The United Church of Canada made a revealing statement here: “United Church of Canada Calls for Immediate Ceasefire in Israel and Palestine,” United Church of Canada, October 7, 2023:
The United Church condemns the attacks launched on communities in southern Israel by Hamas, and the ongoing daily violence meted out against Palestinians by Israel’s deepening occupation in Palestinian territories….Echoing the statement issued by the World Council of Churches, The United Church of Canada is deeply concerned about the risks of spiralling conflict between Palestinian armed groups and Israeli forces.
For starters, no entity known as “Palestine” exists. ‘Palestine’ isn’t a state, despite being declared one by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which claims 57 member states, including “Palestine.”
Somewhere, somehow, the disingenuous World Council of Churches (WCC) and the BDS-supporting United Church of Canada (UCC) have missed the abundantly documented history of the Palestinian jihad against Israel. To call for a ceasefire in the midst of an all-out war is as ridiculous as calling for a “ceasefire” on “both sides” while the World War II was raging. This current Israeli war on Hamas in Gaza was initiated by Hamas, and it did so in the most calculated and gruesome fashion. The UK Express released a headline: ‘Worse than ISIS’: Hamas terrorists ‘behead Israeli soldiers’ in sickening footage.
Hamas is supported by Iran and its proxies, and its unprecedented attack was launched at a time when Israel was perceived to be weakened — it was distracted by interference from the Biden administration in its internal affairs, an interference that is ongoing. Then there are the billions that have flowed into Iranian coffers via Biden’s hostage deal, and before that, Obama’s backroom deals (see also HERE); as well as continued Palestinian funding from the Biden administration.
In March, Palestinian Islamic Jihad declared that the “IDF is disintegrating before our eyes.”
The Palestinian imperative to obliterate Israel from the River to the Sea has been escalating for some time– in brutality and boldness.
While sinister organizations, even those operating under the banner of Christianity, pretend to care about “both sides,” they conveniently ignore the key threat: the longstanding Palestinian jihad against Israel.
The United Church joins with all those praying for a just peace in the Holy Land and urges global leaders to work urgently for an end to the current violence, an end to the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories, and a just and lasting peace for Palestinians and Israelis.
What the UCC is really requesting is that Israel stop defending itself. This would mean the obliteration of the Jewish state. The UCC cloaks its statement in a monstrous disguise — as a “prayer.”
Israel must defend itself alone. The gloves are off, and antisemites are being exposed everywhere.
Steve says
In New Zealand, the Anglican Church proposed a bowdlerized Bible with all references to Israel eliminated and replaced with “Palestine”.
And mainstream Protestant denominations wonder why they’re losing members in droves.
Mark Dunn says
Replace Israel with Palestine, that’s real funny, the pagans at the WCC and UCC sure are a funny lot.
Margaret Hood says
HAMASS…EVIL AND BRUTAL SAVAGES WITH NO CONSCIENCE AND NO ”GOD!! ISRAELSHOULD NOT ”HOLD BACK NOTHING…WIPE THEM OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH!!
THE LORD GOD KNOWS THIS EVIL EMPIRE TO BE SATANIC …..Remember HAMAN AND AMILICK!!! ESTHER PUT HER LIFE ON THE LINE TO PROTECT HER PEOPLE..THE HEBREWS…THE JEWS! BIBLICAL !!!!!
Margaret Hood says
PALESTINE…A NAME AND PLACE ONCE HARBORED THE PHILISTINES and now they choose to call themselves Palestinians?? INVENTED!
Margaret Hood says
The United ”NOTHINGS are out and about with ”just do goodie things!!” Doesn’t mount to a hill of beans! They don’t except Jesus as the Messiah and preach only what ”tickles the ears of sinners!” Evangelicals’ have always supported the ”GOSPEL.!” and the only nation that God formed…ISRAEL .homeland for the JEWISH people!
Intrepid says
They are especially being exposed in our Congress in the entity known as the Squad. Trashida Tlaib should be deported to Gaza where she can endure living under Hamas. Little Ilhan Omar should go back to Somalia. Jamaal Bowman should go pull another fire alarm. AOC should go back to bartending. As for the remaining miscreants, I really don’t give a crap about any of them.
Even our pathetic president had to give a war speech supporting Israel.
All of the Squad should summarily be kicked out of Congress. Given that it won’t happen, the new speaker, Jim Jordan hopefully, should strip all of them from their committee assignments and given the job of Congressional janitor cleaning toilets.
Margaret Hood says
JIM JORDAN he’s a fighter and out there and in the face of traitorous low life DEMOCRATS who turned to the LEFT A LONG TIME AGO! And some ELITE REPULICANS who wouldn’t know a good piece of legislation if it hit them upside their pretty heads and ‘ ‘ pocketbook …CAREER MINDED POLITICIANS…AND THAT’S ALL!’
Sword of The Spirit says
Yah notice that it is only time for a “cease fire” when it is Israel’s turn to fire.
Maha says
Yep! Every single time.
RS says
Why would anyone support groups who use women and children as human shields and put them in front of schools or other public areas as part of their military strategy?
Angel Jacob says
They call the terrorists “Palestinian armed groups.”
That’s all one needs to know the lying evil they are.
The United Church of Satanists. They dropped the last word from their title.
SKA says
Tell these so-called “Christians” that whenever they have repaid reparations to Israel for the 20 centuries of pogroms against the Jews maybe we might be able to take them seriously!
staffsgt7 says
The churches are not doing their jobs and instead doing those interfaith deceptions. Shame on the churches.
Steven Brizel says
The WCC has been anti Israel and anti Semitic for decades
Major Tom says
These so called Christian organizations were infiltrated by the Communists decades ago……
They are “shepherds in wolves clothing….”
Kevin Kock says
The United Church of Canada and the World Council of Churches can kiss my ass.
Robert of Prague says
No surprise there w/ the woke cowards in the faux-christian churches. It turns my stomach & may do the same to YHWH. Have supported Israel since the Six Day War as an atheist, more so after the barbaric attack on SA as an orthodox Christian. However, let us remember the socialist Ariel Sharon who gave Gaza to the islamists. Now is the time for Jews in Israel & in the US to declare their allegiance once & for all.
A bit of history re: Palestine. It is a term from the Roman Empire to eliminate the use of Judea-Jews. There is no such thing as a Palestinian nation or ethnicity. They all are primitive, fanatic & lazy Arabs; the surrounding Arab states don’t want them. Israel is clean & green, the Arab Gaza is a filthy wasteland & a shizzle hole. Israel shall prevail if it doesn’t listen to the corrupt UN & other L-regressive appeasers. Were I Bibi, would start blowing up the tunnels in Gaza & around the border. Further, the entire West Bank & Jerusalem belong to Israel, at least since 1967.
Alas, as long as EU & the US pours millions to PA & billions to Iran, the atrocities shall continue. The jihadis must starve.
Maha says
I for one am totally on board for a cease-fire. After every military aged man in GAZA is killed, or rotting in an Egyptian or Jordanian cell. (Because if they set foot in either country they will not be welcome.)
10ffgrid says
“Palestine” ??? There is no such place. FJB
Daniel says
Neither one represent Christian Churches. The claim they do, but they DON’T.
Angelina Pravova says
I left the United church of Canada when I was 12 after their Moderator pronounced “better red than dead” as their guiding principle. My parents were victims of the Soviet regime. They had already made their choice. I made mine.
Mark Dunn says
At twelve you were a vary bright kid. I’m jealous (Lol!) I was never considered a smart one.
Jonathan Usher says
The United Church is commenting on and taking sides in a political and social struggle. As such they should lose their right for donations to them to be tax free. Either they are a-political or not. They are not. They continually take a stand against Israel. They must lose their rights to have donations to them remain tax deductible.
Jonathan Usher says
The United Church has been suppoting the terrorists and ordinary Palestinians in their fight to destroy Israel for a long time. They have never been held accountable. They should acknowledge their position and pay the penalty for their political positions. It is not a matter of charity and never has been.
D.G. Chaille says
We “cease fire” when either our enemy ceases to fire or we are dead.
