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.

No coverage in western media. It’s simply Christianophobia. Let’s called it out for what it really is. Jewish settlers attacking Christian residents.

That is awful. I have known of this

O God Almighty, hear our prayers of lament! Our hearts are heavy as we witness the suffering of our brothers and sisters in Christ, as their lives are torn apart. Lord have mercy! We pray for all who live in the Holy Lands of sacred scriptures, may peace be with them, today and all the days of their life. Amen.

I didn't know about this. I came across it on Instagram. I'm shocked and saddened.

🙏🏻 thank you for this prayer. I shall continue in prayers for the Christians who are being persecuted across the world and to pray that the Holy Land is preserved.

@smallglassbottle be wary of posters who think this is okay. Was on a thread the other day where it was deleted due to disgusting comments about the CITME.

Oh this is terribly sad 😔

Why are they being attacked?

Oh, so you're ADPackage?

No idea what that is.

Hate and to incite terror.

What’s CITME?

Christians in the Middle East?

Sadly it doesn't surprise me, settlers are a vile bunch, emboldened by a vile Israeli Government who encourage them. If you arent Jewish you probably aren't safe there now. So sad.

Conflict In The Middle East.
The illegal Jewish settlers are expanding their land under protection of the Israeli Army with increasing violence. The land that is entirely made up of the only Christian Palestine village. And the end of June, 4 Palestinians were murdered due to resisting the take over.

You’re welcome here. I wouldn’t engage if they do come knocking.

Why on earth has my post been deleted?? I literally said I felt afraid to post. Why does MN allow such hateful posts to stand and delete the post of someone who says they feel afraid to post? MNHQ I want an answer to this.

Because some people hate Christians and don't want them in the west bank I guess.

Christianity originated in the middle east.

Agree. You should email them to get an answer @JSMill

I was having a brain fog moment. My reply was what does CITME stand for. Appologies.

Do you have an email address? I can’t find it on my app.

Try [email protected] if you get email notifications you could maybe reply to that. Or put it on the “site stuff” and hopefully you’ll get a reply.

It's an awful situation. Just dreadful. I really wish countries would have taken the ICJs ruling seriously and taken the action that they recommended. There has been a huge escalation of settler violence in recent years, it must be terrifying and exhausting for their victims to have to either leave their homes for good or be forced to live with constant threat.
