As Christians are massacred in Nigeria, and their children are stolen in Pakistan, the Church of England obsesses over demonising Israel
by David Collier
But this raises even more serious questions: why does the BBC place the story of an Israeli soldier putting a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary on its front pages, run several related articles looking at the incident from various angles, and yet fail to tell its audiences about the massacre of Christians in Nigeria, or about the thousands of Christian girls abducted in Pakistan?
Which story is more important for Christians to learn about today?
The BBC is not alone. Most mainstream news outlets in the UK and US ran the stories about Israel – almost none carry updates on the global persecution of Christians.
The Orchestrated Blindness of British Christians
Which brings us back to the Church. If western media is not vocalising the perseuction of Christians and bringing it to the attention of the British public, then surely the Church is speaking out for them.
Except it is not.
Christian Aid (CA), has not mentioned either Pakistan or Nigeria on its X account for over three years – but during that time there have been 100s of posts on the Palestinians. CA’s Facebook page is no better. As Christians are being slaughtered in over a dozen countries, the only recent political post I could find was promoting the “Time to Act” campaign – calling for sanctions against Israel.
Take a look at the website for the Archbishop of York. The site has nothing to say about any of the recent atrocities committed against Christian communities. Yet it also promotes the same “Time to Act” campaign calling for sanctions against Israel.
And as I write this it is getting even worse.
The Antisemitic Motion at The Synod
The General Synod is the Church of England’s national governing body. It is the closest thing the Church has to a parliament. And it is currently gathering for five days of debate and decision-making.
The agenda of the meeting is made public and there is only one current international issue being discussed – “Kairos Palestine.” The motion is even listed first on the Church of England website:
The motion is not simply about supporting Palestinian Christians. It explicitly asks Synod to engage with *Kairos Palestine II*, a document that accuses Israel of genocide, apartheid, colonialism, ethnic cleansing, Jewish supremacy and racism. Kairos II portrays Jewish self-determination as a corrupt and oppressive ideology. It calls on churches to isolate Israel through boycotts and sanctions and urges them to distance themselves from “Zionist” voices. The Diocese of Carlisle sponsored the motion.
Describing the very existence of Israel as a racist endeavour and denying the Jewish people the right to self-determination are clear breaches of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Yet *Kairos Palestine II* does not merely stray into this territory, it anticipates the objection. The document dismisses concerns about antisemitism as a “misuse” of the term designed to protect “Zionist interests”.
This creates an extraordinary moral loophole. Israel can be accused of virtually every evil imaginable, Zionism can be condemned as a racist moral corruption, and any suggestion that such rhetoric may be antisemitic is ruled out in advance. The accusation is made untouchable because the defence itself is declared illegitimate. In effect, the document grants itself permission to make the most outrageous allegations possible while pre-emptively discrediting anyone who questions them.
Remarkably, this motion comes from a Church that formally adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism “without qualification or exemption“, yet is now inviting Synod to engage with a document that falls squarely into territory that IHRA was designed to identify and challenge.
Sir Ephraim Mirvis, the Chief Rabbi, stated that the document “harms peace”, is “full of falsehoods” and risks “undermining decades of careful relationship-building.” I would argue he is being generous and reserved in his criticisms.
Az az elképesztő, hogy ez a bűnözőmentalitás köszön vissza MINDEN KURVA KITARTOTTBÓL. Úgy csinál mimtha nem értené hogy miért rossz/etikátlan/törvénytelen amit csinál, holott pontosan tudja, de "tagadni mindent", max a bíró ráolvas 8 évet 6 év múlva, akkor meg áldozatként nyígni.
De érted, nem hogy meghúzná magát, kerülné a nyilvánosságot, kussolna, nem. Tekintetes Fásy úr nem egy kitartott bűnöző, hanem érdemes művész, igaztalanul meghurcolva. Pfejjbazmeg.
Nézném ahogy Zsülikére ráolvasnak pár év letöltendőt az apjával bűnszövetségben elkövetett költsegvetési csalás miatt, aztán közvetlen Fásy úrra felbujtással súlyosbítva plusz hármat.
