BEFORE YOU GET MAD, FIND OUT WHY HE DID THIS.
The priest who spoke for us all:
Cleric goes viral after giving protesters the finger while protecting worshippers from far-left mob at his church
An Italian priest has gone viral after flipping off protesters while protecting his congregation from a far-Left mob.
The priest, identified as 65-year-old Father Giannicola Maria Simone of the Saint Alexander of Zebedia church in the heart of Milan, was seen giving a protester the finger.
Footage showed a masked and hooded young man swearing at the priest.
Fr Simone was then seen calmly returning the gesture as he stood outside the ancient place of worship.
The incident took place last weekend, amid violence across Italy inspired by the riots seen in France.
Speaking to Corriere della Sera, an Italian newspaper, the priest said he allowed many people seeking protection to come into the church: 'They weren't worshippers, but tourists and other passersby. They stayed here until the chaos passed.
'As these young people were walking by, someone gave me the middle finger. They're kids, so I'm not surprised. I gave them the middle finger back, but without any violent intentions or the risk of sparking further anger.'
When asked whether he repented for the gesture, he said: 'No, I don't think we should talk about repentance. If I had thrown a punch, yes, but I've never raised my hand to anyone, not even in the most difficult moments.

Last year I was attacked in Paris by a pro-Hamas hate mob. They were screaming “F*** Israel, F*** USA”. This hate and violence was spreading like wildfire.
And now, the same mob is waving the same flags and chanting the same chants while Paris burns.
This was never just about Israel. It was never just about Jews. This is a war on the West and the freedom and values we hold dear. I said it then and I’ll say it again: wake up. This has to be stopped.

France.
If we want this in America, just keep on pretending there isn't an existential theological and social crisis on our doorstep, and we can all go home for tea and scones.
Or else lock in.

An Unexpected Cross ✡️✝️
I am a Jewish woman. And for the past two weeks, I have carried a cross on my chest.
My surgeon drew it during my breast reconstruction, a simple anatomical marking.
But every time I look in the mirror, I see something more. I see the Christians who have stood beside the Jewish people when so much of the world turned away. Those who have defended us, prayed for us, and reminded us that we are not alone.
And then I learned something extraordinary. In ancient Hebrew, the letter tav was once written as a cross. In the Book of Ezekiel, a mark was placed upon the righteous to protect them from destruction. A mark of survival. It meant: You shall live.
I thought of the Righteous Among the Nations, the brave Christians who risked everything to save Jewish children during the Holocaust. Some sheltered them under Christian identities and symbols, giving them a second chance at life.
And now, as I heal from Stage 0 breast cancer (after this surgery, I am cured and doing great), I find myself carrying this unexpected symbol over my own heart. The cross is not my religious symbol. But the love, protection, and solidarity it has come to represent to me are universal.
Sometimes the most meaningful messages are the ones we never intended to receive. And sometimes, healing comes with unexpected reminders of who stands beside you.
Different faiths. Shared humanity. And a second chance at life. ✡️✝️

You Could Not Even Give Us One Day to Mourn: An Open Letter to Mayor Mamdani
Mr. Mamdani,
I have often written that your anti-Zionism is blatant antisemitism. But today, the anniversary of October 7, I write about something much deeper – your lack of humanity.
In your statement today, you spend far more time falsely accusing Israel of genocide than grieving for the Israeli dead. This evening, I viewed the raw footage of that day – much of it filmed by the terrorists themselves – of the brutal murders of some of the 1,200 innocent Israelis mercilessly slaughtered.
You were personally invited to attend this viewing by Israel’s Consul General – but declined.
Had you attended, you would have seen Hamas terrorists sawing off an Israeli soldier's head. And you could not even give us this one day to mourn.
You would have seen a terrorist bludgeoning an already slain Israeli civilian with a hoe, over and over. And you could not even give us this one day.
You would have seen a terrorist calling his mother in Gaza, telling her I murdered ten Jews with my own hands today. I'm a hero. And you could not even give us this one day.
You would have seen a lifeless, naked Israeli woman, surrounded by terrorists shouting with glee as they humiliated her body. And you could not even give us this one day.
You would have seen terrorists firing into cars, murdering Israelis point-blank, and then shooting them again and again. And you could not even give us this one day.
You would have seen hostages loaded onto a Hamas truck, surrounded by hundreds of Gazan civilians shouting for joy at their capture. And you could not even give us this one day.
You would have seen young women and men fleeing for their lives from the Nova Festival as terrorists hunted them down. And you could not even give us this one day.
Today I not only rend my garment in mourning for the 1,200 innocent souls, but I also rend it for the millions around the world who celebrate this day of bestial murder of Jews because they are Jews.
And, I rend it for you, Mr. Mayor, the leader of our city, who offered empty words of comfort, words dwarfed by your accusations against Israel.
Today I do not cry out against your distorted positions on Israel. No: I am crying out against your lack of humanity, your lack of decency.
One day, Mr. Mamdani. Just one day.
