🇵🇸 🇮🇱 🇪🇬 Israel moved its “Yellow Line” buffer zone deeper into Palestinian territory in Gaza [dashed yellow line is where they were as of a few weeks ago] even though the solid line is where they’re supposed to be per the Sharm El Sheikh Agreement with Egypt’s General Intelligence Service (G.I.S.) & the U.S. White House. Israel’s Minister of Defense Katz has also been talking about the return of Israeli settlements to Gaza, and has cited the prevention of a repeat of the 10/7/2023 events as the reason for a deeper buffer zone [don’t ask me how further IDF occupation will prevent that]. Egypt’s G.I.S. for its part has managed to unify all the various Palestinian factions in Cairo in recent days to form a Palestinian government to run Gaza as opposed to having some sort of foreign-imposed committee [which is what the U.S. White House had preferred] Israel also has serious differences with Egypt on Phase II of the Sharm El Sheikh Agreement, the militarization of both sides of the border, the IDF-occupied “Philadelphi Corridor” [Gaza’s border with Egypt], Rafah Crossing, and the $35B energy deal [Israel hasn’t approved export certificates for US firm Chevron yet as far as I know]. Some other disagreements include files such as Lebanon where Egypt’s G.I.S. has held high profile mediation talks involving Hezbollah/Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) & Israel as well as the US; both to prevent an internal conflict as well as an Israeli offensive. 📎 CAIRO X

🤱 ✝️ 🎄 A Charlie Brown Christmas - True Meaning

In 1965, CBS executives were terrified of A Charlie Brown Christmas special. They told creator Charles Schulz that having Linus read from the Gospel of Luke was "too religious" for television and would offend the audience. Schulz, a devout Christian, refused to back down. He told them: "If we don't tell the true meaning of Christmas, who will?" It aired, unedited. It became the second most-watched show of the year and won an Emmy. Even in the 60s, the world wanted to erase Christ from Christmas. One man's integrity kept Him on the screen for 50+ years. - Trad West

📖 ✝️ 🐑 Many people don’t know that when the Bible says Jesus was laid in a manger, the Greek word for manger is “phatnē” which refers to a feeding trough, and many in Bethlehem were made of stone. Here’s what’s powerful: Shepherds in the Bethlehem region were known for raising sacrificial lambs for the Temple. When a lamb was born, it was carefully inspected for blemishes and often placed in a manger or trough to protect it from injury because a damaged lamb could not be offered to God. So when the Lamb of God entered the world, He was laid in the *very place* where sacrificial lambs were kept. And who did the angels announce His birth to? Shepherds. Not kings. Not priests. Shepherds—men who understood sacrifice, blood, purity, and lambs without blemish. When the angels said, “You will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger” (Luke 2:12), it was a sign they would immediately recognize. This child wasn’t just a baby. He was the final Lamb. The One who would take away the sin of the world. From the moment He was born, Jesus was marked for sacrifice—not by men, but by God. ✨ “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” (John 1:29) 📎 Moe Bible Verses

📖 🌍 ⛓️ Volume and direction of the trans-Atlantic slave trade from all African to all American regions This map summarizes and combines the many different paths by which captives left Africa and reached the Americas. While there were strong connections between particular embarkation and disembarkation regions, it was also the case that captives from any of the major regions of Africa could disembark in almost any of the major regions of the Americas. Even captives leaving Southeast Africa, the region most remote from the Americas, could disembark in mainland North America, as well as the Caribbean and South America. The data in this map are based on estimates of the total slave trade rather than documented departures and arrivals. https://www.slavevoyages.org/blog/-volume-and-direction-of-the-transatlantic-slave-trade/123

🤓📆 — Should be noted that Sokoto per se used to be the home for the largest ever Fulani Caliphate after the Fulanis abolished all the traditional Hausa Sunni monarchies and established a Pan-Islamic Entity, enslaving all the peoples across the Gold Coast and the Gulf of Guinea until the British kicked in and destroyed the Caliphate by force

#BREAKING 🇺🇸❌🏴❗️ — America is REMAINING and EXPANDING: Minutes ago, United States President Donald J. Trump announced that United States Air Force just conducted, under his orders, massive air strikes against Islamic State Terrorists in Northern Nigeria whom have been preying after Nigerian Christians for years!

Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries! I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was. The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many more if their slaughter of Christians continues. DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

📊 🇮🇱 🇹🇷 Israel Ranks Turkey as Second-Largest Threat A JPPI survey shows Israelis rank Türkiye as the second-largest threat after Iran, citing defense industry advances and regional operations. The poll also finds 50% favor greater independence from U.S. pressure amid Gaza war fallout The survey underscores how Türkiye’s operational footprint beyond its own borders has factored into Israeli perceptions. Military engagements and security operations stretching from Syria to Africa were cited as evidence of a wider strategic reach, reinforcing the sense that Türkiye is no longer confined to a narrow defensive role. https://clashreport.com/world/articles/israel-poll-ranks-turkiye-as-threat-owyqg6jhsva

✝️ 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Israel is banning Christians in Gaza from their annual Christmas pilgrimage to Bethlehem for the third consecutive year. Only two churches are currently operating in Gaza, the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Porphyrius, and the Catholic Church of the Holy Family. They are currently sheltering approximately 900 Christians who fled their homes since the beginning of the Israeli bombardment of the Strip. Gaza’s Christian community, which is among the oldest in the world, only numbers at about 1,000 individuals. Like so many others in Gaza’s Christian community, Ayad was personally affected by the bombing of the Greek Orthodox Church. “The moment the church was bombed was difficult for all Christians and Muslims in Gaza,” he stressed to BreakThrough News. “They crossed all boundaries in their targeting and spared no one. In that bombing, I lost my cousin, her husband, and their child. An entire family was wiped off the civil registry… That’s why we decided to leave until the war ended, but the war dragged on.” https://breakthroughnews.org/three-years-without-christmas-in-gaza/
