And there’s more. Canonical Orthodox Christians are being persecuted merely for being faithful to their heritage. Something the West would not comprehend.

There is a debate about this in Orthodox circles, as I cited. And people can disagree in good faith about the actions taken, I think. I was pointing out the usage of these events for much different goals.

A comment on the 'Israel supports Christians' narrative. I spent three weeks in Israel, and can absolutely verify that while the government may "support" Christians, the Jews do NOT. Our group had several Messianic Jews among us, and we received open hostility among the Jews who even suspected it. We did not proselytize in any way and tried stay out of the relgious citizen's way......but man - it was quite a shock to me.

I've spent plenty of time there. Ultra Orthodox Jews are certainly hostile to Messianic Jews, yes. As the article I hyperlinked indicated, that group is responsible for virtually all of the hostility in Israel towards Christians.

Not sure I caught the proof that Carney facilitated his daughters transition. Just as it may be true the parents who did facilitate these transitions are most likely to deny the truth, the parents who refused to affirm genital mutilation is a gender delivered it child not only deserve our commendation but are unlikely to want to speak about it in public.

There's no evidence that Sasha Carney transitioned. Carney identifies as "non-binary," which could mean pretty much anything. Carney did do therapy at Tavistock, however, and is now a trans activist.
