעילה, כמו הנדסת אירועים תקשורתיים (האחים המולסמים מארגנים הפגנות ו'תוכן אורגני' כל הזמן), קמפיינים החושפים ומביכים את האויב (כאשר נחשף שקטאר מחנכת את הילדים של האמריקאי הממוצע - זה הוביל להתקפלות), והתקפה, גם צבאית, על מפקדי התעמולה וחיילי הסייבר של האויב, בדיוק כמו שאנחנו עושים כלפי מדעני גרעין.
במקביל, על ישראל להכשיר את החברה הישראלית להתחיל לחשוב במונחים של לוחמה פסיכולוגית, על מנת שנוכל ליצור אנשים שיודעים לפרש נרטיבים וליצור חדשים, להבין מה מניע יחידים וחברות ולהשפיע על האופן שבו אנשים חושבים ופועלים. במובן זה, הזנחת לימודי ההיסטוריה, הסוציולוגיה, והאומנות בבתי הספר ובמסגרות ההשכלה הגבוהה הם כמו הזנחת לימודי המתמטיקה והאנגלית - כלומר, הזנחת לימודי הליבה שבהם תלויה הישרדותנו.

🚨 JUST IN: The IDF has sent a very unusual notification warning to all of Northern Israel. A huge explosion will be heard in Lebanon in the coming hours. The IDF is about to blow up a massive Hezbollah underground terror infrastructure. The IDF said the earthquake detectors and warning systems might be activated, but there is no concern.
"Peace is tied to freeing Lebanon from the de facto Iranian occupation under which it has been living for decades."
— Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs @gidonsaar, during a joint press statement with South Sudan's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, H.E. Amb. Dr. James Pitia Morgan.
JD Vance must never become president of the United States.
Pakistan shielded al-Qaeda founder Osama Bin Laden after he masterminded the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attacks that killed 3,000 Americans and prompted the War on terror.
Just a couple months ago, Pakistan threatened to nuke India.
Just weeks ago, we caught Pakistan hiding & sheilding parts of the Iranian air force from us so we can't destroy it.
Dear @realDonaldTrump
If Iran did not want Hezbollah to fire at Israel.
Hezbollah would not fire.
Iran signs deal.
Tells Hezbollah to attack
Israel responds
Iran claims ceasefire broken.
U.S. pressures Israel
Israel gets blame
Iran wins more concessions
STOP BEING STUPID!
I lived in Lebanon for 15 years, and in all those years I never missed a speech by Hassan Nasrallah.
I read the Iranian-funded Hezbollah newspaper Al-Akhbar every day.
I met with people who personally knew Nasrallah and heard directly from them about the man.
After all these years, I came to one conclusion: Hassan Nasrallah was honest when he said in an interview on Al-Mayadeen TV in 2022: ‘The wishes of the Ayatollah are my commandments.'
Hezbollah would never do anything if Iran didn’t command it.
What David is saying here is 100% true.
The relationship between the United States and Israel is incredibly valuable to both partners. As CIA director, I saw firsthand how many American lives were saved thanks to Israeli intelligence. We must never forget who are friends - and our enemies - are.
