Terrorist-ruled Syria has become an extension of the illegal Zionist entity, and of course, a slavishly client state of the US for implementing in the region the criminal policies of Washington.
The main victims of the takfiri clique ruling Damascus since the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad are the Alawite minority, which for almost 55 years gave stability to Syria by turning it into a steadfast frontline state against the devilish bid to create ‘Greater Israel’.
According to reports, over the past few months more than 8,000 Alawite civilians, mostly the elderly, women, and children, were massacred by the regime in cold blood for no fault.
The bloodbath might increase in view of the recent green signal given by the US to the terrorist ringleader of the Damascus regime, Ahmad ash-Sharaa (a wanted criminal himself), to recruit in the Syrian army the tens of thousands of takfiri terrorists responsible for the death of almost half-a-million Syrian people in the ten year period from 2011 to 2021.
The Alawites who are predominately concentrated on the Mediterranean coast of Syria account for a little over ten percent of Syria’s 21 million population.
Known as a peaceful Muslim sect, they are fierce nationalists and strongly oppose the illegal Zionist entity, and this is the reason for US enmity towards them, even though they are on good terms with the other ten percent Christian population of Syria.
In fact, the Syrian Christians whose roots extend to the days of Prophet Jesus (peace upon him) are also among the targets of the takfiri clique and thus shunned by the US for their opposition to Israel.
Several hundred Alawites have fled to Lebanon to avoid violence and death, eking out a precarious existence in graveyards and dilapidated mosques, without the least aid from any international human rights agency.
Syria also has a ten percent-plus population of ethnic Kurds as well as Druzes, and both these groups are victims of the ruling US-Israeli supported takfirist. 
In such a situation, it is the duty of the UN and human rights bodies to help the Syrian people from the periodic bouts of mass massacres by the terroristic regime in Damascus, affiliated to the Zionist entity and the US.
In not Syria will be absorbed in the satanic Zionist design to create ‘Greater Israel’ from the banks of the River Euphrates to the banks of the River Nile in Egypt.
