Absolute horror exposed at the Oxford Union. A speaker reveals Israel dropped 4 million cluster bombs on Lebanon in just 72 hours AFTER a UN resolution passed. They intentionally sabotage ceasefires the moment they are signed. Pure evil.

Fake American Christianity could never produce such heart-melting beauty in a million years

“0’ Lord of Powers, Be with Us” in Arabic Orthodox Christian Chanter Ribale Wehbe, from Lebanon 🇱🇧 📿

Kim Jong-Un broke protocol by inviting the South Korean president to cross the demarcation line and, after a brief hesitation, took him by the hand to cross over to the other side together.

Hussein Saleh lost 8 members of his family in an Israeli strike on their home, including his pregnant wife. He found the head of his young daughter amid the rubble. “When I picked up her head, everything changed. Something in my heart broke and went silent.” It is one of the most heartbreaking stories @NadaOHomsi and I have worked on during the war. Nothing could justify such a horrific attack.

Cardinal Parolin: “Many governments have expressed outrage over attacks on Ukrainian civilians by Russian missiles and drones, imposing sanctions on the aggressors. It does not seem that the same has happened with the tragedy of the destruction of Gaza.” vaticannews.va/en/vatican-cit…

America stands with Pope Leo XIV.

A NEW DAY IS DAWNING AND A NEW WORLD ORDER HAS EMERGED. Iran has surfaced as a legitimate world power. Many countries around the world are secretly negotiating deals with Iran behind Donald Trump’s back. When the sand clears, US will be isolated from almost every major country except Israel. With friends like Israel who needs enemies? We may have lost our financial dominance of our Petrodollar. Our tourism industry is devastated including the billions cities were expecting to make from the World Cup. Atlanta alone loses one billion. We’ve lost trillions of dollars of military equipment, assets, radar, defense systems, and 13 military bases. Gulf states have been canceling security, defense, and weapons contracts with the US. And signing new deals with Europe and China. Donald Trump has done a what he does best, —bankruptcies. America, according to the US treasury department is officially insolvent. Only took MAGA 15 months. MAGA will go down in history as the biggest LOSER in American history.

God's chosen people – and our GREATEST ALLY—doing exactly what Jesus would do! And not that it matters to American neo-cons, but my Christian sources on the ground in Lebanon tell me that since March 2026, Israel has conducted an intensive military campaign across Lebanon that has displaced over 1.2 million people — 22% of the country's entire population. “This is not a figure from a press release,” my source told me yesterday, “this is the lived reality of families I know personally, of parishes in my network, of priests who are sleeping in their sacristies because their rectories have been requisitioned as emergency shelters.” Among the displaced are thousands of Maronite, Greek Catholic, and Greek Orthodox Christian families from the villages and valleys of South Lebanon — communities that have maintained the Christian presence in the Levant without interruption since the time of the Apostles. These are the inheritors of the same tradition that produced Saint Maron, Saint Charbel, and Blessed Nimatullah Kassab. They are the living flesh of the Church of Antioch. The scale of physical destruction is staggering. More than 99,000 homes were damaged or destroyed in the previous 2023–2024 round of conflict alone. The current campaign is more intense. God help our Christian brothers and sisters in Lebanon. And, no, I do not accept the "human shield" excuse. If Israel cannot contain Hezbollah without wiping out tens of thousands of innocent Christian hostages, then Israel needs to find a better way. When the bad guy has a knife to the throat of an innocent hostage, the cops don’t just shoot them both. The cops negotiate to save the life of the hostage. At the moment, Isreal is refusing to stop killing Lebanese even during the two-week ceasefire with Iran. And who is getting slaughtered? Why, the Christians are, of course! God help us all.

The Avignon Papacy reference is the detail that demands attention. An American defense official invoked a 14th-century episode in which the French Crown physically relocated the papacy to Avignon and controlled it for 67 years - as an implicit model for what happens to religious institutions that oppose state power. That's not a slip of the tongue. That's a studied historical reference deployed deliberately in a room with the Pope's senior diplomat. The message was not subtle. Leo heard it. He spent Holy Week delivering what papal scholars described as a sustained theological argument about the nature of power and imperial violence. On Palm Sunday he said Jesus rejects the prayers of those who wage war. On Easter Sunday - the same morning Trump posted his expletive-filled threat on Truth Social - Leo told world leaders to lay down weapons. On Tuesday he called the civilization threat "truly unacceptable" and asked citizens directly to contact their elected representatives. The White House's response to the Pope's Tuesday statement: "The Iranian people welcome the sound of bombs because it means their oppressors are losing." The first American pope will spend America's 250th birthday on Lampedusa with migrants. One Vatican official told The Free Press: "The Pope may well never visit the United States under this administration." The Pentagon summoned a cardinal and invoked the Avignon Papacy. The Pope responded by asking 1.4 billion Catholics to call their congressmen.

@ChristopherHale If the US has stooped to threatening the Vatican and its representatives then maybe we truly are the “Great Satan”

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the United States later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Here’s the full story. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pete-hegseth…

In January, behind closed doors at the Pentagon, Under Secretary of War for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned Cardinal Christophe Pierre — Pope Leo XIV’s then-ambassador to the United States — and delivered a lecture. America, Colby and his colleagues told the cardinal, has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side. As tempers rose, one U.S. official reached for a fourteenth-century weapon and invoked the Avignon Papacy, the period when the French Crown used military force to bend the bishop of Rome to its will. That scene, broken this week by Mattia Ferraresi in an extraordinary piece of journalism for The Free Press, may be the most remarkable moment in the long and knotted history of the American republic’s relationship with the Catholic Church. substack.com/home/post/p-19…

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Israel ruthlessly carpet bombed Lebanon today, killing at least 180 people and injuring more than 800. How does the BBC report it? “Israel says it hit more than 100 command centres and military sites in 10 minutes…” This is how war crimes are laundered.

On Tuesday evening, 27 January 2026, cousins Muhammad Nasrallah, 17, and Hassan Nasrallah, 18, were walking home along a dirt path in the West Bank town of a-Dhahiriyah. Muhammad started climbing over a low stone wall to get to the road home when suddenly, soldiers hiding among olive trees across the road opened fire at him. He was shot in the abdomen and fell. Hassan was trying to help his injured cousin when he saw a soldier aiming his rifle at him. He tried to run away, but the soldiers fired about eight shots at him, wounding him in the leg. When a Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance arrived, the soldiers aimed their guns at the paramedics, ordered them to turn off the siren, and refused to help lift the stretcher over the wall. Only after a prolonged delay was Muhammad taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Since October 2023, Israel has killed at least 1050 Palestinians in the West Bank. Under Israel’s apartheid regime, Palestinian lives are treated as entirely expendable. Read the full investigation >> btselem.org/firearms/20260…

Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva. Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable. Toca hablar claro: - Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego. - La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional. - La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel. - Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
