Netanyahu's War on Catholics

N.B.:  the term "Christian" in this story actually means "Catholic,"--whether Roman or an Orthodox sister-church.  That translation applies to almost all news reports from the Middle East.

 Priests of the churches in Tabyeh, the last fully Christian town left in the West Bank, have implored help from “international actors” amid a destructive siege by Israeli settlers.

“Israeli settlers are torching holy sites, destroying farmland, and terrorizing families. The priests of Taybeh are crying out for help. The world must hear them — and act,” human rights activist Jason Jones urged on Tuesday....

Netanyahu's war on Catholics is not a new thing for Israel; it is merely a continuation of a decades-old policy whereby long-settled Catholic communities are systematically eradicated by Jewish "settlers" who lay claim to land--and then find ways to 'remove' the original inhabitants.  (Yes, it is a replication of the wars on Indians in the USA.)

The US' billions of dollars in aid to Israel must be conditioned on ending the Israeli War on Catholics--which actually began with the crucifixion of Christ.  Shoveling money from US Catholics--taken at the point of a gun--into Israel is an affront of the first magnitude.

President Trump, the ball's in your court.

Get it into your head, Dad29. Trump is not saving the Catholics—who are Palestinian Bedouins!—in Israel. You know, brown people.

He is Bibli’s bitch. Always has been, always will be.

“Catholics are more native to the land of Israel than modern day Jews are”

Says who?

Ambassador Huckabee needs to tell Israel is going to lose a large bloc of support if he does not rein in the abusive actions of the illegal West Bank settlers.
