While global attention remains locked on Gaza, another atrocity is unfolding across the border in Syria - and almost no one is talking about it. 

In this episode of The Jewish Road Podcast, Matt and Ron Davis speak with Mansor Ashkar, a prominent Israeli Druze leader, to expose the silent ethnic cleansing of the Druze people by radical Sunni factions.

These are Israel’s allies - men who serve in the IDF, who have bled and died protecting Jewish lives - now watching their extended families be slaughtered just across the border. 

Some have taken matters into their own hands, crossing illegally into Syria in an attempt to rescue their relatives. 

This episode is not only a wake-up call - it’s a moral reckoning. Why is the world silent? And what does this mean for Christians and Jews who claim to care about justice?

Key Takeaways:
  • The Druze community is facing targeted violence in Syria, yet global media coverage is virtually nonexistent.
  • Mansor Ashkar sheds light on the history, loyalty, and sacrifice of the Druze people, and their deep connection to Israel.
  • Some Israeli Druze soldiers are risking everything to save family across the border.
  • This isn’t just a military story - it’s a humanitarian crisis happening in real time.
  • Matt and Ron call on listeners to see the spiritual and moral dimensions of this moment.
