New Jerusalem Times 1919

Ad in papers around the world (not in Catholic countries)


The hands of the Papists devils are red with the blood of countless innocents, murdered over countless years. They call themselves Christians but they have forgotten to "Love your Enemy". Today they want to add another victim to their list. They have not been content with the Spanish Inquisition the countless pogroms they have conducted, or their bloody crusades. The streets of Jerusalem, the Holy City, ran red with blood. Crusaders slicing open pregnant women and smashing their children into the walls of the city. The Roman Legions, marching and despoiling the land.

The blood of those they have murdered cries out to God asking to avenge their wrongdoings.

Are you next?

Ad in newspapers around the world:


To our Brothers around the World. Once again we face the murderous hand of the Roman Legions and the Catholic Popes. For two thousand years we have been without a land to call our own, and now we are once again a free nation. The Papist Nations unable to see a free and independent Jewish Nation, are once again on the warpath. We ask for your support and help in this time of trial.

Trusting in the Lord our God we shall triumph.

Contact your nearest Zionite Embassy for further information.

The Roman Empire. Twenty-five hundred years of enslavement.

Hypocrites! Did not the man they hold in such 'reverence' (but never actually do what he taught) say once, 'Look unto your own house before that of your neighbors?'

For thousands of years many have toiled as slaves under their brutal Roman overlords, and those that have dared to fight for liberty have been brutally murdered, crucified on a Roman cross...

They have blatantly, and without a shred of evidence, invaded a country at peace. But at the first whiff of defeat they see fit to blame the defenders of liberty for their own aggression.

Four times, in the last thirty years, the Roman Empire has seen fit to invade the only independent (for the past two thousand years) African country. Four times they have been defeated. Once again they invade, and once again they shall perish on the mountains of New Zion...

The Frontlines

"Men of Royal Zionite Army! Today, once again we are at war with the forces of the Roman Empire. Do not fear, the Lord God of our fathers has spoken!

'Hear, O Israel: Today you are on the verge of battle with your enemies. Do not let your heart faint, do not be afraid, and do not tremble or be terrified because of them; for the LORD your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.'

Arise, O God, plead Your own cause; For behold, Your enemies have taken crafty counsel against Your people, And consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, "Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, That the name of Israel may be remembered no more."

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; But we will remember the name of the LORD our God!"

Official Government Release

New Zion has begun laying down minefields stretching across the entirety of the Rift. Safe paths across them have been left open for those neutral nations that require the use of the Rift. Detailed charts having said routes marked will be provided to all neutral nations that request them. However, said nations are requested to have their ships clearly identified and lit at all times to prevent any unfortunate accidents.

[The Rock Doctor]

The Republic of Gran Colombia serves notice to the Government of New Zion that Colombian shipping lines have been instructed not to accept charts showing safe lanes through the Rift Sea.

Should Gran Colombian shipping be damaged or destroyed as a result of striking a Zionite mine in international waters, it will be considered an act of war willfully committed by New Zion against Gran Colombia.

[Desertfox]

Eh tu Rocky? *grumble* So who's going to mod the war now? BTW The Italians are also laying down minefields in international waters.

[Sachmle]

The DKB doesn't like anyone laying any mines in any international waters and respectfully requests both New Zion and Italia stick to mining each others waters only.

[Desertfox]

*gives sachmle the evil eye* New Switzerland does not like people complaining about mines laid in international waters after said people laid mines in SWISS waters when New Switzerland was not at war with said people.

[ctwaterman]

Prior to the DOW Italy has not laid a single mine.  In addition the mines I am laying are either clearly inside my 6nm territorial limit and I posted a ban indicating where they were.  Off Nacala, Blantrye, Mogadishu and Massawa, these are all my Ports.  After the DOW I have indicated a Close Blockade of New ZIon and my intention to lay Offensive minefields but only within your territorial waters.

So NO Italy is not laying minefields in International Waters.  Accusing us of doing so will... well Ive already declared war on your Once... ;) :o

[Carthaginian]

I think that the Swiss giving someone else the 'evil eye' at this point might be the equivalent of writing an check they know will come back NSF. The LAST thing that the Swiss and Zionite Navies need ATM is another enemy... especially on that is in their own back yard, and which has a lot of local friends.

The Republic of Gran Colombia serves notice to the Government of New Zion that Colombian shipping lines have been instructed not to accept charts showing safe lanes through the Rift Sea.

Should Gran Colombian shipping be damaged or destroyed as a result of striking a Zionite mine in international waters, it will be considered an act of war willfully committed by New Zion against Gran Colombia.

If Gran Columia willfully turns down those charts, they are willfully taking ths risk that they hit a mine and therefore any GC vessel lost due to a NZ mine is their own fault. It is obvious that GC just wants to have an excuse to enter the war. Also, you would have to prove that it was a Zionite mine that sank your ship(s), which I think is pretty much impossible to prove because it could belong to anyone. Even GC!

[The Rock Doctor]

I'm still modding the war.  That doesn't mean Gran Colombia is going to sit back and let the belligerents abuse its rights as a declared neutral.  If we get to the point that Gran Colombia does enter the conflict for some reason, we'll sort out the modding duties accordingly.

If Gran Columia willfully turns down those charts, they are willfully taking ths risk that they hit a mine and therefore any GC vessel lost due to a NZ mine is their own fault.

If GC accepts the charts, it would effectively be accepting the mining of international waterways. 

Also, you would have to prove that it was a Zionite mine that sank your ship(s), which I think is pretty much impossible to prove because it could belong to anyone. Even GC!

*Looks innocent*

[Walter]

If GC accepts the charts, it would effectively be accepting the mining of international waterways.

That is only true if you do not do anything else. You should put forward a protest at the nearest Zionite Embassy clearly stating your serious displeasure about these despicable Zionite actions or something like that. That way you'd be accepting that there is a threat in those waters that your ships need to stay clear of with help with those maps while at the same time you condemn the Zionite mining of international waters. To me it looks like GC does not care at all about its ships and the well-being of the crews of those ships. They're just tools. The only thing they care about is to have a good excuse to get involved in this mess.

*Looks innocent*

Others might fall for that trick, but those puppy eyes won't work on me! :)

[Borys]

After the ads trickle down to Vienna - "what a bunch of self-obsessed nutters ... "

[Borys]

Date: three days after the first clash with DKB forces:

By way of the Rohirrim Embassy the Zionist Government is delivered a Declaration of War by the Habsburger Kaiser-und-Koenigreich.

[Walter]

Looks like it's time for New Zion to bring out the old anti hun posters again. :)

ROMANS INVADE

Eliat under siege!

August 1st

The murderous bloodthirsty Roman legions have set siege to the city of Eliat. However, the brave defenders have held out against all odds. A single division of our brave soldiers has stood against three mighty Roman legions and they have not cracked. Multiple assaults repulsed with the lands surrounding Eliat red with the blood of countless dead enemies. The commander of the city has spoken, that the city will not fall! The enemies of the Lord will fall upon the mountains of Zion and the birds of the air and the beasts of the field will feast upon their dead bodies!

The Lord God of Israel has already shown his mighty power, as a mighty battleship of the Roman Navy resting in the port of Massawa was wiped from the face of the Earth. May all of our enemies be like her.
