“October 7th on Steroids” Inside Syria’s Brutal War on the Druze — Khalifa Khalifa explains
About this episode
Khalifa Khalifa is an Israeli Druze activist, veteran of Israel’s Special Forces, and outspoken voice for his embattled community. In this urgent and emotional conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Khalifa reveals the full horror of the jihadi onslaught currently engulfing Syria’s Druze population—massacres, beheadings, forced conversions, and hospital executions—while the world looks away.
As jihadist forces loyal to Syria’s new regime wage a genocidal war in Sweida, Khalifa offers a firsthand account of what’s happening on the ground—and calls for moral clarity, Western courage, and immediate action. This is a cry for help, and a warning: the forces slaughtering the Druze today will not stop there.
