Persia – I had intended to put an X-post up from someone called Munel Lunière. It has video, about which she says:

‘To the whole world:
This is the real Iran. For years and years we all lived like this. You cannot ever imagine something close to what happened to us.
Don’t look away. I know. It’s brutal’

I’ve decided not to post the link and have chosen instead to post a different X-post showing some payback..

“I used to be a Zionist. I used to be a dispensational Christian, for my entire life,” @CarriePrejean1 told @TuckerCarlson, until she started studying the early Church Fathers. “Learning about dispensationalism led me to the early Church Fathers and I became Catholic.” “We are the new Israel,” Carrie said. “That’s what the Church teaches,” and she’s exactly right.

The true Judæa, then, is the Church of Christ,” and further, that “the true Sion is the Church of Christians” (Exposition on Psalm 76):

Even Vatican II used the phrase “the new Israel” in reference to the Church (cf. Lumen Gentium, art. 9; Ad Gentes, n. 5). God bless you, Carrie! Keep fighting the good fight (1 Tim. 6:12)! Video source: |https://youtube.com/watch?v=31Lhq-QlP8s&t=5793s“
