British survivalist Bear Grylls courted controversy in a Christmas message and advertisement for his new book in which he described Jesus's mother, Mary, as Palestinian refugee in a social media post.

In the now-deleted X post, Grylls explained that the holiday would celebrate the birth of a “Middle Eastern Refugee” Jesus, who changed the course of history.

Jesús judío

La realidad es que Jesús nació en el seno de una familia judía. Se educó, vivió y fue enterrado como judío, al igual que sus apóstoles. El 1° de enero se conmemora su circuncisión y la historia del cristianismo muestra que predicó como judío..

Hace unos días, el mundo festejó la Navidad, el nacimiento de Jesús y otra vez, como ocurre desde hace varios años, especialmente en la época navideña, la Autoridad Palestina con su presidente, Mahmoud Abbas, quien acaba de cumplir 17 años en el poder de los 4 que le correspondían por elección popular, procura convencer al mundo de una gran mentira, al trastornar la identidad a Jesús y afirmar que era palestino.

Arab legislator charts new course in Israeli politics

Mansour Abbas, head of the United Arab List (Ra’am Party), has taken Israeli politics in new directions. No Arab politician has had anything like the impact he has on Israeli politics. And because of his star turn as a power broker and deal maker, and his willingness to speak out, he’s now in the spotlight.

His ascent began when Abbas stepped into Israeli coalition politics, a first for an Arab legislator. He instantly became a player, given the narrow margins in Israel’s parliament. Israel’s Arab citizens make up more than 20 percent, or about 1.9

Exhausted, out of food: How 4 fugitives were caught, with help of Arab Israelis

Reports to cops by local residents who encountered the escapees were instrumental in their capture; trackers following discarded items and footprints in the dirt did the rest.

Five days into a national manhunt for six Palestinian security prisoners who escaped from a high-security jail in northern Israel, police captured two of the fugitives in Nazareth Friday night. Hours later, two others — including notorious terror commander Zakaria Zubeidi — were apprehended in the nearby town of Shibli–Umm al-Ghanam.

In both cases, Arab Israelis who encountered the fugitives reported them to

JERUSALEM (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has spent much of his long career casting Israel’s Arab minority as a potential fifth column led by terrorist sympathizers, is now openly courting their support as he seeks reelection in the country’s fourth vote in less than two years.

Few Arabs are likely to heed his call, underscoring the desperation of Netanyahu’s political somersault. But the relative absence of incitement against the community in this campaign and the potential breakup of an Arab party alliance could dampen

Netanyahu hace inusual visita a Nazaret para ganar el voto árabe; decenas protestan a su llegada

Enlace Judío – En su tercera visita a una ciudad árabe en dos semanas, el primer ministro de Israel, Benjamín Netanyahu dijo en Nazaret que “los ciudadanos árabes deben formar parte integral de la sociedad israelí”, al tiempo que destacó “la oportunidad de iniciar una nueva era de prosperidad, integración y seguridad entre judíos y árabes”, informó Haaretz.

Durante un discurso pronunciado en el municipio de Nazaret, Netanyahu se disculpó por sus comentarios durante su campaña electoral de 2015, cuando dijo que “los árabes se dirigen en masa a las urnas” en un intento de movilizar a votantes de derecha. Afirmó que sus declaraciones fueron distorsionadas, ya que trató de advertir que no se votara sólo por la Lista Conjunta.
