088 | The Persecution of the Alawites in Syria

Pietro is joined by Lili, a Lebanese-Syrian born woman who lives in Australia, and tells the heartbreaking story of the persecution of the Alawite community in Syria. Lili starts by giving a detailed rundown of the Syrian conflict, fomented by US funding of terrorist groups, and intensified when, under Obama, the US (and Australia) involved themselves militarily to enact regime change. Lili details her experience, and that of her family, as well as the broader Alawite community whose suffering is largely ignored by media and humanitarian groups in service of the US’s dogged support for Israel. For her safety, Lili has chosen to keep her identity anonymous. *Statistics corrections 17:51 min - Alawites make up roughly 10% of the Syrian community, not 2% as stated. 16:54 min - An estimated 250 000 Alawite men died in the front lines of the Syrian war, as opposed to 750 000 as stated.
