Church of England sings Christmas carol against Israeli atrocities

[satya]

This is great....

The carol Twelve Days of Christmas was sung as: "Twelve assassinations/Eleven homes demolished/Ten wells obstructed/Nine sniper towers/Eight gunships firing/Seven checkpoints blocking/Six tanks a-rolling/Five settlement rings. Four falling bombs/Three trench guns/Two trampled doves/And an uprooted olive tree."

This articles are so confusing. The Anglican Church a break off church from the Holy Roman Empire which was set up by cryto-Jews is now drawing the attention of Christians about the plight of Palestinians?  I forgot to mention report in an unbiased Israeli newspaper. Hum... I wonder what motives are the various different players?  it smells like another bullshit story created to make Jews feel persecuted.

I think you're over-analyzing it.  There are many people in the Anglican Church who sympathize with the Palestinian plight, regardless of what the history may be.  Of course Haaretz will spin a pro-Palestinian story as anti-Semitic, that is what they do,

 How can you say that? Really! Dr. Thomas Barnett (Art Cebrowski's replacement) gave a lecture called the pentagons New map.  It this lecture he mentions tongue and cheek that "Western Capitalists" use Barbie dolls to undermine Islamic culture.  That is right, Barbie Dolls! I have even read articles how various groups have weaponized Pornography! It seems to me that you suffer from some sort of cognitive dissonance. Haretz is an Israeli newspaper with a Zionist agenda. Anglican church is the bastard love child of King henry and Anna Boylan.

Now you are over-analyzing my comments.  I know there is a conspiracy to undermine Islam, I am discussing this story in particular.

Propaganda works on the principle of marketing campaigns. These stories are like 10 second spots on the radio- Buy Coke! Got Milk!  Any reasonable researcher would ask why these stories come up or get reported? What is the Jewish angle?  Then again it could mean nothing- so why brother posting if you are not willing to analyze?

The story was reported to spin a story of what a group of pro-Palestinian righteously did and paint with a brush of anti-Semitism...that is the reason and the Jewish angle, end of story.

That may have been the history, but the reality now is that the Anglican Church is about as broad a church as you could find, ranging from the ultra-liberal to the ultra-conservative, from the questioning intellectual to the unquestioning fundamentalist, from those who see support for Israel as being an anathema to those who believe that "who curses Israel will be cursed, who blesses Israel will be blessed".

Perhaps there is not as much to analyse as you might think. Just because a church has certain origins doesn't mean it hasn't morphed over the centuries, nor does it mean that every adherent participates in some sort of hive-mind. It is notable, however, that the carol service appears to have been organised, at least in part, by Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods.

As for the Haaretz article, Jewry has never had much time for Christianity, and their mouthpieces don't lose any opportunity to highlight how biased these Christians are against 'Gods Chosen People'.

If there is any angle to this, it would be that Jewish people were involved in organising an event highly critical of the Jewish state - which could be perceived as stoking the fire of 'anti-semitism' to keep the Jewish people in a state of fear of the 'other'. I personally have my doubts about that, though.

Why have doubt about "stoking the fire of anti-semtism?" Was is not T. Herzl who said the antisemites will be our greatest friends? Frankly, I am concerned with the immediate suffering of my people.  Interestingly enough some Christians here in Nicaragua are more concerned about the Palestinians.  People are dying in the streets and I should be concerned about some Israeli atrocity in Palestine based on some Christian or religious connection.
