As a Catholic, one gets tired (if one’s IQ is over 60); of listening to sermons, appeals and other junk-propaganda from Left-wing Liberal ‘Priests’, vomiting out the satanic spew issued by the Vatican, embracing inter-alia; globaloneywarming, climate-geddon; Muhammadans-are-our-friends; unfettered immigration is mandatory; Christ was a migrant; and of course anti-semiticism disguised as it always is, by criticising ‘Israel’ and its ‘treatment of Palestinians’ (a people which do not exist), including supposedly, Palestinian Christians.

The latest anti-Jew appeal is for this Lenten season, to support something called the ‘Holy Land Foundation’, co-chaired in the UK by extreme Liberals, Archbishop Welby of the ridiculous Anglican State Church of England (with Welby mentally deficient and physically laughable); and Vincent Nichols, apparently a Catholic Archbishop who is not too bright if his friends extend to someone as ridiculous as Welby.

The tenor of the sermon-appeal in our Church was nauseating.  According to the Priest who had visited Israel the 18 foot-high wall (it is 26 feet high in reality), was a monument of pain and anguish, separating Christian ‘Palestinians’ from their families, work, farmland and ability to go the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem.  He called Jewish territory ‘Occupied Territory’.  Bethlehem was ‘surrounded’ by the wall, the birth-place of Christ, with the wall a Herodian reminder of Jewish immorality and vanity.  Thus, it is the evil Israeli aka the Jew, who is to blame for the poverty, high cost of medicine and lack of jobs in the ‘Occupied Territories’. Ergo, send money as part of your Lenten penance, to the Holy Land Foundation, so we can right the Jew-created wrongs and bring harmony between ‘Palestinians and Jews’. 

That such drivel can be stated in a Catholic Church should be roundly condemned.  But considering that most of the laity are Liberals divorced from reality, it is probably accepted in toto, as the gospel truth.  

No mention was made of why there is a wall.  It was built of course as a response to the endless Moslem Jihad against Jews and Israel.  Until the mid 1990s the ‘territories’ were run by Israeli military authorities and no wall existed.  After Arafat declared an endless intifada all was changed.  The ‘West Bank’ became a perennial source of Moslem terror and intifada violence against Jews and Israelis.  The Wall exists thanks to Moslem terror.

While Christians living in these areas do suffer from hardship, it is not hard to understand why.  Moslems.  The Moslem Jihad has forced a complete and utter military-security response from the Israeli state.  In fact, there are about 200.000 ‘Palestinian Christians’ in Israel, 51.000 live in the Hamas-PA run territories.  It is these 51.000 that are under duress, the rest of the Christians who live elsewhere in Israel are not discriminated against or molested by Israeli security or military policies and personnel.  However, the duress of Christians living in the ‘Occupied Territories’ is mostly due to Moslem supremacism and violence (see the links below). There is therefore no context to the claim that Israel is persecuting Christians.  51.000 may indeed suffer in PLO-PA-Hamas dominated territories.  But Moslems are arriving in Bethlehem in great numbers, as Christians leave.  If the ‘persecution’ is so bad, why are Moslem populations growing and Christians shrinking in these areas?

And yet the Muslim population of Bethlehem is growing. Muslims, in fact, are not fleeing. They are arriving—in large numbers.

Surely there is some significance in this disparity between the two populations. Why is the Muslim sector of Bethlehem growing while the Christian sector is falling? Both face the same exact set of circumstances. Could it be that this disparity tells the true story?

It is important to note, first of all, that Jewish sovereignty does not, ipso facto, lead to Christian emigration. Inside Israel proper, the Christian population has been growing steadily for decades. Today, Christian Arabs are serving in the army and at various levels of the Israeli government.

As far as the decrease of Christians inside the Palestinian territories…..The barrier is indeed a factor, but far more important is the reason that the barrier was built in the first place: rising Islamism inside the Palestinian territories and bad governance on the part of the Palestinian Authority.

It is no coincidence that Bethlehem was mostly Christian until the 1990s. Until then, Bethlehem was ruled directly by Israel through a military administration. Although they were not full citizens of Israel, Palestinian Christians (and Muslims) could travel freely inside the country, visit the beach, and shop in Jewish neighborhoods. That all changed in the mid-1990s when Israel agreed to let the PLO rule parts of the West Bank and Gaza under a famous treaty called the Oslo Accords.

So the ‘Wall’ is there for a reason - Moslems.  And because of that fact, checkpoints, searches, and zero tolerance is now Israeli state policy. 

It is the Moslems who have turned the ‘territories’ into another hell-hole – terrorism, Jihad, high-unemployment, endless grievances and demands, all flowing into anti-Christian discrimination.  But Moslems are never to blame.  For the Church and other Liberal hair-flicking multi-culti supporters, Muhammadans are always the victims.  The Jews or the Americans are always to blame.
