From The Middle East Monitor, "Occupied Jerusalem: Israeli official asks priest to hide crucifix on visit to Western Wall": An official at occupied Jerusalem's Western Wall asked a German Christian priest on Wednesday to hide his crucifix during a visit to the site, the Times of Israel has reported. Nikodemus Schnabel was accompanying Germany's Federal Education Minister at the time.Schnabel told Israel's i24NEWS that he views the incident as "a minor thing" but what he finds more problematic is that he has had Jews in Israel spit on him and attack him verbally and physically for being a Christian. Christian leaders in the Holy Land said earlier this year that they are being viciously persecuted, attacked, spat on and abused in Israel under Benjamin Netanyahu's far-right regime and authorities are doing little to nothing to hold their abusers to account.
In March, two influential members of Israel's Knesset introduced a bill to outlaw teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Israel and sentence violators to prison. Despite Israel's escalating human rights abuses and relentless attacks on Christians, our US Congress earlier this week welcomed Israeli President Isaac Herzog with open arms and fought among themselves over who could most slavishly show their allegiance to his foreign country.
