What is this obsession with identifying with the foreign conquers of the Levant who enslaved our ancestors and forced us to adopt their language and identity? We are not Arabs; we are Rûm!
On this day, we commemorate the fall of Constantinople & remember the innocent victims of those first three days of Ottoman brutality.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again! We, the Rûm of the Levant, are not ethnic Arabs or Arameans. We are our own distinct and unique ethnocultural identity. Those who attempt to mislead our people into adopting Arabism or Arameanism betray the memory of our ancestors.
On this day, we commemorate the Massacre of Aleppo. On October 17, 1850, an angry crowd protesting the looming threat of conscription advanced on the city's Christian quarters looting, pillaging, & massacring both Rûm & Syriacs. Today, we honor their memory!
On this day in history, we commemorate the fall of Romaic Syria to the Rashidun Caliphate.

Arabs are not indigenous to Palestine or the greater Levant. Way to keep perpetuating the false myths of Arabism. Meanwhile, the region’s real indigenous people – Rûm, Assyrians (Syriacs/Arameans/Maronites), Copts, Amazighs, etc. continue to suffer under Arab Colonialism

Not only did Russia assist in the Arabization of Levantine Romiosini, but according to the current Patriarch of Moscow, life in the Ottoman Empire for Christians was a piece of cake!
