2011 Ends on a Sour Note… Is Hamas Really a Mean-Minded Christmas Scrooge*?

by Stuart Littlewood January 4, 2012

In the past Hamas has shown great respect for the Christian tradition of Christmas and, I hear, Hamas officials in Bethlehem used to dress up as Santa Claus to distribute gifts to Christian children. So the question remains: has Hamas really become such a Scrooge* as to torpedo Christmas with a tree ban?

Happy Christmas, O prisoners of the Little Town of Bethlehem

by Stuart Littlewood December 24, 2011

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

The Israeli Jewish War on Islam in Palestine

by Khalid Amayreh December 24, 2011

As Israeli Jewish terrorist attacks on mosques in occupied Palestine are assuming a phenomenal frequency. Indeed, with the Israeli government and security establishment doing next to nothing to put an end to this wanton and unprovoked terror, a huge fire is being started in the region.

Britain may be a Christian country but its government marches to the beat of another drum

by Stuart Littlewood December 23, 2011

Stuart Littlewood questions the ethics of British politicians and church leaders who profess a commitment to Christian values but look the other way, actively support or are content to be identified with Israel while it commits crimes against the people of Palestine – Christians and Muslims.

Muslims Bombed Norway! Where’s the Apology?

by Mohamed Khodr July 25, 2011

I doubt the Post will apologize for its knee-jerk attack against Muslims or ever change its ways to bring peace in the Holy Land despite its important to U.S. interests.

Something Rotten This Way Comes

by Philip Giraldi June 24, 2011

There were two stories last week that illustrate just how bad the situation has become in the wake of the virtual capitulation by President Barack Obama during Netanyahu’s triumphal May visit to Washington, the first time in recorded history that a small nation with less than eight million citizens has subjugated a much larger country with a population of more than 310 million.

Archbishop of Canterbury reprimanded by angry Holy Land Christians

by Stuart Littlewood June 22, 2011

Stuart Littlewood views Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams’s failure to acknowledge the role played by Israel’s occupation in the haemorrhaging of Christian populations from the Holy Land and recalls previous occasions where the archbishop behaved as if he were “a closet Zionist like so many other so-called Christians”.

Pat Robertson: Muslims are the New Nazis

by SR Editor June 3, 2011

Pat Robertson once again spoke out against American Muslims, singling out the construction of mosques and the purported threat of creeping Sharia law. Robertson likened critics of Muslims to opponents of Nazis and rejected claims that his opposition to rights for Muslims is bigotry, asking, “I wonder what were people who opposed the Nazis, were they bigots?”

Israel Again and Again Slaps a Cowardly America

by Mohamed Khodr June 1, 2011

And so continues the illegal occupations of America and Palestine. No, America, you are not the land of the free, home of the brave. You are not the greatest nation on earth. You are not the superpower you proclaim. You are not the beacon of freedom, equality, and liberty to all. You are not the Promised Land. You are not the democracy of the First Amendment where there is Freedom of Speech, of the Press, of Religion, of freedom to petition and assemble. Your President is not the leader of the free world. You do not have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Thus, what will history record of whom and what you are?

No such thing as justice in the Holy Land, Palestinian Church leaders tell the Irish

by Stuart Littlewood December 16, 2010

Archbishop Theodosius Hanna (Greek Orthodox Church), Monsignor Manuel Musallam (Latin Catholic) and Mr Constantine Dabbagh (Executive Director of the Middle East Council of Churches) are courageous human rights defenders and spiritual leaders from Palestine. They have just completed a tour of Ireland to raise awareness of the situation in their homeland under Israeli military occupation and the plight of the dwindling Christian community there.

And what will Santa bring the kiddies of Gaza?

by Stuart Littlewood December 9, 2010

So what sort of Christmas is in store for their little ones this year while the criminals who inflicted such savagery and torment, and continue to deny them their human rights, have their snouts in the Yuletide trough and enjoy a warm bed?
The UN says that imports are only at 36 per cent of pre-siege levels, thanks to Cameron’s friends, and exports are still not allowed (except a few strawberries), so the hardship must still be unimaginable.

“GOD-TV” evangelical Christian channel funds Israeli ethnic cleansing

by SR Editor December 4, 2010

Despite the fact that it was the seventh demolition since last July, this time the destruction of the Bedouin village of Al-Arakib in the Israeli Negev was different. The demolition was different because this time Christian evangelists from the United States and England were involved. GOD-TV justifies this contribution by citing the book of Isaiah.

How to anger the pro-Israel lobby

by Stuart Littlewood November 14, 2010

To their eternal shame, Western churchmen seem to care little about the plight of their brothers and sisters in the Holy Land or the fate of the holy places where Christianity was born.

There are, of course, honourable exceptions. One such is the Archbishop of Wales, the Most Reverend Dr Barry Morgan, whose church has provided the Gazans with a mobile dental unit. Whereupon Mr McIlwaine launched into the familiar anti-Gaza, anti-Hamas rant we’re used to hearing from the pro-Israel lobby.
