The Death of the Antiochian ethnicity in Romaiki Syria.
By Ilias Michail

In 1860, fearing the possibility of a successful uprising similar to the one in Greece, the ruling Ottomans influenced the local Muslim population into attacking the Christian community of present day Syria and Lebanon. There are several reasons for this assault. The Ottoman powers had been compromised by many outside forces, such as the imperial powers of Europe and Russia, who wanted to trash the empire, but not, in a way, that would hurt European interests. By the time of the attack the Ottoman Empire was called “The sick man of Europe” due to its demise. When the massacres, which started in present day Lebanon reached the Christian quarters of Damascus, over 10’000 Antiochians were forced to give their lives for the crime of simply being Roum.

UPDATE – Have you called your Congressman in the name of Greek Human Rights?

For Immediate Release – July 10^th, 2014

Last week, Operation Antioch asked all Greek-Americans to take 5 minutes from their busy lives and call their Congressmen, in order to prevent the United States from sending $500 million in aid to the so-called “moderate” Syrian Opposition. The current American policy of aiding terrorists in the hopes of forcing regime change in Syria has backfired. Instead, it has led to the rise of a radical Islamic Caliphate, which now threatens all the sacrifices made by the young men and women of the United States military in neighboring Iraq.

رسالة إلى روم المشرق المستعربين

أعزائي المستعربين ،

منذ أكثر من 100 سنة، ونحن نلعب دور الحرباء، اقنعنا أنفسنا أنه من أجل العيش بسلام في أرض أجدادنا، يجب علينا أن نقبل اعتماد ثقافة حضارة أجنبية. ومع ذلك، فإن أيام السلام والتعايش المشترك بدأت تتلاشى بسرعة. تتسارع الأحداث في جميع أنحاء بلادنا، ولا بد أن نسأل أنفسنا الى أين سيوصلنا دعمنا المتواصل للعروبة.  قد يشعر الكثير منكم بعدم الارتياح لهذا الطرح، ومُسائلة التزامنا بالحضارة العربية قد يبدو غير عقلاني، وربما إهانة، ولكن دعونا نفحص 

 حقا ما جلبت لنا العروبة نحن الروم.
