Culture Watch: 'On israel, Hamas and the Left'

 By Bill Muehlenberg Published October 11, 2023 The latest on the situation in Israel: With 300,000 reservists called up, and tanks positioned along the border with Gaza, it seems it will be just a matter of time before Israeli forces enter Gaza to seek to rescue the many hostages taken, and to try to finally eradicate the evil that is Hamas. The Hamas Charter specifically states that it exists to destroy Israel. No nation can live with such murderous thugs so close. The massacres of civilians on the weekend was proudly done by Hamas and its Iranian backers. What we witnessed was not just horrific war crimes, but crimes pure and simple. Israel of course has no choice but to go after Hamas, no matter how difficult it will be. Hamas specialises in embedding itself in civilian populations, using hospitals, schools and residential areas as their base of operations and munitions manufacturing – it is their hiding place. Sadly therefore there will be civilian casualties in any Israeli incurs

Christian witness to China camp horrors now in U.S.

Ovalbek Turdakun (right) gives a press conference with the help of a translator Wednesday (April 13) in Washington, D.C.  By Tom Strode - Posted at The Pathway : WASHINGTON (BP) – A Christian who was imprisoned for 10 months in western China is now in the United States as a witness to the notorious “re-education” camps being operated by the Communist regime of the world’s most populous country. Ovalbek Turdakun, his wife and son arrived in the United States April 8 after a lengthy, successful effort to avoid deportation back to China that was aided by allies in the United States and other countries. Ovalbek is the first Christian to speak out about his detention in the camps in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, according to Axios, a news website that first reported on his arrival April 12. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has primarily targeted the Uyghurs, a primarily Muslim group in Xinjiang, in a genocidal campaign, but other ethnic groups also have been included in its suppressio

Olympics committee stands behind China despite human rights abuses

By Cassy Fiano-Chesser - Posted at LiveAction: The Olympic Games usually draw worldwide interest, with millions of people across the globe watching impressive feats of athleticism from the world’s best. The upcoming winter games are scheduled to begin in February of 2022, but they have been marked with scandal and controversy from the very beginning. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded Beijing, China, the honor of hosting the next games — despite widespread knowledge of human rights abuses in the country. And as those abuses — including the genocide and mistreatment of its own citizens — come to light, the IOC has chosen to do nothing, continuing to stand by China. The latest controversy began when Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai accused a top government official of rape. She soon disappeared for several weeks, with calls for transparency growing louder \with no response. Then, she finally resurfaced, though many believe the appearances were staged , with the Chinese Comm

Reflection of Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum

Posted at The Domain for Truth: Perhaps one of the most disturbing place I’ve been to has been the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. I visited there many years ago. Here’s a bit about it : Tuol Svay Pray High School sits on a dusty road on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In 1976, the Khmer Rouge renamed the high school S-21 and turned it into a torture, interrogation and execution center. Of the 14,000 people known to have entered, only seven survived. Not only did the Khmer Rouge carefully transcribe the prisoners’ interrogations; they also carefully photographed the vast majority of the inmates and created an astonishing photographic archive. Each of the almost 6,000 S-21 portraits that have been recovered tells a story shock, resignation, confusion, defiance and horror. Although the most gruesome images to come out of Cambodia were those of the mass graves, the most haunting were the portraits taken by the Khmer Rouge at S-21. At least 14,000 victims. I’ve seen other numb

House Passes Resolution Recognizing Christian Genocide, White House Determination Deadline Tomorrow

Posted at Voice of the Persecuted : ( Voice of the Persecuted ) On Monday night, the House voted to pass a resolution declaring the Islamic State to be committing genocide against Christians and other religious minorities in the Middle East. The resolution passed 383-0, which many are calling a miracle! To all who have prayed, Thank you. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) issued the following statement on House passage of H. Con. Res. 121 and H. Con. Res. 75, which condemn the atrocities committed by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and ISIS: “What is happening in Iraq and Syria is a deliberate, systematic targeting of religious and ethnic minorities. Today, the House unanimously voted to call ISIS’s atrocities what they are: a genocide. We also will continue to offer our prayers for the persecuted.” Christians are also severely persecuted by ISIS and other Islamic radicals globally. They have been on a religious cleansing mission to eradicate Christianity in their quest for a pu

Council of Europe: ISIS is Committing Genocide against Religious Minorities

Christian Headlines By Veronica Neffinger  - Posted at Christian Headlines : The Council of Europe has officially recognized the Islamic State’s persecution of religious and ethnic minorities in the Middle East as genocide. Christian Today reports that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe passed a resolution entitled “Foreign Fighters in Syria and Iraq.” The report states that ISIS has “perpetrated acts of genocide and other serious crimes punishable under international law.” The resolution passed 117 votes to one. Under international law, genocide is considered the severest crime. The designation of genocide also has actual implications for Christians and other minorities being persecuted by ISIS as it will put pressure on the United Nations Security Council to also issue a genocide resolution which will encourage countries to take action to stop the genocide.

Protestors march against violence in Plateau state, Nigeria.  (Sabinews.com) By Abiodun Kuforiji Nkwocha - Posted at Morning Star News : Voice of the predominantly Christian, ethnic Berom cries out for justice. (Morning Star News) – What would you say if I told you that between last year and this year an estimated 11,000 people have been killed in Plateau state, mainly in Berom communities? What if I told you that over 40 villages have been sacked and some wiped out completely in Berom communities alone? If you were Nigerian you would try to correct me and say that I am probably talking about the North East and not the North Central. You would be wrong. What if I told you that 11,000 is a conservative number? Read more here...
