Former Fox News commentator-cum-antisemite Tucker Qatarlson Carlson recently interviewed Mother Agapia Snuffleupagus Stephanopoulos, in his latest bid to demonize the Jewish state.
You can watch the entire interview here:
but I assume you would rather watch paint dry. Needless to say, Stephanopoulos provided the bitching and moaning against Israel that led Qatarlson to have her on as his guest to begin with.
Instead, I will tell you what you need to know about this clearly nasty – yet handsome – woman.
Firstly, she defends Hamas and justifies October 7.
Tucker hosts a random Russian Orthodox nun who says that Muslims treat Christians well in the Middle East, there is no such thing as Islamic extremism and Hamas are not jihadists. October 7 was justified, Hamas fighters are just oppressed orphans.

That should be enough to disqualify her to be a credible source on anything, let alone the treatment of Christians in Israel, given Hamas’ well documented persecution of Christians – including targeted killings and violent attacks, harassment and coercion, and the population decline of Christians in Gaza.
Not surprisingly, Stephanopoulos has a history of falsely accusing Israel of all manner of things while defending terrorists. For example:
Back in April 2002, Israeli troops, responding to a string of horrific suicide bombings, were conducting a sweep of West Bank towns and villages to root out Palestinian terror cells. In Bethlehem, a group of Palestinian gunmen seized the Church of the Nativity and holed up there for several days, trading gunfire with Israeli soldiers stationed outside the building.
It was during the siege of the Church of the Nativity and its aftermath that several e-mails from the area, accusing Israeli soldiers of all manner of barbaric conduct, began to circulate widely on the Internet. One of the e-mails claimed Israeli troops had “defecated” on the floors of a Bethlehem medical clinic they’d reduced to “shambles,” leaving “bullet holes all over the walls…and most of the equipment…damaged.”
Also according to the e-mail, Israeli soldiers had looted Palestinian homes. In one case, reported the e-mail’s author, a Palestinian couple (the same source, incidentally, for the defecation story) charged that Israelis “entered their new home in the middle of the night three times in the last month, once stealing all the money from the house, and another time strafing the house with gunfire, miraculously only slightly wounding one of their daughters.”
As for the gunmen who’d taken over the Church of the Nativity, they were mostly innocent citizens seeking refuge. “For the most part,” claimed the e-mail, “they are not ‘terrorists’ but policemen and parishioners of these churches, husbands and brothers trying to defend their homes.”
The e-mail writer urged all recipients to “Get on the phone and ask your congressmen and senators why the United States government is backing this invasion of Israeli forces into sovereign areas, why so many innocent civilians are being terrorized in their homes, their towns and livelihoods being destroyed by the Israeli government all in the name of stopping terror…”
An earlier e-mail from the same party had accused Israeli soldiers of raping Palestinian girls, but that account, wrote WorldNetDaily’s Paul Sperry at the time, was quickly discredited. And Sperry noted that “nearly all of [this e-mail writer’s] reporting comes from Palestinian sources. She has not herself witnessed the alleged Israeli atrocities.”
The writer of these e-mails, which immediately became staples on anti-Israel and anti-Semitic websites? The very same Sister Maria Stephanopoulos, a.k.a. Mother Agapia Stephanopolous, cited by Robert Novak as some kind of authoritative source.
Stephanopolous is the sister of former White House aide George Stephanopoulos, and has bragged that her brother has interceded on her behalf with the White House and its National Security Council. And the same article reveals something that is less surprising about her:
Sister Maria, an American nun in a black habit, has not had a shower in 13 days
In short: a Hamas apologist, serial liar about Israel, and self-proclaimed 13-day non-showerer – no wonder she stinks.
Update: I knew she reminded me of someone.
