PALESTINE
Cardinal Pizzaballa stood with the other Patriarchs of the churches in the town of TAYBEH today
They CONDEMNED the repeated attacks AGAINST CHRISTIANS by ISRAELIS, saying in a statement:
'Radical Israelis from nearby settlements intentionally set fire near the town’s cemetery and the Church of Saint George, which dates back to the 5th century. Taybeh is the last remaining all-Christian town in the West Bank. These actions are a direct and intentional threat to our local community first and foremost, but also to the historic and religious heritage of our ancestors and holy sites. In the face of such threats, the greatest act of bravery is to continue to call this your home'
They also stated:
'We ask for the prayers, attention, and action of the world, particularly that of Christians globally' and 'This is clearly part of the systematic attacks against Christians that we see unfolding throughout the region'
@TheKateScholl@P_Kallioniemi So allowing Putin to claim a victory which he can then use against Lithuania etc will only lead to future conflicts.
Putin knows the Americans won't honour any defense agreements.
Americans used to say 'these colours don't run'.
The Stars and Stripes are white now.
@RussellEngland@MarinaHyde So some members of the public are obnoxious and she speaks to them in a language they understand.
Now they go crying to mummy.
Don't dish it out if you can't take it.
And I'm NOT a Boris fan.
@omandprem @SeanOconnell79 @FratboyMarxist@ScottAnd67 The "green men" aka Russian soldiers without insignia have been in East Ukraine since 2014.
This is not a start but an escalation of Russian activity in Ukraine.
@QNTistheKEY @CandySero_ I passed through NYC on a train in the 80s.
Didn't know anyone there so never considered getting off to have a look. Such was its reputation at the time.
Heard its much better now but yeah Florida sounds like a good option.
@QNTistheKEY @CandySero_ ironically I don't believe anyone has the authority to decide someone qualifies or not as a human.
I don't doubt people's compassion irrespective of background. But people are fickle they tend to support causes closer to their own interest and experiences not the greatest need
