Ronald S. Lauder's speech 'in defense' of Christians

According to Lauder it's all Islam's fault.

Budapest convention: Lauder speaks out against growing assault on Christians

15 June 2014

BUDAPEST – Reciting a litany of assaults on Christians around the world, World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder has told a large-scale gathering of Israel’s Christian allies that he would continue to speak out against the violence and oppression that is engulfing Christians, especially in the Middle East. “I will speak out across the globe with world leaders and with ordinary citizens, and I will tell them that we will never tolerate any kind of anti-Christian threats, just as we will not tolerate anti-Semitism,” Lauder told the Jerusalem Day Convention at the Israel Allies European Summit in Budapest, adding, “Your fight is my fight.”

The WJC president added: “In Syria over the last two years, almost half-a-million peaceful Christian Arabs have been driven out. Many thousands have even been killed. In Sudan, a young Christian woman has been sentenced to death for her religious beliefs. She sits in prison, where she had to give birth to her child, and she awaits her sentence. In Lebanon, a country built by Christian Arabs, today the Christian community is terrorized by the growing cancer of Hezbollah, a terror organization that has stockpiled thousands of Iranian missiles, all aimed at Israel’s heart.

"And in Iran, Christians are persecuted for their religious beliefs …a Christian Minister sits in prison accused of preaching a religion other than Islam.” His speech was broadcast live around the world.

Lauder thanked the assembled Christians for their staunch support of Israel. “Let us show the world that we stand together, two people, Christians and Jews, united against terror,” he said. “Two people, Christians and Jews, will defend Israel. Two people, Christians and Jews, will protect Christian Arabs. … Thank you for your steadfast support of Israel and the Jewish people.”

Hungarian far-right party condemned

Lauder also condemned the Hungarian Jobbik Party, which emerged as the second-largest political force in the country in the recent European elections.

“I will call the Jobbik party what it truly is, a far-right extremist party that agitates against Roma, against Jews, and against our common Western values of decency and the protection of all religions.”

WJC CEO Robert Singer also addressed the summit at a gala dinner on Sunday evening. He told gathering that “Europe is at a crossroads as regards its Jewish communities. The Jewish communities of Europe are under attack verbally and sometimes physically and need sympathetic European Christians to speak out in support," said Singer.

The WJC has been at the forefront of inter-faith dialogue for decades. It works with the Israel Allies Foundation and the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus, a non-partisan group, to open formal and direct lines of communication between Israeli lawmakers and Christian leaders, organizations and political representatives around the world.

“Two people, Christians and (Talmudic) Jews, will defend (Christ-hating) Israel. Two people, Christians and (Talmudic) Jews, will protect Christian Arabs. … Thank you for your steadfast support of (Rabbinical) Israel and the (Talmudic) Jewish people.”

A call to war?

Ronald S. Lauder emphasis a point to Jorge Mario Bergoglio in 2008.

One of Francis' Talmudic buddies and president of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald S. Lauder, writes an op-ed for The New York Times, Who Will Stand Up for the Christians? While it is a valid question, we here at Call Me Jorge... smell something rotten. Forgive us, but every time someone from the WJC says or writes something it is to further their own Talmudic world agenda. Is this a clarion call for the West to fight another war on behalf of Israel?

Who Will Stand Up for the Christians?
by Ronald S. Lauder

WHY is the world silent while Christians are being slaughtered in the Middle East and Africa? In Europe and in the United States, we have witnessed demonstrations over the tragic deaths of Palestinians who have been used as human shields by Hamas, the terrorist organization that controls Gaza. The United Nations has held inquiries and focuses its anger on Israel for defending itself against that same terrorist organization. But the barbarous slaughter of thousands upon thousands of Christians is met with relative indifference.

The Middle East and parts of central Africa are losing entire Christian communities that have lived in peace for centuries. The terrorist group Boko Haram has kidnapped and killed hundreds of Christians this year — ravaging the predominantly Christian town of Gwoza, in Borno State in northeastern Nigeria, two weeks ago. Half a million Christian Arabs have been driven out of Syria during the three-plus years of civil war there. Christians have been persecuted and killed in countries from Lebanon to Sudan.

Historians may look back at this period and wonder if people had lost their bearings. Few reporters have traveled to Iraq to bear witness to the Nazi-like wave of terror that is rolling across that country. The United Nations has been mostly mum. World leaders seem to be consumed with other matters in this strange summer of 2014. There are no flotillas traveling to Syria or Iraq. And the beautiful celebrities and aging rock stars — why doesn’t the slaughter of Christians seem to activate their social antennas?

President Obama should be commended for ordering airstrikes to save tens of thousands of Yazidis, who follow an ancient religion and have been stranded on a mountain in northern Iraq, besieged by Sunni Muslim militants. But sadly, airstrikes alone are not enough to stop this grotesque wave of terrorism.

The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is not a loose coalition of jihadist groups, but a real military force that has managed to take over much of Iraq with a successful business model that rivals its coldblooded spearhead of death. It uses money from banks and gold shops it has captured, along with control of oil resources and old-fashioned extortion, to finance its killing machine, making it perhaps the wealthiest Islamist terrorist group in the world. But where it truly excels is in its carnage, rivaling the death orgies of the Middle Ages. It has ruthlessly targeted Shiites, Kurds and Christians.

“They actually beheaded children and put their heads on a stick” a Chaldean-American businessman named Mark Arabo told CNN, describing a scene in a Mosul park. “More children are getting beheaded, mothers are getting raped and killed, and fathers are being hung.”

This week, 200,000 Aramaeans fled their ancestral homeland around Nineveh, having already escaped Mosul.

The general indifference to ISIS, with its mass executions of Christians and its deadly preoccupation with Israel, isn’t just wrong; it’s obscene.

In a speech before thousands of Christians in Budapest in June, I made a solemn promise that just as I will not be silent in the face of the growing threat of anti-Semitism in Europe and in the Middle East, I will not be indifferent to Christian suffering. Historically, it has almost always been the other way around: Jews have all too often been the persecuted minority. But Israel has been among the first countries to aid Christians in South Sudan. Christians can openly practice their religion in Israel, unlike in much of the Middle East.

This bond between Jews and Christians makes complete sense. We share much more than most religions. We read the same Bible, and share a moral and ethical core. Now, sadly, we share a kind of suffering: Christians are dying because of their beliefs, because they are defenseless and because the world is indifferent to their suffering.

Good people must join together and stop this revolting wave of violence. It’s not as if we are powerless. I write this as a citizen of the strongest military power on earth. I write this as a Jewish leader who cares about my Christian brothers and sisters.

The Jewish people understand all too well what can happen when the world is silent. This campaign of death must be stopped.

Francis' upcoming Monday in Jerusalem

Francis is soon to be traveling to the Middle East where he will visit Jordan, the occupied Palestinian territories, and Israel from May 24th to May 26th. This trip is ostensibly taking place to further interfaith relations with the Eastern Orthodox religion. Of interest to us at Call Me Jorge... is the last day of Francis' trip which will be in Jerusalem. The official itinerary of the trip can be seen at the Vatican's website (click here) and the official website for the trip (click here). We hope to have coverage of the trip and several articles on what was said and done by Francis but not reported by either the catholic or the mainstream medias. One particular item in the schedule which was pointed out by Maurice Pinay in his blog post, Francis' Counterfeit Israel Pilgrimage Itinerary, is the following:

09:45 Laying of a wreath at Mount Herzl in Jerusalem

Maurice Pinay comments on this,

"I believe there's a mistake in the itinerary below; that Francis will lay a wreath at Yad Vashem (in deference to Holocaustianity, his true religion) rather than Mount Herzl as stated. Whatever the case, his presence at Mount Herzl will signify a stronger endorsement of Zionist fanaticism than any of his predecessors. In context, even the bolshevik radical Paul VI, whose papacy ended only 36 years ago, did not recognize the Zionist state at all."

Unlike Maurice Pinay, we do not think there is a mistake with the itinerary. We believe that Francis wants to lay a wreath at Mount Herzl to make a public statement. Francis, back when he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, sent his best and brightest seminarians and priests to Israel. In their itineraries was a visit to Mount Herzl. It was stated by the various authorities that this trip would be the first of many and would establish a new tradition for the catholic faith. We have found plenty of photos of world leaders laying wreaths at Mount Herzl. We shall find out soon if Francis is to lay a wreath at Mount Herzl.

A week after this entry was written but the day it was posted, we found the following in an Australian newspaper named, the Sydney News Herald. From the article, Rabbi, Muslim leader to accompany Pope on Middle East trip by Alvise Armellini,

"In Israel, Pope Francis is to visit the Wailing Wall and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Centre. He will not celebrate a public Mass in the country, but in a first for a visiting pontiff, he will lay flowers at the tomb of Theodor Herzl, the founder of the global Zionist movement."

And also, the following on the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs website which published Francis' itinerary (click here) for his trip to Israel which states on 26 May 2014,

09:45-09:55 – Lay a wreath at grave of Theodor Herzl, at Mount Herzl (with the President and Prime Minister)

Yesterday in, update on the White Crucifixion, we showed how Francis' favorite painting contains a rabbinical blasphemy against the Holy Name and soon it seems Francis is going to lay flowers on the tomb of the father of Zionism. Are there any Catholics left in the Vatican?

(Herzl at the Zionist Congress.)

Mount Herzl sometimes referred to as the "Mount of Remembrance" is Israel's national cemetery. It contains a memorial for soldiers killed in the service of the State of Israel as well as a museum and its centerpiece, the tomb of Theodor Herzl.
