On January 25, 1904, Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism—which is supported, perhaps ignorantly so by many by many Evangelicals and even some Catholics—met with Pope Pius X at the Vatican to seek his support for the political establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine—what would eventually become the State of Israel. The Pope’s response was clear and decisive:
“We cannot give approval to this movement. We cannot prevent the Jews from going to Jerusalem – but we could never sanction it. The soil of Jerusalem, if it was not always sacred, has been sanctified by the life of Jesus Christ. As the head of the Church I cannot tell you anything different. The Jews have not recognized our Lord, therefore we cannot recognize the Jewish people.”
THIS POST IS JUST A TINY PIECE concerning the truth about Israel. So many conservative Catholics, including well-meaning priests, don’t know this.
This priest does:
Thing is, the information is not that difficult to find. And if it were “RUSSIA” behind the attacks, you know how the Mockingbird media would have covered it. You know how history would have been written.
This whole thing was memory-holed. You’ll see officials in this video admitting that there was never any hard evidence against Osama bin-Laden.
Everything going on right now in the Middle East, not to mention Ukraine and Russia, is linked to 9/11. Where the Trump administration plays in all of this remains to be seen. There are evidences galore that push him in either direction.
This is why Christ must be the center of our world.
Pray and fast. There is a lot against us, including a cacophony of deceptions endangering people’s souls.
Here is the article regarding the feature cartoon photo:
In the wake of a report that an Obama administration official used a barnyard epithet defying Hebrew translation to refer to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz published a cartoon on the strained relations between Washington and Jerusalem that compared the Israeli leader to the hijackers who attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001.
As the image circulated online, readers across the political spectrum in Israel and the United States expressed outrage at the depiction of a smiling Mr. Netanyahu piloting a plane at the World Trade Center. Others, including the Jerusalem-based political analyst Brooklyn Middleton, were left scratching their heads.
The cartoonist who created the image, Amos Biderman, explained on Twitter and in an interview with The Times of Israel that he meant to suggest that Mr. Netanyahu’s “arrogance” and policies on settlement construction in the West Bank had provoked “a disaster in Israel-U.S. relations on the scale of 9/11.”
A conservative Israeli magazine responded by remixing the image to portray Haaretz, the voice of liberal Zionism, on a similar suicide mission against the prime minister’s office.
One of Mr. Netanyahu’s American critics, M.J. Rosenberg, reminded his readers that when asked on Sept. 11, 2001, “what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel,” Mr. Netanyahu initially replied: “It’s very good.” Moments later, he retracted that statement, saying, “Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.”
Whatever the cartoonist’s intention, the image was, as the British commentator Tom Wislon predicted, welcomed on social networks by anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists who continue to claim, in the complete absence of evidence, that the 2001 attacks were the work of Israeli intelligence operatives.
Mr. Netanyahu was dealing with a more important matter on Thursday, the violence in Jerusalem that set the city on edge, but before the cartoon was published, he did respond to the reported insult that prompted the image. The prime minister characterized the rhetorical attack on him by an unnamed American official as a response to his defense of Israel’s national security.

Emphasis mine. I ask you again, if the nation behind the evidence in the video were Russia, or China or Iran, do you think this would be the media’s approach?
Does it make you wonder what “Russia” exactly the Blessed Mother was talking about in 1917 at Fatima?
This will be difficult for many. The cognitive dissonance will be great, especially since something like this makes it seem the writer is defending Islam. We are that concretized in our tribal, binary assumptions about the world. Difficult it is to consider that someone making this post has nothing for either Muslims or Jews, except the ones we must pray for in the great conversion. Christ is King, period.
“Neither dost thou fear God, seeing thou art condemned under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil. Lord, remember me when thou shalt come into thy kingdom.”
Forgive me, Lord, for my part in all of this. For I am not without grave sin, and many times over.
