Mainstream Media Suppresses News of Studio Firebombing

Over the weekend one of the worlds largest Christian broadcaster’s Jerusalem studio was firebombed. Raise your hand if you knew. Completely unsurprisingly, there is no mention of this attack in the mainstream media. This is only the latest in a long line of attacks on everything Christian. The string of anti-Christian attacks by fire has even deprived the world of the beauty of Notre Dame.

Network owner Marcus Lamb said the studio was “reduced to a pile of rubble and ashes.” The firebomb was thrown into the studio early Saturday morning, and quickly burnt or melted everything in sight. Daystar was in the process of renovating an existing studio in Jerusalem, and the fire destroyed all the new work and much of the existing studio.

“You can’t silence the life changing truth of the Gospel.”

From CBN: “The control room I would say is probably totally devastated,” Dave Sharett, the contractor overseeing the renovations told CBN News. “The controls actually start here with the electric panel, the main electric panel and anything plastic is totally melted.”

Firebombed, But Not Defeated

Sharett describes the studio as a living room type setup where it was comfortable and casual. Sharett says nothing survived. A Daystar press release said security cameras filmed the arsonist on the roof at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday morning. The arsonist set fire to the roof, and then escaped via a rope and fled on foot.

Marcus Lamb vows to rebuild, stating “You can’t silence the life changing truth of the Gospel.” He continues with this uplifting and encouraging message: “From the ashes of this tragedy, we will rise up with help from our partners around the globe and continue reaching across Israel to share God’s love and forgiveness. My prayer is that this message touches the person responsible for this incident and he embraces the hope that can only be found in Jesus Christ.”

Dave Sharett added his own words of wisdom and comfort, saying, “I believe that God has a reason and a purpose and at the very least he’ll redeem what has happened here. So, these ashes will raise up, be raised up and proclaim the glory of God.” The network has vowed to go on and rebuild, and claims they are “armed with forgiveness and filled with faith for the future.”
