I'm an Orthodox Christian. It has just occurred to me that we might lose all of our sacred places in the Holy Land if this hostility by israel continues.

Christians do not keep Kosher, nor do they call God Allah.

The reality is that Israel is backed by a strongly Christian country, the US so I really do not see some agenda against Christians.

The reality is that violent Jewish settlers are being backed by a minority death cult sect of "Christians" in the US who don't give a shiney shit about Christians or anyone else in the ME.

It was all over the TV news at the time. It was Sunday 29t was also on the news on Monday. It was in response to the awful chants at Glastonbury.
It was in lots of papers too.

I don't have a television or a TV licence. I get news from a couple of websites online or times radio.

I have been racking my brains for the sources, and have a nasty thought that it was a convert to a very evangelical church among my colleagues. They weren't comfortable with the traditional churches over here, either. So the Catholics and Orthodox over there are not kosher. The Allah comment was I think on TV.

I don't know what this means. Some Christians keep kosher but I think its pretty marginal. Are you saying extremist Jews attack Christians because they dont keep kosher?

Awful chants at Glastonbury? Against Palestinian Christians?

What did they say?

No, against the IDF at Glastonbury Festival.

Cheers for clarifying @smallglassbottle.Thanks

Not sure they did clarify anything? The source of their Treaclewell's evidence was something they 'heard' and suhgested that catholics/orthodox were the wrong kind, when thats what most Palestinian christians are. Now @smallglassbottle says not Protestants when there certainly are protestants and evangelicals among Palestinian christians. So Im none the wiser what is being claimed here.

They won't be protestants or evangelicals.

There are small numbers of Protestants.

I did put why. The same reason Catholics, Orthodox, Copts, CofE high church are the wrong kind.

Except most Palestinian Christians are Catholic or Orthodox so what are you saying?

Is this the same village that Wes Streeting talked about a couple of weeks ago on Sky and the BBC?
He told Israel to get its own house in order before lecturing the UK.

I have heard once that the Palestinian Christians are the wrong sort of Christian. Not evangelical findamentalists. And by using their own vernacular, they refer to God as Allah. Some people find that difficult.
I pray for all of the Palestinians every night. Christian, Muslim, Jew, and atheist. And the appalling settlers who, a lot coming from the US, don't need to steal land.

Most Israel supporters just want Hamas out of Gaza and the hostages back. @Twiglets1

And there's the problem, very few supporters of Israel want a two state solution. And until a Palestinian state is created, this cycle of barbaric violence will continue.
Open your eyes, this conflict that has been brewing over the last 130 years is far more than just "Hostages and Hamas".

I’ll be surprised if Netanyahu allows Hamas to stay.

Time will tell.

TooBigForMyBoots · 10/07/2025 18:16

@smallglassbottle the late Pope Francis had daily contact with Christians in Gaza, under attack from Netanyahu's Israel and IDF. Now the threat has extended to Christianity in the West Bank. Is that a surprise to anyone?

Netenyahu doesn't care about Jews, Christians, Muslims, Israelis, Iranians, Americans, Europeans, the Middle East, Britain, Thailand, Ethiopia or anyone else.

He's a fucking psychopath.🤷‍♀️

Clever guess! The site guidelines about personal attacks maybe?? Only problem is I was actually stating that personal attacks are made on me by people I DID NOT name.

I didn't see your post so I don't know.

If your guess is that it was because of a personal attack then it probably was.

It's best to debate politely and not get into anything personal.

BibiSuzanne · 10/07/2025 18:03

Twiglets1 · 10/07/2025 17:57

I'm going to take a wild guess that you broke the site guidelines which is why every post gets deleted.

I wonder how long the Al Aqsa mosque will survive as well.
