Israeli police prevented the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to celebrate Palm Sunday Mass. This is the first time in centuries that the heads of the Church were barred from celebrating Palm Sunday Mass at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Follow: @AFpost


On Palm Sunday, as we commemorate the entry of Jesus in Jerusalem, we remember that the Christians of Palestine, the most ancient Christian community in the world, continue to be persecuted, harassed, killed, bombed, imprisoned and denied prayers at their holy sites by Israel for over 77 years:

BREAKING: Armed attack on the Christian city of Suqaylabiyah in Hama, Syria. HTS-aligned residents of Qalaat al-Madiq were seen attacking properties belonging to the Christian population in Suqaylabiyah. They also targeted a statue of the Virgin Mary in the city. The attack involved rioting and vandalism targeting several shops, as well as assaults on civilians.

Iran would be a better ally for the USA than Israel. Iran produces oil, technology, and food. Israel produces nothing.




Many Arab media outlets and platforms claim that Israel prevents Christian clergy from praying in Jerusalem. However, as any resident of the city knows, everyone — Muslims, Christians, and Jews alike — is currently prohibited from performing prayers in and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, other mosques, churches, and even the Western Wall, due to Iranian missile threats, in order to ensure public safety.


❌❌ PSA to all the suddenly outrages crowd screaming at Israel for protecting civilians against Iranian Missiles. The rules of security demand, for all gathering, proximity of a shelter. The Saint-Sépulcre Church - who was nearly hit days ago - has NONE.

As the United States and Israel prepared to go to war with Iran, the head of Mossad, Israel’s foreign intelligence service, went to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a plan. Within days of the war’s beginning the Mossad would likely be able to galvanize the Iranian opposition — igniting riots and other acts of rebellion that could even lead to the collapse of Iran’s government. Mossad Chief also presented the proposal to senior Trump administration officials during a visit to Washington in mid-January. Mr. Netanyahu adopted the plan. Despite doubts about its viability among senior American officials and some officials in other Israeli intelligence agencies, both he and President Trump seemed to embrace an optimistic outlook. Killing Iran’s leaders at the outset of the conflict, followed by a series of intelligence operations intended to encourage regime change, they thought, could lead to a mass uprising that might bring about a swift end to the war. “Take over your government: It will be yours to take,” Mr. Trump told Iranians in his initial address at the war’s start, after saying they should first seek shelter from the bombing. Three weeks into the war, an Iranian uprising has not yet materialized. American and Israeli intelligence assessments have concluded that the theocratic Iranian government is weakened but intact, and that widespread fear of Iran’s military and police forces has dampened prospects both for nascent rebellion in the country and for ethnic militias outside of Iran to launch cross-border incursions.
