Description

On this episode of the Shoulder to Shoulder Podcast, Pastor Doug and Rabbi Pesach speak with Mansur Ashkar about the dire situation facing the Druze community in Syria. As the al-Sharaa regime tightens its grip and threatens the ancient Druze stronghold of Suwayda, Mansur explains why Israel is stepping in to help—quietly but decisively—while much of the world looks away. He also critiques the U.S. government’s dangerous misunderstandings of the Syrian reality, contrasting it with Israel’s moral clarity and strategic grasp of the region. This is a gripping and eye-opening conversation about identity, survival, and what real intervention looks like.
