The hypocrisy of the international community is once again on full display. When Israel took decisive action to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile, the world erupted in outrage, condemning it as an act of aggression. Now, under the rule of Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, the former Al-Qaeda leader turned ruler of Syria, we are witnessing his forces committing ethnic and religious massacres against Christians and Druze—and yet, the same voices that attacked Israel remain silent. Had Israel not neutralized those deadly weapons, we would be witnessing a the slaughtering of historic proportions, with chemical agents being used to exterminate entire populations overnight. The world refused to acknowledge the danger of Syria’s vast arsenal, and now that it has fallen into the hands of jihadists, their only concern is maintaining their anti-Israel narrative rather than confronting the true evil they once protected.
Al-Jolani, a man who once led Jabhat al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda’s most powerful affiliate in Syria, has now solidified his control over the war-torn nation, rebranding himself as a legitimate ruler while continuing his jihadist ideology. His forces—many of them former Al-Qaeda and ISIS militants—are waging a campaign of terror against Christian communities and the Druze minority, whom they see as enemies of Islam. Reports from within Syria describe mass executions, forced conversions, the destruction of churches and religious sites, and widespread ethnic cleansing. Yet, the United Nations, Western human rights organizations, and global media outlets, who once rushed to condemn Israel for striking Syria’s chemical weapons facilities, are now ignoring the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe. Their silence is not an accident—it is a deliberate choice to avoid admitting that Israel was right all along.
Had Israel not eliminated Assad’s chemical weapons stockpile, the consequences today would be unthinkable. The same Al-Qaeda-linked militants who are now butchering Christians and Druze in the streets would have access to nerve agents like Sarin and VX gas, capable of wiping out entire communities in hours. The world’s condemnation of Israel for acting in self-defense was always based on political bias, not facts. The truth is that Israel’s actions prevented a genocide that would have dwarfed anything seen in Syria’s brutal civil war. Instead of acknowledging this reality, global institutions continue to peddle the same anti-Israel rhetoric, proving that their agenda has never been about human rights—it has always been about protecting terrorists at the expense of Israel’s security and global stability.
