Child-killing Israel is trying to sow the flames of sectarian strife.

Child-killing, criminal Israel is attempting to sow the flames of sectarianism by cheaply presenting itself as the "protector of the homeland" in Arab countries, portraying itself as the savior from adversity, the faithful guardian of pluralism from the clutches of "fundamentalist terrorism." It presents itself, with undisguised vileness, as the champion of the rights of minorities like the Druze, using them to achieve its aims under the guise of democratization and rights—the same rights it has repeatedly violated, toppling in Gaza.

Israel also stupidly spreads propaganda that it discriminates against Christians, in order to clear its name with the colonial West and Trump's Christian Zionist entourage. At the same time, it is working hard and vilely to create a borderline extension of a hybrid sectarianism (which I will not name so as not to give it undeserved exposure), claiming to be a Christian group, holding opposites in its hands: the cross of Christ, the symbol of our redemption, and the Israeli flag, the symbol of darkness, tyranny, and the occupation that violates every inch of our Palestine, spreading the propaganda that these two opposites are the same. We shout in the face of "Israel" and the handful of charlatans who have absolutely no connection to our Eastern Christianity, except that they are parasitic appendages, feeding off the assistance of the occupation. They only represent themselves.

All the croaking about Israel's cheap rhetoric is futile and pointless. No matter how much Zionist propaganda tries to promote itself as a whitewash amid its bloodshed, and soften its image for acceptable marketing reasons, we are fully aware of its true nature: a colonial settlement entity, a state that implements an apartheid system par excellence, manipulating the interpretation of verses from the Bible, and politicizing them according to its interests for the purpose of stealing land and expelling Palestinians, Muslims and Christians alike.

The Palestinian Arab Christian presence is an integral part of Palestine, and has been steadfast on the land for thousands of years. It has contributed, continues to contribute, and will always remain a national voice.

As for the recent Israeli occupation targeting of the Holy Family Church in Gaza, and the subsequent apology and boasting about the mistakes, this is not the first bombing of its kind. It is nothing but "stupidity," as Dr. Reverend Munther Ishaq commented. It is a stupor we absolutely do not buy.

Our message is that we will remain a thorn in the side of the occupation, always speaking with our Arab and national identity, which belongs wholeheartedly to our people, no matter how much the colonizer expresses sectarian and malicious sympathy for the bombing of a church or the martyrdom of Palestinians—even if they were Christians—or the attack and destruction by settlers of a Palestinian village—even if its inhabitants were Christians. Perhaps it would be more beneficial for the Zionist Mike Huckabee, who promotes the term "Judea and Samaria" instead of the West Bank, to stop supplying American weapons to an army that specializes in bombing both churches and mosques, and which has killed 60,000 Gazans with Ankle-Sam ammunition in the ongoing crime of genocide. Or, to buy goodwill, he should put an end to the engineered famine directly, or stop arming the settlers who attacked the village of Taybeh with USA-made weapons, instead of feigning solidarity and the charade of "opening a serious Israeli investigation," buying time to commit more crimes.

We look forward, O civilized and cultured one, to holding the occupation accountable for all its crimes. Is your Zionist Christianity sufficient for that?
