Ahmad al-Sharaa continues his charade of being a “moderate” who is ready “to make peace with Israel.” But he is no moderate. His soldiers have massacred Alawites in Latakia, Druze in Suweida governorate, and Christians throughout the country, but especially in Aleppo and Damascus. And now Syrian Arab Army soldiers have been chanting their genocidal threats against not just Israelis, but against all Jews. More on their genocidal chants can be found here: “Syrian army soldiers filmed chanting death threats against Jews in Damascus,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, August 17, 2026:
At a graduation ceremony for new Syrian army officers at the Damascus Citadel, officers chant:
“We’re coming for you, Jew, we’re coming.
We’re coming like a mountain of fire.
We’ll turn your body into ammunition
and make rivers of your blood.”This is happening as Ahmed… pic.twitter.com/Gt5eqcEcSW

“I am coming for you Jew…I will make your blood flow in rivers,” soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army chanted outside the historic Damascus Citadel on Saturday, according to Arab media reports and footage published on Sunday.
The soldiers stood in formation while chanting “Allahu akhbar” [sic] and “I will sacrifice my body” in protest of the situation in Gaza, according to the Arabic channel Al Araby TV.
The demonstration notably came after Israel rejected the 15-point plan for the Gaza Strip proposed by the Board of Peace, demanding Hamas first be disarmed.
Public statements and chants from security officials against Israel have intermittently circulated online since Ahmed al-Sharaa seized control of Syria in 2024. In December, footage showed members of the 60th Division threatening Israel….
It’s unclear if the Syrians really did thwart an attack on a rabbi or made up the whole story as part of Al-Sharaa’s effort to mislead the West into believing his regime was genuinely moderate. As for hotels offering kosher menus, and well-publicized discussions to return property in Syria to their rightful Jewish owners, these are part of the campaign to prove Syrian goodwill in an attempt to gain favor in Washington, and possibly a lifting of all remaining sanctions, and encouraging American investment, so badly-needed, in the country.
The National reported in June that Damascus was still investing heavily in expanding its military, with plans to double its forces to 200,000 personnel. The force would include foreign fighters and members of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and other radical groups, some of whom would reportedly be offered citizenship in exchange for their service.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham is the group that Ahmed al-Sharaa led during the civil war, and that was the main armed force that overturned the regime of Bashar Assad. These are Sunni Arab jihadists, determined to suppress all of the country’s non-Sunni, non-Arab, and non-Muslim minorities — the Alawites (who belong to a branch of Shi’a Islam), the Druze and Kurds, and the Christians. All of these minorities have been attacked since HTS took power in December 2024.
Why is the Syrian regime intent on doubling the size of its army to 200,000 men? It no longer faces an internal threat; the civil war is over. Nor do any of its Muslim neighbors threaten it. Surely this massive effort is meant to build up an army capable of threatening Israel’s north, in order not just to take back the Golan Heights that Israel won in the Six-Day War, but to be able to thrust deeper into Israel and seize still more Israeli territory in the Galilee.
Dr. Zoe Levornik, a security researcher at the Alma Research and Education Center, described the video as “concerning,” likening it to other videos where chants of “Khaybar, Khaybar, O Jews,” alongside Salafi-jihadist messages were documented….
The “Khaybar” chant refers to Muhammad’s conquest of the Jews of the Khaybar oasis in 628 A.D., when his men attacked the inoffensive Jewish farmers, slaughtering the men, and enslaving the women and girls, including the beautiful Jewish girl Saffiya, whom Muslim took for his own sexual pleasure on the very day when his men murdered her father and husband. The chant goes like this: “Khaybar, Khaybar, ya yahud! Jaish Muhammad soufa ya’oud!” which is a threat to the Jews: “Khaybar, Khabar, O Jews! The army of Muhammad will return” (to kill you all).
Committed and fanatical jihadists, members both of Al-Sharaa’s HTS, and of the Jabhat al-Nusra, a Salafi jihadist group linked to Al-Qaeda, are now being placed in senior positions in the Syrian army and in the country’s security services.
From Israel’s perspective, Levornik said there was concern that actors with jihadist and antisemitic views will gain a state framework, weapons, resources, and command over forces deployed near the border with Israel.
But what some in Israel worry is still to come is already here: the most fanatical members of al-Nusra and HTS have. been given senior posts in the Syrian Arab Army.
The America government should be warning the Syrian government that it is aware of the extremist background of the men being appointed to high posts in the Syrian Arab Army, and is also tracking the attacks on Syria’s many minorities — the Alawites, Druze, Kurds, and Christians. The Americans could reimpose the economic sanctions that it had lifted from Syria in 2025. It could also continue its current restrictions on specific individuals in Syria regime who have been linked to human rights abuses, and to terrorist networks.
It could continue the ongoing export controls to prevent Syria from obtaining much needed advanced technology, and could also decide not to remove Syria from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list. These threats should get the attention of Ahmad al-Sharaa, and he may rethink the appointment of extreme jihadists to senior positions in the army. And what will he do, if anything, about the Syrian Arab Army soldiers who happily had themselves taped, while standing outside the Damascus Citadel and chanting “I am coming for you, Jew…I will make your blood flow in rivers”? Will Al-Sharaa distance his government from this blood-curdling genocidal chant, claiming that “these soldiers do not represent the Syrian army”? Or will he do nothing because, after all, those are his own sentiments exactly?

Let these bastards “come” for the IDF. That will result in a bunch of dead Syrian Moose Scums, and that’s not a bad thing. In the meantime, we Israel should help the Kurds, obviously any Christians and the other groups. I voted for Trump three times but I have to tell you it’s a little bit disgusting hearing him praise that former terrorist that now wears a suit and tie and runs Syria. Syria it’s a shit hole who perhaps still believes that Lebanon belongs to them as part of a greater Syria. One thing we know. There’s nothing great about Syria. Never was. Never will be. Of course, is anyone with even a very basic knowledge of history. No, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world came about in Syria during the end of the first and the beginning of the second centuries. Shame on the civilized world that it hasn’t stood up for the Christians there against these dirt bags. Same thing can be said on behalf of the Kurds who have always been very helpful to the United States military.

Yeah, while al-Shara’a himself has been behaving, Israel needs to be wary of his regime & not let its guard down
Randy says
Someone fill me in. I’m kind of confused.
I thought their leader came to the White House and they cleaned up the bad Muslims out of their power structure. Also the new people are not attacking Israel or America . So who are these guys.
Assad was the guy we took out. And Turkey is our ally they control this new Syria. Also I heard Israel bombed the new Syria in a suit. I’m not understanding that one. We took them away from radical Islam, Iran used to control Assad and radical terrorism. They took it away right.
gravenimage says
It was Sunni Jihad terrorists backed by Turkey who took out Assad. He was pretty brutal himself, but was less bad than the thug in power there now.

Syria is one of the places Mamdani’s wife want to visit on “vacation” in late August that the NYPD refuse to sent their men with her to protect her right? The American state department has it on a list of places too dangerous for Americans to visit for good reasons .Strange a NYC mayor’s wife wants to visit a dangerous place run by a jihadists leader who has a bounty out on killing Jews.

She is a Syrian. While in the US, we consider naturalized citizens as our own, in countries like Syria, they’ll consider their emigres as still being their citizens – maybe their conquerors out in the world. Whenever she’s in Syria, not only would she feel at home: the Syrians would hardly feel like they’re entertaining a guest
If we had the same standards as Syria, it would be here that she would feel like she needed security, not Syria
WPM says
She has security here ,both her and her drama kid husband .It is paid by the NYC taxpayer .She had security when she went to Spain on vacation without her husband in July on “vacation “.Her husband is on “vacation” in up state NY without her as she jets off to Syria to meet with “relatives” that is what she stated to the press for more vacation without hubby . The Soros family lives in a compound in Westchester a Tony suburban area just north of NYC .I wonder if Manidaini is having a sit down with that criminal family?

Is anybody else having problems with ads continually intruding while reading articles on this website? Hasn’t been happening to me elsewhere except maybe at Pam Geller’s site.

Yep. I see “Before you go–” pop up on every post I read.

I finally switched to Brave and got rid of it. In b/w, my Proton VPN client was handling it great, but more recently, stopped intercepting it. But after I started using Brave, there is just a 1″ blank space b/w where the article ends and the comments begin – just as it should be

Thanks. It didn’t occur to me to try a different browser.

“They are demonic spirits that perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.”
“ Then they gathered the kings together to the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon.” Revelation 16
Israel’s islamic enemies, along with the rest of the godless world, will ultimately get their wish to unite and attempt to obliterate Israel and her people.
They won’t like how the story ends.

Syrian Soldiers Chant ‘I Am Coming for You, Jew’
……………………………………
Given that new Syrian dictator Al Sharaa is a Jihad terrorist, this scarcely surprises.
Stacy says
Remember what started the Syrian “civil war”?
Claims of Ashadd killing civilians protesting!.
But why were there 20,000 Qatari mercenaries there?
And don’t forget we saw these Syrian rebels murdering bus loads of Christian women and children.
