The atrocities unfolding on Syria’s coast and elsewhere mark one of modern history’s most horrific sectarian crimes.

The transformation of Gaza, or at least its coast, into closed housing and tourist developments has already been tested and has been in place for almost a quarter of a century.

The situation in northwestern Syria continues to spiral out of control this weekend, as the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) has been surging forces into the Alawite homelands in the Latakia and Tartus Governorates, clashing with Alawite militias and slaughtering civilians.

Though von der Leyen, Jolani and those other flawed specimens of humanity must answer for their own crimes, so also must we answer for our own sins of omission and commission.
