The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem has denounced the "unlawful and illegitimate" Israeli seizure of its property in occupied East Jerusalem. During the operation, "the Patriarchate's representative was forcibly removed, his equipment was confiscated, trees were uprooted, and the property was enclosed with fencing and gates."

The peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer suffering without universal healthcare, sent wealthy, nuclear-armed Israel $12 billion in 2025 alone. These free funds went to a country that offers world class universal healthcare to all her residents while ethnically cleansing Muslims and persecuting Christians in Gaza and the West Bank.

*** Israeli Settlers Attack Defenseless Palestinians in West Bank, Seriously Injuring Three ***

"Israeli Settlers viciously attacked three Palestinians on Saturday in the village of Iskaka, in the central West Bank province of Salfit.

The lunatics beat the three Arabs so badly -- two of them women-- that they were hospitalized.

The incident comes amid a recent increase in savage attacks by Israeli colonists against Palestinian residents and their property in the Salfit region and the rest of the occupied West Bank.

According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Israeli forces and colonists carried out a total of 1,659 attacks up to May 2026. Of those, 1,108 were attributed to the Israeli Death Forces (IDF) and 551 to maniac Settlers."

1,000 Arabs have been killed in the West Bank since the beginning of Nakba II on 7 Oct 2023.

How long can peace-loving, hard-working American taxpayers stomach funding this kind of inhuman barbarism?

Ethnically cleansing the other religions is the core of Zionism.

One might expect the Dome of the Rock to be next... making room for the 3rd Temple.

Then there'll really be a war.

Do it to them before they do it to you. The Islamic world has repeatedly tried.

It's true that in the religious wars between Islam and Christianity the Muslims attacked first. Then came the crusaders.

But that does not mean we need to act like or be remotely like them. Either of them.

The conflict between the Christian and Muslim worlds did not begin with a single event. It started as a result of centuries of Early Muslim conquests in the 7th century, followed by the Christian response of the Crusades in the 11th century.

@#7 ... But that does not mean we need to act like or be remotely like them. Either of them. ...

Agreed.

Again, agreed.

And that is why there is no simple solution to the issues in the Middle East specifically, or around the world generally.

It is one reason why I do not comment on many Middle-East comments here, the problem is far too deep and far too entrenched within the Middle East. It has been occurring for decades (centuries?).

Currently, all I see are mostly short-term attempts to resolve the issues.

e.g. bombs and killings.


Violence and genocide do not solve the underlying problem.
