The Palestinian cause is the cause of Islam and Muslims.
It is Islamโs war against Judaism and the Jews. Using oil money, Muslim states transformed it into a global cause. They have consistently tried to buy influence in the West with petrodollars so that others would adopt their cause, and in recent years they have succeeded with many people.
They do not view Palestine from a humanitarian perspective, but from an Islamic one. Otherwise, they would have shown the same concern for what is arguably the worldโs worst humanitarian crisis today: Sudan, where thousands of women have reportedly been subjected to mass rape.
Nor did they show comparable concern for the hundreds of thousands killed in Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Ukraine, Libya, or elsewhere.
Nor is their concern truly about occupation, because if it were, they would also condemn Turkeyโs occupation of one-third of Cyprus since 1974.
This is a cause that belongs to Islam and Muslims.
The tragedy is that, because of propaganda, pressure, and hypocrisy, many Christians in the Middle East volunteer to defend this Islamic cause while remaining silent about the suffering of Christians in the region.
That suffering has reached the point of religious cleansing and forced displacement, to the extent that Christianity has nearly disappeared from several Middle Eastern countries.
The disaster is even greater when Christian clergy repeatedly deny that Christians are persecuted in Egypt and across the Middle East.
First, they lie about the condition of their own people.
Second, they align themselves with an Islamic religious struggle against Judaism and the Jews.
Third, they contribute to spreading Islamic hatred.
Fourth, they become false witnesses rather than witnesses to the truth.
Fifth, they lead their own people down the wrong path.
The Middle East Council of Churches has issued dozens of statements in defense of Palestine since its founding, yet I have never heard it issue a single statement defending persecuted Christians. It truly represents state-controlled churches, not the persecuted Christian people.
Likewise, I have never heard a Christian clergyman in the Middle East openly declare that Christians are persecuted in their ancestral homelands, or that the governments are responsible for that persecution, exclusion, discrimination, unjust courts, and ongoing deliberate targeting.
If a clergyman lies, continues to lie, and influences his people to follow him in those lies, what is left for the devil to do?
Glory to the martyrs. Glory to the persecuted.
Shame, every shame, on their persecutors. And even greater shame on any Christian who justifies this persecution, denies it, or deliberately turns reality upside down.

Indeed โ โPalestiniansโ are Arabs from around the Levant and Middle East who came to the region as workers.
Al Jazeera sometimes slips up and breaks its own narrative.
What was Egyptโs Number 17 doing just watching Messi strolling into the box unmarked?
Maybe the Zionists put him under a hypnosis ray to stop him marking Messi? This is so unfair
There has never been an Arab nation called โPalestineโ in all of world history.
The Romans invented the name in 135 CE โ renaming the province of Judea โSyria Palaestinaโ after crushing the Jewish Bar Kokhba revolt. They deliberately took the name of the Philistines (an Aegean Sea people of Greek descent with no connection to modern Arabs) in order to erase the Jewish connection to the land.
For the next 1,800 years, โPalestineโ had no fixed borders and no political meaning. It was a vague geographic term โ like โthe Midwestโ or โSiberiaโ โ used mainly by Christians for the Holy Land. Jews called the land Eretz Yisrael โ the Land of Israel.
The name was a Roman tool to punish and erase Jews from their land โ and itโs still being weaponized against them today.
Hamas Nukhba serial killer Muhammad Emad Abu Tayima, who invaded Kibbutz Beeri on 10/7 for the sole purpose of murdering Jews, was killed today by the IDF. He was also a Sheikh, among at least 15 religious leaders who were Hamas terrorists, preaching Jew hate throughout Gaza. 1/
Iran now striking Kuwait and Bahrain.
Imagine Saudi Arabia publicly addresses President Trump and asks him to help topple the Iranian regime because living next to it is impossible.
The region wouldnโt have been here if some governments knew what they were doing in the first place.
Congress banned F-35 sales to Turkey for several reasons: the S-400s, the illegal occupation of Cyprus, and the threats to Greece, to name a few. @POTUS cannot just waveย these actions away with a handshake in Ankara.
I am urging @RepJeffries and @SteveScalise to introduce a Joint Resolution of Disapproval to prevent this Administration from illegally selling F-35s to Turkey.
I see the NY Post reporting today that Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a colonel in Hamas.
Which is fine, but I already exposed this over a year ago. Better late than never, I guess!
Hamas founderโs son, Mosab Hassan Yousef:
โPalestine doesnโt exist. Itโs just a weapon Muslims use against the Jews.โ
He knows the truth from the inside.

As Egypt cries about FIFA fixing matches, maybe they should ask their number 17 why he stood and watched the greatest of all time stroll in to the box unmarked.
