Christian denominations in Syria celebrated Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, the messenger of love and peace, on Monday by holding masses and prayers in churches.

Prayers and masses were held in a number of provinces, including Lattakia, Sweida and Hasaka, highlighting the values of love, tolerance and peace that Jesus Christ brought to humanity and praying for God for security and stability to prevail over all Syrian territory.

Aleppo locals are celebrating the 1st anniversary of defeating terrorism which coincides with Christmas celebrations through lighting up Christmas trees at the main squares and the houses announcing the return of peace and security to the city, and praying for the return of peace to every inch of the homeland.

On the occasion of Christmas and New Year, Hmeimim-based Russian Coordination Center distributed on Friday school bags, stationery and milk to the children of the martyrs in Ghassan Zwan School and those of the Russian community in Lattakia and its countryside.

Patriarch of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church Joseph Absi participated in the prayer along with a number of heads and representatives of Christian denominations in Damascus and the Ambassador of the Vatican in Damascus Cardinal Mario Zenari.

The Patriarch of Antioch and All the East, and Alexandria and Jerusalem has reportedly started refusing food in a show of solidarity with hundreds of Palestinians, who have gone on hunger strike in Israeli jails in protest at the administrative detention policy and harsh prison conditions.

Gregory III Laham, 83, started the pro-Palestinian measure on Saturday, Arabic-language Wattan news agency reported.

The development came a day after the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) announced that at least 15 Palestinians in the Israeli-run Ofer prison near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah had launched an open-ended hunger strike.

There are also reports that the Tel Aviv regime is considering force-feeding Palestinian hunger strikers in an attempt to put an end to their protest.

The Israeli Health Ministry has ordered hospitals to get ready to receive hundreds of hunger strikers. The ministry said hospitals should force prisoners to take medicines or nutrients if they are in a life-threatening condition or risk permanent disabilities.

Since April 17, more than 1,600 Palestinian prisoners have joined the protest action, dubbed the Freedom and Dignity Strike, which was initially called by imprisoned and former Fatah movement leader Marwan Barghouti……………………………

In 2013, 5 young men were kidnapped from the ancient Christian town of Maloula, during the NATO and Gulf state funded, Nusra Front/Free Syrian Army-led invasion of this extraordinary hillside town, that still teaches the language of Christ in its schools, Aramaic. For the first six months, after their kidnap, their families remained in contact with the kidnappers among the Free Syrian Army or so called “moderates” & Nusra Front aka Al Qaeda, then communications ended abruptly.
These hopes were cruelly destroyed recently when the executed bodies of the 5 young men were found close to the Syrian border and were identified as the kidnap victims.
The Martyrs’ names are : Ghassan Michael Shnis, Atef Ragheb Kalomeh, Shady Michael Thalab, Daoud Sarkis Milaneh and Jihad Mtanios Thalab.
The grief and rage was palpable, both from those close family members walking with the coffins and from the people of Damascus who flocked onto the streets to pay their respects. United in the senseless loss of yet more young lives in this 6 year war bieng waged against Syria by U.S.-NATO and Gulf state regimes.
God bless the martyrs of Maloula and take their souls into peace and rest from the turmoil on earth.
Farewell brave souls….travel well into the light…you will never be forgotten.

Marks of torture appeared were obvious on the bodies of the 5 men who were buried hastily on the Lebanese side of the Qalamon Mountain across the borders from Maloula.

This short documentary film Expulsion (Izgnanie), made for the Russian television channel Rossiia, focuses on the plight of Christians in war-torn Syria. This subject is worthy of greater attention than it has received in the mainstream Western media, hence our effort to subtitle this project.

After all, Christians are one the most persecuted groups in the world. Their depopulation is a general trend in the entire Middle East and North African region (MENA), not just in Syria.

This documentary states that, for instance, half of Palestine’s population was once Christian, but now only 5% remain. In Iraq, of the million and a half Christians prior to the U.S. invasion, only 10% are there today. In 2013, OSCE estimated that a Christian dies for his faith every 5 minutes.

It is under secular governments like that of Syria that different religious groups were able to peacefully coexist until recently. This documentary film and its participants reinforce this notion…

Il faut, sans tarder, lever les sanctions contre la Syrie et les Syriens!!! ~ Abolire, senza indugio, le sanzioni contro la Siria e siriani!!! ~ [Fra-Ita]

(FRA) ~ Nous appelons nos autorités à lever incessamment les sanctions qui affament les Syriens et les forcent à quitter leur pays !
En 2011 l’Union Européenne a décidé d’infliger des sanctions économiques à la Syrie, en les présentant comme des mesures visant des membres du régime, alors qu’en réalité elles imposaient au Pays un embargo sur le pétrole, bloquaient toute transactions financière et interdisaient l’échange de beaucoup de biens et produits.
La rhétorique sur les réfugiés qui fuient la Syrie est d’une parfaite hypocrisie si, en même temps, on continue à affamer, à priver de soins, d’eau potable, de travail, de sécurité et de la plus élémentaire dignité ceux qui ont le courage et la dignité de rester dans leur pays malgré les difficulté.

(ITA) ~ «Chiediamo che le sanzioni che peggiorano la vita quotidiana di ogni siriano siano immediatamente abolite»: questo l’appello che religiose e religiosi siriani indirizzano ai parlamentari e ai sindaci d’Italia e d’Europa.
Le sanzioni varate nel 2011 dal Consiglio d’Europa scadono alla fine di maggio 2016 e non devono essere rinnovate. Il loro impatto sulla popolazione è molto più grave di quello che si vuole far credere. La guerra e le sanzioni non lasciano altro scampo ai siriani che la fuga. Lo spiega l’appello delle religiose e dei religiosi siriani, impegnati ogni giorno a soccorrere le popolazioni, i superstiti di Aleppo come i milioni di sfollati interni.
Nel 2011 l’Unione Europea, varò le sanzioni contro la Siria, presentandole come “sanzioni a personaggi del regime”, che imponevano al Paese l’embargo del petrolio, il blocco di ogni transazione finanziaria e il divieto di commerciare moltissimi beni e prodotti. Una misura che dura ancora oggi, anche se, con decisione alquanto inspiegabile, nel 2012 veniva rimosso l’embargo del petrolio dalle aree controllate dall’opposizione armata e jihadista, allo scopo di fornire risorse economiche alle cosiddette “forze rivoluzionarie e dell’opposizione”.
Non solo: la retorica sui profughi che scappano dalla guerra siriana appare ipocrita se nello stesso tempo si continua ad affamare, impedire le cure, negare l’acqua potabile, il lavoro, la sicurezza, la dignità a chi rimane in Siria.

Al-Qaryatayn had been held by terrorist groups since late August. The liberation of the city proclaimed April 3 came days after Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) was pushed out of the ancient city of Palmyra, 100km (60 miles) to the east.

The jihadists apparently used a bulldozer to partially destroy St Elias Monastery, which dates back more than 1,500 years. Human bones from ancient graves are strewed amidst the rubble.

Inside the monastery there is an Assyrian church and all Christian symbols in it have been destroyed. In the church graveyard, the gravestones have been trashed and all the crosses removed.

Thankfully, the monastery’s beautiful old church is still standing, but has been severely desecrated. After an apparent attempt to set the building on fire from inside, the old beams look burnt and the floor is covered with burnt pages with texts in Assyrian from Christian holy books.

There is not one building left in Al-Qaryatayn that has escaped damage from the fighting.

Terrorists from DAESH, the so called “Islamic State” (IS, ISIL, ISIS) have bulldozed Mar Elian Monastery (a 1,500-year-old Christian Monastery, archaeological-artistic-spiritual World Heritage Site) on the western outskirts of al-Qaryatein city, 85 km from the central city of Homs.

The barbaric terror group used the heavy building machinery to take down the Mar Elian Monastery, a national Syrian treasure, which has stood in Al-Qaryatayn since 432 AD.

The monastery, which dates back to the 4th century AD, is deemed a center for interfaith dialogue in the heart of al-Qaryrtein city. It is also a key refuge for displaced people who fled terrorist organizations.

President Bashar al-Assad said the Syrian and Armenian people face the same challenges and dangers.

The President’s remarks came during a meeting on Thursday with the visiting delegation of the Armenian-Syrian Friendship Association at the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, headed by the Association’s President Tachat Vardapetyan.

Drawing parallels between the dangers facing the people of Syria and Armenia, the President said the Ottomans who committed massacres against the Armenian people a hundred years ago are today, represented by Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government, using the same tools, mainly terrorism, against the Syrian people.

Vardapetyan, for his part, stressed that the Armenian people stand by the side of the people of Syria in the face of the regionally-backed terrorist war waged on them, voicing confidence that Syria will get over this war and rout terrorism and its backers.

Why is the title of the article so harsh? Because if Angelina was successful at getting the United Nations to grant any kind of “No-Fly-Zone” or “military action” in Syria, the result would be death of millions and millions of Syrians.

Why? Because millions and millions of Syrians ACTUALLY SUPPORT Bashar al-Assad. This would lead to the death of all Syrians who would refuse to live under the rule of any outside predetermined government put together by the United States, Saudi, Israel or any other foreign country they, themselves did NOT vote in.

So this article speaks directly to you Angelina, and those who support your speech.

Syrians are a proud people who support their president. In fact Syrians, and civilians from around the world support Bashar al-Assad. Many of us do NOT buy into the lies main stream media have tried to shove down our throats. By the way Angelina, you must have missed the memo from the UN’s Carla del Ponte which stated after investigations were done it was determined that the “rebels” used Sarin gas in Syria. Oops, you must have missed that one.

Keep your damn hands off Syria!

Christian denominations in Syria, who follow the Western calendar, celebrated Easter, with celebrations limited to prayers and masses due to the circumstances in Syria and in honor of martyrs.

Greek Catholic Patriarch of Antioch and All East Gregory III Laham affirmed during the sermon that Christians of the East are unified despite the suffering visited on them by terrorists, adding that they are determined not leave their homeland.

The heads of Christian churches implored God to bless their homeland with security and safety and to bring to an end the suffering of the Syrians at the hands of terrorists, stressing that co-existence that distinguishes the Syrian people will enable them to achieve victory over their enemies.

They also hailed the unbreakable bonds binding the Syrians, pointing out that Syria will remain the homeland of love and peace.

On his sermon after the mass, Syriac Catholic Archbishop Kawak prayed to God to protect Syria and its Army and to achieve victory against terrorism.

While the Western-led, anti-Assad bloc mind-blowingly speaks of arming non-existent “moderates” to fight in Syria, they also continue to demonize and silence the very voices that offer a true means of bringing peace and stability back to the region.

Two of these voices are: Political and Media Adviser to President al-Assad, Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban; and Syria’s highest Muslim official and scholar, Grand Mufti Dr. Ahmad Badr Al-Din Hassoun. Both are highly-educated and convey messages of dialogue, understanding, and peace. And both seemingly terrify the West, which has been quick to sanction and deny them visas, lest the anti-Syria lies and propaganda be challenged before a Western audience.

Mufti Hassoun calls his Greek Orthodox counterpart, Bishop Luca al-Khoury, his cousin and brother. “Our grandfathers, 1,400 years ago, were one family. My grandfather embraced Islam and his remained Christian.” He maintains that he, as Grand Mufti, serves the Syrian people, period. “In Syria, there are 23 million Christians, and 23 million Muslims. My title is Grand Mufti of the Syrian Arab Republic, not the Mufti of a particular denomination.”

Political and Media Adviser to President al-Assad, Dr. Bouthaina Shaaban: “Not only has the West backed and trained terrorists in Syria, the so-called “opposition” they hand-picked to represent Syrians can’t even pretend to do so. “They adopted personalities who haven’t lived in Syria for 30 years! Further, they took the wrong step in closing embassies, instead of communicating with us and observing from the ground. In the name of ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ they are destroying our country”.

“Syria was formerly one of the fastest developing countries in the world, and one of the safest. We have free education and health care. We did not know poverty; we grew our food and produced our own clothing. At universities, 55 percent of the students were women.” Already, these are points the West would prefer remain unheard, points which dispute the lies that Syrians were living in miserable oppression prior to the faux-revolution, and also which could not be said about NATO’s Gulf state allies.

“The souk of Aleppo was the most beautiful. It’s now rubble, they destroyed it. In whose interest is it to destroy this heritage? Who is the beneficiary of this? I’m sure if the American public knew the truth about what is happening in Syria they wouldn’t accept Syrian people being slaughtered”.

“I told them, ‘We have baths which are over 1,000 years old and still functioning. I studied Shelley: they didn’t have baths 800 years ago in England. We did, we were having baths and coffee,’” she relates with a laugh. “Stop calling for us to be civilized. We are civilized!”

On the note of religion, Shaaban embodies the secular coexistence that is Syria. “I’m a Muslim, but I feel am partly Christian. I visit (Christian towns of) Saydnaya and Ma’loula. I celebrate Christmas, because it is something that I feel. There is an Arabic proverb which says: ‘Differences don’t mean that you don’t love one another.’ We each have our own different ways of life.”

Mufti Hassoun calls his Greek Orthodox counterpart, Bishop Luca al-Khoury, his cousin and brother. “Our grandfathers, 1,400 years ago, were one family. My grandfather embraced Islam and his remained Christian.” He maintains that he, as Grand Mufti, serves the Syrian people, period. “In Syria, there are 23 million Christians, and 23 million Muslims.

Syrian Catholic Archbishop of Hasakah slams Turkey for complicit in the abduction of dozens of Syrian Christians by DAESH

A prominent Syrian bishop says Turkey is complicit in the abduction of dozens of Syrian Christians by ISIL terrorists.

Syrian Catholic Archbishop of Hasakah-Nisibi said on Wednesday that Turkey is to blame for the recent abduction of at least 150 Assyrian Christians from villages in the border areas.

Jacques Behnan Hindo, who was speaking with the Vatican Radio, said Turkey is openly cooperating with ISIL Takfiri terrorists when it comes to transferring oil, wheat and cotton stolen by the terrorists.

“In the north, Turkey allows through lorries, Daesh (ISIL) militants, oil stolen from Syria, wheat and cotton. All of these can cross the border but nobody [from the Christian community] can pass over.”

He strongly criticized Turkey for its refusal to permit entry to the Christians who have been exposed to the threat of ISIL militants.

Thousands of Iraqi Christians have established their own military group and are training to fight ISIL in the Nineveh Plains of northern Iraq, The Arab Source reported.

Iraq expert Sajad Jiyad: “The Assyrians want their land back and they – as well as the Turkmen and the Yazidis – are sending a message that: ‘We are going to come back and we are not going to leave our villages and towns and our cultures to be destroyed. We want to come back to our homes and, no matter what we face, we’re willing to fight and take that back.’ I think that is a positive message for the entire nation.”

Last year, ISIL captured Iraq’s largest Christian town, Qaraqosh, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee. The towns of Tal Kayf, Bartella and Karamlesh were also seized by the ‘jihadists’. It is estimated that over 100,000 Christians have been displaced in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region of northern Iraq because of the ISIL advance.

John Michael, a British-Assyrian in Iraq, told the Catholic Herald: “This is our last stand, if this fails then Christianity will be finished in Iraq”.

Before 2003, the number of Christians in Mosul was approximately 60,000 before the US army invaded Iraq in 2003 when the town’s Christian population has started to decrease rapidly.
