CHRISTIANS IN ISRAEL BEING TARGETED TO START PAYING TAX
Heads of churches say the Israeli government is demanding they now start paying property tax
Leaders of major churches say this is a “coordinated attack” on the Christian presence in the Holy Land
Churches say this goes against a centuries-old status quo and reflects mounting intolerance for the tiny Christian presence in the Holy Land.
Warning letters have been sent to church officials cautioning them of legal action if they did not pay taxes.
“We believe these efforts represent a coordinated attack on the Christian presence in the Holy Land,” wrote the heads of the Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian Orthodox churches.
“In this time, when the whole world, and the Christian world in particular, are constantly following the events in Israel, we find ourselves, once again, dealing with an attempt by authorities to drive the Christian presence out of the Holy Land.”
Christians are a tiny minority, making up less than 2% of the population of Israel and the Palestinian territories.
There are 182,000 Christians in Israel, 50,000 in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and 1,300 in Gaza, according to the U.S. State Department. The vast majority are Palestinians.
In 2018, Christians closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — revered by Christians as the site of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection — to protest a move by Israeli officials to impose taxes on commercial properties in the holy city.

Ik bied hierbij formeel mijn excuses aan aan iedereen die ik gekwetst heb met ondoordachte en bevooroordeelde denkbeelden over moslims. Christenen en moslims hebben meer met elkaar gemeen dan dat ze met elkaar verschillen en ik zie dit nu scherper dan ooit tevoren!

Dat siert je. Ze kunnen zeker naast elkaar leven maar ze zijn net zo goed als ander geloof beïnvloed door vuile spelletjes die moeilijk te doorgronden zijn. Neemt niet weg dat we nu wel een probleem hebben voor wat betreft migratie wat nauwelijks nog op te lossen lijkt. Spreidingswet van tafel staat in hoofdlijn akkoord. Maar hoe dat aan te pakken en of Faber het aan gaat pakken is maar de vraag. De grote stroom Afrikanen heeft in mijn beleving niet met religie te maken maar wel met dat de toestroom van deze mensen voornamelijk uit criminele circuit komen. Geen mens is in staat tot de daden waar ze schuldig aan maken. Dus zullen ze uitgezet moeten worden of hier bestraft moeten worden. Maar goed, de financiering daarvan moet natuurlijk weer ergens vandaan komen.
Zolang als de PVV wel de islam als schuldige aan wijst en dat ook nog eens persoonlijk maakt vanwege Wilders die bedreigt word zie ik het somber in. Maar ook christenen worden harder aangepakt. Ik ben geneigd om onderhand geen fuck meer te geloven van die zogenaamde bedreigingen aan het adres van Wilders. In elk geval niet door de Islam maar georganiseerd door corrupte politici.

Fear not.
You [we] are not helpless.
Enough must see.
It is the only way.
You are being presented with the gift of vision.
Ability to see [clearly] what they've hid from you for so long [illumination].
Their deception [dark actions] on full display.
People are waking up in mass.
People are no longer blind.
Do you think it's a coincidence they banned and prevent you attending Church _house of worship?
Anti-American.
Anti-God.
One must only look to see.
Have faith in Humanity.
Have faith in yourself.
Let light guide you.
Find peace through prayer.
