Palestinian Christians Protests Zionist Atrocities throughout the Region

Ma'an is reporting that:
Dozens of Christian figures of all sects held a sit-in strike in the yard of the Holy Sepulchre in the city of Jerusalem with bishop Atallah Hanneh in the front Thursday evening. The sit-in was a joint protest by all the Christian churches in Palestine against the Israeli aggression on Lebanon and Palestine.

Bishop Hanneh spoke on behalf of the protesters. He greeted both the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and prayed to God to give them tolerance and patience under these dire conditions.

In a declaration to Ma'an, bishop Atallah Hanneh condemned the Israeli offensive on Gaza and Lebanon and assured that "the church utters the call of truth, which says that no believer can afford to stay silent in the face of an aggression which kills young and old alike."
Much like Apartheid Israel's Church of the Nativity siege several years ago, this action undertaken by Palestinian Christians exposes the shameless propaganda about a war between Jews and Muslims ignorantly mouthed by those who support the Zionist campaign of ethnic cleansing in Palestine to be pure, unadulterated nonsense.
