An appeal to the Christian Organisation in South Africa by the name of ‘Kairos’ “Please…leave Israel alone. Israel protects all its citizens and the refugees who escape the terror in their own countries. Do not be influenced by propaganda, emotionalism, and mindless indoctrination. Devote your considerable energies, intelligence and resources to the plight of Christians in Muslim dominated countries. The problem, of which you appear to be unaware, is no longer in your apparent mere indifference to the impending demise of Christianity in the lands of its birth, but in your active, ongoing, and open contribution to that demise.” In the words of Archbishop Selwanos Boutros Alnemeh of Homs and Hama: “What happened in Sadad is the most serious and biggest massacre of Christians in Syria in the past two years and a half… 45 innocent civilians were martyred for no reason, and among them several women and children, many thrown into mass graves. Other civilians were threatened and terrorized. 30 were wounded and 10 are still missing. For one week, 1,500 families were held as hostages and human shields…Among them children, the elderly, the young, men and women….All the houses of Sadad were robbed and property looted. The churches are damaged and desecrated, deprived of old books and precious furniture… What happened in Sadad is the largest massacre of Christians in Syria and the second in the Middle East, after the one in the Church of Our Lady of Salvation in Iraq, in 2010.” The archbishop concluded his statement concerning Sadad by asking: “We have shouted ‘aid’ to the world but no one has listened to us. Where is the Christian conscience? Where is human consciousness? Where are my brothers? I think of all those who are suffering today in mourning and discomfort: We ask everyone to pray for us.”
