The following extended historical review by Tony Badran is an exceptional piece on modern history in the Levant history. His reporting will shock most Americans by revealing the enormous lies being perpetrated by evil and unworthy interests.
Badran’s impressive resume is here. He is the news editor and Levant analyst for Tablet Magazine and a Research Fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. Tony Badran is a native of Lebanon and a friend of the incredible Caroline Glick.
Many Americans, particularly those who get their information from popular right-wing social media accounts and podcasters, now take it as an article of faith that there are ongoing massacres of Christians in Syria. Syria’s Islamist government, which in December replaced the Assad family regime that had ruled Syria for over five decades, is generally blamed. But more prominently, the massacres are said to be the fault of the United States and Israel, and the “neocons” who allegedly control both governments.
In fact, there has been no massacre of Christians in Syria. There was an uprising by Alawite militias, which is the sect of Muslims—not Christians—to which the Assad family belonged. Though Assad and his brother have left the country, local militias and loyalist commanders who had worked with the Iranians during the war have refused to disarm. With the new regime still lacking capacity and struggling to find its footing and impose central authority, these Alawite militia commanders, backed by Iran, started launching regular attacks against the new government forces. Earlier this month, they ambushed a unit of the security services, killing 16 soldiers, as part of a coordinated series of attacks—the most ambitious to date, and likely signaling Iranian and Hezbollah support. Since March 6, more than 1,000 people have reportedly been killed in the fighting, several hundred of whom appear to have been Alawite fighters and members of the new government’s security services.
and this revelation,
Attacks on “Christian Zionism” have long been central to the propaganda of terror-sponsoring anti-American regimes and movements, from the Palestinians to Iran, whose leaders describe evangelicals as deviant Christians who have distorted true Christianity—by which the mullahs mean the politics of local Christian communities that they rule over. This third world discourse is now being adopted into a full-blown op targeting American evangelicals, run most prominently by Tucker Carlson and his allies.
In April, Carlson hosted a Palestinian Lutheran pastor who routinely rails against American evangelicals and “Christian Zionism” as “imperial theology,” to denounce the American “religious right” and “Christian members of Congress” for supporting Israel’s war in Gaza and sending money “to oppress Christians,” instead of supporting “their brethren in the Holy Land.” Tucker framed the episode by singling out evangelicals, as he often does: “Many Christian churches in the United States, particularly evangelical churches, support [the fighting]. But there is virtually never a word about the Christians who live there. The ancient Christian community in Gaza, the West Bank and Israel proper.”
and this very shocking reveal,
The campaign doesn’t stop there. It’s now targeting evangelical readings of the scriptures, which inform their position on Israel and the Jews, under the guise of criticism of the “Scofield Reference Bible”—an early-20th-century study Bible (King James Version) annotated by the minister Cyrus I. Scofield, and which helped popularize dispensationalism. Carlson and his proteges (erroneously) trace the “heresy” of Christian Zionism to Scofield and his commentary. “The Scofield stuff,” Carlson noted, has had “massive implications for our foreign policy and in our domestic politics.” Carlson’s guest, country singer John Rich, helpfully informed his host that the Scofield study Bible was “connected to the Rothschilds.”
This is ugly and evil. I don’t have time to follow all these people and yet Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens and others are out there doing this…
That’s where Judeo-Christianity kinda came from … The Scofield Bible was funded by the Rothschild family. And it was pushed because they owned the publisher … so they had the deals that they could make to get that Bible into all the megachurches across whole denominations of Christianity. So that was when Christianity kind of got Jewified.” Other low IQ antisemites on social media like Jake Shields and Dan Bilzerian would regurgitate these talkers, asserting that Scofield was “paid by Zionists,” and calling the study Bible “complete Jewish propaganda,” a “Zionist psyop,” that “edited sections about Israel that were not in the original protestant Bible.”
