Recently Al Qaeda/ISIS took over Syria. This development was greeted with cheers from world leaders who had been working toward this very goal from the Arab Spring days. Now, they assured us, Syria would become a democratic paradise full of human rights.

Al-Jolani, the former Jihadist leader, made his world tour while Jihadis in Syria began massacring the Druze population. The Druze are a minority group considered illegitimate by Islamists. Israel has a large Druze population which protested in the streets. And Israeli planes struck Al Qaeda government targets in Syria. And the world condemned Israel. There’s been an official ‘ceasefire’ with the Al Qaeda regime in Damascus and videos still keep coming out of Jihadist massacres of Druze.

Three lessons here.

1. Letting Turkey put Al Qaeda in charge of Syria was a bad idea.

2. This is the Islamic norm. And anywhere they take power, this is what will happen to non-Muslims. Let’s not let it happen to us.

3. When Israel prevents a genocide, it’s accused of genocide.
