A very interesting article which exposes the hypocrisy of Sup Forumstards regarding their blind support in favor of Assad. Recommend the reading.
>Assad had to devise a gambit to scare off a Western-led intervention while he got on with the dirty work of murdering his people - more than half a milion have died on all sides in the war so far and counting.
>And he calculated that nothing pollutes Western political discourse more effectively than any combination of the words “jihadist,” “Islamic fundamentalist,” or “terrorist”.
>For years, Assad had watched Israeli propagandists undercut Western condemnation of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza by conflating Palestinian resistance with “radical Islam” and by portraying Hamas as the face of the revolution.
>It’s a ruse Israel has deployed mercilessly to crush three intifadas, and incarcerate two million Gazans in an open-air concentration camp – while earning barely a raised eyebrow from the West. Assad also looked on as the West did nothing as Abdel Fattah al-Sisi overthrew a democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, and then slaughtered hundreds of its political supporters.
Would the West feel so constrained were US weapons ending up in the laps of Christian fundamentalist groups? Would the West accept these Christian fundamentalist groups being categorised as terrorist organisations?
And how would Western countries view Christians who travelled to Syria, risking all to defend Syrians from Assad’s barrel bombs and Iran’s militias?
No, no, and "as heroes" are the correct answers.
But Syria isn’t a Christian majority country, and Christian militants do not now lead the rebels. It’s a Muslim majority country and the rebels are now led by Muslim militants.
That's why rather than view them as heroes, we automatically vilify those Muslims who travel to Syria to fight Assad as “terrorists,” strip them of their legal rights and, in some cases, their citizenship. Even Muslims who have traveled to Syria to work for aid agencies have been charged with terrorism.
When you change the identity of the rebels from Islamist to Christian fundamentalist, finding moral clarity suddenly becomes less difficult. Assad is objectively the bad guy in this fight and on the other side just happens to be a religious identity your Western sensibility is uncomfortable with.
How times change. When the Soviet Union was the West’s sworn enemy, the West had little difficulty in identifying Muslim militants as the "good guys" during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. “This film is dedicated to the brave Mujahideen of Afghanistan,” read the closing credits to Hollywood's version of the war, Rambo 3.

most likely how they did in lebanon. Israel would attempt to vassalize the rebel movement and international jihadists would flood in to counter israel.
Easton Mitchell
Not at all
We don't give a fuck about Iraqi or Syrian Christians
That boat sailed a long time ago

Christian militants usually fight a just cause, whereas Muslims do not. It's really not very difficult.
Even Shiites are respectable. Hezbollah have done nothing wrong.

Honestly, and I hate it, but we need to nuke Damascus so Jesus can come back. Sorry OP but as a Christian we eagerly await the destruction of your capital as a sign that God incarnate is returning to free us.

Why would christians rebel against Assad?

>How would the West respond if most Syrian rebels were Christians? Christian, Hindu or Islamist, they're still shitskins

Ig they were genuine Christians, at least I could be pretty sure they will not take over this land and make it worse than it already is. I doubt they'd try to take it at all, but if they did, it could only get better

They wouldn't be, because Assad is the only thing standing in the way of their complete annihilation.

It just happen to be double no fucks given when talking about sandniggers and mudslimes.
Andrew Stewart
If they were christians, They wouldn't be rebelling because christians are ordered to observe the law of the land. Muslims, on the other hand think that no law matters unless it is sharia law.

Islam is a political system that does not recognize human rights.
So it is pointless to empathize with muslims or help them at all. In fact muslims will always be enemies.

Actually Iran probably destabilizes the region even more, but anyway.

Wrong, Israelis were the only ones to stand with Christians in Lebanon against both Syrians/Hezbollah and "Palestinians".

Sup Forums faggots who support Assad are either shills or just sandniggers at this point. Whichever you are, fuck off to Syria and don't come back you disloyal pieces of shit.
God-Emperor Trump put a beating on that dune coon and these faggots actually took the side of a sandnigger over a white man. Face it faggots, Israel is our ally, not your raghead Ayatollahs in Iran or chemical Assad.
checked. everyone destabilized everyone. Its a fucking petri-dish of amoeba-eat-amoeba sociopaths.

Sweden, Germany and other European countries have been specifically rejecting asylum applications from Christians during years. To their eyes Christians are perfectly safe in muslim lands because Islam is peace. Implying otherwise is "racist".

Shills are still pushing the "Gas Attack" narratives when its well known that the "Moderate Rebels" & White Helmets linked to McCain have been active doing them?
Fascinating when you consider France has a history of backing those same Rebel groups since Libya, and now they are setting up shop in Europe.
The OP isn't even a European.

There are less Christians in Syria and Iraq now than there were 40 years go. Literal genocide and nobody said a thing.

It doesn't matter who they are, if America didnt fund ISIS and Al-queda to fight Assad the war would've been over years ago. There is much more blood on America's hands than Assad's. Iraq, libya, and afghanistan have really flourished since being liberated haven't they? At least they got new (((central banks)))

They'd probably do the same thing they do for the genocide of Christians in the Middle East now, nothing. If anything that highlights the lefts hypocrisy,

Christians have proven themselves able to produce stable, secular governments. Radical Sunni Jihadists have not.
Lucas Jenkins
Syrian Christians are just as bad as their mudslime counterparts. Believing in Jesus won't change the fact that they are primitive cavemen.

Were the people in the middle-east Christians, we would have no motivation to go over and kill all of them and reclaim our relics.

Henry Young
If you switched Muslim for Christian, they wouldn't be doing half of the shit we find offensive like torturing non-believers to death you fucking idiot.
It's not that they're Muslim so they're offensive, it's that they commit certain offensive acts because they're Muslim.
Easton Perry
Riddle me this: how would the west feel about muslims, the word jihad etc. If millions and millions hadn't moved to Europe, set up numerous rape gange and commited huge numbers of terrorist attacks all across the west?
Colton Morris

The same way they respond to the Christians being persecuted in the Middle East for decades: by doing fucking nothing. Churches have been burned down and Christians killed for years but literally no one cares and the media doesn't even cover it in the West.

The Muslims should kill off the Jewish people. Our governments can go back to doing what their white populations want instead of being slaves of israel
Ryder Smith
They're not though. Most of the rebels hate Christians, and Assad's protection of marginalized religious groups in Syria is part of what led to the civil war.
Samuel Walker
Why would Christians rebel against a government actively protecting them from the likes of ISIS?
>while earning barely a raised eyebrow from the West.
Bullshit, opinion in the West is deeply divided over Palestine. The only country where support for Israel remains consistent is the United States and even here, it's been gradually declining for the past decade.
Jaxon Torres
Christians are the most persecuted religion in the world. The Pope just went to Egypt because they're being genocided by the kebab hordes there.
