Shaun Kenney | Politics and Religion in Virginia's Public Square


Friday, September 30, 2005 Christians Overlooked in the Holy Land An appropriate article from ZENIT on the plight of Palestinian Christians in Israel: "We are rejected by the Israeli Jewish people and government because we are Arabs, and we are rejected by the Palestinian Muslim people because we are Christians," said the Palestinian priest, who lived and worked in Bethlehem for years. "The West is always talking about human rights toward people from the Middle East," he said. "It is always giving minority groups rights in the West without asking the same from the countries where they have come from." The priest said that European countries do help Muslims in Palestine, but "they have little consideration for the Christians." "This is unjust," he said, "because the Muslims receive a great deal of help from the Arab countries in the Middle East." Remember our fellow Christians in the Holy Land. posted by Shaun Kenney \| 9/30/2005 11:41:00 PM \| 0 comments 0 Comments: Post a Comment Home
