Unfortunately, Christians in Syria are regulary killed

I was in Syria a few times in the last year, personally been to many Christian towns and stayed few days in Monastery of Marmousa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monastery_of_Saint_Moses_the_Abyssinian

No christians were being killed. On the contrary, they told me their satisfaction with their new government. Christians live better than average Muslims, they have their towns, their churches. Nobody interferes.

So, what is the source about your claim? Maybe you can name a few of these Christians that were killed?

Unfortunately, the claim about the persecution of Christians in Syria can be confirmed from many sources. All you have to do is google it. The sources are from various sides and most of them are serious. I have no idea who you were talking to, but your claim is completely contrary to everything I can find.

Do you have any of these many sources on hand

As I said, just google it.

Syria Is Not Yet Safe for Christians under al-Sharaa - Providence

Despite much enthusiasm around Syria's new president Ahmed al-Sharaa, the persecution of Christian, Druze, and other minorities continues

"Since Paul the apostle first encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus, Syria has been one of the cradles of Christianity. Today, Syria is closer to a graveyard for Christians, as violence and oppression-fueled emigration threaten the virtual extinction of Christianity in Syria. Before the Syrian Civil War, Christians made up roughly 10% of the population, between 1.5 and 2 million people. Only an estimated 300,000 remain today. While their dwindling number is due in large part to the instability in the region, the new government, led by President Ahmed al-Sharaa, has escalated the oppression of Christians. The current state of religious minorities in Syria, along with the posture and structure of the Syrian Constitution and Parliament, effectively restricts positive change."

A relationship between two countries, based on two leaders or two parties will never ever have a future. At least if these two factors gone.

Brother,

None of your "sources" provide any proof. I may as well open up a webpage and claim that Muslims are being killed in Croatia. Does that make it truth? We all know about the information warfare on the internet. Why do you automatically choose to believe such news rather than beliving people actually been to Syria?

Here is Rita Badran:

Rita is an orthodox girl that is doing touristic guiding in post-war Syria. She has many clips showing how safe is Syria at the moment and how she likes the new government as a christian. She regularly takes western tourists around, including christian sites and show the world that they are safe and free. You should definetly follow her if you are sensitive about safety of the Syrian Christians.

Syria -unlike most of the Europeans countries- historically is a multi-cultural and multi-religious country. Christians have been living there with Muslims for 1400 years and nobody tried to erase them. Certain districs of Aleppo and Damascus are made up of Christians. There are no mosques there, you can find alcohol, women are not covered. Literally, everyone you see in the streets are christians.

Christian neighbourhood of Aziziya in Aleppo City.

The last village that still speaks the language of Jesus: Maloula.

Bonus: me, a local christian friend and American traveller in Maloula.

I can arrange you local friends to hangout in Syria, or get them their contacts if you want to learn the reality on the ground rather than believing propaganda.
