Rachel the Jew #FreeIran

3/ Unfortunately there were people carrying and in one case selling Iranian regime flags ... and also offensive "Zionists go home" chants from far left antisemitic groups... if it were up to me they would have been kicked off the demo ...

I am disappointed with the decision by the Israeli police to prevent the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem and the Christian Communities of the Holy Land from marking Palm Sunday at the Holy Sepulchre.    These actions further violate the longstanding status quo of Jerusalem’s Holy Sites. People of every faith in Jerusalem should be able to worship freely, fully, and without fear. I am pleased that President Herzog has contacted the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, to reaffirm this.

My statement re Prohibiting the Latin Patriarch of entering Church of Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday: While all Holy sites in the Old City are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel Nat'l Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and 3 other priests from entering the Church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach already having major repercussions around the world.  Home Front Command Guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less.  The 4 representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction.  Statements from the Gov't of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were for safety reasons, but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or less.  For the Patriarch to be barred from entry to the Church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the Patriarch to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities.

Spoke to my family today - all refused to talk to you. You then started hunting down random "anon" relatives. People are holding your shit rag accountable. You've not just "touched a nerve." You've absolutely spurred on a movement ready to take on the Daily Mail. Congrats.

Hundreds turned out in the rain for the funerals of three Lebanese journalists killed in a targeted Israeli attack. Israel accused one of being an intel gatherer for Hezbollah without prov evidence. The killings have been called war crimes by Leb Govt, Pres, journo gps

You’d think the leader of a political party would have better things to do than continuing to send hatred in my direction. My story, in which his family expressed fears about the dangerously Jew-hating place the Greens are going to, appears to have touched a nerve. Because he knows it’s true. That’s why he’s attacking me and the paper I wrote it for. But he cannot attack the story itself.
