Christianity around the World Is under Assault, but not from Muslims

The neo-conservative cabal entwined in Western governments and media
is fond of stating that «Judeo-Christianity,» itself a loaded term, is
under assault from «Islamo-fascists» around the world. The record,
however, is clear.
>From Moscow to Cairo and Damascus to east Jerusalem, Christianity is
under assault, not from main stream Islam but from a nexus of Jewish
and «Christian» Zionists allied with the disruptive forces of
non-governmental organizations financed by global troublemaker George
Soros, alias Gyorgy Schwartz.
In Moscow, a feminist rock band called «Pussy Riot» has used trademark
Soros disruption tactics against the Russian Orthodox Church. Prior to
the recent Russian presidential election, Pussy Rioters staged a
sacrilegious, intolerant, and insensitive «concert» during worship
services at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. After they
were imprisoned for hooliganism, the Pussy Riot punkers instantly
received support from all the usual suspects that kow-tow to the
anti-Gentile line of the Zionists and their deep-pocketed Soros
allies: The Washington Post, Amnesty International, Human Rights
Watch, Bloomberg News, and Forbes magazine.
Recently, tens of thousands of Orthodox believers took part in a vigil
outside Christ the Savior in support of the Russian Orthodox Patriarch
Kirill, who, himself came under fire from the propagandists of the
West and global Zionism for wearing an expensive wristwatch, a gift
from his parishioners.
Almost half of the Russian public surveyed in a poll conducted by the
Levada Center agreed that the Pussy Rioters deserve a two- to
seven-year sentence for their antics. However, the Soros and
neo-conservative/neo-liberal NGOs and media outlets have demanded the
immediate release of the politically-active trollops.
Last year, a group of women protesters from Ukraine, who call
themselves FEMEN and are linked to Soros disruption operations, staged
a topless protest inside the Vatican. Although the Catholic Church, as
an institution, has much to answer for, the disrespect shown by the
action to devout Catholics is in keeping with Soros’s and his
supporters’ disrespect for the Christian faith.
Attacks on Christianity are also the norm in illegally
Israeli-occupied east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Attempts by some
Western media to report on Israel’s gulags in the occupied territories
comes at a tremendous price, something that was witnessed by the
veteran White House correspondent for Hearst Newspapers, Helen Thomas,
after she criticized Israel’s occupation of Palestine to an undercover
rabbi who «ambushed» her with a hidden camera on the grounds of the
White House. Thomas was pilloried and fired by Hearst after the
Zionist/neo-conservative cabal ganged up on the 91-year old Thomas.
In a recent CBS `60 Minutes’ piece on Israel’s repression of Arab
Christians, Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told
one whopper of a lie but received a free pass on it from the generally
Israel-subservient media. Oren, in his answer to a question posed by
veteran CBS newsman Bob Simon about Oren having attempted to `spike’ a
report on the plight of Christians in occupied Israeli territory by
interceding with CBS 60 Minutes executive producer Jeff Fager before
the segment aired, replied, `There is always a first time.’
Oren knows full-well that it was not the first time that Israel’s
international network of hasbara propagandists and Zionist sayanim
well-entrenched in media outlets has attempted to kill a story
unfavorable to Israel. Oren, alias Michael Bornstein, gave up his
American citizenship when he agreed to become Binyamin Netanyahu’s
ambassador in Washington. Oren, a life-long Zionist, laughably claims
he emigrated to Israel from his native West Orange, New Jersey to
escape what he described as `anti-Semitism’ rampant among the town’s
largely Catholic residents. Oren is a veteran of the Israel Defense
Force and served in Lebanon during that nation’s bloody civil war, a
war in which Israel took the side of a right-wing Christian President.
In the 60 Minutes piece, the Christians of the Holy Land were referred
to as the `invisible people,’ with many trying to flee the onslaught
of steady and growing Jewish encroachment on traditionally Arab and
Christian lands. The broadcast featured a Palestinian Christian family
completely surrounded on all four sides by Israel’s separation wall on
te West Bank.
Oren and his fellow Jewish Zionists, aided and abetted by so-called
`Christian Zionists’ like John Hagee and members of groups like
Christians United for Israel, which are financed by Israeli interests,
do not want Americans to see Christians being treated as second-class
citizens in an apartheid state. Former President Jimmy Carter knows
the hard way what happens when someone dares speak the truth about
Israel’s racist policies, which affect Palestinian Christians and
Muslims, alike.
True to form, the anti-Gentile Oren called the 60 Minutes report
`outrageous’ and `incomprehensible.’ Simon said, `I never gotten a
reaction before from a story that hasn’t been broadcast yet.’
After the suspicious activities of Israeli `art students’ and others
suspicious Israelis linked to Israeli intelligence prior to the 9/11
attacks were reported by Fox News, the Associated Press, and others,
Israel’s public relations shill in Washington, Mark Regev, dismissed
the stories as an `urban myth.’ Regev is now the public relations
spokesman for Netanyahu’s government. Fox pulled down its four-part
series from its website amid a flurry of Israeli and domestic U.S.
Jewish criticism. A veteran AP reporter recounted the threatening
phone calls his editor received from a Boston-based Israeli-funded
media `watch dog’ group, CAMERA or the Committee for Accuracy in
Middle East Reporting in America.
Israel supporters also rallied against CBS, claiming that Christians
in Israel are the only Christian community in the Middle East
protected from `Islamist terrorists.’ That must come as news to
Maronites and other Christians in Syria and Copts in Egypt who have
been beset by Wahhabist Salafist terrorists supported by Israel’s
Lobby in North America and Europe. It is well-known that Syria’s
Christians have been protected by Bashar al Assad’s government while
Syrian Islamist rebels have received support from Israel and their
neo-conservative supporters abroad who nest in such outfits as the
American Enterprise Institute and the Hudson Institute in Washington,
DC. Attacks on Copts in Egypt, including the bombing of a church in
Alexandria, have been determined by Egyptian authorities to have been
signature Israeli-style `false flag’ attempts to garner support for
Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak during his final days in power. The
Egyptian Bar Association said Israel was behind the 2011 New Year’s
bombing of Saints Church in Alexandria that killed 22 parishioners who
were celebrating midnight mass. The world media dutifully reported the
attack as the work of Islamist terrorists.
A document prepared by an inter-faith group of Catholics, Protestants,
and Orthodox called Kairos Palestine and issued in 2009, calls
Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and east Jerusalem `clear
apartheid,’ echoing President Carter’s similar charge. Oren and his
Zionist colleagues merely dismissed the document and its authors –
patriarchs, archbishops, and bishops of the Greek Orthodox, Roman
Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Coptic, Syrian Orthodox, Maronite,
Ethiopian, Greek Catholic, Syrian Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and
Syrian Catholic churches – as being the work of `anti-Semites.’
Similarly, anti-Gentile invectives have been hurled by Israeli Jewish
leaders and Jewish leaders abroad at Christian church leaders who back
the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) program against Israel
for its draconian apartheid policies in the Occupied Territories.
Particular anti-Gentile abuse has been heaped on leaders of the Church
of England; the Church of Scotland; five large American denominations
– the Episcopalians, Methodists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and United
Church of Christ; the National Council of Churches of Australia; the
Quakers; the Lutheran Church of Sweden; the United Reformed Church of
England, Scotland, and Wales; the Protestant Church of the
Netherlands; the Church of Norway; the South African Council of
Churches; the British Methodist Church; the United Church of Canada;
and the World Council of Churches. Personal insults from the hasbara
propaganda machine have been thrown at retired South African Anglican
Archbishop Desmond Tutu; retired Swedish Lutheran Archbishop K. G.
Hammar; Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams; and
President Carter, a Baptist. Some 140 leading Jewish Israelis have
also endorsed the BDS policies of the Christian churches, which puts a
significant dent in the argument that the movement has «anti-Semitic»
intentions.
And to further inflame inter-religious tensions around the world, the
Israeli Mossad’s fingerprints can be seen on false flag violence that
seeks to inflame Buddhist-Muslim tensions in Thailand and Myanmar;
Muslim-Christian tensions in Indonesia, Turkey, the Philippines,
Sudan, and Nigeria; Sunni-Shi’a tensions in Iraq, Yemen, and Syria;
and Hindu-Muslim tensions in India.
This past Good Friday, as with all Good Fridays since the papacy of
Pope John Paul II, saw Franciscan brothers the world over collect
donations in Catholic churches around the world for the Holy Land’s
besieged Christians and their churches. It was not the actions of
Muslims that prompted the appeal for help but the actions of the
Jewish state of Israel. That fact was made very clear in the
international appeal of the Franciscan order, named for St. Francis of
Assisi, who was a sole voice of reason during the infamous Crusades
and who earned the respect of the Muslim leader Saladin and his
nephew, the Sultan of Egypt Malek al Kamil.
The world is ready for religious leaders to emulate the peace-making
of St. Francis, Saladin, and Sultan Malek and not the extremism of
Zionists, Christian Zionists, and the catalysts for violence and
intolerance endemic in the Soros movement and its agents provocateurs.
