🇵🇸🇮🇱 Archbishop Atallah Hanna of the Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem on Thursday condemned Israel for its unjust decision to name six Palestinian aid organisations as "terrorist groups".
— "The ones who have afflicted and displaced our people should be called terrorists, not the ones who are defending Palestine and its oppressed people. The Palestinian people are still suffering from the consequences of the Israeli grievances even today."
The hierarch is known for his outspoken opposition to the Israeli authorities' persecution of Palestinian Christians in the West Bank. At the end of 2019, he narrowly avoided death after Israel purposely threw deadly gas canisters into his church with the aim of killing him.
The Christian population in Palestine has dropped by nearly ten-fold in the last 70 years, as a result of the occupation.

Exodus 33:12-14
And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.

Children of sex tourism
#video #Philippines
In Angeles City in the Philippines, many children have never seen their fathers and probably won’t ever meet them. That’s because their hometown is a sex tourism hotspot and their fathers travelled to buy sex.
Once home to the largest American airbase outside the US, Angeles City in the Philippines is still teeming with foreign men. Children’s faces tell the story of their birth - fair skin, black skin, Caucasian or Korean features. A lot of sex workers are also children of sex tourism.
These are video greetings some of the children in Angeles City recorded during our documentary filming in the hope their estranged fathers might see them.

Psalms 127:3-5
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.

John 17:14-20,
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
