Biden White House and State Department blocking rescue of Christians from Afghanistan
(Lifesite News, Aug 27, 2021)
Islamic countries are more eager to accept Christians from Afghanistan than our State Department: ‘They have more compassion for these Christians than our American Government. It is insulting, embarrassing, and wrong.’
The Biden Administration’s State Department is reportedly blocking the rescue of Afghani Christian converts seeking to flee the now Taliban-run nation in order to escape an almost certain and unimaginably grotesque death.
With the August 31 deadline looming to get endangered people out of Afghanistan, conservative radio and TV commentator Glenn Beck quickly raised $30 million to charter planes to airlift Christians who have been all but abandoned to the Taliban if not condemned to death by the Biden Administration.
“The State Department has blocked us every step of the way,” Beck told Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a Thursday night interview. “The State Department and the White House have been the biggest problem. Everyone else has been working together, putting aside differences and trying to get these people to safety.”
“The State Department and the White House have blocked us every single step of the way,” he reiterated.
Converted Christians marked not just for death, but to be burned alive
Before yesterday’s bombings at the Kabul Airport, Beck’s organization, the Nazarene Fund, had already put 5,100 refugees on planes out of Afghanistan.
Five hundred refugees —mostly Christian women and children— were waiting to board the next plane inside the airport’s safe zone when the bombings occurred. A military official ordered them to return to the other side of the gate, beyond the protected area of the airport.
“I have pictures of them pleading to get back through the gate,” said Beck. “I have pictures of blood and body parts and nothing but death in that same area.”
