In recent days, Syria’s formerly designated terrorist group known as HTS has conducted murderous attacks against Christians and Druze communities and seems set on destroying the survivors and what remains of that long-suffering country’s other minorities.
Unsurprisingly, the group’s erstwhile leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, claims to oppose such crimes against humanity. He has, after all, to keep up appearances of having moderated his historic Sharia-supremacism, for which he was rewarded by President Trump with legitimacy and sanctions relief.
It's time to reconsider the support Washington has given Syria’s jihadist regime and stand, instead, with our friends whom it is determined to kill.
