Behind the Zionist Spin

The plain TRUTH about Israel's Demonic 'War'

(... from a Catholic on the front line)

Thanks to its unlimited funds (including the billions in aid money it receives annually from hapless US taxpayers) Israel is able to wage a relentless infowar to convince the world that genocide is not genocide, starvation is not starvation, anyone who dares to condemn Zionism is "anti-semitic", blah, blah. Drop Site News reports:

"Publicly available government contracts show that Israel’s advertising bureau, which reports to the prime minister’s office, has embarked on a mass advertising and public messaging effort to conceal the hunger crisis. The push includes... a high-dollar spending spree on paid advertising, yielding tens of millions for Google, YouTube, X, Meta, and other tech platforms."

For example: a $45 million contract between Google/YouTube and Netanyahu's office was initiated furtively last June. Social media "influencers" are also contracted for big bucks; earning between $7,000 to $11,000 for each and every social media post that denounces and smears truth-tellers.

Asked on the Joe McClane podcast if the Israeli attack on Holy Family Catholic Church in Gaza was a retaliatory attack ― after Church leaders stood together in condemnation of an attack on the Christian village of Taybeh (CO, Aug-Sept 2025, pp. 77-78) ― JASON JONES, head of the "Vulnerable People Project" feeding the starving in Gaza, responded as follows: providing first-hand testimony of the REALITY behind the false narratives of the Zionist-funded media. (Our transcript. His emphases.)

I think that makes sense. You know, in the United States of America we've been really the target for decades now, of really aggressive propaganda from the state of Israel. And, a lot of Catholics, I'm sure a lot of Catholics who listen to your show, for much of their life consumed Protestant and Evangelical media, where they were influenced by the heresy, I think the apostasy of Christian Zionism. So it's hard for a lot of American Christians to understand what the rest of the world can see: that for seventy years the state of Israel has been brutal, destroying hundreds of churches, hundreds of monasteries. Since the founding of the state of Israel we've seen the Christian population evaporate in the Holy Land. I was in the West Bank in January, and I really thought their fears were exaggerated, and I was hopeful for the Trump administration, but the Christians in Bethlehem, the Catholics in Bethlehem said, what Israel is doing to Gaza they're going to do to us next. We saw this in Taybeh, the Holy See, the religious communities standing together, we see an active retaliation targetting the only Catholic church in Gaza.

Since the war started, our organisation, the Vulnerable People Project, initially we began evacuating pregnant women, wounded children, wounded women. Now, this year we've been delivering food, at least one hot meal a week, every Sunday, to the Christians in Gaza. They all receive their one hot meal a week from the Vulnerable People Project. We distribute thousands of meals every week to orphans. There are 18,000 children in Gaza that don't have a living relative.

So it's hard for a lot of Americans to understand that this is brutal, it's intentional, and it's an act of ethnic cleansing. And these Israeli extremists, that's what they are, they're Israeli extremists, they are more offended by the Christian presence in the Holy Land, because of our belief in the Trinity, than they are by Muslims. And I've witnessed with my own eyes the brutality that the Christians in the Holy Land face. I've witnessed Christians in Bethlehem having their homes destroyed, guns pushed in their face, women pushed down and beaten by these Settlers, who come from the United States, with just this entitlement that they're going to brutalise the indigenous people of the land. And when you're looking at the Christians, these are the descendants of the oldest Christian community in the world. Their families have been there, their families walked with Jesus Christ. They're the descendants of those who were in the Upper Room. And then these settlers coming from the United States, and from Ukraine, and from Russia, they show up and they brutalise our co-religionists.

And so many people, and I'll be blunt, many people listening to this show [and reading CO! - Ed.] right now have been cheering on the brutalisation of our fellow Catholics. Ambassador Huckerby [U.S. ambassador to Israel, a fervent Evangelical Zionist] just this week mocked the Irish, because Ireland has had enough, as Italy has had enough, and they're placing sanctions [on Israel]. Huckerby tweeted out, the Irish must be drunk ― promoting this old WASP Protestant stereotype of Catholics as drunks. Told them to sober up, that they'd fall into a vat of Guinness.

And we as Catholics, we're not tribalists. The Vulnerable People Project serves Jews, Christians, Muslims, Yazidis, and others. But we do have a real responsibility to care for our own. And to defend the oldest Catholic community in the world. And that's the Catholic community in the West Bank, Gaz, and Jerusalem. We've seen the Israelis steal a church in Jerusalem this year. They've bombed churches in Syria, and Lebanon, in Gaza. They're brutalising Christians in the West Bank. And the Church in America is silent. Our bishops need to speak up and echo the Holy Father. Prominent Catholics with big media followings need to take a risk, and be daring, and advocate for our co-religionists. The Christians in Gaza are starving. Our team disappeared. We're missing employees in the West Bank, right now. Our VPP team are missing. They've been missing for two weeks. We lost an employee this week in Nigeria, a security officer was shot and killed. [Islamic terrorist] Boku Haram is raging in Nigeria, Israel is raging in Gaza and the West Bank. And finally, we're seeing more and more Catholics speak up, and the Holy Father Pope Leo's been great. In fact, I'm from the south side of Chicago, and if you go to our website vulnerablepeopleproject.com, you can see, kind of to thank him, we printed the White Sox [baseball team] logo on all of the trays. We also printed out "Thank you, Pope Leo" posters, just to thank him. And while our team was returning from that, they got pinned down for 36 hours by Israeli snipers. We thought we lost them, too. Because it was the same week that 50 other aid workers were killed.

So, this is all intentional. Remember, this is the government that blew up pagers [fitted with explosives by Mossad that exploded all over Lebanon in Sept. 2024, killing 12, including 2 children]. They've bombed every Christian institution. Every church and every hospital in Gaza ― repeatedly. Israeli snipers shot and killed women at church, in church. No explanation, no apology. Quote unquote "accident" after "accident." In fact, you can go to our website, we have the Voices of Gaza, where we evacuated wounded Christians and then we interviewed them in a clandestine location, about a year ago. And these poor Christian women were looking at social media as Israeli soldiers were wearing their underwear, breaking crosses, smashing statues of the Blessed Virgin Mary in their houses, spray painting pornographic graffiti.

And then there's so many "Catholic influencers," even Catholic writers for some mainstream right-wing publications, that will apologise for every crime. Pay attention to who's doing this.

You know, when Christians die they'll go to social media and say, 'war is always hell.' When Israel is caught committing war crimes, for example, Israeli soldiers are caught, on camera, raping Palestinians, they'll say, 'well these things always happen.' While at the same time they're trying to foment anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, and anti-Muslim prejudice and hatred.

But the reality on the ground is, it's just the Palestinians are suffering. This beautiful church, Holy Family Catholic church, when we first started working with them, they said, 'Listen, we're eating 800 calories a day. The Orthodox church is only getting about 650 calories a day. I know you're a Catholic apostolate, but can you bring food to the Orthodox church first?' They're only getting 800 calories a day, but they said can you bring it [food] to the Orthodox church first.

Now we're providing their water needs. All the water needs for the Christian community in Gaza. And they said, 'Do you mind we set up a water station for our Muslim families, friends and neighbours.' Of course not. You know, when a friend of mine's sister, dropped from heat stroke as she was walking in the "safe zone," it was Muslim Palestinian men that rushed to save this Christian woman, but then were shot at by Israeli snipers. And my friend's 18-year-old sister, she was given permission to walk out, and leave, and she was going to be attending university in the United States, and joining her brother at Catholic University of America, it was Muslim Palestinian men trying to save her, and it was Israeli snipers shooting at them when they tried to save her.

But the reality is, it's one community, they want to be seen as one community. And none of them voted for Hamas. Only six per cent of the people living in Gaza voted for Hamas. Fifty per cent of the population is under 18, and more than that wasn't voting age the last time there was an election. We now know that Israel and the United States supported Hamas, was encouraging the funding of Hamas, because they didn't want a two-state solution, and they didn't want the secular PA [Palestinian Authority] to win.

So this is what we get. And who's suffering? The people of Gaza. And we have Americans who are drunk on the heresy of Christian Zionism. What's allowing all of this to happen is a brutal, ethno-nationalist, repulsive ideology, Zionism, that foments racism and hatred. How many times have we heard Evangelicals say things like, 'the Palestinian people are the reincarnation of the Amalekites that they have to be eradicated for there to be peace.' [see CO, June/July 2024, pp. 14-15] This is not how Christians talk. And the Palestinian community has been indigenous for centuries. And many of these people go back to the time of Christ.

Pope Leo has inspired me, with how relentless he has been with his comments. But who has the power to stop this ethnic cleansing and genocide? It's us, as American citizens. Because we are allowing this to happen.

[Asked, "Do you think Trump's doing enough?" Jones replied]

No. No. He's lost me. He lost me on this. He's lost me on Ukraine. I did a campaign for him and I campaigned for him in the Middle Eastern Christian community. And I promised them that we would see a ceasefire in Gaza. In fact I was called by someone on the Trump campaign, who said 'we know what you're doing for the Palestinians, keep it up.' And I went to Pennsylvania and I campaigned with the Middle Eastern Christians, and I said we will get a ceasefire. We were promised a ceasefire. Would things have been better with Kamala? No. It's business as usual, though. We're seeing business as usual. But we as Catholics must be the voice of the persecuted. The oldest Catholic community in the world is being starved and bombed out of existence.
