BREAKING: Religious Israelis Attempt Unauthorized Entry into Saints James Monastery. On Sunday morning, June 8, 2025, at approximately 8:00 a.m., a group of Orthodox Jews attempted to enter the Armenian Convent in Jerusalem without permission. The incident occurred near the entrance to the Saints James Monastery, a sacred and... private compound within the Armenian Quarter. According to a community member who intervened, when the group was told that the area is private church property and entry is strictly prohibited, one of them reportedly replied, “This is our country, we can go wherever we want.” After a tense exchange, the group eventually left the premises.show more

🚨 Colonial Arrogance in Jerusalem’s Armenian Quarter On June 8, 2025, a group of religious Israelis attempted to force their way into Saints James Monastery, a sacred and private Armenian Christian compound in Jerusalem’s Old City. When a community member informed them it was private church property, one of Israelis reportedly replied: “This is our country, we can go wherever we want.” Let that sink in. This was not an innocent visit. It was a colonial assertion of domination — the belief that any space, even sacred ground belonging to others for centuries, is theirs to seize at will. Here’s what they need to be reminded of: •Armenians have maintained continuous residence in Jerusalem since the 4th century CE — over 1,700 years without interruption. •The Armenian Quarter has the longest unbroken record of land ownership in the Old City. •By comparison, Jewish presence — while historically deep — was interrupted multiple times (70–638 CE, 1099–1187 CE, 1948–1967 CE). •Greeks, Copts, and Muslims also experienced disruptions, particularly during the Crusades. Only the Armenians maintained an unbroken custodianship. The Armenian Patriarchate legally owns this land, recognized both under Ottoman-era waqf law and under international legal protections following the British Mandate. Entry without permission is not only a violation of private property, but a breach of international law and religious protections guaranteed under the: 🔹 UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage 🔹 Status Quo Agreement of 1852, safeguarding religious sites 🔹 1949 Geneva Conventions (IV) protecting cultural and religious institutions during occupation 🔹 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18 (freedom of religion and protection of places of worship) And yet, a settler mindset now emboldens people to declare: “We can go wherever we want.” This is the language of erasure, of conquest, of spiritual vandalism. This is not the behavior of pilgrims — this is the behavior of colonizers. If this had happened at a synagogue, mosque, or Catholic shrine, international outrage would follow. But the Armenian community is expected to stay silent — invisible, expendable. Not this time. We will not be erased. We will not be intimidated. We were here before Zionism, before Crusaders, before nation-states — and we will still be here when this era’s arrogance collapses into the dust of history. Hands off the Armenian Quarter. This land is not yours. Never was. #HandsOffArmenianQuarter #ArmenianResilience #StopSettlerColonialism #JerusalemIsNotYours #UNESCOProtection #ReligiousFreedom #SacredNotYours #ArmeniansInJerusalem

@SecRubio the Armenian community (both domestic and diaspora) continuously gets terrorized by the State of Israel.

Respect to the man who is standing up against the creatures! ✊❤️💪🇦🇲🙏 Teaching these malakas a few lessons will be a good beginning.

Jews are the most Anti-Christians, Anti-Armenians, racists, full of hate, a mental cult full of Armenophobia.

@abierkhatib @DanBilzerian they going after your people too now

I hope you can organise for more protection.

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Matthew 23:33

Israeli malakia at 1000% Give them a proper beating and a few constructive words - who knows, they may listen to you eventually

Jews are despicable, they can’t control their inbred self’s. Armenians have been there since Jesus birth. Wha can’t expect these dirty Jew boys to act human they are not.
