Gaza: crimes and question marks
The Gaza Strip is unlivable even for the UN
It becomes more difficult every day to understand the reasons for this rocket war...
It becomes more difficult every day to understand the reasons for this rocket and bombing war between Gaza and Israel. Because it's been going on for weeks, with dead and wounded on both sides, even if it is increasingly clear that no one, neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis, né Hamas né Netanyahu, he really wants to get to an open confrontation. Yet we are here, with hundreds of rockets departing from the Strip and now having a range that is double that of a few years ago, and the fighters of the Jewish State that level buildings and hit strategic targets.
With the inevitable drama of civilians killed, including women and children. With the aftermath of international tensions. The task of understanding becomes even more complex if we take into account the signs of "détente" (term that in these parts, as you can see, should be used with caution) detected in recent times. Hamas has tried to keep more radical Islamist groups at bay, still convinced that provocation towards Israel is the best way to claim Palestinian rights. And its diplomats do not stop negotiating with Egypt to keep the very fragile ceasefire alive, at the same time, loosen the grip in which the Israeli blockade holds the two million inhabitants of the Strip.

Syria: Christians in the trenches against terrorists

Syria: Christians in the trenches against terrorists
Under siege from 7 years, 20.000 Christians are bombed by terrorists. No media talks about them. They are alone fighting to survive. Powerless, they saw the convoys of jihadists transferred to Idlib pass by. 160 dead. Innocent civilians, fathers and teenagers, grieving families.
The daily battle of Mhardeh
Night falls on Syria . North of the city of Hama, a freezing rain sweeps the small town of Mhardeh. In the car, I am accompanied by Salem, a Damascene Christian who fought for more than five years to defend this city, which has become a symbol of Syrian resistance to international terrorism. The military controls intensify until we arrive at Mr. Simon's office, head of the National Defense Force in Mhardeh .
We are expected, the soldiers open the large door. Getting out of the car, the heavy atmosphere of war vanishes and we hear the typical Syrian welcome phrases, the ones that make you immediately feel at home. Accompanied by three armed soldiers, we begin to gather in front of the martyrs' tree: one hundred portraits in memory of those who fell under the bombs that wounded the city for more than seven years. I noticed that of a teenager, barely out of childhood, with dark blue eyes.
We gather for a few moments. Mr. Simon welcomes us into his office with open arms. Instinctively, this man inspires immense respect, without being inaccessible, on the contrary. In the middle of the neck, the scar from a bullet that failed to kill him is impressive. His smile instantly erases these stigmata of war. Mr. Simon survived three assassination attempts. He personally organizes the defense of his land, of his city, of his house, of the families of Mhardeh. Read More

Israeli Christianophobia

Israeli Christianophobia

Two Israeli Jews acquitted after attack on Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem
We learned of the decision taken yesterday by the Israeli court to acquit the Jewish suspects who attacked the Dormition Abbey in Jerusalem about three years ago, important sacred place as well as Christian convent.
This decision means that those who attack the Dormition Abbey will not be brought to justice. This reality is unacceptable for us!
Therefore, We call on the Israeli authorities to identify the perpetrators of this attack and punish them in order to deter others from committing similar crimes in the future.! Read More

Israeli war crimes on the Gaza border, by Fulvio Scaglione
The UN commission of inquiry into the events that occurred on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel during the March of Return (In the 2018) attributes war crimes to Israeli snipers. Some considerations.
The report of the independent UN commission of inquiry into the events that occurred on the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel during the March of Return (we are talking about March-May 2018 for the actual March, but the Commission investigated until last December) they don't leave much doubt.

by

SILENT FEMINISTS

The victims, attacked because they claim the right to pray like men, they denounced the condescending attitude of the police

They have “celebrated” on March 8th attacking dozens of women guilty in their eyes of lack of respect for a Sacred Place. Thousands against brave women, determined to assert their rights. Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups, mostly young students from yeshiva, the Talmudic schools Groups of Orthodox Jews attacked several dozen Jewish women “reformed” gathered to celebrate the beginning of the Jewish month of Adar and the 30th anniversary of their organization. The “Kotel women” (that is, of the Wall) they claim the right to pray like men wrapped in the Jewish cloak and to read portions of the Bible in public. A claim that for those who believe they are the masters of Jewish orthodoxy is equivalent to a profanation.

Press release no. 6/19 of the 21 January 2019, Saint Agnes
The walls of the only democracy
The Israeli government continues its policy of expanding illegal colonies in Palestine, protected legally and militarily. The road with built-in wall was missing!
Let's remind the pro-Israel right-thinking people, who identify the Palestinian people solely with Muslims, that Zionist policy caused the departure of the majority of Christians from the Holy Land and those who remained are discriminated against in various ways as the Jewish state does not recognize equality between all citizens. On the lands recently confiscated from Catholics:

ASSAD WINNER
by

Christmas night, when two Israeli fighter jets attacked Syria (from Lebanese airspace and "covering" behind two civilian planes), they aimed to eliminate, together with Hezbollah leaders, Iranian general Qassem Suleimani the military genius, target valuable enough to risk the Syrian anti-aircraft now equipped with S-300s. Not only did they miss the mark; not just intelligence information…
