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.”
