Today I had the honor of meeting with Maher N. Canawati, the Mayor of Bethlehem (the birthplace of Jesus), who is also a Christian. He told me about Christian persecution happening in Bethlehem and also in Gaza and the West Bank. Christians have been killed in the bombings in Gaza and churches have been attacked. Others have told me this as well, and I’ve seen videos on line. The Mayor says they only want to live in peace alongside their Jewish and Muslim neighbors in their homes that they legally own yet the settlers continue to take their homes. There are approximately 139 IDF checkpoints now in Bethlehem which one was 41 sq miles but has now been reduced to 7 sq miles. Bethlehem is the birthplace of Jesus. American Christians are largely unaware of the Christian persecution happening there, but need to learn about this and speak out. What is the Holy Land without Christians?

“We must not balance the budget on the backs of the poor.” - Gabriel Salguero I stand with @NalecNews on these matters of cruel and indiscriminate practices related to immigration as well as budget cuts that crush the poor and vulnerable communities.

The new Biden border policy is awful. A tired recycling of a Trump move that will be challenged in court, now as then. Experts will comment on the legal and political angles. And it’s certainly counterproductive and inefficient.
