ISRAELIS ATTACK PALESTINIAN GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH
|
This Thursday (a day after a Palestinian mosque was burnt by Israeli settlers) a Palestinian Greek Orthodox Church was torched. Police suspect it the work of right-wing Israelis. Both buildings were defaced with anti-Palestinian and anti-Christian slurs, including graffiti maligning Jesus Christ saying: "Jesus son of a wh***". Palestinian Christians have come out maintaining that they are not attacked by Israelis because they are Christian but because they are Palestinian. Click here for a CNN News report.
