What Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and his followers committed in Sweida is not an isolated incident. It is a deep stain on the conscience of humanity — a continuation of a bloody path that mirrors the worst atrocities committed by the Nazis.
Inside the walls of Sweida’s hospital, they gathered doctors and nurses, men and women whose mission in life was to heal and save, and executed them in cold blood, just as the Nazis executed Jews in the death camps of World War II. There was no mercy for the young, no respect for the elderly and no regard for the sanctity of the sick or the wounded.

Even worse, credible reports confirm that women in the hospital were violated in acts so vile and depraved that only those stripped of every shred of honor, faith and humanity could commit them.

This was not a battle. It was not an act of resistance. It was a calculated, premeditated massacre, orchestrated by bloodthirsty criminals whose objective was to crush the dignity of Jabal al-Druze and terrorize its people into submission.
Munir DahirHistory will not forgive al-Sharaa and his gangs, just as it has not forgiven war criminals before them. And those who remain silent in the face of such unspeakable atrocities must know this: silence is not neutrality; silence is complicity.
The people of Sweida deserve the world’s outrage, the world’s solidarity and the world’s demand for justice. To turn away is to betray the very values humanity claims to defend.
