1/ On March 7, 2025, an Alawite hecatomb: humanity butchered in blood-soaked rituals, perpetrators proudly filming their infernal spectacle. Women wailed in horror as children were dragged from homes and slaughtered alongside husbands, fathers, and grandfathers.

2/ Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, absurdly recognized internationally as Syria’s "legitimate security forces," proudly broadcasted their atrocities: civilians forced to crawl, bark, beg—until bullets silenced their pleas; women’s and children’s bodies piled into a grotesque monument.

3/ Yet, mainstream media sanitized this massacre into oblivion. AP News callously reduced it: "Clashes in Syria between government forces and Assad loyalists kill more than 200." Victims erased, slaughter obscured, murderers legitimized.

4/ Al Jazeera perpetuated the lie, blandly labeling a genocidal bloodletting as mere "clashes," deliberately obscuring the truth, and hiding accountability behind a veil of journalistic cowardice.

5/ The United Nations, in willful blindness, ignored today's apocalypse, instead fixating on geopolitical ghost stories: "Post-Assad Syria faces critical test over eliminating chemical weapons." Detached from reality, morally bankrupt in response to atrocity.

6/ Amnesty International—purported champions of human rights—remain deafeningly silent. Thousands of recent posts, yet not one acknowledges the March 7 massacre. Human rights selectively upheld; inconvenient slaughter ignored.

7/ The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights cloaked atrocities in deliberate ambiguity: "240 people were killed, died and were martyred in different circumstances." No justice, no dignity, only bureaucratic neutrality toward genocide.

8/ The pinnacle of hypocrisy emerges in the international community's embrace of murderers. German FM @ABaerbock , self-proclaimed advocate of a "feminist foreign policy," eagerly legitimized HTS leader Jolani—even after his extremist disdain publicly rejected her handshake.

9/ Two Months before this slaughter, Baerbock brazenly urged Syrian minorities to disarm and surrender to Jolani. Countless women now bear witness to unimaginable horrors, having watched their beloved slaughtered by the very force Baerbock endorsed.

10/ Today, on International Women’s Day, Alawite mothers mourn in unspeakable anguish, their children butchered, their husbands and sons erased in Syria’s bloodiest massacre in years. This was not just mass murder—it was the calculated destruction of a people’s continuity, the annihilation of a generation essential to their survival.

11/ This was genocide not only by extermination but by erasure—designed to sever identity, and strip the victims even of the dignity of remembrance.

Yet the greatest crime is not just the butchery itself, but its concealment. Sanitized by media euphemisms and diplomatic cowardice, this atrocity has been washed of its horror, its perpetrators granted legitimacy by an international community whose silence is complicity.

12/ And that silence has been understood as approval. The massacre has not stopped. At this very moment, a mass killing operation is underway in the Qusour neighborhood of Baniyas, where Alawite and Christian families are being dragged from their homes and executed in the streets. Among the dead, once again, are children.
