With the failure of Israel and the U.S. to overthrow the government of Iran, talks are beginning about a settlement to the current Gaza war as well.
Seemingly in response to that, Israel sent tanks and the military into the West Bank this week, where settlers there are attacking anyone who is not a Jew.
ZeroHedge reported today that the last Christian village in the West Bank is also under attack. The name of the village is Taybeh, which in the New Testament is referred to as “Ephraim,” and it is the place where Jesus lived with his disciples during the last week of his life, before he was crucified.

Therefore Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the Jews. Instead he withdrew to a region near the desert, to a village called Ephraim, where he stayed with his disciples. (John 11:54)
Last Christian Town In West Bank Attacked And Besieged By Israeli Settlers
The last entirely-Christian town in the Israeli-controlled West Bank is enduring a wave of attacks by violent Jewish settlers, a local church leader says, prompting families to flee and leading clergy to declare the town is “no longer safe” for its inhabitants.
Ominously, settlers have also set up an “outpost” on the fringe of that town — Taybeh, Ramallah — a 4,500-year-old community with huge significance in the story of Jesus Christ.

This is only the latest in an ongoing pattern of aggression directed toward Taybeh’s inhabitants, a pattern that has also included stealing farm equipment, and destroying crops with fire or by releasing settlers’ cattle to devour them, Catholic News Agency reports.
Settlers have established an outpost on the town’s eastern edge, on the remains of a farmhouse abandoned by Christians who’d fled about a year ago under the growing settler campaign of violence and intimidation.
An “outpost” is a Jewish settlement on Palestinian land that’s not authorized by the Israeli government. Outposts typically begin with something as small as a tent or a van, and are frequently situated on hilltops or agricultural land.
In the case of “herding outposts,” settlers will bring livestock that they allow to graze over a wide area with the goal of establishing a larger claim. Despite outposts’ lack of government permission at the outset, the Israeli government often legalizes them retroactively, cementing the Palestinians’ loss of the land.
(Note, there are both Christian and Muslim Palestinians, and both varieties experience the iniquities associated with being non-Jewish in the West Bank.)
