Syrian Christian group contradicts NBC’s claim that Christians have been killed in Turkey’s Syrian incursion

Oct 12, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The international political and media elites are so avid to destroy President Trump that they have turned from their rhetoric denouncing endless wars to denouncing Trump for ending one. These denunciations are being accompanied by a steady drumbeat of fake news. Here is the reality.

“Syrian Christian group urges NBC not to mislead public,’ by Faruk Zorlu, Anadolu Agency, October 12, 2019:

One of the world’s oldest Christian minorities, Syria’s Arameans, urged NBC News early Saturday not to mislead the public by covering a false report about Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring.

NBC News claimed Thursday that two Syrian Christians were killed overnight in Turkish strikes, citing the Syriac Military Council militia.

It also said that Baderkhan Ahmad, a Syrian-Kurdish journalist reporting from Qamishli city in northeastern Syria, said a Christian mother and her child were killed in his neighborhood.

In a Twitter post, the World Council of Arameans (Syriacs) said “zero Christians” have been killed in northeastern Syria during Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring.

“To media: please verify your sources. At least cite non-YPG ones as well. Rectify your current articles. Don’t mislead your readers and the public. Stop frightening our people at home!” it added….

    It’s hard to find the truth about this war in Syria and what Turkey is actually doing? Assad is for sure a muderous dictator!! A known fact for many many years!
    I did learn that only about 50 US troops were relocated! Not 500 as the liberal lying media would have
    you believe! I trust Pres Trump and his cabinet made a decision based on many factors and time will show it was a wise one!! God bless the Christians and citzens struggling in Syria!
    God bless America!!
    Trump 2020. Our only hope!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏

    The Drums of the DEM FAKE MEDIA are beating 24/7 to Ride to the Rescue of the Kurds, “Our Most Trusted Ally” SINCE WHEN? No Call at All to Rescue Our OWN MEN & WOMEN under Seige, in a HellHole called Benghazi, but the LEFT demands Protection for the Muslim Kurds. The Fake Media Is printing the News, provided by THEIR OWN “Trusted Allies” in the Region, which is not ALWAYS FACTUAL.

      Theo , something is very wrong here , Anadolu Agency is the media source = Turkish state run media outlet = Turkish state -propaganda . Then these other articles from Andrew Bostom and Robert Spencer more or less only vilifying the Kurds here . Johny Messo is not reliable at all . Seems he has a proverbal loaded gun pointed at his head …..Then this loyalty to Trumps politics without any criticism , Trump who doesn’t think it is a good idea to inform his allies before doing drastic steps in northern Syria , Trump who fires his advisers in case they say things he doesn’t like . Trump who has surrounded himself by yes-men . Trump the autocrat . The megalomaniac………… Something stinks here

        Those are Turkey’s FSA foederati, they’re part of the “Peace Spring” invasion force, but the turkish Army also prays regularly and before every battle. On the Eve of the invasion the Diyanet ordered all turkish Mosques to pray for the success of the ‘jihad’.

    I wouldn’t doubt for a moment that Turkish muslim shit have already killed fellow Christians in Northern Syria. I feel for all Christians caught up in Syria at the moment. And I also wouldn’t doubt for a moment that Kurdish Christian forces would not be confirming any casualties, and this is quite understandable, it’s expected morale and warfare propaganda. The first casualty in war is truth and factuality. But anybody who thinks that Turkey hasn’t managed to exterminate any Christians since starting their invasion and shooting match is, quite frankly, not to f**king bright.

    • SAFI says

      Oct 12, 2019 at 8:01 pm

      Yeah pretty naive to expect that Christians will be left unharmed especially when you consider that thousands of FSA and Al-Nusra jihadis are integrated into the invading force.

      ” Anadolu Agency ” : is RUN BY THE TURKISH STATE , pure propaganda tool for Erdogan . Really sick . Not credible at all .What has happened to Jihad watch ? Mister Spencer , how can you publish something right out of Erdogans propaganda machine as if it is credible information ? REALLY !

    So Turkish bombs are so smart they know to kill Kurds but not Syrian Christians? Hey, we need to buy our ammo from Turkey! But of course Turkey is not the discriminating. Hopefully, they target some ISIS internment camps without hitting a fence. Otherwise, the US will have a lot of (ex-?) ISIS supporters returning and they won’t need to pass by Mexico.

    Anadolu Agency ???????? Seems a media outlet serving the ISLAM-FASCIST Erdogan to me . NOT reliable at all . This is very wrong . Jihad Watch is now a propaganda tool for Erdogan , Turkey ? Mister Spencer , are you allright ?

    Robert Spencer says
    “The international political and media elites are so avid to destroy President Trump that they have turned from their rhetoric denouncing endless wars to denouncing Trump for ending one.”

    But the point is that the Kurds/SDF should not have been abandoned so easily to the mighty Turkish forces bent on destroying them. The US might be right to withdraw its commandos now that IS is defeated there but it should only have been done after making sure Turkey does not attack. Not enough pressure was put on Turkey. The UN should have been involved. The Kurds deserved better.
    Threatening Turkey with economic sanctions now seems too little too late.

    There are many articles now trying to defend Trump poor decision to allow Turkey to invade kurdish controlled part of syria.
    By far, Kurdis are the most tolerant to christians in this region, actually many kurdish families in Kobani and other kurdish cities converted into christianity after seeing ISIS atrocities.
    Most Arab militia fighting alongside Turkey in this region are hardline Jihadist who hate christians even more than Kurds.
    Syrian christians who are in these parts won’t fate well…

      Turkey planned to invade regardless of the US shuffling 50 (probably many fewer) troops. Of course Turkey can’t be trusted. Or Assad. There will never be a good time to control our destiny. We are sending the second generation of US soldiers since the first Gulf War. Since the Beirut bombing, 3 generations. I sat in my office at McDonnell Douglas the day Iraq invaded Kuwait, wondering if any of the 24 F/A-18 fighters we had yet to deliver would matter. In my lifetime, none of our endless casualties for these people and their civil wars has helped. George W. Bush said, “We have to fight them over there or we’ll be fighting them over here.” Ft. Hood, Boston Marathon bombers, Ilhan Omar…they’re here, everywhere. Nothing to win. Let’s return to the policy of containment and import the Christian refugees. It’s over.
