Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos’ Habit Of Demonizing Israel.
 +
David Lange.
 +
 +
August 13, 2025.
 +
Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos, in his latest bid to demonize the Jewish state. Needless to say, Stephanopoulos provided the bitching and moaning against Israel that led Qatarlson to have her on as his guest to begin with.
 +
 +
Instead, I will tell you what you need to know about this clearly nasty – yet handsome – woman.
 +
 +
Firstly, she defends Hamas and justifies October 7.
 +
 +
That should be enough to disqualify her to be a credible source on anything, let alone the treatment of Christians in Israel, given Hamas’ well documented persecution of Christians – including targeted killings [https://www.christianitytoday.com/2023/10/wither-hamas-israel-war-palestinian-christian/] and violent attacks, harassment and coercion [https://cufi.org/issue/pray-christians-threatened-violence-territories-control-palestinian-authority-hamas/], and the population decline of Christians in Gaza [https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-834585].
 +
 +
Not surprisingly, Stephanopoulos has a history of falsely accusing Israel of all manner of things while defending terrorists. For example [https://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/media-monitor/novaks-nun/2005/04/20/]...
 +
 +
Stephanopolous is the sister of former White House aide George Stephanopoulos, and has bragged that her brother has interceded on her behalf with the White House and its National Security Council. And the same article reveals something that is less surprising about her:
 +
 +
''Sister Maria, an American nun in a black habit, has not had a shower in 13 days.''
 +
 +
In short: a Hamas apologist, serial liar about Israel, and self-proclaimed 13-day non-showerer – no wonder she stinks.

Today I learned that George Stephanopoulos has a sister named Mother Agapia Stephanopoulos who is a Russian Orthodox nun who moved to the Holy Land in the 1990s and just appeared on Tucker Carlson's podcast in order to tell let us that Hamas is totally misunderstood.

France: Olive tree planted in memory of Ilan Halimi has been cut down.

Anonymous persons cut down the olive tree that was planted in the Paris area in 2011 in memory of Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man who was murdered in 2006.

 +
Published: Aug 15, 2025, 3:00 PM (GMT+3)
 +
 +
Security camera footage shows unknown persons cutting down an olive tree, which was planted in the Parc des Senteurs in Epinay-sur-Seine, near Paris, in 2011 in memory of the late Ilan Halimi, a young Jewish man who was murdered in 2006.
 +
 +
The olive tree was planted in a ceremony attended by the Chief Rabbi of France and members of the Jewish community and dedicated to the memory of Halimi who was abducted and tortured for 24 days before dying of his wounds on February 13, 2006. The memorial plaque at the base of the tree remained intact.
 +
 +
French President Emmanuel Macron was quick to condemn the act: "The cutting down of the tree in memory of Ilan Halimi is an attempt to kill him a second time. It will not happen: the nation will not forget this French boy who died because he was Jewish. Every measure will be taken to punish this act of hate. In the face of antisemitism: the Republic is always uncompromising."
 +
 +
Epinay-sur-Seine Mayor Hervé Chevreau stated that he has no doubt the incident was motivated by antisemitism. “It was well known that this olive tree honored Ilan Halimi,” he said, adding that a formal complaint had been filed for “destruction of property intended for public use or decoration.”
 +
 +
Chevreau pledged that the tree would be replanted and that the city would continue to honor the young man’s memory, a powerful symbol in the fight against antisemitism.

Whistleblower: UN Blocking Gaza Aid, Not IDF.

An international aid worker submitted a whistleblower complaint to the USAID Inspector-General alleging that the UN, WFP, and associated international aid programs were effectively obstructing aid by refusing to work with the IDF despite repeated appeals, according to a report today (Friday) by Fox News.
 +
The whistleblower provided a "firsthand eyewitnessing of senior Israel Defense Forces (IDF) officials offering any support necessary, including security protection and coordination, to representatives from the World Food Programme (WFP) and the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) only to have WFP and OCHA respond that they were not prepared to discuss such coordination."
 +
 +
The whistleblower then explained the legal basis of his complaint to the head of USAID: "I urge you to launch an independent investigation into this matter to determine the extent to which U.N. agencies, by refusing to coordinate with the IDF on essential issues, including security, are abusing U.S. taxpayer funds rather than using them to deliver the aid the American people are donating – and whether such actions are being taken independently by U.N. officials in Gaza or at the direction of the U.N. Secretary General or other senior U.N. officials in New York."

An online trend mocking Israel has spread among Shiite pilgrims and social media users, drawing criticism from Iraqi leaders who say it politicizes religious rituals.
 +

The so-called “missile trend” began in the holy city of Karbala during the Arbaeen pilgrimage, a Shiite commemoration held 40 days after the death of Husayn ibn Ali, the sect’s founder. Pilgrims posted videos imitating Iranian missile strikes on Israel during last June’s war, with similar clips later shared by pro-Iranian users in other countries.

Homeland Security accused of tweeting antisemitic dog whistles.
 +
Recent US Department of Homeland Security posts spark backlash for referencing antisemitic tropes, including allusions to a white nationalist book.
 +
Andrew Lapin, JTA.
 +
Published: Aug 16, 2025, 10:06 PM (GMT+3)
 +
 +
Over the weekend, the US Department of Homeland Security’s X account appeared to reference an antisemitic dog whistle. And it wasn’t the first time that happened this summer.
 +
 +
“Which way, American man?” the department’s official page posted Sunday, over a political cartoon from 1936 called “Uncle Sam at the Crossroads.”
 +
 +
The post, a recruitment ad for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, alluded to the phrase “Which way, Western man?” — the title of a 1978 book steeped in antisemitic conspiracy theories and explicit threats against Jews. As a social media meme, the phrase has been used to ridicule the “woke,” feminism and immigrants.
 +
 +
In its own X post Wednesday, the Anti-Defamation League called the “Which way” reference “the latest problematic ICE recruitment post from the X account of the Department of Homeland Security.” The ADL cited several problems with it, including the reference to the 1978 book by William Gayley Simpson, whom the organization calls a “white supremacist and antisemite.”
 +
 +
The “American man” post came a month after another controversial post from DHS reading “Remember your Homeland’s Heritage,” with both “H”s capitalized — an alignment that both progressive outlets and X’s own AI chatbot Grok theorized could be an illusion to “HH,” a shorthand for “Heil Hitler” deployed by neo-Nazis.
 +
 +
“HH capitalization … and a painting symbolizing white colonial expansion over Native lands mirrors known white supremacist dogwhistles,” Grok wrote in response to one user.
 +
 +
Multiple Trump administration officials have documented ties to antisemitic and white-supremacist circles and ideologies. Trump’s nominee to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics, announced this week, “has repeatedly appeared in front of the massive portrait of Adolf Hitler’s favorite battleship during media interviews,” the Daily Beast reported.
 +
 +
Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a Jewish Telegraphic Agency request for comment. In a statement to CNN, spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said, “Calling everything you dislike ‘Nazi propaganda’ is tiresome,” and went on to describe the intended message of the “American man” post: “Uncle Sam, who represents America, is at a crossroads, pondering which way America should go.”
 +
 +
The posts reflect a larger effort by DHS and ICE, who are seeing a massive budget increase and hiring spree under President Trump, to use nostalgic language and images depicting American “culture” and “heritage” as under attack from outsiders. As part of its ICE recruitment efforts, DHS has employed numerous works of art depicting frontier life and other American idylls — often without permission from the artists or their estates.
 +
 +
Other images used by DHS, such as John Gast’s 1872 painting “American Progress,” are positive depictions of concepts like Manifest Destiny. DHS itself does not have such a lengthy history: It was formed in 2002 in response to the 9/11 attacks, largely by consolidating offices from other departments.
 +
 +
Critics from groups like the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights say the DHS posts use coded language and motifs popular in online white supremacist communities, with some overlap with Christian nationalism: One video overlays a Bible verse over footage of ICE agents. DHS has claimed to receive 100,000 ICE applications since launching its campaign.

Qatar imprisons Baha’i leader for casting ‘doubt on the foundations of the Islamic religion.’

 +
Qatar sentenced the leader of the country’s Baha’i community on Wednesday to five years imprisonment after he allegedly made a social media post which was said to “cast doubt on the foundations of the Islamic religion,” according to UN officials, Baha’i organizations, and international media reports.
 +
 +
Remi Rowhani, 71, was first detained on April 28, and an informed source told Human Rights Watch that the Qatari courts had denied Rowhani’s lawyer’s request to review court documents outlining the charges and evidence against him.
 +
 +
The Baha’i International Community said the posts discussed “principles such as justice and the equality of men and women, honoring parents and raising children with good manners, and calling for good deeds and service to humanity.”
 +
 +
Rowhani was also charged with violating social principles and values using information technology, under Article 8 of the 2014 Cybercrime Prevention Law, and disseminating material that calls and promotes the adoption of “destructive principles,” under Article 47(b) of the 1979 Law on Publications and Publishing, based on court documents reviewed by HRW.
 +
 +
On Wednesday, a three-judge panel of Qatar’s Supreme Judiciary Council found Rowhani guilty and rejected defense attempts for leniency.
 +
 +
The 71-year-old faith leader reportedly suffers from a heart condition, leading to the defense to request for leniency against him….
