| Jerusalem church leader lies about why Christians leave Jerusalemnoreply@blogger.com (Unknown), 27 Mar 04:45 AM Anadolu Agency reports: A church le | | Anadolu Agency reports: A church leader in Jerusalem has expressed concern over the steep decline of the holy city's Christian population over the years. Wadih Abu Nassar, the spokesman for the Council of Heads of Catholic Churches in Jerusalem, said Christians constituted about 25% of the population of Jerusalem in 1922. But the number has since fallen drastically to less than 1%, he noted. According to Israeli sources, the population of Jerusalem was 936,000 as of 2019. Jews made up 62% of the city's population, with Palestinians making up the remaining 38%. Abu Nassar said the Christian population accounts for less than 10,000 of the total number of Jerusalemites. He attributed the drop in the number of Christians to a combination of reasons ranging from economic to political. ...Abu Nassar has also blamed attacks by Jewish extremists on Palestinians and expansion of illegal settlements as another key reason behind the decline in Jerusalem's Christian population. "There is an increase in illegal settlement activity in many neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, and this is not a secret, and it targets many places, including some Christian holy sites," he said. OK, let's look at Jerusalem's Christian population since 1922. This is based on the Wikipedia article on...Read More |
From Ian: Russia bombs Drobitsky Yar Holocaust memorial in Ukraine Russian artillery hit the menorah-shaped monument at the entrance to the Drobytsky Yar Holocaust memorial complex on Saturday, the United Jewish Community of Ukraine reported via Telegram. According to the State Archives of the Kharkiv Region, between 16,000 and 20,000 victims of the Holocaust were shot and killed at the site, near Kharkivin northeastern Ukraine. Earlier in Russia's invasion, Russian missiles and shells struck close to the Babyn Yar site, where more than 33,000 Jews were massacred on September 29-30,1941. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took to Twitter to condemn the Babyn Yar attack. "To the world: what is the point of saying 'never again' for 80 years, if the world stays silent when a bomb drops on the same site of Babyn Yar?" Zelensky wrote. "At least 5 killed. History repeating…" This is the second time Russia's "denazification" campaign in Ukraine seems to target memorials dedicated to those the Nazis hurt the most. Top Zelensky adviser opens up about his Jewish roots, urges greater Israeli supportA senior adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke at length about his own Jewish heritage during a conversation Thursday with Israeli journalists. Andriy Yermak, Zelensky's chief...Read More |
From Ian: Behind the Scenes of Amnesty International's Report on Israel A recently published Amnesty International report declared that Israel practices a policy of apartheid against the Palestinians, both in Israel and the Palestinian Authority. In my view, this is a ridiculous claim, but since this is a case of a detailed report by a prestigious organization, cries of antisemitism will clearly not be helpful here. Readers around the world would rather believe an organization that is considered reliable and neutral and not the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I wish to address the report itself, particularly at the methodological level. Amnesty International's reports are written anonymously. There is no way to know who authored the report, how many researchers were involved in its preparation, what their professional experience is and so on. In addition, when examining the sources on which the current report is based, a disturbing picture emerges. The report contains about 1,600 footnotes, the majority of which refer to past reports and policy papers by Amnesty International, B'Tselem, Adalah, HaMoked, Ir Amim, Bimkom, Al-Haq, and additional far-Left Israeli organizations, as well as reports by the UN Human Rights Council and similar international bodies. When these are the sources for "research" that purports to examine the State of Israel...Read More |
UNRWA USA announced some new hires that they are excited about. Here is one of them: Diala Ghneim, Communications Manager. Canary Mission has a page on her and says that she has supported terrorists on Facebook (she took down that link) and is/was a member of the "F**k Israel" Facebook group.
Ghneim was also a student activist with Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at Rutgers University.
Her current Facebook page show that she "likes" the BDS movement and many anti-Israel groups.
A typical Facebook post claims that Jesus was a Palestinian with the type of propaganda we would expect at UNRWA schools. UNRWA-USA doesn't have the same neutrality requirements that UNRWA has, as it is not a UN agency. So the hate and lies can be freely shared, as we've seen many times in the past. * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon!

From Ian: Melanie Phillips: Why liberals fail to equate Israel and Ukraine This is the same kind of mind-bending reversal that we hear from Putin, the former KGB officer, when he dismisses Ukraine as a fake country involved in aggressive action against Russia. The similarity is hardly surprising since the entire Palestinian fiction was concocted in the 1960s between the terrorist leader Yasser Arafat and the Soviet Union. This has been nourished in the West by the liberal belief that the nation-state is the fount of all evil, and that nationalism (in this case, Zionism) leads inevitably to prejudice, aggression and war. Yet although Putin is an advertisement for monstrous nationalist excess, the astonishing defense against him being mounted by the Ukrainians demonstrates how an aggressor can only be repelled if people have the strongest possible attachment to their nation and understand that their freedom depends upon its survival. The idea that Western liberals will therefore now rethink their hostility to the nation is, however, surely misplaced. This is because they aren't in favor of national self-determination so much as they are opposed to economic and military power, which they believe makes inevitable victims out of those who can't match it. By this standard, the West can never be victimized by the developing world, whose violence is to be excused as "resistance." This is why to such people the Israelis...Read More |
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah is assumed to spend nearly all of his time during the past 15 years in an underground bunker out of fear of being targeted by an Israeli airstrike. But he often hosts guests, usually Iranian dignitaries and fellow terrorists.
Their meetings almost invariably take place in front of....curtains.
This week he hosted Iran's foreign minister: With Hamas leader Haniyeh: With Iran's foreign minister Zarif:
And other meetings with Hamas, Lebanese and Iranian officials: These curtains do not cover windows. There is not a hint of light coming from behind them, which one would see if the meeting is during the day even with blackout curtains.
The only exception I could find was this photo from 2006, before Nasrallah's panicked descent into the bunker beneath Beirut, where you can see the flash of the camera reflect off the window behind a thin curtain: His hideout is clearly very large, with multiple rooms.
When you live your life like a rat underground, any bit of self-deception helps. * * * * * * * * * Buy the EoZ book, PROTOCOLS: Exposing Modern Antisemitism today at Amazon! Read all about it here!...Read More |
From Associates for Biblical Research: Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) announce the discovery of a formulaic curse inscription recovered on a small, folded lead tablet. The defixio came to light in December 2019 when Scott Stripling, ABR's Director of Excavations and the Director of the Archaeological Studies Institute at The Bible Seminary in Katy, Texas, led an ABR team to wet sift the discarded material from Adam Zertal's excavations (1982–1989) on Mt. Ebal. A press conference was held on Thursday, March 24th at the Lanier Theological Library in Houston, Texas to announce the extraordinary discovery. The ancient Hebrew inscription consists of 40 letters and is centuries older than any known Hebrew inscription from ancient Israel. The scientists employed advanced tomographic scans to recover the hidden text [and]...deciphered the proto-alphabetic inscription, which reads as follows: Cursed, cursed, cursed – cursed by the God YHW.
You will die cursed.
Cursed you will surely die.
Cursed by YHW – cursed, cursed, cursed. According to Stripling, "These types of amulets are well known in the Hellenistic and Roman periods, but Zertal's excavated pottery dated to the Iron Age I and Late Bronze Age, so logically the tablet derived from one of these earlier periods. Even so, our discovery of a Late Bronze Age inscription stunned...Read More |
