Christian crisis

Street performers

The trolling is restarting ... yesterday 202 and today 120. It's been the usual 20+ the last months since the last attack. Must be my content the past days that's drawing attention.

Anyway there's an article in a local newspaper saying the International Christian Embassy - a zionist evangelical "church" - is facing problems getting visas for its workers, because the hardline govt which this "church" supports, has turned and bitten the hand that feeds it. Evangelical zionist "churches" here are realising that jews have seen beneath their veneer of pro-zionism to a hidden agenda to convert the jews as the ultimate aim. All the money they donate to the State is not free nor without strings attached. The newspaper heading for this article was "christian exodus."

Meanwhile 2 days back the Orthodox Churches could not celebrate the feast of the Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor for the 2nd year running because the govt did not grant permission for such a huge gathering. Tens of thousands of pilgrims who went up the hill had to come back down with no prayers or liturgies. Well the orthodox churches will have to fight this battle out for themselves. I'm just glad we don't share the same calendar so our feast days fall on different dates and because our community is very small, we can celebrate our feasts without restrictions. The Tourism Ministry was aghast by this and warned that christians will stop coming to Israel.

And talking about feasts, the summer events in the streets at night are numerous and fun. There're street performers, musicians and singing bands at many street corners. Concerts take place at Sultan's Pool ... and there's the weekend events at New Gate. Too bad my health is impeding me from joining any of it. It's not just the walk to those venues with my swollen feet; it's also losing my memory and losing my way. This summer is sad ... I'm mostly homebound.
