What will become of Syria's Christians?

By Rod Anderson, CP Cartoonist Wednesday, January 02, 2019

Dear brothers and sisters in the US:

The U.S. has been the one force that saved our people from ISIS. We are proud that we can say that we as Syriac-Assyrian Christians have fought side by side with the US. Our Syriac Military Council has been part of every battle against ISIS in North-East Syria. The reality is that we could not have won and protect our people without the US forces. Now Turkey wants to destroy all of us.

100,000 Syriac and other Christians will be killed or driven away if Turkey invades. Turkish jihadists hunted down the Christians and Yazidi’s of Afrin in Northwest Syria.

They will do the same again but at a much wider scale. The very same Turkish jihadists are standing ready and are waiting for the US to leave so that they can kill us and destroy our communities and Churches.

This disaster against our people will happen while the U.S. Army will be standing by in Iraq at a few hours driving distance. Basically, the U.S. Army will be looking on at a very short distance while Turkish-backed jihadists commit exactly the same crimes as ISIS.
