The Neocons and Zionists Finally Get Their Regime Change in Syria By Ryan McMaken

(How many American and Western churchians - as they repeat 'Israel has a right to defend itself ' and 'support our troops' doing what Israel dictates - are aware that both Israel and our troops are destroying Christianity in the Middle East?

Will Jesus hold us accountable for our ignorance? What did Hosea mean by "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge?

With the end of Syria’s secular regime comes yet another devasting blow to the dwindling communities of Christians in the Levant and the Middle East overall.

For at least twenty years, Washington has been systematically engaging in policies that have destroyed ancient Christian communities in the Middle East. The US invasion and occupation of Iraq in 2003 destroyed the secular regime there which had provided legal protections of Christians. In the wake of Bush’s war, violence and reprisals against Christians multiplied. Bush’s war there essentially created a power vacuum that allowed for the rise of Islamist gangs throughout Iraq, culminating in the rise of ISIS which systematically destroyed Christian holy sites, and Christians themselves, across northern Iraq.The Ethics of LibertyRothbard, Murray N.Best Price: $9.63Buy New $19.00(as of 02:25 UTC - Details)

While claiming to be against radical Islam, the Bush administration, and every president since, has chosen to ally with some of the most brutal Islamist regimes of the Middle East—especially Saudi Arabia—which has all but totally outlawed Christianity for generations. The US has instead set itself against the regimes of the region that actually tolerate and provide some legal protections for Christians, namely Syria (under Assad) and Iran.

With Assad gone, it is likely that Christian communities in Syria will suffer as they have in Iraq. We are likely to see Islamist waves of violence against Christian churches and communities, with new mandates for the hijab and other elements of Islamist dress imposed throughout the country. Given that the conquering group is essentially al-Qaeda, we might even expect the dynamiting of ancient Christian shrines and churches.

Syria, after all, is home to Damascus where St. Paul the Apostle first became a Christian and was baptized by St. Ananias of Damascus. Syria was an important center of Christian theology in early centuries under Church Fathers like Ephrem the Syrian. To this day—but perhaps for not much longer—ancient groups of Christians pray the Divine Liturgy in Aramaic, the daily language of Christ.

This may soon all but vanish as Christianity is forced underground at the hands of these allies of Washington and Israel.
