Israelis invade Greek Orthodox Church in Jerusalem — Israeli police do NOTHING. As in Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” some people are more equal than others.
Historical reminder: when Israel was created by driving the native Palestinian people OUT, today called “ethnic cleansing,” it pledged solemnly to the world to respect all the religious sites of Christianity and Islam. But nope.

Greece Urges ‘Appropriate Action’ After Israelis Allegedly Break Into Jerusalem Church
The Greek Foreign Ministry calls on Israel to act against a group of ‘approximately fifty Israelis broke into the gate and barriers and trespassed on the chapel on the hill of Zion,’ according to the Jerusalem Patriarch
The Greek Foreign Ministry called on Israel to take “appropriate action” after a group of Israelis allegedly broke into a property belonging to the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem on Mount Zion, threatening to kill a guard at the site.

This disrespect and harassment of Christians has been going on for decades, btw. In January 2020, President Emanuel Macron (whom I otherwise detest) at least became irate when he was told that he cannot visit the French Basilica of St. Anne, built by the Crusaders in the 1200s, a building which is the property of France, except with Israeli permission and Israeli police escort, not with his own security men.
Something similar happened with President Jacques Chirac in 1996. “Understand this, little goy ‘president,’ you may enter what you call ‘your’ church only if we, the jews, say you can.”
