Happy Saint Barbara''s day (On St.Nicholas's day--No Zwarte Piets)

The Feast Day of Saint Barbara is celebrated on December 4. Saint Barbara is a Christian saint and martyr, She originated from the region of Baalbeck in modern-day Lebanon.

About St. Barbara, It was believed that God sprouted up wheat fields to cover the tracks of St Barbara as she fled persecution. And for Palestinians, she’s extra special because her grave is believed to be in the village of Aboud just outside Ramallah where a procession celebrates her in the coming weeks. 

Christians in the levant often dress up in disguises, to commemorate Saint Barbara’s ability to escape persecution by disguising herself. They also sing songs dedicated to her, recounting her story and expressing devotion. Another cherished tradition is the passing of every house in the village, where people exchange greetings and blessings. During these visits, traditional sweets and food are shared among neighbors and loved ones. 

I need to give Mashjar Juthour credit for this next clip: especially since she has been another voice of Christians in this region.

From the land of Christianity, this Christmas, remember that Jesus’ entire life was committed to preaching against injustice.

Happy Saint Barbara’s Feast Day from the Christians of the Levant!

Atheer Yacoub on Sending Missionaries to the Middle East.

 Well, The one company called that picture of well known Yeshua (he's not Hispanic) the "Errol Flynn".

Yes, there are Christians in this part of the world. There used to be lots of them, but not since 1947.

Christ is STILL under the rubble in Gaza

An advent message from Reverend Munther Isaac who is a Palestinian Christian pastor and theologian. He preaches at the Evangelical Lutheran Christmas Church in Bethlehem and the Lutheran Church in Beit Sahour. He is also the academic dean of Bethlehem Bible College, and is the director of the highly acclaimed and influential Christ at the Checkpoint conferences, which is also the name of his blog: https://christatthecheckpoint.bethbc.edu/munthers-blog/. Munther is passionate about issues related to the Palestinian theology.

Yes, there are Christians in the Middle East and the US's support for the state of Israel leads to their persecution. This is bizarre since the same people claim that Christians in the US are persecuted.

And just remember Christ was born in Bethlehem. There's a reason the names of these places sound so familiar, but they are being trashed by the Zionist state. With the help of Christians who support that institution.

I also hoped for change, but it is very slow in coming.

Like the Zionists who say "never again" while doing it again, the Christians who support this need to stop complaining about the persecution of Christians.

The Irony of the Holy Land and Christian Zionism.

 He raises some good points for all the prople who are willing to ignore Israel's crimes.

The people who don't know that Israel attacked the USS Liberty for no reason other than to drag the United States into a war in the Middle East. The combined Israeli air and sea attack killed 34 crew members (naval officers, seamen, two marines, and one civilian NSA employee), wounded 171 crew members, and severely damaged the ship. At the time, the ship was in international waters north of the Sinai Peninsula, about 25.5 nautical miles (47.2 km; 29.3 mi) northwest from the Egyptian city of Arish.

People who want to claim Israel is the US's "friend" are ignorant of how that friend has abused the United States.

A question for Christian Zionists

 I've been asking this for a while, as have Palestinian Christians.

You talk about a war on Christians, yet you support it in the Holy Land.

Think about this really hard: especially in light of my last post.

Hamas's attack on Israel was predictable and will probably happen again.

Believe it or not, there is actually a very simple solution to this situation: Israelis respect Palestinian rights, especially the right of return under UN Resolution 194. "Never again" needs to mean exactly that and it should not apply only to the Jewish people.

Treat others as you would have them treat you.

Otherwise, the hypocrisy which is Yad Vashem being a stone's throw from Deir Yassin means Zionists (a person of ANY faith who believes in a Jewish homeland) and their apologists have absolutely NO CREDIBILITY in this debate.

The only lesson zionists learned from the Holocaust was how to do it to others with the Palestinian people being a case in point. And they really won't like my response to that one if they want to point out how many Jews died in the holocaust.

Then, we can just let you rot in your middle eastern ghetto, which is what should have happened once you failed to respect the UN resolutions against your country.

This video features a Palestinian analyst discussing why Israel is wrong in how it has handled itself in its soon to end lifetime. 

Zionists and their apologists aren't intelligent--they are hypocrites.

If Stern Gang/Lehi, Irgun, and Hagana are to be idealised, then I can give unwavering support to the Palestinians who are fighting to be able to return to their homeland.

It would have been less expensive to have complied with UN Resolution 194 back in 1948, but Israel has been on a path of destruction since before the state of Israel existed--it's just that it's nonsense hasn't been allowed to be discussed.

Israel has been kept on life support for too long--it's time to pull the plug.

Blowback: How Israel Helped Create Hamas

I think most people would stop supporting Israel if they knew how much of a mess that country is making of the Middle East. Instead, one doesn't criticise Israel. One is kept ignorant that Lehi/Stern Gang, Irgun, and Hagana were originally terrorist organisations, but they went on to become the IDF. Lehi has a definite checkered past and would discredit the state of Israel if its activities were more widely publicised. 

Or, as I like to point out, Deir Yassin is a stone's throw from Yad Vashem.

So much for "Never again", the Zionists have turned around and are acting in a similar manner to how they were treated during the Shoah.

Scrutinise Zionism and you will probably reconsider supporting Israel.

The USS Liberty incident shows that if you are going to stand with Israel, you had better watch your back.

I am predicting that Israel will not last much longer since popular support, as opposed to official support, isn't on their side. Any intelligent person should be ashamed to give support to Zionism.

Especially if they are Jewish. Since most Zionists are CHRISTIANS and they are not friends to the Jewish people.
