more bullshit

[servo1969]

Israeli settlers (Jews?)
Christian town (Filled with Christians?)

I take nothing at face value.

[gildafarrell]

Nah, won’t believe this crap.

[Romulus]

There are pictures.

[Uncle Miltie]

Is this the one that has been thoroughly debunked here previously?

If so, do try to keep up.

[marron]

The article mentions that only 2% of West Bank Arabs are Christian. They don’t mention Muslim repression against them, because really they can’t.

[mairdie]

Extremists are crazy and do things normal members of a group would never do. That shouldn’t tar the group, but belonging to the group also should not protect the guilty.

Residents watched in horror as the blaze spread closer to the Church of St George, which dates back to the fifth century. The flames were doused, but not for long. That evening, settlers returned to the town of Taybeh with assault rifles. The same happened the next day and three days after that.

Bashar Fawadleh, the parish priest, told The Telegraph: “Each time we called the Israeli police, but they did not come. “If they attack our sacred site, they can attack anything of ours.”

Pallywood always has pictures

I’ve supported an Arab Christian ministry for years that is located in Israel. They speak often about Christians in the West Bank.

It seems to me that so many believe what they want to believe without research.

I suggest going to the Ground News where you can get news articles from all over the world and the USA. It gives you a broad perspective of what is really going on.

Truth hurts sometimes.

In 2008, Taybeh had a low birthrate and residents feared that the population would entirely disappear. According to the mayor, the population in 2010 was 2,300, with 12,000 former residents and their descendants living in the U.S., Chile, and Guatemala.

[Tell It Right]

8 years ago I toured Israel, including a Christian school for Arabs. They hated Jews about as much as the Muslims did. About the only difference was the Christian Arabs actually loved their kids.

[xenia]

This ministry does not hate Jews.

[Flaming Conservative]

Israeli settlers does not necessarily mean Jews...

[cuz1961]

This fake news paliwood fiction has already been thourghly been proven false here just last week

Why post this Jews hate crap again ?

[dangus]

Apparently, Jews burnt an empty field behind a 6th-century church. Who knows why.... to clear land for construction? There was a gap between the field and the church. The headline, which makes it sound like they burnt the town down is beyond absurd, but the actions would seem to be criminal, and the Israeli government’s response seems to be completely dismissive.

[cuz1961]

No.muslims set a field Israelis HAD RENTED to feed their live stock.

Then when Israelis showed up to put the fire out the fakeistimians threw rocks at them , took pictures, and spread a lie.

This was proven last week.

What? You Jew haters just are never satiated ?

[Uncle Miltie]

Yeah, this is the Leaf Blower lie that went around last week.

Feel free to ignore.

[dangus]

Calm down; I was correcting the insane hype of the article. I believe you 100%, but I’d appreciate it if you had a link.
