One Island was devastated by floods now this.
For the first time in a half-century, a joint Palestinian-Israeli list will compete in Jerusalem’s municipal elections. The 350,000 Palestinians living in Jerusalem have boycotted the vote since Israel unilaterally unified Jerusalem in 1967 and created a single municipality, refusing to recognize and legitimize the Israeli occupation and annexation.

Since May 1st was the adopted celebrated day for the communists, Pope Pius XII turned to St. Joseph (The workman) to help stop the takeover of Italy by these communists.

Chemical weapons smuggled into aircraft?
To begin with, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has to be a complete jerk to use chemical weapons in this stage of the war. First, he is winning the war against the rebels. Second, President Trump just announced a few weeks ago that he was going to pull our troops out of Syria. Continue reading
