Beneath the apparent silence and complicity of Legacy Media messaging, Western-supported terrorists, the same ones who have committed massacres throughout the Regime Change War on Syria, are massacring Syrians and committing genocide right now.

Article Two of the Genocide Convention defines genocide in these terms:

In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

Killing members of the group;

Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. (1)

The above definition includes a “mental element” of intent and a range of physical elements in which only one is necessary.

The elements of genocide, both mental and physical, have been recorded by terrorists themselves in Syria.

In the following video, as an example, a terrorist announces intent to mass slaughter.

Credible information confirms that a company from Idlib has taken control of the area for real estate investment.

In western Hama, the villages of Al-Aziziya and Arzeh were also completely depopulated, and families from the town of Khattab were settled there instead—following brutal massacres against innocent civilians.

In northern Homs, the village of Tisnin and its surroundings were forcibly emptied as well. Many other villages, neighborhoods, and residential communities in Homs and Rural Damascus are seeing their original residents being pushed out—either directly or through intimidation, threats, abductions, and killings.

Additionally, propaganda campaigns are promoting the settlement of Bedouin populations in various parts of the Syrian coast and some neighborhoods in Homs, replacing the original inhabitants.

This is a clear plan of demographic change, and it requires immediate action to confront it.

We call for:

Engaging international lawyers and human rights advocates in Europe, America, and worldwide

Mobilizing political parties and international public opinion

Documenting this as a new crime committed by the de facto authorities and their leadership: the forced demographic change and displacement of dozens of Alawite villages and bringing in new populations in their place

These acts are part of a broader ongoing campaign of genocide, adding to the long list of violations.

We will not remain silent. We urge everyone to resist this scheme and refuse to accept or normalize it.
