'Hypocrisy': Chris Cuomo Slams Lib Silence on Syrian Massacre #Political
On Tuesday night’s broadcast of NewsNation’s Cuomo, eponymous host Chris Cuomo lit into what he calls the “pro‑Pal left” with a rhetorical grenade: “I bet you think I’m talking about Gaza… I baited you on purpose to make a point.” Then dropped the kicker: he wasn’t talking about Gaza at all, but about the Syrian Druze, an ethnic minority being massacred by Islamist militias and Syrian forces, with barely a peep from the outraged voices that usually dominate cable news and campus protests with their usual anti-violence messages.
More than 300 people have died in recent sectarian violence in Suwayda province, and U.N. monitors confirm that hundreds of Druze civilians were executed or summarily shot, including a 35‑year‑old American from Oklahoma, Hosam Saraya.
Cuomo was clear: “So why no noise on social media from the pro-Pal left? Is it because Muslims are doing the killing? Is it because it's not Israel that's doing the killing? Israel actually took military action to help the Druze. What a weird thing for a genocidal state to do.”
He highlighted an important point. The left, who are typically the first ones to protest, tweet, and shout against any form of this kind of violence, were quiet. He asked a significant question: “Why?”
Providing rhetorical answers, he hit the nail on the head. This conflict in Syria highlighted liberal contradictions. Either this proves that the left only speaks out against whatever politically correct issue is at hand in an effort to seem relevant, or they refuse to speak out against Islamic violence because for years they have preached that Islam is a peaceful religion and they don’t want to get caught with egg on their face.
Or perhaps, as Cuomo suggested, it is more sinister than that: the left despises Israel so much that they can’t even acknowledge any good thing that Israel does.
Cuomo seethed: “Well, AOC will talk about Epstein, call the President a rapist, accuse Israel of genocide—but nothing about the Druze.” And Bernie Sanders? “Saying Israel’s committing war crimes. Nothing about the Druze.”
He skewered liberals, the self‑declared de facto champions of minorities, as selectively outraged to fit an agenda, their moral thermometer somehow cooled when Islamists are killing innocents. While innocent ethnic minorities are being beheaded in churches by Islamic terrorists, the left is too busy shouting “death to IDF” to notice.
Contrast that with Israel’s response. Defense Minister Israel Katz said airstrikes that hit Syrian military tanks and ministry HQs were “a clear warning… we will not allow harm to the Druze community.” It wasn’t just jawboning. Israel dispatched humanitarian aid, flour, oil, sugar, to the region, while Druze leaders in Israel demanded swift and decisive action “to save them even at the price of taking responsibility for the risks.”
Cuomo earlier declared that is “a weird thing for a genocidal state to do.”
Moral consistency demands condemnation everywhere. Selective outrage is hypocrisy. Pro-Palestinian leftists are quick to call Israel genocidal, yet they’re silent as Syrian Druze die. Israel, far from being the global villain they paint, is the only country stepping in to protect an endangered minority.

CHRIS CUOMO: I’ll tell you what, this is not going to be an easy one, but this is what it is. It also has to be said, okay? Scroll up a little bit. There's a situation going on. That has to be discussed. Okay? Tens of thousands displaced. Food supplies are running short. Hospitals out of service. People dying, including children, including women. And we're not talking about it. It's happening in the Middle East. And I bet you think I'm talking about Gaza. And I know you think that because my tease about what I was going to say here, got you chirping on Twitter, and I baited you on purpose to make a point. I'm not referring to Gaza because if I were, I would start by calling on Hamas, the terror organization, to surrender and return the people they stole because that is the obvious way to stop the violence.
But I'm not talking about Hamas. I'm not talking about Gaza. I'm talking about what's happening to the Druze ethnic minorities in Syria. A situation that people who support Hamas in Palestine, the pro-Pal people, as I call them, seem to not care about at all. What hypocrisy. In just the past week, over 1,000 Syrians were killed in sectarian violence. According to one human rights group, nearly 200 Druze civilians were executed by Syrian Defense and Interior Ministry forces. Among those summarily executed, if you need a connection to us here at home for you to give a damn, was a 35 year-old American citizen. A guy from Oklahoma named Hosam Saraya. He'd gone back to take care of his ill father. The countless videos circulating of jihadis, going door to door executing people that they suspect of being non-Muslim. So why no noise on social media from the pro-Pal left? Is it because Muslims are doing the killing? Is it because it's not Israel that's doing the killing? Israel actually took military action to help the Druze. What a weird thing for a genocidal state to do.
Why would they help an ethnic minority of non-Jews when they were genocidal towards non-Jews? “Well, this is new. This is just happening.” BS. Radical Islamists kill early and often, just like Hamas. In March over 1,400 were killed in Syria, mostly civilians. Fighting between jihadists and Alawites and Christians, ethnic minorities. In the Sudan this year, another place you don’t give a good god damn about, there's been a spike in killing and abduction of the minority Christians by radical Islamic groups. And you don't give a damn about that. The people who are on these college campuses have never said a thing about it. In the Democratic Republic of Congo, dozens of Christians killed by radical Islamists, including 70 Christians found beheaded in a church. No outcry!
Why? Why? Israel stepped up for the Druze. Not a word, though. AOC, not one post about the Druze, but she’ll talk about Epstein, right? Call the president a rapist, accuse Israel of genocide, but nothing about the Druze. Nothing on the jihadis killing minorities in Syria. Bernie, talking Epstein, right? Saying Israel’s committing war crimes. Nothing about the Druze. “Well, it's because there's no U.S. involvement” the hell there isn't! You know, how much money we give Syria? You know, how much space we're giving this new government? “Well, they're Islamists, but they're not bad kind.” Yeah. Tell that to the Druze. Same with the rest of the powerful who are pro-Palestine. And you wonder why I question their commitment. Now, you know. We'll be right back.
