On the eve of Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week, extremists in Syria are once again targeting Christians. 🇸🇾

This afternoon, tribal forces and terrorist sympathisers (mainly from the city of Qalaat al-Mudiq) launched a campaign of looting against Christian-owned property in the locality of Suqaylabiyah, in the governorate of Hama, as well as against civilians of that faith.
The security forces once again acted ambiguously: firing into the air to disperse the attackers on the one hand, whilst guiding and protecting them as they raided and destroyed property on the other.
This forms part of the systematic violence that the Syrian Transitional Government either approves of or condones, against Syrian minorities with the aim of sowing terror amongst them.
In Damascus, the Christian community gathered in front of the Orthodox Patriarchate in Damascus to condemn the attack on Hama.

This photo is from Russia, in the Kaliningrad region 🌳
It shows the 600-year-old “Kutuzov Oak,” standing in the middle of the fields. People work the land nearby — and yet the tree wasn’t treated as an obstacle. Life goes on, and it all fits together.
