Dead: Tony Palmer, the Protestant preacher who enjoyed a privileged relationship with Pope Francis, has died after a motorcycle accident in the U.K. Palmer was a – quotation marks - bishop in a group called the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches. He gained notoriety this January after Pope Francis received him for a long private meeting and suggested that Palmer would record him on his iPhone for a video message for some Prosperity Gospel Conference. Palmer died on Sunday after hours of surgery.
Not Acceptable: On Vatican Radio the Apostolic Nuncio in Tel Aviv, archbishop Giuseppe Lazzarotto, has strongly criticized the Israeli military action against Gaza, a territory, Israel has kept under blockade and occupation for decades. Quote: “The situation really becomes tragic. There is a loss of human lives that is not acceptable.” So far Israel has killed more than 500 people, most of them civilians and children.

But sense you are more concerned with what is not "of this world" (I am also!) lets focus on the evils of Muhammad, and his occult which brings billions to hell. There is NO salvation in Islam. And the statistics show it is growing at an alarming rate. There is violence on both side, but worse on the side of Muslims.

Where do we see leaders of countries condemning the persecution of Christians? The Kenyan in the White House could care less. The press and media are hardly covering these atrocities. The Jews could care less, .. In the mean time...Catholic churches are being torn down or sold (even to Muslims). And mosques continue to sprout up everywhere in an alarming rate.

The US emerged as what it is now from WW2. Europe needed our help. Yes Japan attached us but we could have just fought them and left the Nazis to have Europe. Wasn't Italy on Hitlers side also, and much of the small northern countries neutral? Lol, its all our fault here in the states but when the enemy knocks on your door you cry for help Europe. Won't be long now until the Muslims have breeded you out. The true evil is Islam. It breeds violence and submission to Satan/Allah.

It is and remains a fact that the Chaldean Catholic Patriarch Louis Raphael I Sako of Baghdad has said: "The Americans have been here and they made a lot of mistakes. The current situation is their fault. Why replace a regime with something even worse? This is what happened after 2003." (www.zenit.org/…/patriarch-sako-…)

I do not think that it is historically fair that one distinguishes between Chaimberlain and Churchill as they both were Primie Mininister. Indeed, no American vote was involved. The assertion is foolish. Yours too. The Americans could have used sufficient power to protect citizens in Iraq. That they did not do so. The "Americans", that is another class term which, well, includes me and millions of Americans that had other opinions. It is the fallacy of the misplaced concreteness, mixing the class with its elements. Obama is distinct from all other presidents, except Carter. And Carter let the Shaw fall and we got the "democrat" (as called in the American MSM) Khomenei, the Shia reevolution and the erection of THE state number one that exports terror and, indeed, the Iraq/Iran war >> Iraq/American war.

Let us reflect. Way back before WW II the Republicans in Congress, isolationists, refused to grant Pres. Roosevelt military draft powers and more military. Japan attacked America and destroyed the then main weapon, the battleships, followed 4 days later by a declaration of war by Hitler against that weak nation with "negroes". (Indeed, the non-interventionist Republicans wanted no war ir war-like reaction after the 1937 Nanking massacre of at least 200,000 Chinese by the Japanese army.) The Americans did not elect Gen. Tojo, but they were attacked by him. American electral possiblities are irrelevant

The decisions of politicians is exactly what distinguishes them. The decisions of Bush 1 and 2 to support the Kurds kept them free from Sadam and, indeed, possibly more gas attacks. Had the Americans kept totally out, Sadam would be there merrily killing Kurds. There is no good choice. Bush 1 decided to push Saddam back and Bush 2 to replace him. Both decisions have plus and minus points.

Finally, it is not the fault of the Americans that the Germans elected Hitler. But, Hitler did declare war against Americing. Why this comment? Your remark about the Iraqi people is irrelevant. Did the Iraqi people including Christians keep Sedam from the use gas against the Iranians - a good million died. But, then many American leaders thought Saddam to be the lesser of two evils. There are often no black/white choices. I do not blame either the Japanese nor German people for starting WW II, rather their leaders. Different leaders (e.g., Ad. Yamamoto in Japan), no war. But, once the war is on, the people of Japan and Germany are part of the war--for good or bad.
Abramo
I don't think that it helps to introduce an (artificial) distinction between "Obama" and the USA. Obama is the legitimate president of the United States. The Christians have been killed or expelled because the Americans have replaced the Sadam government with something even worse. It is not the fault of the Iraqi Christians that the Americans elected Obama as their president.

The problem in Iraq now is the failure, if not refusal, of Obama to have negotiated the leaving of a residual US military in force in Iraq (the demand of his generals) which would have controlled the Shia gov.

The problem in Iraq now is the failure, if not refusal, of Obama to have negotiated the leaving of a residual US military in force in Iraq (the demand of his generals) which would have controlled the Shia gov. This is a typical Obama move. The invasion by Bush was short and successful. There was, however, no planning for occupation -- impossible with the small 100,000+ attack force. Bush & Co did not think the matter out. Mistakes that could have been avoided. The Americans had no trouble in Germany after WW II because they occupied the place at first with 1 miilion soldiers. That is no longer possible. The Gulf battle of Bush 1 liberated Arab and Kurd lands from Saddam, but was not completed with occupation -- perhaps a smart move by the elderly Bush. You are, perhaps, unaware of the developping "isolationism" in America. Although McCarthur was willing to take N. Korea, Truman blocked him. Since Korea American doctrine has not be to win a war, just fight to a stand still and negotiate >> led to some partial failures and total failure in Vietnam. This refusal to fight to win has evolved into limited actions (e.g., the Obama "liberation" of Lybia -- done without Congressional approval) and, I predict that under Obama the Euopeans will find themselves left to go it alone. What happens in Europe should Iran with atomic power close down the straights in, say, a decade ? What European carriers and miltary units will open the straights? What if an atomic Iran goes after Sunni states like Saudi Arabia? (Aside: I would force Europeans to carry their share, were I President.)

I do not disagree with you regarding serious errors made in Iraq >> it still might turn out o.k., though I think Obama will exercise little or no American "violence" there and the Caliphate will become a danger for Europe and the US. Obama will not defend endangered Christians as he tends to see Muslim violence as just the reaction of economic oppression in third world parties dressed up as religious. (Were I President, ISIS would have been decimated with bombs -- but then my military thinking is of the WW II type.) Russia will spend 20% of the GDP for a military build up and China is rushing ahead. Meanwhile Obama will reduce the American Navy to fewer ships than were available before WW II, more advanced, but unable to enter many hot spots. I repeat. The American Army is receiving the same treatment. Since Obama has been stingy on use of military (really just Lybia as a debacle), is, I ask you, the world safer than 5+ years ago or at the time of Reagan/Bush 1? Will Russia decide to re-integrate the Baltic states? If Russia cuts off oil to Europe, from where will Europe get it?

In my judgment (and not in mine alone), since WW II the world--Europe--has lived in a Pax Americana, one now eroding rrapidly away. As the Pax Romana disappeared, Europe fell into centuries of war. Indeed, with out the Pax Romana I do not see how St. Paul could have gotten about. 300 years later and Germanic or Asiatic tribes might have killed him, heck,,Rome was sacked. I in no way am a-critical of the Amercan use of its dominat military power. Without it, however, we would be speakiing Soviet talk now. Asia would be speaking Mao talk. Because of the defensive burden shouldered by America (and the deaths of American men and women concern me greatly) I am reluctant to reduce such use to the derogatory term of "violence". I find that unacceptable.

@Abramo, you speak of "violence". Do you mean the Soviet and Chinese supplied N. Vietnamese? You mean the 1967 planned attack upon Israel by Nasser and other Arab nations. Do you mean the destruction of Saddam (or do you prefer his rule so as to be able to gas more Kurds -- Kurds I know thank the US)? Do you mean the massive attack of North Korea on South Korea after WW II? Do you mean the Maoist revolution and the appartently ensuant 90 million deaths? Do you mean Cuba and the flight of millions of Cubans to the US. Do you mean the French vs Algeria war? Do you mean the violence of radical Muslims in North Africa? What do you mean? What did other countries do?

After WW II the USA alone was able to refinance Europe (Marshall Plan), and Germany became capitalististic (at the direction of the US). All European nations have been able to build up their welfare states because America rendered defense protection. (If I ran things, Europe alone would owe $100,000,000 for services rendered --and that would be cheap). Do you mean that the US has kept Taiwan afloat? Do you mean that the USA took over the defense of Japan after WW II as a rearmed Japan would have frightened Asia? (I note American defense protection made it possible for Japan to re-industrialize itself, become a rich nation and all as a democcray --whose Constitution was written under the direction of General McCarthu and his occupational rule (the Japanese did not want to let women vote, McCarthur forced it upon them). What do you mean?

Finally,, Mr. Abramo, hear well!!! The number of American soldiers who died making it possible for Europe not to be overcome by Soviet expansionism and the number of Japanese and Taiwanese and other Asian who have been protected by the American military have been and are a blessing for you!!! Without them, you would be singing a different ideological tune. Where America has failed tyranny arises, e.g., not liberating N. Koreal or surrendering So. Vietnam to the North by the Democratic Party (by 1972 the North was fully smashed --and then Nixon and Watergate and betrayal of the So. Vietnam gov. >>> "boat people".

"Violence" irritates, no, infuriates me when I think of the men and women of America NOW dead making a large part of the world a safer place for peaceful development. And should Iran get the A-bomb, whose carriers will protect Europe? That term is a put down of the lives lost. You might as well say American and Britain were for responsible for the "violence" that destroyed Nazi Germany. No, America and the British "liberated" Germany (and so designates German tv the american led war against Nazis). And, despite problems and failures, Amrican might has worked positively for the world. Alas, Obama is a "anti-military" president. Compare the state of the world at the end of Bush's presidencey and the state today. We all might get a visit from ISIS and, in that event, I expect you first to cry for American defense and then to curse America for using "violence".

I do not understand: Gloria.tv reports the abuse , tyranncal treatment and repression of Christians by "Islamic militants" and then I hear the sad-sack supposed abuse of "the" Palestinians under Hamas dictatorship (and Hamas declared everyone to be a "civilian"). Hamas and is recognized internationally as a terror organization and has sworn to end Israel and kill Jews) in Gaza is an Islamic militant offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood (and we know what the MB tried to do in Egypt and is doing now to Coptic Christians). Beyond the 14 centuries of hate for Jews in Islamic teaching, based on the Koran and the Hadiths, etc., the Muffti of Jerusalem, both a so-called Palestinian Arab (there were only Arabs along the coast until the Arabs in the area now called "Israel" refused the UN 1947 partition and their leaders started calling themselves "Palestinians" (sic)) and a MB member spent years in Nazi Germany, met Hitler and was a friend of Himmler, supplied the Nazi with a division of Muslims and, after escaping post-WW II Nurnberg-type trials, made it back to Jerusalem and appointed his nephew Arafat (THE terrorist) head of the PLO (which has two divisions of Hamas and Fatah). The Nazis had a great direct influence upon "Islamic" Islam, inculcating an extra dose of Jew-hatews.I can document this with studies!!!

In WW II, in order to rid Germany of Nazi tyranny the Allies demanded from the "Germans", viz., "German people" an "unconditional surrender". The US/British bombing of the infrastructure of Nazi Germany cost the death of 500,000 civilians (and German tv calls today the Allied war against Germany a war of "liberation", i.e.,of Germany from the Nazi leadership). When the US Army approached Pforzheim (down the Rhine), the existence of Wehrmacht troops were noted. To avoid a deadly house-to-house battle (see what that meant in Stalingrad for the Russian civilians, not to speak for the contending armies) the Allies called in a 3 hour bombing and, well, thereafter 19,000 deaths (mostly civilian) and NO resistance by the military. Many German cities, i.e., civilian leaders, started asking the Wehrmacht not to defend them as that meant destruction by the Americans or British >> less dead civilians. What is going on in the Hamas dictatorship of Gaza?

Years ago the Israelis were shamed into letting cement enter Gaza. No cement, no living quaters for the civilians, that was the meme. That cement was diverted by Hamas, the dictatorial power over the people, into the tunnel system that Israeli bombs cannot destroy, i.e., demolition teams must do that AFTER conquering the relevant territory. Israel, alas, is not demanding "unconditional surrender" by Hamas, rather seeking to damage Hamas' military infrastructure (which also means rockets underground in cement tunnels, in mosques, near homes, denying fleeing to civilians, etc.). If Israel were right now treating "the Palestinians" (under control of Islamic militants) as the Americans treated "the Germans" (under control of Nazi militants) and if Pforzheim is used as a point of comparison, the so-called death of 500 civilians (not independently confirmed and Hamas "soldiers" count as civilians) would be way beyond 19,000. "Hurrah!", the West said at that time. In glaring contrast to the Allies, the Israelis are acting with restraint!!! The Israelis are attempting to avoid civilian casualties (which the Hamas leaders want as propaganda for fools worldwide, including the Vatican). In the last 3 to 4 days "the Palestinians" shot over 1600 rockets into Israel just as "the Germans" dropped thousand of bombs on Poland in the 1939 invasion. These rockets are not well aimed and could kill many thousands upon thousands of Israeli Jews and Israeli Arabs (the only "free" Arabs in Arabland). It is luck, not Hamas intention, that thousands upon thousands of Israelis have not been killed. De facto Hamas has led "the Palestinians" into a war of aggression against Israel as did the Nazi lead "the Germans" into a war of aggression against Poland. And both leaderships are genocidial towards Jews. Who said history does not repeat itself?

@Abramo, please offer documentation for your thesis that 99% of violence in the world is due to the United States. I thought that Christians are being persecuted mostly by Muslims. Are Muslims paid agents of the US? Is Hamas a US gov. agency? Was the downed passenger plane over the Ukraine shot down by Americans? What you have written, unless hghly documented, is not just calumny, but an expression of hate -- and so I experience it.
