stay weapons now as well. it has never officially admitted that he has nuclear weapons, but the country is widely believed to possess around 90 warheads. is ready. politicians reported the use the doomsday weapons to effect, to the nukes these roles on the ledge. atomic policy has been called the assumption option in the media, suggesting that the country would use nukes only as a last resort if its own territories overwhelmed by evading forces. and the reaction to the statement is suddenly move up was noting as had cause of not being condemned in the west. and that's in stock contrast to how american claims that roster could use nukes in the ukraine sport, the west, and media into a frenzy last year. i'm familiar with all me, official son, his loved cop copper. and that cause has that the escalating all escalation factors

could prove lucrative for defense. contract us seeking to profit from the war. of course, dropping the nuclear weapon on gaza is just as harmful today's railways because of these rarely settlements around there will be affected in the fallout more likely may read up the coast is or so it's, it's a real, a relatively silly statement to make for anybody to effectively new their own territory, to say, continue the way they're going hand their opens up multiple fronts. there's a good possibility of that, at least initially. yeah, they, they don't have those kinds of problems. that's why they need to control emotionally. they need uh, emotional intelligence at this point. they need to be able to control their own. uh, ip campaign is if your company, that's a strange thing to israel had the sympathy of the world after a mazda attack. even a lot of the other muslim uh, air countries were sympathetic. dave squandered that with incredible speed. it's

just amazing to watch the speed with which they squandered all sympathy and of turn, the even the neutral sympathetic countries into borderline items. and they're continue to do it without their, their tone deaf absolutely tone death to their own uh, to their own actions and the consequences of their own actions to the nuclear strikes with the us. there were actually very minor compared with the us and the british did the japanese, the germans and even the northern france in one fire raid uh, in, over to tokyo, uh, the, the american bombers uh, burned to death. uh, half a 1000000 people. everybody remembers dresses. but the fact is, dressing was just the last city. every single german city was burned. 5000000 people will burn death. and the way they did it was they do it in waves with heavy bombs. many of every 10 farm was set to expose later up to

a month or 2 months later, when people return followed by the fire bombs. why foss 1st bar by uh, anti personnel. bombs, they create is joined firestorm. that would just destroy everything that the personnel binds us to kill refugees running or empty is our fire crews coming to, to try to port out the fires. this was done over germany. this is done over japan. so the penal clear bombs are actually very minor compared to what they did before. on the other hand, israel is a little bit different. uh. yeah, the us isn't going to condemn them. neither. you isn't going to condemn them. the world opinion will let somebody just concentrate on merican because the other european met, weapons manufacturers are moving to the moment this happened, their spots jump because the stock market works that way. tara is going to be a, we're going to make money, is going to be investments. so force the jump,

the right of the bad brian without everybody, it doesn't matter who if they're drink with the military in the west, all their thoughts describing ukraine has been, they did. they had the same thing. an issue with the grain with the big investments as far as who military in crisis. um, i wouldn't say that it's directly parallel with their value proposition, but they're not made. they're not losing any money off of this a long term. they may just money off of this, but their weapons, sure. and the, the implementation of their weapons are creating this many phrases. but i would say that's more of the fault that is around the government from the choices they made than just the weapons may official, but the manufacturer is the weapons manufacturer, of course, kind of a profit from this well, it's not going to be a 3 month walk through guys, and that the netanyahu of state, and that's insane. that's so the range lead detached from reality. it's not even

funny. it doesn't matter. you have a, the ation doesn't matter here. work. tillery doesn't matter. you have a naval artillery because once you walk into garza, you walk into a ruined urban environment that has an under city on top of that. uh, how mazda is going, how much is waiting for it so, so their goal is to get these relays in there. and this is, if you're looking cold, calculated. uh, they did an act that's enough to the israelis on. and our emotional rage would rush you if you're russian, it's a flight, it's a street fight. it's a room, the room flight. and the for the concept is you grab your enemy by the belt and you pull on fights, you're fighting right face to face with them. there's no way they're gonna use artillery. there's no way they're going to use air strikes, are going to be hitting their own troops. and once you go under ground, there is no technology, technological advantage, it will satellites. there's no guided missiles, it becomes a room, the room flight in underground tunnels, where you have no concept of where you're going and the enemy knows the ground

because it's their ground. they created this got to create the skill set. basically the entire tunnel network is going to be a goal, so it's something that's going to be, it's have to be cleared out. you can't gas it. now you can try, but they have precautions for that. water traps that'll, uh, that'll cut some of the tunnels off chambers that can be closed off so that i mean it's prepared. i'm not saying all of it is that way, but again, uh, sooner or later you're, you're gonna have to go down and cleared out. ok, all right, i see update now how the back of top of the i am michael quarter by now. the peace and love are 2 pillars of most religions. and yet in 2020 to 360000000 christians were persecuted with close to 6000 being killed for their belief in jesus. i'm just got to know he was in on this edition of $360.00 view,

we're going to look at why the global persecution of christians around the world has seen a 24 percent increase in the last year. and what is being done to help protect? let's get started. the the persecution of christians is both a historical and a contemporary concurrence which involves the mistreatment discrimination and harassment of individuals and communities to identify as a christians or practice christianity. this persecution can take various forms, including violence, imprisonment, discrimination, and restrictions on religious freedom. of one of the most known instances which saw a large number of martyrs was during the roman empire as a christians for targeted for refusing to worship

a roman god. as well as the emperor, but one would think with the advancement of society of science. so what also the powers of a religion, especially one which is considered to be the largest religion in the world, may get nearly one 3rd of the global population. yet today, christianity continues to be the most persecuted religion with 7 of the top 10 countries known for targeting christians. in countries where religion plays a key role in the government and daily life. now according to open doors, these countries which are dominantly muslim, frequently target, harass, and terrorize those who profess to be christians. north korea are predominantly agnostic country is on top of the open doors list, as well as india or hindu mobs are known to target christians. nigeria we're crushing or the is the main religion with more than 90. $8000000.00 reside in the country remains the deadliest for believers as the african nation was responsible

for almost 80 percent of all christians murdered for their faith. this last year i to all of this is unacceptable. and i would say this about any religion where its members were being targeted and persecuted for their faith streaming. now to help find some answers is jason jones, a film producer, author activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker. he is present of the humans, right education organization and the director of the verbal peoples project. jason jones is also a senior contributor to the stream. and the author of 2 books, the race to save our century and his most recent photos on fire, which was released in 2017 jason's whitestone divided hearts of america. now, playing on fox nation, additional works directly to a homeless people facing genocide and women with crisis pregnancies. thank you so much for joining us. jason. as i could not think of a better person to talk about the persecution of christians around the globe,

then you? yes, got it. thanks for having the audit. have to say our organization is over 20 years old. i founded the bundle of people project to stand with the most vulnerable people in the world while the world had walked away from them. and i would say the past in the, over the past 2 years, we've shared more folks than we've had in the previous 20. and you have been a cash. and you do help people from all religions. but we're talking about christianity. do you think christianity from what you've seen is the most persecuted village in the world and why would that be? yeah, christianity is definitely the most persecuted religion in the world and it will always be that way. and the reason why is because as christians, we are called to stand with any community that is persecuted. in fact, muhammed weddies setting that he'd be, that mohammed said that if we're as muslims persecuted, always go to the christians. they will defend you. we saw in the late nineties in the early 2 thousands, the ccp was looked into christianity as maybe

a religion. they could harness of the state religion. but the reality is as a persecuted other peoples in china, the fall and gone the most of the leaders and others, the christians were always standing with them in hong kong. when you think of the freedom protesters that were being rounded up and detained and disappeared, those are predominantly catholic and why is that? well, because as christians, we order our lives to a transcendent moral order, a truth that is above governments. and we're also called to serve the lease of bees . so in a society where any community is suffering, any community is impoverished or any community is facing persecution. we as christians are called to stand with them. so it is inevitable that from now until our lord returns we, as christians will always be the most persecuted group. so then you mentioned a few countries right there. so i wonder why would a christian actually wish to live in a country where they know they are more than likely to be targeted and cannot look to the government for protection?

you know, that's a really great question. when i was traveling with the pat smart guy in the war against isis, the kurdish soldiers as they were battling it. i says pushing them out of 1st century christian communities. i had asked many christians that were internally displaced and in camps in iraq. u. curtis stand, and i asked that they had hoped to go to europe the united states, and they said that our family had been here since pretty history since even before the conversion to christianity in the 1st century. and this is their home. and so we work with communities across the world, not only of christians, but about there's this is their home. this is where their families are from. this is where they had been for centuries and millennia, and they want to stay where their roots are. you looking that's in, in the let's look to right now to ard sock world is turned its back on the armenian christians of arch soft and in, just as a little more than a century. later after the armenian genocide, we have another armenian genocide. happening right now in front of the world's eyes

and so often in history find that it might have started off there for a christian who might have been welcome, but obviously regimes change and it's not a welcome village and it just goes through rotations. and so you can see why some families have been there for generations. and i'm glad jason that you're getting into specifics because i also look at some of the specific regions that have are on my radar. what are you know about why despite created being the official religion and nigeria, why is it so deadly for christians in that country? yeah, there are places nigeria of course, so it's very safe to be christians and then there are provinces where we're seeing that the rise of radicalism. in fact, radical is lambs. it's real home isn't even in them. and it's not a central asia it's, it's not even really the most radical islam is not even come out of the middle east . it's come out of africa. do you think of events that i would say? i'm sorry. oh, some of in line and it's been many, many, many years in sudan. and right now we have a civil warrant, cnn, again, or christians are being persecuted. so in nigeria you see

a vero and radical islamist ideology and the christians, they are suffering greatly. 9 out of 10 christian so it will be murder this year will be murdered nigeria, our organization of horrible people. project has a program called the vulnerable parish program. we're. we're providing security cameras and security guards for the most vulnerable christian schools, christian churches, and christian hospitals. in nigeria we, you know paul and his letters to the church and the pot and pauline letters 9 out of 70 percent of the time when he wrote to tie them to prey. it was to tied into prey to the persecuted church. and with this perverse ideology of globalism, sometimes, and united states, and even in, in, in, in the other western countries. there is a reaction in the body of christ to say we need to focus at home. but it's christians, it's very important that we are one body. we are one body with the church in india . we are one body with the church and nigeria, we are one body of

a church in afghanistan. and if we looked at paul is our example, he says, to pray and fired to the persecuted church. this is our primary responsibility. sure, i'm your maybe your child's prep school and your affluent suburb of boston needs a bigger and better scoreboard a gym. but we have christian children with boons, mining cobalt to go into electric vehicles. so woke social justice wires in the last can feel virtuous and it is our calling as christians to stand with those people here. there's so much to impact and what you just said i'm, we're going to get to that in the next segment. i do have to ask and we talk about the christian church and obviously it's one big group. is there a specific so also targeting the catholic church or the orthodox as compared to personally and in places like nigeria as compared to more protestant religions. but i do think that catholic social teaching the magisterial teaching of the church, which is changing and changeable. it makes us a,

a bit more movable. we saw that in hong kong where a lot of the protestant churches quickly took a need to the ccp where it was the catholics and cardinals. then to draw a line in the sand and or not borrowing to the cc piece moves at hong kong. and that's why of course there been 7 catholic bishops disappeared. elderly you know, got carlos, that isn't his ninety's and, and he was charged. you have the most prominent catholic layman in china, maybe the most prominent catholic layman in the world. jimmy lie a billionaire who it was probably spend the rest of his life and die in prison because he was in movable and had to stand for freedom in hong kong against the ccp . so i do think that that in the catholic church and we have less room to maneuver around towers and, and we, we have to just simply say that we, we must, we don't choose no one choose as to be a modern, you know, one of our church teaches it's a guess, and sadly, it is

a guess the one gets from our lord, when they refuse to bow to the spirit of the age and rather stand with the vulnerable. and we're told when you stand with the verbal, you're standing with christ himself. why does it seem like there is more hatred towards christians from muslim majority countries, especially there in the middle east? yeah, well we see that again. i think a lot of this tragically is their reaction to the regime change wars. and it did not make any sense that we were back in malicious that were aligned with isis. and then toward toppling a side where wherever sides forces were pushed back, we saw an immediate liquidation of the christian communities. and so i do think that there is a natural reaction that you want to kick back at the western powers that be stabilized your machine and all his laughter. sadly, those christian neighbors of yours, i just recently in early august was invited to attend memorial and nebraska for the

survivors. devices that were ya, z, u, z. the other pro, to so many people are their religion is ok. something between pantheism, it might have to use them, it's a, it's a free abrahamic religion in its original form. and this in the prayers and then the anesthesia is from using what they felt most our full about was they felt they were betrayed by their muslim friends. and neighbors see they'd families have been friends with for generations. and this is why is christians, we must always work for peace because when there is more, there is fear and the worst and human instincts arise. we must always have a preference option for pre a piece. it's a travesty. i marxist idea that out of the chaos and violence come something better . we. we can just look back at the history of the region with the 20th century and a sorrowful short history of the 21st century and see from all of our wars,

all we got was these are these stabilization fam and religious persecution, violence. we can even see europe being the, stabilize now because of the mass immigration caused by our region. change wars jason, hold on. stay right there to because after the break we're going to ask jason, why not more is being done by both the government and the christian church itself to help protect their own persecution the

the you are watching the 360 view on your host, scotty. now hughes and we are back with our guest filled producer, author activist, popular podcast host, and human rights worker, jason jones. jason, thanks so much for continuing this conversation. do you feel like the christian charges doing enough to help their brother? and i mean, there are emissions all the time to help members of other religions. should they be focusing more on their own? you know, that's a great question. and i, you know, the answer to that question it's, it's

a disgrace. you can drive out of washington dc and you can see some of the historic protestant churches find the rainbow flag, but not a word for the church nigeria, not a word for the church in china. and that will work for the church in india or pakistan . pope francis, when there was the genocide of the 1st century christian churches, the churches that were planted by thomas himself on his way through a rock on his way to india. and of course, um, as that community was being wiped from the face of the year, you wouldn't hear a prayer from the po for a comment. i don't. and so yeah, the church can do much more. i think in the west we have to be very honest as well . for those of us who haven't been swept away by the ideologies of the age, or whether you're a member of the private college or whether you're waiving the rainbow flag. then many of us have just become kind of doubt decadent in order looking. um i know that even in my very own church i had just come back from a rock where i would walk through be. busy which is where i could smell the burning

flash of christians and buildings that were still smoldering. and i came back home when to my peers the sunday after returning from iraq and we prayed for isis. we prayed for isis that god would forgive isis. and i had never heard a single prayer, the chaldeans, the assyrians, the kurds, are easy to hear the kite and from my pulpit. and i think that we feel there and there's some way of virtue for standing up for an other one, not standing up for our own. but obviously if we stand up for our own, if we stand up for our own, it's doing the love of our own the we have an understanding of the love for the other. i can tell you with my work around the world, with muslims, with falling, gone with u. z. they'll tell me that i defended them as if i was their own brother . and i said, well, you may feel that way, but i think i would fight for my own sister a little harder. and i spent the past months in the high no my community of hawaii

working to rebuild of my own community. so, love starts at home, and if we don't assign the christian communities of africa, of the middle east of central asia, if i raise my voice from others lobster for others and other parts of the world, you should trust you should distrust my motives. you should distrust my motives and why have the governance of the world, especially the governments of the west, especially united states state department. i stopped speaking up for christians. they don't believe in religious freedom. they all believe really, really, really just freedom for them is not a value they may use, freedom to worship and what they mean by that is so long as you're a practical atheist. in a practical materialist, that's fine. you can go to church on sunday, but leave your belief and had transcended world trees. leave your belief and had an anthropology of the human person of significance of, of, of ultimate dignity and worth. you better leave that in a church. don't bring that belief into the politics. don't bring that belief into the workplace. don't bring that into government. and which is upset about that is

united states is the only country in the world is founded on an apology. and that is the declaration principle. we hold these truths to be self evident that all that are, are endowed by their creator with inalienable rights. that is a statement either unique. digging into the human person or republic is the only country in the world. founded on the the allergy, the revealed religious truth, the revealed teaching of a thing to be a human person is the foundation of our public. but unfortunately, our leads have of, of data owning that they no, no longer believe in that. they see that as an to that a, that is an obstacle as an obstacle to achieving their political goals. but jason, you, you mentioned here on the west side of the how the west versus the united states was formed on certain values. christian values. do you see christians actually being i mean, we can point out to, to the muslim countries, but you see in the, in the united states,

christians being persecuted for their beliefs or limited in how they practice. a lot of people are afraid i was just, i just met with a man who was very wealthy is very influential. it sits at the time this was this week and sits at the top of a huge financial institution. and he was talking about strategies and ways in which he can come out of the closet and share his religious faith with others. so yes, there is no doubt. we've seen the department of justice weaponized against homeschool catholic families, weaponized against pro life activist weaponized against people. again, who have brought their fates into the public square. you can keep your face, you can go to mass on sundays. even go to church on but you can go to bible study on wednesdays. you can do all of that, but do not behave in public like you believe that or you very well may find yes the i standing outside your door, we've seen the ring. countless, you know, ring film,

a video of 26 as the i agent standing outside a 20 year old woman's home who was praying outside of an abortion clinic. and it's, it's quite frightening. i do believe that. um, the people are beginning to wake up and i pray that the pendulum begins to swing in the other direction because it's become literally quite absurd again and this weekend i was with a very prominent man, a former member of congress. while we were together. he, he shot his phone, the f, b, i was visiting his house and wanting to talk to him. so we do see religious persecution in the country. we do see the government being weaponized against us. we're living to a cultural revolution like we had in china. you know, in china they would bring you up on stage in front of the village and they would raise you when you were in 3rd grade. you got an ass in, in history class. when you were a sophomore high school,

you got drug with your friends and, and, and they would bring up everything you've ever done wrong in front of the entire village. well, now we see the mass being used and weaponized and social media is an instrument of care to against people who dared to be signs of contradiction. and now what we'd have lost here, and now we have the department of justice being weaponized against us. we shouldn't be able to decide for ourselves though. it's a tragedy. but this is quite normal. this is what christians have had to suffer and are suffering throughout history and their suffering now in the garage whether suffering now in pakistan and india, there's suffering now and jerry, other suffering now in most places in the. busy world and so it is a tragedy to see that have taken united states, but it's, we are no longer exceptional and we've just become like everyone else i guess. and it will be real interesting to see who exactly steps up and defends those in the west from persecution. thank you joe. jason jos. let me ask where can people find out more about your project and where could they visit as well?

my pod cast as a jason jone show and if you want to stand with the most vulnerable people in the world, so christians at home to we're in chinese, occupied the circus. dan, go to our website, the great campaign dot org. thank you so much for joining us, jason. thanks. now throughout time, religious been seen as a source of good as far as the bad words have been found in the name of one's god or lowercase uppercase god, or lack there of the targeting and torture members of a religious group had been encouraged or even commanded by their liturgy or even leadership, the most frustrating is to watch one's religion, outright campaign against another, which so often little defends by others of the same faith, a pattern which will only be disrupted by divine intervention. and i'm scared of using this has been your 350 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching the,

the west, the latest that we've got to not by the wrong schultz. this is so bad. there's some people are going to look for foods in because it, these prints and cares about these people prints and cares about his country, the,

[000:00:00;00] the distressing images from gazda where at least 50 palestinians are killed in just one hour after the time neighborhoods are wiped off them off in the escalating these rarely bombardment of this comes out of a deadly is not of attracts on the in place of disturbing images i had the overnight these rarely slides claimed the lives of at least 700. most of the
