Video shows Israeli thug slamming nun’s head into the pavement

Israel — A Zionist criminal has brutally assaulted a Christian nun in Jerusalem, in footage caught on camera. Middle East Eye has the shocking video, which shows the cowardly thug running up behind the woman and shoving her. She is sent hurtling head-first into a nearby kerb, in an attack that could easily have proved fatal. Reflecting the sadism inherent in the “most racist state the world has ever known“, the man returns to repeatedly kick the woman as she lies helpless on the ground.

The attack reflects a pattern of the Zionist entity known as ‘Israel’, and its land thieves, targeting Christians. As part of the sectarian pseudo-state’s discriminatory policies, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have been destroying Christian villages in Lebanon. Along the way, an IOF sectarian goon was caught smashing a statue of Jesus. Zionist land thieves, euphemistically called ‘settlers’ by legacy media, have been driving Christians out of the West Bank for decades.

‘Israel’: constant attacks on Christians, backed by Christian-Zionists

Random acts of violence and hatred like the one suffered by the nun are common too. There are countless videos of Christians being spat at in the street by Jewish supremacist bigots in the settler-colony. Of course, the majority of ‘Israel’s’ victims are Muslim, but the constant mistreatment of Christians is worth noting in a climate where the entity’s supporters emphasise support for ‘Israel’ as an expression of ‘Judeo-Christian values‘.

US journalist Glenn Greenwald pointed out this contradiction when he said in a tweet:

It continues to be a bizarre aspect of US politics that so many American Christians defend Israel even when it attacks Christian villages and churches and kills Americans and/or Christians (as Israel often does), and even seem grateful to pay for it.

The 48 year old nun required medical treatment for the hideous attack, which resulted in bruising to her face. She is in Jerusalem working as a researcher at the French School of Biblical and Archaeological Research. ‘Israeli’ police arrested the man, and the fake state’s foreign ministry called the incident a “despicable attack”.

Such attacks have no instrumental value in the way IOF atrocities in Gaza or land thief-led purges in the West Bank do. Therefore these institutions are content to condemn these pointless acts of sectarianism that expose the true ugliness of their deeply sick society.

Muslim group condemns brutal attack

Meanwhile, condemnation from Christian groups outside Jerusalem has been extremely limited. It was left to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to highlight the threat to Christians posed by Zionist supremacism. In a statement, they said:

This abhorrent hate crime against a French nun in Jerusalem is not an isolated incident, but the latest in a long line of attacks on Christians living under Israeli occupation. From this assault on a French nun to daily indignities and assaults upon Palestinian Christians, to the destruction of churches in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank, the Israeli government has directly or indirectly enabled various atrocities against Christians.

“It is long past time for Republican elected officials and Christian political organisations that claim to care about the safety of Christians around the world to condemn Israel’s pattern of violence. Christians are Christians, regardless of whether they are people of colour and regardless of whether they live in America or the Middle East.

Of course, the ever expanding land theft project that started with stealing from Palestinians is a threat to Christians — and everyone else — beyond West Asia. The most extreme expansionists, who increasingly drive policy in both the ‘Israeli’ government and armed forces, regard the entire world as Jewish property, if they have the means to seize it. As expressed by one fanatic in the documentary The Settlers:

The Land of Israel will expand over all countries, according to the prophecy. It includes an area we conquer and determine to be the Land of Israel.

Given the extraordinary influence Zionists have over the most powerful military in the world, this should be a legitimate cause for concern. Maybe even to the Islamophobes who are at ease with the genocide of a largely Muslim population, but who may ultimately balk at the possibility of this violence extending to those of their own faith.
