Foreign Ministry Rushes to Apologize over 'Jesus' Post
Arutz Sheva ^ | 22/12/12 | Gil Ronen

The Foreign Ministry has launched a probe into the posting of a Facebook message by the Israel embassy in Ireland that said if Jesus and Mary were alive today in Bethlehem, they would probably be lynched by local Arabs.

Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said, "We all agree that it was improper, inappropriate." He said Tuesday that it wasn't clear who posted the message.

The post included a picture of Jesus and Mary accompanied by a message saying, “A thought for Christmas ... If Jesus and Mother Mary were alive today, they would, as Jews without security, probably end up being lynched in Bethlehem by hostile Palestinians. Just a thought ...”

The embassy removed the message a few hours after it was posted and issued an apology, saying, "To whom it may concern, an image of Jesus and Mary with a derogatory comment about Palestinians was posted without the consent of the administrator of the Facebook page. We removed the post in question immediately. Apologies to anyone who may have been offended. Merry Christmas!”

In its rush to apologize, the Foreign Ministry made no mention of the fact that the Palestinian Authority's Minister of Prisoners said in November that Jesus was "the first Palestinian and the first [Islamic] martyr in history."

It’s true what the post said. They would murder them today. People arean’t ready yet. But someday, the world will have to deal with the truth of the violent reality of islam. Reality can be ignored, but consequenses of ignoring reality cannot.
It’s a when, not an if.

Rmney said 47% of the voters would vote for Obama no matter what he said—————TRuth
Romney said Obama bought the election with entitlements-—Truth.

If Jesus and Mary were alive today they would probably be killed ——truth.

But you cannot tell the truth today without offending someone.

A warranted expectation, but which is not restricted to Palestine. In the Beltway and beyond abortion counseling would be recommended for Mary, and the Lord Jesus would be attacked as right wing radical by most churches, and most would see Him as the threat He is to our selfish lifestyles.

They’d be safe ‘til the pageant was over. Can’t have anything messy on TV.
