Holy Land: Persecution of Christians Worsens

Avvenire.it, the newspaper of the Italian bishops, known for spreading homosexual propaganda, writes about the growing persecution of Christians in the Holy Land.

Violence against Christians has been a problem for years, but since 2023 the situation has deteriorated, Avvenire.it quotes Federica Sasso of the "Rossing Centre for Education and Dialogue" in Jerusalem.

Last year there were seven incidents of physical violence against clerics or ordinary Christian worshippers, almost all in Jerusalem, 7 cases of verbal harassment and about 30 cases of spitting against Christian clerics.

Most of the perpetrators are young "religious" Jewish men who espouse nationalism and racism.

On 1 January, graves in an Anglican cemetery in Jerusalem were desecrated.

According to Federica Sasso, the more than 90 incidents monitored by the Centre "are just the tip of the iceberg of a much larger phenomenon". The Christian Armenians in the Old City and the Polish monastery in Jerusalem were particularly affected.
