☦️ Israel has closed the Church of the Holy Sepulchre indefinitely for the first time in the history of Christianity.

Holy Week and Easter services will be prohibited. Sunday masses and liturgies cancelled. A church that should be packed with hundreds of thousands these coming weeks is being forcibly shut and silenced.

Israel cites it is for ‘security concerns’ while Jewish Israelis are allowed to celebrate in mass gatherings. Alongside the forced closure of Al-Aqsa mosque, reports cite priests aggressively being turned away to perform daily services.

Throughout history, wars, tensions, or even the pandemic limited access to the sanctuary, but they had never prevented liturgical celebrations in this central place of Christian faith indefinitely. Christians must not remain silent.

You may already have seen this. Most entertaining. Note well the astonishing coincidence of simulation before the off. Not only that, but the simulation is so like the “real thing” that the most reasonable assumption is that this too is a simulation.

Ps: I caution against bumming any monkeys. More appropriate jokes are welcome because it’s harder to be terrified when you’re laughing.

“The satanic bargain our civilisation has been built upon is that we can inhabit an eternal summer, that the days will be forever long, the harvests rich, and the honey sweet. All it has cost us is our land, our future, and our souls. The very idea that we should lower expectations, make do, and retreat to restore our energy is anathema.”

Here is a dubbed in English version of the appeal hearing in Amsterdam last Monday, March 9th 2026, at which attorney Peter Stassen lays out his reasons why the expert witnesses should be heard in court in the main proceedings scheduled (I think) for October of this year.

Please remember that the appeal is a purely procedural matter. It’s not about the culpability or otherwise of the defendants.

Also, a reminder of why the attorney chose to bring a civil suit against multiple individuals and not, for example, make allegations of criminal conduct & against corporations.

The Netherlands, unusually, allows tort (civil liability) cases to be brought against individuals. If found guilty, the court can award financial compensation to the plaintiffs. This is about establishing what has happened, not about jailing, for example, the guilty parties. The most propitious path to that objective is what has been selected.

Our testimony is definitely going to feature in the substantive proceedings. Evidence has been filed and accepted by the court already, in writing and on video. The only question is whether we are to be permitted to give that evidence in person in the court and to face cross examination by the defence. This is obviously what we want to be able to do.

Imagine if such proceedings were to be recorded or even live-streamed? I understand it is a public process in that there were people in the public gallery. At one point, we hear them laugh, loudly, when the counsel for one of the defendants rather limply reaffirmed that “The vaccines were safe and effective”. The judge crossly reproved them, suggesting they be quiet or to go and laugh elsewhere, which is priceless.
