Israeli settlers set fire to St. George Greek Orthodox Monastery and the Christian cemetery in the Christian village of Taybeh, West Bank.

This is the place Christ sought refuge in John 11:54 before His passion and death called Ephraim.

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!!

[Ann Archy]

If this is TRUE, God help us.....GOD smite those settlers.

Israeli settlers....

of palestinian and islamic alignment and origin?

[Uncle Miltie]

One hopes the Israeli government will arrest and prosecute the lawbreakers.

of palestinian and islamic alignment and origin?

Jewish Israelis are perfectly capable of showing antipathy towards Christians without Islamic influence.

And it's not a new phenomenon in the least.

No, even according to the Jerusalem Post, these acts are being committed by Jewish “settlers”.

I think I’m probably as shocked as you are, but I guess every movement / demographic has its extremists. Hopefully they will stopped by Israeli authorities. This is a major black eye for the image of the state of Israel and Israeli jews.

[Uncle Miltie]

I am trying to find any news item about this and haven’t succeeded. Do you know of any?

“Israeli settlers....

I do not believe the words “palestinian” or “islamic” were mentioned anywhere in the article though one of the landmarks is in the land of Palestine.

[Grey182]

The police or Shin Bet or whoever, watch the settlers commit crimes and if anyone tries to stop the settlers… those are are the people they arrest.

[telescope115]

of palestinian and islamic alignment and origin?

Most likely. I can’t believe that Jews would do this.

[Romulus]

Denial is an amazing thing.

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.

[Romulus]

Why not? Does it threaten your worldview?

[montag813]

I am trying to find any news item about this and haven’t succeeded. Do you know of any?

Because it is a lie and attempted blood libel by a Jew-hater on X.

[central_va]

Nazi much?

[Jan_Sobieski]

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!

[Uncle Miltie]

(Was wondering …)

;-)

[Uncle Miltie]

There are somewhat regular reports of Jews Behaving Badly in Judea and Samaria. I definitely hope these are misunderstandings, rare, and prosecuted when true.

Israel has enough lies told against it and trouble in the world. It knows it will be held to the highest possible standard, which helps ensure the best behavior. Misbehavior should be prosecuted as thoroughly as possible to help improve the PR they so desperately need.

[HockeyPop]

Typical visceral knee jerk opportunity to smear Jews by filthy light weight jr. propagandists.

No, even according to the Jerusalem Post,...
