Greek Orthodox Archbishop in Beit-ul-Moqaddas, Atallah Hanna said that Israeli Occupation must end immediately.
Ahlul Bayt News Agency ; Greek Orthodox Archbishop in Beit-ul-Moqaddas, Atallah Hanna said that Israeli Occupation must end immediately.
The archbishop calls on all Christians to unite with brothers in the Al-Quds Holy Land churches and with all Muslim brothers especially Palestinians to stand against (Israeli) occupation.
He made the remarks in a meeting with a delegation of Irish and Palestinian group in Al-Quds.
“Al-Quds church is the mother of all churches and is the first Christian center in world so Al-Quds is precious place for Christians.”
He also expressed his hope that the Palestinian people would unite and regain their rights after liberating their land.
Justice won’t establish in Palestine unless Israeli occupation end and Palestinians get their tights. (Israeli) occupation must vanish and all its tyranny and suppression must end, he added.
Christians in Palestine are not separated from Palestinian nation, archbishop noted.
Talk about misplaced priorities and sheer ignorance. First of all, how about putting pressure on the Islamic state of turkey. They have truly been occupying Cypress for years. Many churches and monasteries have been damaged, destroyed, or turned into resorts! How about rallying behind the Serbians to protect their “Holy Land” in Kosovo and the rights of scores of Serbian Christians being intimidated, forced out or killed by the Albanian muslims, who stole their homes and lands.
Secondly, Arabs have Palestine…..it is currently called Jordan, whic comprises 75% of the original Brittish mandate for Palestine. I ask you. Would you rather be a second class citizen in a Muslim run “Palestine” or an equal citizen in an Israeli democracy. When Jordan occupied Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem Christians and Jews were prevented access to their Holy Shrines in the old city (1948-1967). To side with muslim “brothers” boggles the mind (atleast the mind of an Orthodox Christian). The Greek Orthodox Hierarchy needs to wake up.
