🇵🇸🇮🇱 The apartheid regime’s Christmas propaganda and oppression of Palestinian Christians
— "As people around the world are celebrating Christmas, occupied Palestine, the birthplace of Christianity, remains under brutal Israeli apartheid. Meanwhile, the Israeli regime targets Western Christians with Zionist propaganda.
The Israeli propaganda apparatus “Hasbara” has long invested large amounts of money and significant PR efforts in legitimizing the Zionist settler-colony in the eyes of its international audiences. In portraying the colony as a democracy with alleged human rights and co-existence between various religions, the Israeli regime has attempted to whitewash its genocidal oppression of Palestinians in the eyes of the West. The propaganda attempts have been successful to a large degree, as many Christians in the West either ignore the Palestinian plight, or provide outright support to the apartheid regime."

🇷🇺🇪🇬 Exarch of Africa: The transition of 102 priests to ROC is just the start
— "The head of the Patriarchal Exarchate of the Russian Orthodox Church in Africa, Metropolitan Leonid, said that the transfer of 102 priests of the Alexandrian Church under the omophorion of the Moscow Patriarch is only the beginning, RIA Novosti reports.
According to Vladyka Leonid, he is planning an archpastoral visit to Africa, but now visiting a number of countries is impossible due to epidemiological restrictions. “Nevertheless, as the structure of the Exarchate is unfolding, human resources will be required, so the personnel issue is one of the top priorities today,” he stressed.
The exarchate in Africa is “an absolutely new powerful structure of a continental magnitude, which calls for scrupulous, detailed study and elaboration,” Vladyka said."

Dan Andrews told the world that Novak Djokovic would not play in the Australian open unless he's injected with the experimental covid jab.
Novak held the line and refused.
Today he was given permission by Australian officials to play without the jab.
