Spitting, Hitting Attacks on Christians are Surging in Israel

From CBN News. Obviously a Zionist bent here, but still troubled by the reports.

Christians in Palestine also suffer under the occupation.

The Rev. Munter Isaac to do some Christiansplainin' to y'all.

Rev Isaac's Christmas Sermon for those of you who missed it.

Oh, and Christians are persecuted as well.

Zionists attack Armenian Christians in Jerusalem

Yes, this is true. https://armenpress.am/eng/news/1127121.html

Over 30 armed provocateurs wearing ski masks and some carrying lethal weapons attacked a group of Armenian bishops, priests, deacons, and other citizens on Thursday in the Old City of Jerusalem, according to the Armenian Patriarchate.

“A mass and coordinated physical attack was launched,” the Patriarchate wrote in an official letter to the Police and Israeli government, which The Jerusalem Post reviewed. “Several priests, students, and indigenous Armenians are seriously injured.”

“They attacked us,” Bishop Koryoun Baghdasaryan, director of the Real Estate Department for the Patriarchate, told the Post.

 

Who are the terrorists in the Middle East?

Give 'em the Balfour Doctrine and Orde Wingate and this is how they show their gratitude... If you wonder why I am pro-Palestine, I know who is the real terrorist rogue state destabilising the Middle East. And it won't last long without the support of the United States.

And the genocidal, terrorist groups are: Stern Gang/Lehi, Irgun, and Palmach/Hagana which went on to become the Israel defence Forces.

"Never again" bullshit--the Israelis are doing it again. Is Yad Vashem a blueprint for genocide?





And for those American's who want to stand with Israel:

Bethlehem is a real city, and it's in Palestine

It's name in Arabic is Bayt Lahm and it's the home of Christianity. Palestinian Christians have been hit the hardest by the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing by the Zionist regime.

Jesus also known as ‘Isa’ (as) in Arabic. Jesus is revered and beloved to ALL Muslims. Jesus is mentioned in our holy book , the Quran, dozens of times and it has an entire chapter dedicated to his pious mother Mary. This is from Surat 'Āli `Imrān 3:45.

Palestine gave Jesus to the World: Give Palestine Freedom and Justice.

"Remember that Jesus was a refugee, that he challenged empires, and was always on the side of the oppressed.” Merry Christmas from the birth place of Christmas

"One question kept coming up while the tears kept flowing down: 'How can we be the land of Jesus and have this much pain and suffering with so much silence from people who claim Christianity as their religion?'"

Christmas under occupation

"Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled: A voice is heard in Ramah, weeping and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted, because they are no more." (Matthew 2:17–18).

The pope and archbishop of Canterbury have condemned Israel's actions--where are the condemnations from the secular leaders?

Season's Greetings for Christians from the Holy Land at war.

Some people would throw the dead bodies in your face. I'll just remind you that there is supposed to be peace on earth.

Seasons Greetings!

Since the other two are from Minnesota, here is a choir from that State.

 

Christmas Greetings from Bethlehem

How Can Christians Support Zionism?

Israel has had a serious credibility problem for quite a while now. It's only been recently that the world can see how dangerous this country is. I have been posting about the attack on Palestinian Christians for a while.

And Christmas is not being celebrated in Bethlehem due to the conflict.

Israel’s attack on the fifth-century Church of Saint Porphyrius in Gaza has turned the spotlight on the besieged Palestinian enclave’s Christian population. The region is referred to by name in the New Testament in Acts 8, which refers to Philip the Evangelist baptising a man from Ethiopia on the road between Jerusalem and Gaza. “Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, ‘Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.’ This is a desert.”

The Saint Porphyrius Church, is one of the most important religious sites in Palestine. Named after a fifth-century bishop, the site is one of the oldest surviving places of worship in the region and one of the oldest churches in the world. The church was initially built in 425 CE and then later reconstructed by Crusaders in the 12th century, with much of the present structure dating back to that period.



Another major Christian site in Gaza is the nearby and even older Tell Umm Amer monastery. The fourth-century structure, which now lies mainly in ruins, once included churches, a baptism hall, a cemetery and crypt. The monastary served as a place of worship for those travelling between Egypt and the lands of the Levant, including Palestine and Syria. The site is notable for being the birthplace of Saint Hilarion, a fourth-century Palestinian monk, who helped pioneer monasticism.

We can't forget the occupied territories in the "West Bank" which is home to quite a few of the events in the Bible. Unfortunately, if you are a Palestinian Christian, you need to go through all the other hassles of being in the Apartheid state that other non-Jewish people go through: unless your tour is through an approved operator.

I've published other posts on how Christians are not treated well and won't go into it. The bottom line is that Zionism is not-religious, but is based upon ethnicity and the superiority of that ethnicity.

Why Israel Can't Win: War Expert Prof. Paul Roger's Devastating Interview

I would love to interview Hamas about their strategy since they have totally wiped out the myth of how good the Israeli Defence Forces are. IDF has stumbled into a conflict they can't win.

What Does Hamas ACTUALLY Want?

This is from Al-Jazeera's English service. It's a really good primer on both the situation and on what Hamas actually believes.

I mean: what is wrong with having the right to live on their land in peace?

This is an eye opener for people who get their information from US media



Oh, and I would love to meet Abu-Obeida, even if only virtually. Although, my big question these days is how many Hamas members speak English and what is their proficiency? My Arabic is pretty crappy these days.

US evangelical pastor describes how Zionist Christians contribute to inj...

Zionism does not equate with Judaism. It only means a belief in a Jewish homeland. There are far more Christian Zionists out there than Jewish ones as well. This is why they are the most dangerous kind of Zionist.

Ilan Pappé: "I'm sure that Zionism is going to end"

Ilan Pappé is a professor with the College of Social Sciences and International Studies at the University of Exeter and director of the university's European Centre for Palestine Studies. He is Israeli.

What will be the outcome of the recongnition of Palestinian rights? Well, the modern state of Israel will fall, which isn't a bad thing. The US pushes regime change and this is a regime badly in need of changing, as were other states based upon racial superiority.

And for the Christian Zionists out there: Sorry, but this Israel isn't what you were expecting. Please stop supporting it.

UPDATE--“Israel will lose the war.”

I wasn't going to post again, but this is pretty intense. It's from Lebanon. It's an Israeli officer, Diazy Gideon, who participated in the Gaza war and withdrew from it, speaking with boldness about the situation. I am correct about the IDF getting hammered if his stats are correct 3,000 dead and 11,000 IDF injured. It's lost a load of equipment as well.

He's not the first IDF officer who has confided that Israel wasn't ready for this war. I was talking to an IDF captain early in the conflict who told me they didn't have enough rifles or equipment to get the reservists into the field.

Maybe I should retitle this "Israel HAS LOST the war."

No, Zionism is anti-semitic and racist.

Get it straight with a little Jewsplainin' here.

Seriously! Just remember the largest contingent of Zionists are the Christian Zionists who are very anti-semitic and racist. One of the many reasons the Zionist state of Israel will fall.

The new Palestinian resistance groups in the Occupied West Bank

Israel isn't doing too well with its current tactics. Of course, 75 plus years of ethnic cleansing have not made Israel a safe place for Jews. If anything, it has destabilised the region. It radicalises and reinforces the resistance. Quite frankly, it won't be the Palestinians that destroy the Zionist state of Israel.

It will be the Zionists themselves.

Anyway, this will show why Israel needs to respect the Palestinians' rights, in particular their right of return, and add reparations to the mix.

Decoding Hasbara: Unmasking Israel's propaganda tactics

Sorry, but it's really obvious that the Israelis are the stumbling block to peace in this region. There's a reason for the Hasbara. And that reason is that the Zionist state is on it's last legs. Thing South Africa at the end of Apartheid. Except Israel has managed to last a lot longer than Apartheid South Africa.

Palestinian Christians: Correcting the Narrative

I don't think the neglect of Palestinian Christians is at all naïvely done. It has to be deliberate since the bulk of the support of Israel is from Christian Zionists. Christian Zionists are the largest contingent of Zionists. Part of the reason that Judaism and Zionism is linked is to hide its racist nature.

Sorry, but by definition creating an ethnically pure society is racist. And Israel is undeniably an apartheid state.

A Christian Explains what Christians don't know about Israel

Islam isn't the only religion under threat in Israel: Christianity is as well. And the holy land needs to be shared and respected by the three religions. One of the world's oldest Christian churches in Gaza was destroyed by IDF.

Israel struggles to spin the war to their advantage: Marwan Bishara

Israel's propaganda is now under scrutiny. The mask has fallen and we now see that Israel is not what it pretends to be.

Israel has lost the war.

What are our problems with Christian Zionism?

Munter Isaac is a Palestinian Christian.

Why the Al-Aqsa Mosque is key to understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Actually, it's important to understand what Al-Aqsa is anyway. It an important and historic site in Jerusalem and sacred to all three of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It is a UNESCO world heritage site.

Even more importantly this mosque is under attack, as is Christianity.

My ancestors probably participated in the Crusades, but I feel as strongly about Al-Aqsa as I do about Notre-Dame in Paris. I've been to Notre-Dame, but I have never been to Al-Aqsa. I would probably have stronger feelings about Al-Aqsa if I saw its splendour in person. It is a part of the world's heritage that needs to be preserved.

Israel's disinformation campaign: Still no evidence of Israeli gov’t allegations

IDF=Incompetent Defence Force.

Yeah, it's really bad when it turns out the people charged with defending a country killed most of the people they are supposed to defend.

Christ at the Checkpoint--Christians in Palestine

The Palestinian issue has been framed of one of Islam v Judaism, but it's more complicated than that. It is the Holy Land and there are Christians, mostly in the "West Bank", but they are also some in Gaza.

You will see more of Munter Isaac and his Church.

There's some good material on Christian Zionism on this channel as well.

Quiet Christmas in Bethlehem: Pledging solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza

IDF=Incompentent Defence Force. We killed Israelis on 7 October, says Israeli Commander

Who needs Hamas when you have clowns like this "defending" your country? I could swear he keeps saying "Purim"--well, that explains the clown outfits on the soldiers.

And they are a bunch of bozos who kill Israeli civilians...

Israel shows us the evidence !

IDF stands for Incompetent Defence Force

One big difference with the latest skirmishes between the occupiers and the Palestinians is that the occupiers are showing their weaknesses. IDF HAD a good reputation, but it's coming out that they are "casualty adverse". Let's toss in that they shoot up everything in a firefight.

This is Al-Qassam footage of the tents of the occupation forces in the Juhr al-Dik area before Al-Qassam carried out an operation to plant and detonate explosive devices.



I think I mentioned that the Gaza tunnel entrances wouldn't be as obvious as the water storage tank that IDF said was a tunnel entrance so they could bomb the hospital. This proves that the entrances are not going to be easy to spot. The IDF idiots set up camp on top of one!

So IDF really does mean INCOMPETENT Defence Force. No wonder that they have clown hats for helmet covers.

Why don't Palestinians adopt non-violent tactics?

Because any attempt at non-violence have been blocked off by Israel.

 It's long, but it's worth watching. This is about the Great March for Return. You get to see IDF shoot unarmed protesters. You even get to see IDF shoot medics in violation of International law.

Former IDF soldier speaks about Israeli public opinion during the Israel...

I've been a supporter of the IDF resister network for a while now. I wanted to send someone I met who was a reservist to them, but he was too keen to fight. Fortunately, he is in the US and won't fight.

Israel's policies are counterproductive its existence.

Do you condemn armed resistance ?

This guy does some really good videos!

Why do I tear down the Zionist "Kidnapped" posters?

The short answer is that this is really crappy hasbara.

I wouldn’t use your link since I don’t want to be infected with spyware. Israel and its supporters have a serious credibility problem.

It’s insensitive since you are focusing on the Israeli captives of the Palestinian Freedom Fighters. And you show a lot of ignorance here.  Not all of the « kidnapped » Israelis were taken by Hamas. Some were taken by Islamic Jihad and other groups. Unlike Palestinians who are held captive by Israelis, the ones taken to Gaza were well treated.

Additionally, IDF was responsible for most of the 1,400, which is a figure that was later revised to 1,200 dead Israelis. You might want to look up the Hannibal Directive. https://twitter.com/PVPGurl/status/1722439467217146157.  I’ll give even more references at the end of this.

I will add that IDF’s carpet bombing of Gaza was responsible for the deaths of at least 50 of those hostages.Toss in that Hamas was offering to return the Israeli prisoners early on in this crisis. Anyway, only 17 Israelis are still in Palestinian captivity. So, This poster is counterproductive to your cause.

The best way to bring the Hostages home is to bring about a ceasefire instead of genocide. Yes, this is genocide and it is being broadcast, which is why your hasbara is failing. You need to stop lying that you are "defending" when you are an occupying force. The Palestinians are within their rights to resist you.

You lose your credibility to say "never again" when you commit and support genocide.

Far more Palestinians have been killed than Israelis in this confilict. These Palestinians are non-combatants. (source https://www.972mag.com/mass-assassination-factory-israel-calculated-bombing-gaza/)

"Several of the sources, who spoke to +972 and Local Call on the condition of anonymity, confirmed that the Israeli army has files on the vast majority of potential targets in Gaza — including homes — which stipulate the number of civilians who are likely to be killed in an attack on a particular target. This number is calculated and known in advance to the army’s intelligence units, who also know shortly before carrying out an attack roughly how many civilians are certain to be killed. »

“Nothing happens by accident,” said another source. “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed — that it was a price worth paying in order to hit [another] target. We are not Hamas. These are not random rockets. Everything is intentional. We know exactly how much collateral damage there is in every home.”

Israel is actually very weak. I believe that the Palestinian Freedom Fighters have been inflicting serious damages to the IDF. Of Course, IDF helps raise the body count with its poor performance. The Hanibal directive embodies the spirit of Masada.

You seem to miss that your tactics have been counterproductive for 75 years. They have only resulted in increased violence. These tactics will not make Israel safe. They haven't so far. In fact,  Israeli aggression is pretty much its death warrant.

Israel is its own worst enemy. It has basically painted itself into a corner where the only real option is the end of its existence as a ethnically pure state. Allowing Palestinians their rights will be the end of the game.

You've lost the war. I hope the US stops giving Israel aid and the country will collapse. As is, it's deeply terminal and on life support.

Otherwise, why haven't you made the Aliyah? A little Jewsplainin' from Ilan Pappe

And don't forget to thank Israel!
