How are we to hold Trump’s feet to the fire when he answers only to his donors?
We can’t afford to believe in fairytales, it’s time to be very realistic. The only thing Trump has ever done benefits those who give him money.
So if Trump is truly attracting young men, it begs the question how would that benefit him or his donors?
Connect the dots, he’s said that he will give Bibi whatever he needs to “finish the job”. Is he working on getting young men to fight for his donors?
Getting young patriotic men to lay down their lives for Israhell is something Kamala could never do, but Trump is fully capable of pulling it off. He’s a master of persuasion.
Face of real Santa Claus reconstructed with 3D tech after 1,700 years
Through forensic analysis of St. Nicholas of Myra’s skull, scientists have digitally reconstructed the face of the man who inspired the legend of Santa Claus.
Interesting Engineering
Updated: Dec 07, 2024
Scientists have made this Christmas season a little brighter by bringing the face of the real Santa Claus to life.
Saint Nicholas of Myra, who lived over 1,700 years ago, has been a beloved figure for centuries. His legacy of kindness and generosity inspired the legend of Santa Claus, who delivers gifts to children worldwide on Christmas Eve.
Despite his enduring presence in popular culture and childhood traditions, there has been no accurate visual representation of Saint Nicholas, the benevolent gift-giver from the late Roman Empire until now.
Just in time for the holidays, scientists have used forensic analysis of Saint Nicholas’s skull to reconstruct his face and glean insights into his health, offering a fascinating gift to the world.
It seems that Clement Clarke Moore’s 1823 poem, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” offered a surprisingly accurate portrayal of St. Nick.
According to Cicero Moraes, the study’s lead author, the reconstruction reveals a “strong and gentle face” resembling a realistic version of Santa Claus. Interestingly, evidence suggests that Saint Nicholas may have followed a plant-based diet.

Christmas Song in Old English [God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen] | The Skaldic Bard
Here is my translation, arrangement and performance of the traditional English Christmas song “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen” in Old English. My wife joins me in the latter part of the song.
The song in its bare form dates back to a manuscript from the 1650s. The subtitles show the Old English in the middle with the literal translation above and the original text below.

Agni Parthene in Old English (Greek hymn) | The Skaldic Bard
Here is my translation and performance of the beautiful Greek hymn Agni Parthene in Old English.
My first video upload as the Skaldic Bard was this hymn in Old Norse, and I thought to complement it with its cousin language Old English; though it is a (relatively) modern hymn, one can imagine the Anglo-Saxon and Norse Varangians in Constantinople being immersed in melodies such as this one during the Middle Ages.
I made this version a little more upbeat as a) an experiment for fun, and b) to try to capture the virile energy of the Germanic tradition. I’ve also used an authentic Old English cursive font this time without diacritics.
I hope you enjoy. Lyrics below in standardised Old English and Runic.

The Varangian’s Saga – Epic Byzantine Symphony feat. The Skaldic Bard
A collaboration between @SkaldBard and Farya Faraji. Music by Farya Faraji and The Skaldic Bard with traditional melodies from Greek, Scandinavian, Georgian, Belarusian and Ukrainian folk music.
Old Norse and Old East Slavic lyrics by The Skaldic Bard, Koine Greek lyrics by Demetrios Paraschos, with additional texts from The Alexiad, Kutadgu Billig, the Divan of Hafez, and the Roman des Franceis.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoHfJkj6BnY
Instrumentation by @Dimitrios_Dallas, Jiří Maršálek, Mohab Attalah, Illias de Sutter Ndavidlis, GSMusicStudio and the Hiimart Group.
Vocals by Skaldic Bard, Farya Faraji, @julyvitraniuk, Dimitris Kap, and The Skaldic Bard’s wife Lady Skald.
This work is mainly based on the sounds of the depicted cultures’ modern counterparts, using the instruments, melodic motifs and rythmic patterns of the traditional forms found in those cultures today, as follows:
The Norse are represented using modern Scandinavian sounds: Norwegian-Faroese melodic motifs, Schottische dance melodies, as well as Swedish-Norwegian instrumentation such as the nyckelharpa, hardanger, harps, and traditional zithers of the region.
The Eastern Romans are represented using modern Greek traditional and liturgical sonorities: Constantinopolitan, Thracian, Nisiotika, Pontian and Cretan folk sonorities, including Psaltic liturgical forms such as kalophony using Byzantine musical temperaments.
The instruments consist of: oud, kanun, Dodecanese, Thracian, Constantinopolitan, Pontic and Cretan lyras, gaida, saz, tzouras, and the medieval organ, as well as toumberleki, davul and bendhir drums.
Slavic passages are rooted in modern East Slavic folk motifs and instrumentation, primarily using guslis, bagpipes, the hurdy-gurdy, and flutes. July Vitraniuk provides the vocals using traditional vocal intonations of the region. The melodies associated with the Slavs come from the folk songs “Što j pa Moru,” and “Yurya,” both from Belarus.
Georgian passages utilise modern Georgian traditional music, namely their specific kind of harmony, musical forms such as the Sachidao chant and Acharuli dances, the touloumi bagpipe, and the panduri.
The Normans are represented using historical medieval French music, with bagpipes, hurdy-gurdys (with the anachronistic usage of chiens on the latter), lutes and gitterns. Their passage uses Organum fifth and fourth parrallel harmony as per the era.
The Seljuks utilise a mixture of modern Turkish and Iranian music, with the usage of the ney, kopuz, and bağlama, drawing partially from Sufi musical forms as well as Anatolian folk dances.

Puer Natus – Clamavi De Profundis
17 December 2024
Description:
“Puer Natus” is our arrangement of two pieces: an ancient hymn called “Puer Natus in Bethlehem,” which we sing in its entirety, (14 verses) and the Introit of the Christmas Day Mass “Puer Natus Est Nobis.” This latter’s text is taken from the book of Isaias 9:6.
We are releasing it today because the 17th of December marks the beginning of the octave before Christmas, a special time to seriously reflect on the coming of the Christ Child and to prepare our hearts for Him.
Dec 17-24 are marked by the Magnificat O Antiphons, which spell backwards the message “ERO CRAS,” that is, “I will be tomorrow.” Or “I am coming tomorrow.” This message would be in the voice of the Christ Child, as the last O antiphon occurs on Christmas Eve.
These 7 titles address Christ in various ways in reference to Scriptural passages.
Dec 17 – O Saptientia
Dec 18 – O Adonai
Dec 19 – O Radix Jesse
Dec 20 – O Clavis David
Dec 21 – O Oriens
Dec 22 – O Rex Gentium
Dec 23 – O Emmanuel

Extremism Masquerading as Apostasy: The Case of Taleb Al Abdulmohsen
@AMUSE
DEC 22
The blood-stained cobblestones of Magdeburg’s Christmas market in Germany serve as a stark reminder of the looming threat posed by sleeper extremists hiding in plain sight.
When Taleb Al Abdulmohsen, a Saudi-born Shia refugee falsely claiming to be an ex-Muslim, plowed a black BMW into a holiday crowd, he not only shattered lives but also exposed a chilling vulnerability in Western asylum systems.
How many more like Taleb might be lying in wait, using deception to embed themselves within society until the moment to strike arises? His tangled narrative of claimed apostasy, far-right affiliations, and allegations of Islamist duplicity isn’t just an anomaly—it’s a warning.
Europe’s compassion paving the way for an iceberg of hidden radicals to emerge.
A History of Exploiting Asylum Systems
The notion of asylum as a sanctuary for the persecuted has been both noble but naïve. History is replete with examples of extremist elements infiltrating Western societies under humanitarian pretenses.
For instance, a 2016 Europol report identified dozens of cases of individuals linked to terrorist organizations entering Europe under the guise of refugee status during the height of the Syrian crisis. Such findings underline the vulnerability of asylum systems to exploitation by those with malicious intent.
During the Syrian refugee crisis, European intelligence agencies unearthed over 50 confirmed cases of jihadists posing as asylum seekers to infiltrate the continent. These incidents highlight the calculated exploitation of refugee flows by extremist groups.
These precedents provide a chilling backdrop to Taleb’s narrative, suggesting that his claim of apostasy could have been a calculated move.
The Strategic Allure of Apostasy
In Europe, few identities grant more immediate legitimacy than that of an apostate fleeing persecution. Apostasy in Islam is often punishable by death, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
By declaring himself an atheist, Taleb not only secured his asylum in Germany but also shielded himself from extradition despite Saudi Arabia’s requests. According to a 2022 study by the Pew Research Center, asylum claims citing religious persecution, including apostasy, rose by 35% in Europe between 2015 and 2020, highlighting the strategic use of this identity by some applicants to gain legal protection.
His outspoken criticism of Islam, including appearances in documentaries and interviews, further cemented his public persona as an ex-Muslim.
Yet, this very visibility raises questions: why would someone allegedly at risk of violent retribution openly flaunt their apostasy? Genuine apostates, particularly women, often remain in the shadows to avoid retribution—a discrepancy that invites skepticism.
Taqiyya: The Cloak of Concealment
The Islamic doctrine of taqiyya permits concealment of one’s faith to avoid persecution. While historically rooted in self-preservation, its misuse as a strategic tool by extremists is not unprecedented.
Taleb’s accusers suggest that his public renunciation of Islam was not an act of defiance but a carefully orchestrated charade. Maral Salmassi, an Iranian-German entrepreneur, argued that Taleb’s actions align with the practice of taqiyya, allowing him to infiltrate and destabilize.
This accusation gains weight from testimonies of ex-Muslims who claim he used his position to target activists and undermine their efforts.
The Allegations of Trafficking and Subversion
Taleb’s activities extend beyond personal deception. For example, a 2021 investigation by Europol revealed multiple cases of individuals using falsified asylum claims to facilitate extremist networks across Europe.
These findings suggest a broader pattern of exploiting asylum processes for subversive purposes, raising concerns about Taleb’s true intentions.
Reports suggest he facilitated asylum claims for other supposed apostates, coaching them on how to present their cases convincingly. Such systemic guidance, while ostensibly humanitarian, raises alarms about the authenticity of these claims.
If Taleb was indeed aiding extremists under the guise of supporting ex-Muslims, his actions represent a sophisticated form of subversion.
Saudi Warnings Ignored
Saudi Arabia’s repeated attempts to extradite Taleb—citing charges of terrorism and other crimes—were dismissed by Germany as politically motivated.
Western skepticism of authoritarian regimes often blinds policymakers to legitimate concerns. The refusal to heed these warnings, coupled with Germany’s reluctance to investigate Taleb’s online threats, underscores a broader failure to balance compassion with vigilance.
The Christmas Market as a Target
The symbolism of Taleb’s attack cannot be overlooked. Christmas markets, rich with cultural and religious significance, have become frequent targets for Islamist extremists.
According to a 2020 report by the European Counter-Terrorism Centre, over 12 attacks on European Christmas markets have been either executed or foiled since 2015, reflecting their symbolic appeal to radical ideologies.
This attack’s alignment with such objectives—despite Taleb’s professed atheism and far-right sympathies—raises questions about his true motivations. Was this an isolated act of personal grievance, or part of a broader ideological campaign?
Social Media: A Weapon of Deception
Taleb’s social media presence painted a picture of an ardent critic of Islam and a supporter of Germany’s far-right AfD party, President Trump, and even Elon Musk.
Yet, ex-Muslims who interacted with him describe a more sinister figure, one who threatened activists and harassed women. This duality underscores the potency of social media as a tool for both propaganda and obfuscation, enabling individuals like Taleb to manipulate public perception while concealing their true intentions.
Conclusion
The case of Taleb Al Abdulmohsen epitomizes the perils of ideological naïveté in Western asylum policies. By cloaking himself in the identity of an ex-Muslim atheist, Taleb exploited Europe’s compassion and evaded scrutiny.
His actions, culminating in the horrific Christmas market attack, demand a reassessment of how asylum claims are evaluated. While the values of freedom and tolerance are cornerstones of Western democracies, they must not be wielded as weapons against those very societies. Taleb’s charade, if proven, is not merely a betrayal of trust but a clarion call for vigilance in safeguarding these principles from exploitation.

Oy vey! The Englishman.
Listening to that song made me so homesick.
I called Israeli Airlines to schedule my next Aliyah and later wept bitter tears over my latkas thinking of grandmama.
My late brother used to tell an interesting story.
Back in the early 70’s he was the “carpet layer to the stars”. He lived in LA and the company he worked for did carpeting projects for some very well known celebrities of the time. Cary Grant was great. Flip Wilson acted like a crazy nigger.
At some job they were doing in one of the rich LA enclaves, some kids next door liked to play basketball. They could be heard but they couldn’t be seen because a wall separated the two homes.
One day my brother and the other guys went outdoors to eat their lunch, and the kids were playing basketball. Only not playing as much as wagering on shots.
It was all about money. “I bet you a dollar you can’t make it.” “I bet you a dollar I CAN make it!” “Bet you five dollars I can beat you at horse.” That kind of stuff. It grew annoying.
Finally, one of the carpet guys, “Pete the Hungarian” yelled out in his Hungarian accent, “Why does everything have to be about money with you people? Can’t you just do something for the love of it?”
Immediately, all the loud bantering stopped. And a few seconds later a door opened… then closed… and all was silent again. Pete the Hungarian had hit the mark.
“Greater Israel” Metastasizes
KEVIN BARRETT
DEC 22, 2024
for American Free Press
“Israel is a cancer on the Middle East.” Resistance leaders across the region have used that metaphor for generations. The Zionists who dominate American politics, finance and media have attacked it as inappropriate.
But is the metaphor inaccurate? Cancer occurs when a diseased cell or cells begin uncontrollably expanding at the expense of neighboring cells and organ systems.
Israel, a malignant body of extremist fanatics implanted into the heart of the Middle East, keeps mindlessly and voraciously expanding, not unlike a virulent tumor. Such pathological Zionist growth has caused untold pain, suffering, and hardship for the people of Palestine, the region, and the world.
Let’s chart Israel’s malignant growth. The original version of modern Israel, as set forth in the Balfour Declaration (1917) consisted of a mere “Jewish homeland” (not a state) guaranteed not to impinge on the rights of non-Jews—who constituted the vast majority of the population and owned virtually all of the land of historic Palestine.
After the invading Jewish terrorists began running amok, as recounted in Thomas Suarez’s magisterial State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel, Britain rewarded them with the 1937 Peel Commission partition plan, which would have created Israel on 33% of Palestine, leaving the other 67% for Palestinians.
The Peel Commission plan was outright theft. Palestinians owned well over 90% of the land of Palestine, yet the Commission wanted to steal almost one-third of their land and hand it to Eastern European Jewish terrorist invaders.
But even such grand larceny wasn’t enough for the Zionists. They held out for more, and got it in 1948 by bribing US President Truman with a suitcase containing two million dollars in cash (as recounted by John F. Kennedy to Gore Vidal). That bribe, and others like it, produced the UN’s partition plan, which almost doubled the size of the Peel Commission’s Israel.
But even that outrageous robbery did not satisfy the Zionist terrorists, who immediately began massacring Palestinians and invading territory outside their UN borders.
When the Nakba (Palestinian Holocaust) was over, untold thousands of Palestinians were dead, and more than 750,000 survivors had been robbed of their land and property and forced into exile as permanent refugees.
After perpetrating the 1948 holocaust the Zionists refused to return to their UN-approved borders, which would have given them more than 55% of Palestine, and instead continued occupying almost 80%.
But even that didn’t satisfy them. The Zionist leadership spent the next two decades plotting what would become the 1967 war of aggression, in which they stole another 77,000 square kilometers consisting of the West Bank including Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula.
Together, those stolen territories are almost four times the size of pre-1967 Israel.
After 1967, Zionist leaders split between those willing to return stolen territory in return for peace, and those dedicated to endless wars of expansion. With the assassination of the land-for-peace Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, the issue was definitively settled in favor of the “forever wars” party.
Rabin was an anomaly—a mere speed bump on the road to Greater Israel. The Zionist leadership has always tacitly agreed that Israel will keep expanding to its Biblical mandate and beyond.
David Ben-Gurion defined Zionism’s goal as follows: “to create a Jewish state in the whole of the Land of Israel.”
That “whole” includes Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan, and part of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, northern Arabia, and arguably Turkey. Such conquests will require genocidal war against those countries and peoples.
2024 will go down in history as the year the Zionist cancer metastasized, sending its toxic tendrils even further into northern Gaza, the West Bank, southern Lebanon, and Syria.
Netanyahu’s minister Smotrich is calling for the full annexation of the West Bank and Gaza and the murder or expulsion of all Palestinians from historic Palestine. That process is already underway as northern Gaza is being emptied and Israel has grabbed a full 6000 acres of the West Bank.
Meanwhile Israel is violating its ceasefire agreement with Lebanon in an attempt to steal all of south Lebanon up to the Litani River. And in the wake of the US-Turkish-Israeli overthrow of the Syrian government, Israel has massively attacked Syria and grabbed vast swathes of Syrian land.
The ever-expanding cancer of Zionism poses a clear and present danger to the region and the world. The driving force behind Zionism is a virulent version of Jewish messianic millenarianism whose endgame is a Jewish military leader conquering not just the region, but the whole world, and then establishing a Jewish global dictatorship based in Occupied Jerusalem.
First, they came for the Palestinians. Israel’s neighbors are next. But this isn’t just a regional problem. Metastasizing Israel threatens all of us.

A Perfect Christmas Message: The Manger Covered With a Keffiyeh
Dr. James J. Zogby ©
President
Arab American Institute
The scene at the Paul VI chapel in the Vatican’s St Peter’s Square was quite moving. Pope Francis had come to thank those who had donated the chapel’s Christmas tree and the carved life-sized figures that depicted the birth of Jesus that had been set up at the foot of the tree. As the Pope sat in silent prayer contemplating the scene, one thing stood out: the manger on which lay the figure of the baby was covered with a keffiyeh serving as a blanket. The symbolism was powerful. Here’s why.
In a sense, Christianity, from its beginning, had an ornery message. Instead of worshipping riches and power, it starts in a cave in a manger.
The birth of Jesus, as related in the Christian bible and tradition, tells us that because his parents couldn’t find room in a Bethlehem inn, they were forced to find shelter in a cave that housed animals. After his birth, his mother Mary placed him in a manger, where he lay as common shepherds came to pay homage and kings from the East came bearing gifts.
When King Herod, the Roman client who governed this region, became aware of this birth and the prophecies about how, despite his inauspicious origin, this child would rise to lead his people, Herod felt threatened and in a rage ordered the massacre of all little children in the area. Warned in advance, Jesus’ parents and their newborn fled to Egypt until it was safe to return.
Palestinian Christians see echoes of the plight of their Palestinian nation in this story. They are outcasts living under occupation. The birth of Jesus we are told from the beginning was to herald a new order that would promise freedom for captives, to bring low the mighty, send the rich away empty, and reward those who persevere for the sake of justice. Palestinians know that their very existence and steadfastness threatens to upend the established order.
When in later years, the Christian faith was adopted by the Empire, images of Jesus took on the trappings of royalty. He came to be portrayed as a king in an earthly sense, clothed in regal garments and crowned in gold. In this transformation, the profoundly unsettling upside-down message of the original story is lost. And so, the manger scene in the Vatican is a powerful reminder of Jesus in the beginning—an outcast, born humbly, under occupation, his parents fearful for his safety. In this context, the keffiyeh is a perfect touch.
Not everyone agrees, of course. The head of the Anti-Defamation League has termed the keffiyeh an anti-Semitic symbol and has called for sanctions against those who wear it. Building on this, one US congressman denounced the Pope for falling victim to the antisemitic propaganda lie that equates the plight of Palestinians with the Christmas story. This requires a response, because the story of the symbolism of the keffiyeh is itself something that must be understood.

Displaying baby Jesus in a kaffiyeh is antisemitic
Manger displays depicting Jesus as Palestinian — including the Vatican’s — erase Jewish history in the Holy Land
The Forward | 11 December 2024
The kaffiyeh — the Bedouin head scarf that has become a symbol of Palestinian resistance — is not only the latest sartorial fad among hipster fashionistas, but is now being used to swaddle baby Jesus as well.
Kaffiyeh-clad baby Jesus is showing up in manger scenes all over the world, even in the Vatican itself.
Sometimes, those manger scenes are filled with rubble, symbolizing the mass destruction in Gaza and the gulf between the coming birthday of the Prince of Peace and the lack thereof.
Yada, yada, yada, “anti-Semitic” yada, yada yada.
“Putting Jesus in a kaffiyeh erases Jesus’ Jewish identity.”

Hey, Rabbi.
No matter how much you whinge on about Jesus’ so-called Jewish identity, a person you really and Talmudically despise, He is, first and foremost, Christ our God of the New Covenant which you refuse when you rejected Him as the Divine Messiah and then crucified Him.
It was He who destroyed Jerusalem, which had become Sodom, Gomorrah, Egypt, and Babylon all in one city, and your Jewish temple and its greedy, elitist, avaricious, socio-political temple institution in AD 70 as the cosmic display of His Divine Power and Manifestation sitting at the Right Hand of God the Father.
The days of Dispensationalism and Scofieldism are numbered which props your satanic Terrorist Jewish State. Evangelical Zionism is fading away, as more and more Gen Z evangelicals refuse to support Zionism and Israel. -Kj

As a P.S. I discovered a little while back that the manger that the Virgin Mary placed her Babe in was most likely a stone watering trough in the lower animal cave-room, rather than a feeding trough for hay, since in Palestine in December grass is plentiful for the browsing.
As such, that is a beautiful symbolic addition to the Nativity Story, that Our Lord and Savior, the Living Water of Life, started His Incarnate life in a humble stone water trough. -Kj
The Huron Carol – Canadian Christmas Chant
Vocals and arrangement by Farya Faraji. Many thanks to Luigi Alberga for having introduced me to this song. This is known as the oldest Christmas chant in Canada, and may very well be one of its oldest songs, if not the oldest.
The piece has a very interesting history: it was first noted down in the 18th century in Québec, and it is said that it was written and composed by Jean Brébeuf, a French missionary who had traveled to New France in 1625.
Brébeuf was nothing short of a linguistic genius and had an extraordinary ability for languages. He learned the Wendat language, a member of the Iroquoian family of languages in North America and even mastered it to the point of poetic and oratory fluency.
According to this story, he then wrote what is known in French as the Noël Huron, or Jesous Ahatonnia, in the Wendat language.
The song would then have been translated into French and noted down in the 18th century. It was later translated into English. I’m personally dubious as to the veracity of the story when it comes to the melody: it was supposedly composed by Brébeuf himself, based on the melody of a pre-existing French song called “Une Jeune Pucelle”, but the descending pattern into the Aeolian mode is highly uncharacteristic of European music in the 17th century, and is found far more often in French Canadian music of the past two centuries.
I think it’s a possibility that the melody we now associate with the text isn’t exactly the one sung by Brébeuf’s converts in the 1600’s, if he did indeed compose the song.
A characteristic of the original Wendat lyrics as well as the English translation is the transposition of the story of the nativity into a pre-colonial, North American setting.
God is referred to as the Gitche Manitou, the gifts of the Three Magi are turned into pelts of fox and beaver, etc–it shows a fascinating form of syncretism: translating the imagery of a Middle-Eastern setting into a North American one.
I forewent using the original Wendat lyrics as the language has no native speakers right now, and is in the process of being retaught by the Wendat Nation here in Québec; therefore I didn’t have sufficient sources to ensure a proper rendering of the language that wouldn’t butcher it.
Lyrics in French:
Chrétiens, prenez courage,
Jésus Sauveur est né ! Du malin les ouvrages
À jamais sont ruinés. Quand il chante merveille,
À ces troublants appas Ne prêtez plus l’oreille :
Jésus est né : In excelsis gloria !
Oyez cette nouvelle, Dont un ange est porteur!
Oyez! âmes fidèles, Et dilatez vos cœurs.
La Vierge dans l’étable Entoure de ses bras
L’Enfant-Dieu adorable. Jésus est né : In excelsis gloria !
Voici que trois Rois Mages, Perdus en Orient,
Déchiffrent ce message Écrit au firmament :
L’Astre nouveau les hante. Ils la suivront la-bas,
Cette étoile marchante : Jésus est né : In excelsis gloria !
Jésus leur met en tête Que l’Étoile en la nuit
Qui jamais ne s’arrête Les conduira vers Lui.
Dans la nuit radieuse En route ils sont déjà,
Ils vont l’âme joyeuse. Jésus est né : In excelsis gloria !
Pour l’Enfant qui repose dans un petit berceau,
Humblement ils déposent Hommages et cadeaux.
Comme eux, l’âme ravie, Chrétiens, suivons ses pas,
Son amour nous convie. Jésus est né : In excelsis gloria !
Lyrics in English:
‘Twas in the moon of winter-time
When all the birds had fled,
That mighty Gitchi Manitou Sent angel choirs instead;
Before their light the stars grew dim,
And wandering hunters heard the hymn:
Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria.
Within a lodge of broken bark, the tender Babe was found,
A ragged robe of rabbit skin Enwrapp’d His beauty round;
But as the hunter braves drew nigh, The angel song rang loud and high… “Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria.”
The earliest moon of wintertime is not so round and fair,
As was the ring of glory On the helpless infant there.
The chiefs from far before him knelt with gifts of fox and beaver pelt.
Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria.
O children of the forest free, O sons of Manitou,
The Holy Child of earth and heaven Is born today for you.
Come kneel before the radiant Boy Who brings you beauty, peace and joy. Jesus your King is born, Jesus is born, In excelsis gloria!

KJ,
“Hey, Rabbi, No matter how much you whinge on about Jesus’ so-called Jewish identity…”
Should be self evident neither one of us are rabbis. Just a couple guys joking around. Glickman is a different person. This has all been explained repeatedly.
Maybe you don’t have a sense of humor?
I like Jesus as much as the next guy and I didn’t even mention him.
I could complain about having to scroll through your walls of text cut and paste.
hahahaha
shalom la’chaim
Shalom, Rav Mortichai! Good to see you back from the dead, so to speak.
Methinks KathJuliane was referring to the whinging rabbi in the story she linked to. Not you or Rabbi Glickman.
Though some here have taken the resident rabbi’s bait, KJ is definitely not one of them.
Dear Rav Mortichai,
I know you and Rabbi Glickman are RJN’s fake rabbis. I’m a big fan, and defender! I’ve gotten great laughs from you both.
I’ll say some prayers to keep your scrolling fingers in shape whenever you see my posts.
I was venting my spleen at Rabbi Salkin, not my precious RJN fake rabbis, who wrote that obnoxious piece of garbage in The Forward about Christmas Nativity scenes this year in churches everywhere, including the Vatican, which had the Babe lying in rubble on a keffiya, whinging about how “anti-Semitic” that was, then tried to throw in the strawman that “Jesus was a Jew” to finish his argument:
“Perhaps those who nest figures of baby Jesus in the kaffiyeh have noble, peaceful motives but, whether they know it or not, they are engaged in theological antisemitism — a kind of antisemitism that, like all versions, should have disappeared decades ago.
“How so?
“Putting Jesus in a kaffiyeh erases Jesus’ Jewish identity.”
Well, Rabbi Salkin, if you must insist that Jesus was one of your own, apart from the fact that you regicidal Jews crucified your own anointed King of Judah as legally documented by Pontius Pilate, and which your Talmud takes proud responsibility for His execution, then in his Incarnation you certainly also know that He was a despised Galilean.
Jesus was raised and educated by His Holy Family and network of extended family in the common tradition and culture of Galilean Second Temple Yahwehism composed of Temple, Written Torah & Priesthood, and not the innovative movement to Synagogue, Pharisaism & Oral Torah largely centered in Judah proper driven by early scribes and rabbis which had taken control of the Great Sanhedrin and the temple institution itself.
Christ was fundamentally opposed to your rabbinic manmade ‘traditions of the elders’ and the corruption of the Temple 2000 years ago. No doubt, He is even more opposed to the Rabbinic Talmudism now.
He came from an impoverished and marginalized royal branch of the House of David, having extended family on his Mother’s side into the Aaronide priestly family.
Rabbi Salkin goes on to whine:
“Swaddling Jesus in a kaffiyeh also “resurrects” the charge that the Jews killed Jesus. How so? There is a simple, sinister syllogism at work in the symbolism of baby Jesus in a kaffiyeh.
“The Israelis, i.e. the Jews, are killing Palestinians. Baby Jesus is dressed as a Palestinian. The ancient antisemitic slur of deicide, that the Jews killed God, re-emerges as the genocide charge — that the Jewish state has deliberately planned to destroy the Palestinian people.
“The resurrection of the deicide charge has a contemporary source.
“The Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center in Jerusalem, founded by the Anglican priest and Palestinian theologian Naim Ateek, promotes a Palestinian liberation theology, which applies the theology of the liberation of the oppressed to the Palestinian issue.
“As S. Ilan Troen writes in his wonderful new book, Israel/Palestine in World Religions: Whose Promised Land?, Ateek’s religious view is that of the old, presumably discredited Christian supercessionism, also known as replacement theology. Christians have replaced the Jews; Christianity has replaced Judaism.
“‘Ateek views the Church as the New Israel,’ Troen writes, ‘replacing and thus erasing the role Jews had previously placed in a Covenant with the Lord.'”
“The kaffiyeh-clad baby Jesus is just another way to promote this theological antisemitism. It erases Jesus’ Jewish identity, and it perpetuates the myth of Jewish deceitfulness.”
“Myth of Jewish deceitfulness?” Rabbi Salkin, I noticed you couldn’t truthfully say ‘lie of Jewish deceitfulness’, and throw up the myth canard trying to imply that it is. By definition a myth is according to Webster’s: “a usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon, parable, allegory”.
There is plenty of historical documentation from all over the world which contributes to the universal belief or “mythology” of Jewry’s overall character of deceitfulness and subversiveness, a national character trait which Jews seem to take a Talmudically perverse pride in going all the way back to arrogant, spoiled rotten younger son Jacob’s extortion and usurpation of Esau’s birthright and blessing, right down to Jacob’s conspiracy with their mother Rebecca to lie to and deceive old, blind Isaac to perpetuate the fraud on Esau, as recorded in the OT Book of Genesis.
Both Rebecca and especially her favorite son, mama’s boy Jacob (“Supplanter”), were in fact deeply punished by God for this fraudulent deceit pulled on Isaac and Esau, but that’s something that the Jews don’t celebrate in their Talmud, nor the rabbis comment on much.
But the astronomically huge “myth of Jewish deceitfulness” as grown through the millennia through many cultures and civilizations is actually quite true.
Nothing wrong with Ateek’s 2000-year-old traditional Anglican theology and ecclesiology of the Old and New Covenants (aka Old and New Testaments), Israel of the flesh and the Israel of God — the Ekklesia of Christ.
It is the Body of Christ that is the Third Temple, the Kūriakon or “Church” of New Israel, and has been for 2000 years, where God-YHWH now resides — the heavenly or spiritual Sion.
Shalom la’chaim, dear fake Rabbi Mortichai!
Merry Christmas and may God’s blessings be upon you!
ADL plans to ramp up legal pressure on K-12 schools over antisemitism
The organization’s head of advocacy expressed concern about teachers ‘discussing anti-Zionism’ in class
The Forward | 23 December 2024
The Anti-Defamation League is seeking to ramp up pressure on K-12 schools over antisemitism and criticism of Israel in the classroom that the group says mirrors problems on college campuses.
Administrators in elementary and secondary schools have scrambled to respond to complaints that Jewish students are being bullied with taunts related to the Israel-Hamas war and that teachers are injecting political criticism of Israel into lessons.
The president of a leading private school association was forced to apologize after multiple speakers assailed Israel during their presentations at a recent conference.
“A lot of promises have been made that things will be better, things will be different, and we want to hold those institutions accountable,” Shira Goodman, the ADL’s vice president of advocacy, said at a webinar for parents last week.

Finding hope and resilience in Gaza amid war and devastation – Day 442
If Americans Knew | 24 December 2024
by Kathryn Shihadah
We’re taking a short break from reporting on the genocide in Gaza to focus on sumud – that quality that enables Palestinians to carry on day after day.
Christians in Gaza
Gaza’s Christian population is estimated to be 800 to 1,000. They include both Catholics and Orthodox (the Orthodox church observes Christmas on January 7).
Gaza’s Catholic church is the Holy Family Parish; the the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint Porphyrius – one of the oldest churches in the world – serves the Orthodox community. Both are located in Gaza City.
One week into the war, Israel targeted the Greek Orthodox church, reportedly killing 18 people who had sought refuge there. In November, an 84-year-old music teacher who was sheltering in the Catholic church bled to death after being shot. In late December, an Israeli sniper shot to death two women at the Catholic church.
Cardinal Pizzaballa shares thoughts after Christmas visit to Gaza
Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, the leader of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, was granted permission by Israel to visit Gaza for Christmas.
Approximately 400 Christians have taken refuge since the beginning of the war in Holy Family Parish, the only Catholic church in Gaza.
This was the cardinal’s second trip to Gaza since the war started in October 2023. At a press conference, he commented that conditions have “gotten much worse” since his May visit, with rubble and sewage everywhere, the sound of drones overhead, and explosions all around.
But he had positive things to say about the small community.
“I saw a lot of life. They are still able to smile and enjoy the simple things.”
He was encouraged by the children who are in dire straits, but “still have the strength to laugh”; the people who have lost so much, but whose hearts are “free from feelings of hatred”; and the parents who “before food and a home, ask for school for their children. It means that they still are determined to continue, to invest their lives there.”
“I wanted to stay for a few hours,” the cardinal said, “to be with them, visit where they are living, their conditions, how they live, what they need. And I never heard a word of anger. Never. Everything is destroyed in Gaza, but they are not destroyed. They are tired, but you can perceive life.”
After celebrating Christmas mass and visiting with the congregation, the cardinal also walked to the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Porphyrius to offer greetings.
According to St. Porphyrius’ parish priest, Father Gabriel Romanelli, “All the people, the families, came to ask for his blessing, for advice, to share their stories. He comforted everyone. He comforted the family of Nahida and Samar, who were killed a year ago by a sniper, by blessing their grave.”
“The last few weeks have been very tough, even for the most optimistic,” the priest added. “This visit, the words of the patriarch about the Church not abandoning its children, have given new hope.”
Addressing Pope Francis’ statements
At the press conference after his Gaza visit, Pizzaballa commented on recent remarks by Pope Francis, who has denounced the cruelty of Israel’s war twice in two days.
On Saturday, the pope had referenced the bombardment of children and said: “This is cruelty. This is not war. I wanted to say this because it touches the heart”; again on Sunday, he said, “with pain I think of Gaza, of so much cruelty, of the children being machine-gunned, of the bombings of schools and hospitals. What cruelty.”
The cardinal told journalists, “The pope has always been very clear. Perhaps we are not used to a pope who does not use many nuances… He called for the end of this war, he has asked many times for the release of the hostages, while also clearly condemning the disproportionate response and the consequences of the war on the civilian population.”
The Israeli Foreign Ministry rejected the pontiff’s statements, claiming that his words were “disappointing” and “disconnected” from reality. The ministry added, “The blame should be directed solely at the [Palestinians], not at the democracy defending itself against them. Enough with the double standards and the singling out of the Jewish state and its people.”
**NOTE: It is disingenuous to refer to Israel as a “democracy,” when in reality the Palestinians under Israeli rule (half of the total population) do not enjoy equality with Israeli Jews.
The Nation-State Law (passed in 2018) is perhaps the most blatant example of the country’s overt Jewish supremacy; a number of highly respected human rights organizations (including Israeli orgs) have cataloged the laws, systems, and practices in place, and deemed them to add up to apartheid (most notably: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the United Nations, and the Israeli human rights groups B’Tselem and Yesh Din).

Let me assure you all I am NOT a “whinging” rabbi – as some here have suggested. I am *The* Rabbi Glickman! A world-famous, and much beloved rabbi… who has won countless awards!
I am many adjectives to many people: shrewd, hard, nefarious, malicious, heartless, toxic, vengeful…. OK, enough already! But “whinging”?
Don’t make me curse you. You do NOT want to be cursed by *The* Rabbi Glickman. L’Chaim!
Hello Brother Nathanael.
Merry Christmas!
I am a Orthodox Christian from Greece and I like your videos.
I’ve been watching them from day-one, although I’ve been taking some breaks every now and then.
I watch closely what is going on in America, and I can say that things are as desperate as they are here in Greece.
But, as it is foretold, the Jews will eventually bring their antiChrist in power, only to get their hopes and earthly dreams crushed when they realize he is not anyone’s Messiah, but the most evil dictator…
Then it will be too late for any Jew or non-Jew, and we will most likely all perish, but God has the final word, and the power to correct everything. It is just sad that people can’t see where things are going.
Some notes/ideas:
1) The “#1 noticer” T-shirts seem nice. However, I am not sure if the people that do not watch your videos will get the meaning when they see it. Also, searching for the phrase online brings no relevant results (nothing related to your videos or website).
I don’t think I fully get the meaning either, because it is too generic and it doesn’t relate much to your website. Perhaps you should find a message that is more connected to your website, or connect the existing message to your website more, so that it acts like a brand of some sort.
2) Perhaps it would be of value to create a documentary that concentrates all the information of your videos. E.g., start with why the Jews were kicked out of the promise land to begin with. Continue with the fact that God didn’t really get along with the Jews so much, since He was getting countless of them wiped out whenever they disobeyed Him (which they never stopped doing…).
Then with the fact that God NEVER intended to establish a race-based system (mentioning Ruth and other converts from the Bible, and how God killed pagan Jews with far greater ease, than pagan gentiles). Then with the fact that modern Jews have no valid priesthood. Then with the fact that Jews have all the curses of God written in the Old Testament fallen onto them (that they would be scattered all over the globe, that they will be always in fear, that they will never settle down, etc, etc) because they revolted against Him. Then with the fact that ancient Judaism has little to no connection to modern Judaism (with the Talmud, the Kabbalah, the violation of all the 10 commandments of Moses, and what not…).
Then with the fact that the Messiah of the old/real Israelites is Jesus Christ, who fulfilled all prophecies, and the real Israel is the Church. Then with the fact that the real “chosen people” were the Apostles, that were indeed chosen by God, and they did indeed fulfill their mission of preaching the Gospel to all humanity, unlike their Christ-hating counterparts that ended up preaching and spreading everything evil instead.
Then with the fact that ancient Israel was defenseless and powerless as a nation, but powerful only because of God, while today God has totally abandoned them and they try to force their false prophecies by human power and influence.
Although, probably, you don’t have enough time, and money, and technical know-how, to do this. And not many people do… It is hard to get a good outcome.
Also, a question:
Some people have doubts about the racial origins of modern Jews, and whether they are descendants of the ancient Jews (e.g. they say things about Khazaria, etc). Also, the skin color seems a bit off…
On the other hand, I think Jews keep track of their ancestry and should have a vague idea on where they come from. Also, the theocidal curse and the curses fallen upon them are pretty evident.
Could the theocidal curse be also transmitted by spiritual lineage? Do you have any strong opinions on the matter?

His Eminence’s Christmas Homily to the Gazans brought tears to my eyes, and is a message for us all.
Christmen, stand up! Where is your light? -Kj
~~~*~~~
Cardinal Pizzaballa’s Christmas Message to Christians in Gaza
If Americans Knew | 24 December 2024
Sunday Homily, December 22, 2024, on the Occasion of the Visit of His Beatitude Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, to Celebrate Christmas at the Holy Family Church – Gaza.
I first express my great joy at being among you today and extend to you the greetings of everyone who conveys their love, prayers, and solidarity with you. Everyone wanted to come and be with you and bring gifts, but we couldn’t carry much. You have become the light of our Church in the entire world.
At Christmas, we celebrate the light and ask: Where is this light? The light is here, in this church. The beginning of the light is Jesus Christ, who is the source of our life. If we are a light to the world, it is only because of Him. At Christmas, I pray that Jesus grants us this light.
We are living in a time filled with darkness, and there is no need to elaborate because you know it well. In these moments, we must first look to Jesus, for He gives us the strength to endure this dark time.
Over the past year, we have learned that we cannot rely on humans. How many promises were made and never fulfilled? And how much violence and hatred arose because of people?
To remain steadfast in hope, we must be deeply rooted in Jesus. If we are connected to Him, we can look at one another in a different way.
I don’t know when or how this war will end, and every time we approach the end, it seems like we start anew. But sooner or later, the war will end, and we must not lose hope. When the war ends, we will rebuild everything: our schools, our hospitals, and our homes. We must remain resilient and full of strength.
And I repeat: We will never abandon you, and we will do everything we can to support and assist you.
But most importantly, we must not allow hatred to infiltrate our hearts. If you want to remain a light, we must make our hearts available for Jesus alone.
This year has been a significant challenge to our faith, for all of us, and especially for you. Sometimes, we asked, “Until when, O Lord?” Today, we answer with our will: “We want this situation to end soon, but we want to remain with You, O Lord.” Christ affirmed this by saying, “I am Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.”
We must remain steadfast in our faith, pray for the end of this war, and trust completely that with Christ, nothing can overcome us.
Despite the violence we witnessed this past year, we also witnessed many miracles. Amidst the darkness, there were people who wanted to help and did not let anything stand in their way. The whole world, not just Christians, wanted to support and stand with you.
The war will end, and we will rebuild again, but we must guard our hearts to be capable of rebuilding. We love you, so never fear and never give up.
We must preserve our unity to keep the light of Christ here in Gaza, in our region, and in the world. We have a mission, and you must also give something, not just receive. The world that looks at you must see to whom you belong, whether you belong to the light or to darkness? Do you belong to Jesus, who gives his life, or another?
When the world looks at you, it must notice that we you different. One of you once said to me: “As Christians, there is no violence in our blood. We want to remain Christians and remain the light in this place.”
Thank you for everything you do. You may not notice it in your difficult daily life, but the whole world does. We are all proud of you, not only for what you do but because you have preserved your identity as Christians belonging to Jesus.
Belonging to Jesus makes everyone a friend to you, and our lives become lives of giving to all.
I conclude by saying: Thank you. May Christmas bring light to each of us. Do be afraid, for no one can take Christ’s light from us. Continue to give the good testimony of the Christian faith.
Merry Christmas!

The term Palestine first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a “district of Syria, called Palaistinê” between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories. It is thought to be the replacement for the term Canaan. He used Palestine to reference both the inland and the coastal regions.
Therefore, Jesus Christ the Son of God, in His Incarnation named Emmanuel, ‘God is with(in) us’ highlights Jesus’ dual nature as fully divine and fully human, illustrating God’s intimate engagement in human experiences, was of the Royal House of David, of the Tribe of Judah, of the Hebrew people of Abraham, of the Tetrarchy of Galilee, of the Land of Canaan in the Roman Province of Syria-Judaea, of the God-trodden geographical region of Syria-Palaistinê part of the great Hebraic Promised Land to the Ethnon, is in the broadest sense, a Palestinian in the flesh.

@Rabbi Glickman
How can you be a rabbi, when judaism has no valid priesthood?
What is your lineage? Is there any jew with lineage valid for priesthood?
Why were you exiled from the promise land, rabbi? Wasn’t because you betrayed and rejected your God? Did anything change since then? For sure, you don’t even seem try to follow the 10 Commandments of Moses anymore, but spread degeneracy and evil all around the world.
There is even one of your kind (a rabbi) that owns a porn site…! You know who I am talking about Rabbi Glickman… What kind of “god” does this rabbi represent Rabbi Glickman?
Why does your illegal “state” of Ira-hell need to have military power and influence, if your g-d is on your side? Maybe because you know very well that you don’t have the real God on your side and you need human power instead? You know that the Israel of God never needed any military or walls, don’t you?
Do you really believe Jews are “the chosen people”? Were the countless Jews killed by God, as described in the books of the Torah, also “chosen”? What makes you think you are not just like them, and against Moses and all the prophets?
The real “chosen people” were the Apostles of the Church, descendants of Abraham in their majority, that recognized the divinity of Christ and His role as the Messiah, and gave their lives to spread His Gospel.
This Gospel, is nothing more than an upgrade to the ancient Torah, suited for a new generation of humans, able to love, care, and forgive. Unlike what humans at the times of Moses cared for: wealth, health, offspring, and other earthly things that end abruptly once you are dead. Do you really think God cares so much about those unimportant things?
What do you think your God chose you for, back when you hadn’t rejected Him, yet? To spread degeneracy, exploitation, death, destruction, and all kinds of evil, as the majority of your race does nowadays, or to do something similar to what the Apostles of the Church did?
You know that there are some Blessings and some Curses stated in your Torah, that were supposed to fall upon your heads, depending on how obedient you were to God, don’t you?
Do you think that, for the last 2000+ years, what has fallen upon the heads of the Jews were the Blessings or the Curses of the Torah? I have a clear opinion on the topic, but I won’t try to influence you. Think for yourself.
And do you really think something changed lately for the better, when it comes to you being obedient to God?
Does you religion have any real prophets anymore? Do you get any godly interventions, godly instructions, godly information, godly blessings? Or you only get the George Soros’ kind of instructions, interventions, and “blessings”?
There is nothing hostile you have against Brother Nathanael or other Christians, Rabbi Glickman. The real hostility you and your co-religionists have is against the real and true God and against yourselves. Just think about it…
Not chosen, John Hagee and countless other Xtian leaders and followers would disagree with you.
Hi Brother Nathanael,
I really love hearing your stories. I can listen to you all day long. I learn so much that I didn’t know. I love your authenticity, warmth, passion for truth, and your sincerity and no waffling.
Your stand for Christ is uplifting and encouraging. I remember you saying you once were in Brookline, MA. I call it the Hymietown of Massachusetts. I used to go to an orthodontist there every week, as I lived in Chelsea. I always wondered why, as a Christian, I never found that I fit in. I came from Poland and the people there at least in my family were very warm and hospitable. There is a Spanish word that describes it: simpatico.
There is no English translation for this word. My parents were Christian and I was baptized when I was 16. I left my church because they are Zionist. Once I learned about Zionism, it’s history and purpose, I could no longer support it. The last time I was there to show a Scripture I got the “talk to the hand” treatment so I never returned.
I really enjoy your videos and have been a fan for the past 6 years. I like your bold statements. You do not mince words or sugarcoat the truth.
As far as music goes we are of the same generation/age group. You really are cool, informative, knowledgeable and entertaining. Keep up the great work!!
