A report by Francesca Albanese, Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, documents that "the systematic torture of Palestinians has become an integral part of the colonial genocide perpetrated by Israel, serving as an instrument of annihilating violence directed against the Palestinian people. When torture is perpetrated across an entire territory, against a population as such, and supported by policies that destroy living conditions, the intent of genocide is evident."

Christians are also persecuted by Israel. "The Rossing Center for Education and Dialogue, an interfaith group headquartered in Jerusalem, documents a persistent and expanding phenomenon of intimidations and assaults, or acts of violence, perpetrated against Christians in Israel by Israeli Jews in 2025. The report describes 155 episodes, ranging from physical assaults on individuals to attacks on Church properties. The most common manifestation has been spitting at churches and clergy members, often in broad daylight or even in front of police officers."

Despite this, President Trump continues to support Israel on all fronts. At the same time, Trump attacks the Pope, accusing him of endangering Catholics because 'he finds it normal for Iran to have nuclear weapons.' In reality, Iran, a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty and thus under UN oversight, does not have nuclear weapons (although it is one of the 30 countries that, with advanced civilian nuclear capabilities, could one day build nuclear weapons). Israel is the only country in the Middle East equipped with nuclear weapons and, having not adhered to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, is subject to no oversight. Israel was able to build a powerful nuclear arsenal thanks to the fact that, from the outset, it was aided by the United States of America, France, and other NATO countries.

The United States declares itself "One Nation under God," as it will be written on the colossal Arc de Triomphe to be erected in Washington in commemoration of the 250th anniversary. To celebrate it, President Trump participated—with 500 religious, governmental, entrepreneurial, and entertainment leaders—in the reading (which lasted a week) of all the verses of the Bible. In his presidential message, Trump called on all citizens to "once again recognize the extraordinary biblical foundations of our nation, give thanks for the countless ways in which God has been the sacred source of our Unity and our National Strength, rediscover the biblical truths that have animated the United States of America for two and a half centuries, and pray that the Bible will continue to guide us—as individuals, as a people, and as a nation—for the next 250 years and more."
