Israel and the Holy See

It is high time not only for the churches to start paying the taxes they owe the State of Israel, but to restore the vast troves of property looted from the Jewish people over a period of centuries.

Shi’a Muslims gather around the Husayn mosque in Karbala, Iraq, after making a pilgrimage on foot during Arba'een, a 40-day period that commemorates the killing of Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, and 72 of his followers at the Battle of Karbala in the year 680 B.C. That battle is seen as a source of the ongoing battle between Sunni and Shi’a Islam. Credit: SFC Larry E. Johns, USA, via Wikimedia Commons.

No Israel-Palestinian peace deal is possible, even Trump’s ‘deal of the century’

How can Israel trust Palestinian leaders who have blood on their hands and a population of men, women and children who have been educated for years to kill us and to die as martyrs?

UN tricks against Israel

Let us wish that the U.S. administration will find a way to stop paying, with its taxpayers’ money, for the Palestinian and Muslim propaganda of the Division for Palestinian Rights and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.
