    After they upped their actions to kick off Armenians from their homes in Jerusalem, now they start targeting Christians. The end goal would be for them to control the whole of Jerusalem.

      now they start targeting Christians

      By asking religious bodies to pay tax? Why do religious organisations get tax exemptions anyway?

        Do you think synagogues are paying any taxes? Because if they force churches to pay the taxes, they should apply the same scrutiny to synagogues but I am sure they don’t. So I dare you to prove me wrong.

          This is taxes on commercial properties owned by the church. Commercial properties owned by synagogues are also taxed.

          If that is true, the complaint should be against synagogues being exempt, not against churches being asked to pay up.
