Palestinian Christians support independent state

The main Christian denominations in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza have issued a joint statement supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Around 57 000 Christians live in the territories concerned.

The Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia, Theodosios Atallah Hanna, told euronews the Palestinian people deserve a state, and United Nations recognition.

“We are part of these people and we support this. We work side by side with all the sectors of the Palestinian people, Muslims and Christians, for our freedom and our independence, and to establish our independent Palestinian state, and its capital Jerusalem.

“We hope that the United States and Europe and all those who are sympathetic to the Palestinian cause, will support this just demand.”

You do know that the main sticking point on the 2nd state idea is going to be control of Jerusalem....

It's a city of religious significance to all three of the faiths, so no group is going to allow another group to claim it as a capital (and potentially restrict access).....perhaps the best compromise is for a neutral party to take over administration of the city....Let the UN (for example) run it as a neutral zone, with equal access to the religious sites for ALL parties???

And here is me, thinking that the main sticking point to resolving the conflict between Israel and her neighbours, was going to be moslem belligerence towards non-moslems [the state of Israel being a non-moslem entity in the M.E.].




ISLAM's imperative [as per ISLAMIC scripture];

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."   
Koran 9.123

"...And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah...Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against the friends of Satan:.."
Koran 4.74-76

"Fighting [against unbelievers] is prescribed for you, and [if] ye dislike it.....Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Koran 2.216

"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods;....they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:..."
Koran 9.111

Q.
What about the history of ancient Israel, that is recorded in the Bible ???

A.
Well of course, moslems tell us that that, is totally irrelevant.
/sarc off




According to moslems today, those accounts of the people [Jews], was myth, a lie, 'made up', fabricated, by Jews.

And the historic account of a 'Jewish' temple in Jerusalem?

That, also is another myth/lie, fabricated, by Jews.

Those temples were moslem temples!!!

And the ISLAMIC evidence for such claims ???

They, moslems say it is so.

And moslems would never, ever, lie!!

This is your best 'joke' yet giz.

The UN 'a neutral party' ???

ROFLOL

In recent years, the UN has morphed into a cabal of nations whose political interests are often dominated by its majority ISLAMIC member nations.

The [majority of the] member nations of the United Nations today, are nothing more than a gang of corrupt and criminal nations, imo.

More like the US like Israel, does not believe in a peace at any price.
And appeasement has such a poor record in history.
