Statehood and Stupidity

 This week, the governments of Spain, Ireland, and Norway announced their joint decision to recognize a "Palestinian State", with the present Palestinian Authority as its legitimate government.  While on the surface there is the thinnest of a veneer of civility, this action demonstrates just how much hatred and animosity many still hold for Jews and the State of Israel as a whole.  The facts of the matter are simple, yet everyone who wants to be a 'social justice warrior' seem to have forgotten, so let us review:

The modern state of Israel was established in 1948, following a failed attempt by the Arab nations of the Middle East to destroy the Jewish population of the British "mandate of Palestine", following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire.  This attempt to wipe out the Jews in the Middle East failed, and as they retreated; the Arab authorities encouraged, coerced, convinced, and forced non-Jewish citizens to leave their homes in the area that is Israel, with the mantra that they would sooner die than be ruled by the infidel (Jews, in this case), in what they now blame on Israel and call "Nakba".     There has never been a 'state' of Palestine in the history of the world.  The term Palestine was coined by the Roman governors in honor of the people of the Philistines who inhabited what is today Gaza; and were of Greek descent.  This was done to deny the people of Judea and Israel even their national identity, as punishment for revolting against the Roman Empire's rule over them.  Modern so-called Palestinians come principally from the region of Jordan, having been expelled from the nation of Jordan because they would not live peacefully with the other tribes who inhabit that land.  Israel to its credit, recognizes that there are non-Jews and others who have resided within its territories for a long time; and have given up much land which they have by right of conquest and by international designation, so that the people can have a peaceful coexistence.  Israel gave to those who call themselves "Palestinians" the entirety of Gaza and portions of the West Bank for their own, with the entirety of Gaza being recognized as self-governing; and Israel helping to supply its needs so that it could build itself up as a State.  Palestinians were not satisfied with this, and so we come to the installment of Hamas as the leaders of the land of Gaza.  Immediately Israel shut down the open border with Gaza, to limit the chances of the known and self-professed terrorist organization from killing Jews (which is part of their charter); yet Israel still continued to help provide for the people of Gaza and their infrastructure, though such things were hijacked by Hamas so they could tunnel and terrorize.  

Make no mistake about it- Gaza and the "Palestinian" state are governed and controlled by terrorists.  They have made it abundantly clear they will not live with, nor abide the existence of Jews; so how can the act of the governments of Spain, Norway, and Ireland be seen as anything less than a declaration of utter hatred for Israel as a whole?   They proclaim to search for peace and want a 2-state solution, oh yes; everybody says that.   However the entire western world seems to have forgotten that prior to Hamas and Gaza declaring war on Israel,  the Palestinians had their own state.  It was self-governing, there was no oversight from the Israeli authorities; Gaza WAS the independent "Palestinian" state that everyone claims they want.  Imagine the absolute, sheer lunacy of these men, claiming they want a State for people who have willfully and gleefully started a war by an act of genocide!!  Is that really all one needs to do in order to be recognized as an independent state by the world leaders?  Commit horrific atrocities against innocent people, start a war to get your own people killed while you literally hide under them beneath the ground, and voila:                insta-statehood?  

The fact that these men have the nerve to stand before the world and proclaim that the people who began a war to destroy an entire sovereign nation and innocent people, have the "right to a State of their own"; is an act of hubris which sickens the heart and stomach of anyone who has any shred of decency left in this sick world.  

Yet another demonstration of this evil world's addiction to a culture of death, violence, hatred, deceit, and wickedness.

The Bloated Liar of Fort Worth and the Truth

Image
 Most Sacramental Christians in the English Speaking world have by this point in time heard of the case of Father Philip Johnson from the Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina.  Last year, Fr. Philip was publicly accused and denounced for allegedly "violating the sixth commandment" with the mother superior of the Arlington Carmelite convent in Texas.  Bishop Olson of the Diocese of Fort Worth was vehement in his public pronouncements of Fr. Philip's guilt, despite claiming the investigation was still ongoing; and did all in his power to destroy both the career and reputation of a brother priest in the church of God.   Now that a year has passed, there is good news for Fr. Philip and the church as a whole.  Despite Olson the Odious' best attempts to destroy him, the Diocese of Raleigh, NC has determined that he is completely and utterly innocent of ANY and ALL the accusations made against him by the bishop of Fort Worth (as of June 25, 2024).  Though Fr. P...

Profane Parisian Performance, Perpetrated Purposefully

 As one who does not regularly watch the Olympics, I do not ordinarily hold much opinion about them as a general rule of thumb.  I mean, apart from the blatantly neo-pagan ritual they hold at Mount Olympus in Greece in order to light the Olympic flame, there isn't ordinarily too much for one to object to on a moral level.  Judge my surprise, when the sight of a bevy of Drag Queens mimicking and mocking the Last Supper was broadcast on international television.  Men dressed as parodies of women, posing about a table to mock the famous image of the Last Supper; with a nude figure in blue representing the ancient Roman pagan deity Bacchus (god of wine) on the table in front of them.  These blasphemers and God-haters don't even TRY to hide their contempt for religion anymore.  To top it all off, the cathedral of Notre Dame has finally been able to unveil its great spire and roof after 4 years, since being destroyed in a great fire; and THIS is how "the communit...

Ordinations and Construction

Image
 This past Saturday, the Diocese of which I am part held its ordinations to the priesthood.  This year we had 3 goodly candidates for orders, all sincere men who have expressed clearly over their years of formation a desire to serve and build up the church of God.  The service was obliged to be held at St. Timothy's Episcopal church in Winston-Salem; due to the fact that none of our own chapels at present would be able to hold the number of people who attended the service. I and the entire diocese are eternally grateful to the rector and people of St. Timothy's for allowing us to use their smaller chapel (to the side of the main church).  Words cannot possibly express our gratitude for their friendship and mutual work over the years.   The smaller chapel at St. Timothy's is not as small as it may sound, it's actually a quite decently sized church, and was the original church that their congregation started in many decades ago.  As I myself stood in the...
