Knowing the millions of Christians that have died fighting each other in wars for profits, one has to wonder how much longer this will go on!!

This X account is a notorious Jew-hater, so a rational person would doubt it right off the bat. No one "set fire" to the "monastery," which is just a ruin. There was a brush fire on the outside of it, one of hundreds across Israel today, as highs are in the 90s with no rain for days. Volunteers arrived to check the site and the fire was quickly put out, per 24 News Israel.

Are you sure the Musloids were not launching attacks from those places? Israelis are not burning other Christian sites in Israel? Or attacking Christian Bible tour visitors. Muslims however do this often!

A little background:



Left out of this neat tale is that the three Palestinians weren’t killed by “violent settlers.” Rather, they were shot by the IDF, which was returning fire as it came under attack by gunmen in the village of al-Mughayyir. But this example of media coverage has long been the norm. And now that sectarian agitprop is mainstream in the United States, activists have started to frame their stories accordingly for a specific U.S. audience on the right, emphasizing that the settlers were persecuting Palestinian Christians. Hence, one such activist posted a video on X claiming that “settlers” were “attacking the Christian village of Taybeh … setting homes on fire and shooting at residents.”

That none of this happened doesn’t matter, clearly. What the world sees, over and over—and is then understandably outraged by—are settlers killing Palestinians with no punitive action by the Israeli government. Instead, the takeaway is that the authorities are either turning a blind eye or, worse, encouraging the violence with nods and winks.

Except that’s a manufactured fiction. A recent Israeli study explains how in detail.

The report, published in April by the Regavim Movement, an Israeli NGO (cofounded by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich long before he entered politics) that focuses on land allocation, is a 125-page deep dive into the extent of the settler violence phenomenon.

Authorities are quick to investigate settlers and quick to indict them, sending to court many cases that then get dismissed. The overwhelming majority of complaints turn out to be false.

https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/israel-middle-east/articles/settler-violence-myth Even as it acknowledges that some violence by settlers—at times animated by nationalistic passions—the report shows that in contrast to the cartoonish public image, there is, in fact, very little such violence. Moreover, whatever violence exists, the report goes on to say, it is actively and effectively handled by law enforcement. The reason we do not know this, the report contends, is because of a well-orchestrated and lavishly funded information campaign, which has blown a marginal phenomenon out of proportion to advance a political agenda: the two-state solution. By framing the problem as one of “extremist” settlers victimizing the Palestinians, the solution seems self-evident: Remove the settlers to make room for a Palestinian state.

This campaign brought together a broad coalition of actors, foreign and domestic: boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) supporters, Palestinian politicians, peace processors, left-wing Israeli members of Knesset, protesters opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a host of “human rights” NGOs, several foreign governments, the Biden administration, the European Union, and the United Nations. The left-leaning press within and outside Israel played an important role, too, in keeping the topic on the agenda, as did some in Israel’s security establishment.

The way the op generally works is that human-rights organizations collect “evidence,” which the United Nations then compiles. Politicians repeat the “evidence” laundered by the United Nations, and the press disseminates it. Then, if there’s still any doubt, videos on social media “prove” it, showing settlers looting, harassing, and assaulting the local Palestinian population—sometimes lethally.

By any measure, the campaign has been successful: Settlers are known the world over as a violent, extremist group who are responsible for keeping the conflict festering. More importantly, the Biden administration weaponized the op to set up a sanctions machine against Israel. Other states have since followed suit. Most recently, on June 10, the foreign ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom imposed sanctions on two Israeli cabinet ministers, Smotrich and Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir, for “inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.”

The Regavim report uncovers the reality distorted by years of propaganda.

Where does the data come from? Anecdotal evidence aside, the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) maintains an online database of incidents involving settler violence. The database is based on an updated Excel sheet that is not publicly available on the site, but was obtained by Regavim. The Excel sheet “includes 8,332 ‘incidents involving Israeli settlers and other Israeli civilians’ that occurred in the West Bank or Israel (not in Gaza) between January 11, 2016, and April 30, 2023.”

Let's see who has a conscience.

Let us emphasize and clarify: no Jewish


Let us emphasize and clarify: no Jewish "nationalist crime" was committed, no church was set on fire, and no cemetery was desecrated.
Quite the contrary, Christian Arabs from the village of Taiba set fire to open areas, four times in one week, to prevent Jews from grazing there. 
Here are the facts: 
* The cattle herders of the Rimonim Farm in Binyamin have been suffering for a long time from harassment, attacks, and arson in their grazing areas, including from the village of Taiba - a nearby Christian village. 
* On 03/07, Arabs from the village set fire to their grazing areas to prevent the possibility of Jewish grazing there.
 Additional arson also occurred on 07/07, 08/07, and 11/07. 
* The incident that caused a stir occurred on 07/07. For the second time in a week, Arabs from the village started a fire that began to spread rapidly. 
The farm residents rushed to the spot with motorized blowers and fire extinguishers 
- the ultimate tools for dealing with fires in open areas, and managed to bring the fire under control. 
At the same time, the flames also spread towards the village, but the farm insisted on fighting to extinguish this source of fire even though they could have easily said "let them eat the porridge they cooked", and stopped the fire just before it entered the line of houses where, among other things, an ancient church and cemetery are located. 
* In the entire incident, no damage was caused in any way to either the church or the cemetery, and they certainly were not "completely burned down" or "severely damaged", 
thanks in part to the residents who fought the fire with their bare hands. This is a fact, not an interpretation.
 See the drone image that clearly shows it. 
* Here a wild blood libel began to turn the arson incident from Arab-Christian terrorism into "Jewish terrorism." * Photos of Jewish boys battling flames with blowers and bats were published by Israel haters and branded as "settlers fanning the flames they set." 
Widespread condemnations were issued, large Christian delegations visited the scene, and senior US government officials called for the Jewish arsonists to be brought to justice. 
* But what is the big problem? So far, not a single complaint has been filed with the police. 
I'll repeat it again: The police have been investigating the incident for a week to get to the truth and catch the arsonists, 
a global campaign is underway, and in a village that is seemingly 100 percent convinced that Jews set fire and even fanned the flames with their faces exposed, they simply refuse to complain to the police.
