Palestinian Christians are often called the ‘living stones’ of Christianity as they can trace their history to the birth of the Church in this land 2,000 years ago. Ancestors of some families have been in the Holy Land ever since, while others migrated there in later centuries. Therefore they should be understood to be indigenous people of the Holy Land, not immigrants and not recent converts. In fact, they are the oldest Christian population on earth.
Unfortunately many Christians in other countries do not even know there are Christians in Palestine and view the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as a religious conflict between Muslims and Jews, rather than the struggle over land it truly is. Yet Christians around the world owe much to these indigenous believers and their faithful stewardship of the holiest sites of Christianity.
Once a major portion of the population in this region, today Palestinian Christians make up about 2% or less of the Palestinian population in the occupied territories, while they may comprise as much as 10% of the Palestinian people worldwide. The majority are members of Orthodox churches.
These Christians strongly identify as Palestinians with the same culture and history as their Muslim sisters and brothers. In this land, Christians and Muslims have lived together peacefully for many generations. Today they suffer together under the brutal Israeli occupation and all that it entails: checkpoints, travel restrictions, confiscation of land, destruction of homes, abuse of children, beatings, killings, and more.
One of the most painful restrictions of the occupation are the limits on their freedom to worship. Tourists from around the world can visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, believed to be the site of Jesus’ burial tomb, yet Palestinian Christians who live only a few miles away cannot reach it without a special permit that they can rarely obtain, even during the Easter season.
Meet the Unitree A2 — The 'Interstellar Hunter'
Weighing in at 37kg (70lbs), the Unitree A2 can carry a full-grown human, run at 5 meters per second (11.8mph), and climb 1-meter-high (3.3ft) obstacles like it’s nothing. With LiDAR-powered 3D vision, insane balance, and a 20km (12.4 miles) range—this thing is built for real industrial work, not just cool videos.
"Industrial work".... right.
The militarization of robot dogs is on the rise. Even more disturbing is that some of these robots are receiving OpenAI’s ChatGPT upgrades that make them all the more intelligent.
Trump even has some robo dogs at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The Black Mirror 'Metalhead' episode also comes to mind, check out clip HERE.
The ‘Skynet moment’ is upon us.
‼️☦️🇷🇺 Peter Tolstoy, member of the Russian Duma, has said that ‘AI art’ removes & deletes Orthodox Christian Crosses from churches, and fails to generate Crosses at all.
Why would AI technology not generate a Cross? 🤔💭
Mel Gibson accuses Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass of a Maui-style land grab in the Palisades.
Gibson says Newsom and Bass are plotting to displace locals and “reimagine” California neighborhoods, just like what happened in Maui.
“Newsom wants to do the Maui plan. There aren’t any more locals living there anymore. They all had to leave town.”
He’s calling for a federal investigation into Newsom’s $40 BILLION funding request, warning that Palisades and Altadena are next, and no one’s asking the people before wiping them off the map.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 European consumers pay on average 158% more than American consumers for electric energy and 345% more for natural gas despite being a lot poorer.
For the monthly electricity bill paid in the EU, 20% of the bill's price is inflated by taxes.
An EU-funded German think tank, in a December 2024 analysis, presented the "only" solution available: wait until renewables become cheap something which may or may not happen.
Their graphs show how renewables will change the future electricity bill, which by their own admission, will remain unchanged as whatever surges in electricity generation may appear from renewables will be offset by other taxes imposed by the EU in order to maintain auxiliary infrastructure such as batteries to stock up on surplus energy and replacing older infrastructure.
The think tank admits the future where Europe regains access to cheap energy without resorting to importing natural gas from Russia is "overtly optimistic" because the renewable ...
