In the fast paced 24/7 media cycle, it is possible to get a bit of info and believe it is the complete account. We read it, we share it.
Sometimes, it may be the full story, and at other times it may turn out to be just a part of what happened. Unless we dig deeper, we may not know the truth.
Two “incidents” to explain the above.
1/
Last month in Ireland there were some stabbings that took place in Dublin. The story made out by the leftie media was about a Deliveroo driver who was passing by on his bike and saw the attacker. He rushed in to save the victim. According to the media, the driver, Caio Benicio, was a hero. The reason for that was not only because he helped to save but because he is a migrant (Brazilian) who rushed in while the Irish stood by and watched.
It is difficult to find the real story but I came across a few twitter posts where it seems that though Caio did went to help there were others (Irishmen) before him. One lady posted that her husband was the first, but no one was talking about him.
Someone set up a GoFundMe for this hero Caio and it raised nearly €370,000 (around US$407,900) from the public.
Caio Benicio has gone home to Brazil, this month, to celebrate Christmas with his family. If you look at the photo of his family, would you wonder why he has left them to work as a food delivery driver in Ireland?

This is an amusing tale from Twitter. Took place last month.
A poster (Jeff Cassman) on twitter responded to someone posting about the early Christmas decorations they’ve put up.
He was joking and those who got it, played along. But some picked out one of his responses, and reacted or carried it off onto other threads and raged about it.

These past 10+ weeks have been overwhelming with all the news related to the conflict. I thought I’d take a break from this Gaza war for these few days around Christmas.
I was going to post a comment, yesterday, with the LBC clip from the deputy mayor of Jerusalem. But I decided to postpone it and will get to it this coming week.
While Christians in the Holy Land cancel Christmas celebrations for real reasons, those in the West who have been trying to cancel Christmas, for decades, don’t mind pretending that they care about Palestine.

‘Anti-Christian’: MP’s Qantas rant
Bob Katter has accused Qantas of being anti-Christian after claiming the national air carrier snubbed traditional Christmas carols inside of one of its prestigious business class lounges.
In a written complaint against the airline, the independent MP said he was angered to hear no holiday music with faith-based messages while sitting in a Qantas Club during a flight delay.
“I noticed that throughout the two hours I was there, they were playing ‘Xmas’ music,” Mr Katter said.
“Two hours of the most un-Christmassy music I’ve ever heard.
“Over 80 per cent of Australia’s population are generational Australians, and they were brought up on Christmas Carols.
“It would seem then, that Qantas is anti-Christian.”

Christmas, the Conflict, and Palestinian Christians
1/
I wanted to take a break, for a few days, from posting about the Gaza conflict. So some of the links are from the last week.
We have posted here several comments, links, clips related to Christians in Gaza and Israel. I have also commented on how many so-called Conservative blogs/sites that are also Christian are in full support of Israel and its actions.
The only democracy in the Middle East.
Israel has the right to defend itself.
Israel should be supported.
Hamas is a terrorist group.
Anyone who is calling for a cease-fire is morally bankrupt**.
I wonder whether all these Christians/conservatives/others are supporting Israel because their knowledge of the facts is limited?
OR
knowing most of the facts, they choose to blink and still support Israel?
Maybe they follow the crowds, assuming that the crowd is right?

Since this conflict began in October, Christians have been wounded and killed. The Israeli airstrike hit the Greek Orthodox church compound in Gaza City on Oct. 19 and killed several people sheltering in the church. One family lost 6 members, including a baby.
After that, there have been other deaths. Add to that the sniper attack on 17 December. A small population of 1000 Christians has been further reduced by 3% according to Rev Mitri Raheb.
In the Democracy Now interview he says that if a synagogue had been bombed in a western nation there would be an outcry and condemnation, especially from Christian leaders. Yet, this targetting of churches when there is such a small Christian population and the Israeli authorities have the identification of every church member because they are such a small community, would be hard to understand.
Almost every day, the Australian has some Gaza conflict front page story (which is of course, pro-Israel) but I must have missed the one about the attack on the churches and the Christians who have being living in fear of being killed in airstrikes and bombing raids. Today, there is one about the fear of Jews living in Australia due to anti-semitism.

Christian friends around the world.
For decades, Christians in the Israel-Gaza region have been persecuted. Christians have been spat on, especially when they are wearing or carrying a cross, including nuns, priests, bishops. (Links to this have been posted in the past three months, on this blog.)
As Christians we are called to forgive those who harm or persecute us. But we are not supposed to pretend that it has not happened. Especially to others who are being persecuted.
I have singled out the persecution and killing of Christians in this section, today, because this group has been mostly ignored by the mainstream media. There are some alternative media sites that have covered this topic.
This is the Christmas season. I was deeply aware on Christmas day that I was here in Australia able to celebrate the birth of Christ and yet, in Bethlehem, the place where Christ was born, the celebrations would have been muted and the streets deserted.
On the conflict in Gaza, as I have said repeatedly, I am concerned for ALL innocent civilians. There is a difference between the innocent and the terrorists. The same around the world – innocent civilians going about their lives should not face threats, intimidation or harm.
Do people in the western world really want to know the truth?
Or does it feel really good to choose a side and blindly support it pretending that the selected side is justified?

Palestinian Christian Pastor Slams Western Silence on Genocide in Gaza
Democracy Now!
1.9M subscribers
Through the Christmas holiday, Israel continued its relentless bombardment and siege of the Gaza Strip that has seen over 20,000 Palestinians killed. In the West Bank, we speak with Reverend Munther Isaac, pastor at the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bethlehem, which canceled Christmas festivities in the storied birthplace of Jesus to mourn the deaths in Gaza and received worldwide attention for their nativity scene depicting the baby Jesus surrounded by rubble. “Christianity started here and never ceased to exist here,” says Isaac. “This is what Christmas is in Palestine: displaced families, destroyed homes and children under the rubble.”

I used to quickly skim through his blog for the articles only. But this year he has gone the way of most conservative blogs on two major topics.
I have a fairly strong anti-Islam take. I have posted many, many comments and will continue to do so. I even wrote a post on that subject.
But what is happening in Palestine (excluding their “activist supporters” around the world) is a different matter – if one takes the trouble to dig up the truth.
I don’t know what he means.

My views began changing following Trump’s run for the Presidency in 2015. Then there was the ‘pandemic’ and the compulsory vaccine which I refused leading to all the punishments by the state. The Ukraine war – which I understood from the beginning was another US proxy war and saw straight through the propaganda. WEF. America’s total capture by Zionists.
When I view ‘conservative’ sites or channels they have stayed EXACTLY the same. Maybe that is the nature of conservatives.
