Israel wants to eliminate Christian and Muslim Palestinians---its in the videos I posted. Its also in the statements and opinions of Israeli leaders of the past---according to Israeli historians. Its also the opinion of Christian Palestinians. Many Jews who have realized this fact are also supporting Palestinians and I have posted their voices too.
---Below are other voices from Christian Palestinians who say they will not leave their homes because it is their homeland.
Last week, Gaza’s Greek Orthodox Church also sustained damage by Israeli artillery shelling. Fifteen graves were damaged and damage was also caused to the Church’s sole hearse, says Kamel Ayyad, a parish member.
“The world must realise that Israel’s missiles don’t differentiate between Christians and Muslims,” said Abu.
At the memorial service a sad young man surrounded by attendees dressed in black gave a speech on behalf of the Greek Orthodox community and questioned the position of the international community in dealing with Israel’s crimes.
“Here is a Palestinian, an Arab, a Christian woman, martyred by Israeli shelling,” he said. “Bombs slammed into us and killed without differentiating between civilians and combatants,” he adds.
Christians and Muslims both helped to carry the coffin to the grave (AA)
Father Manuel Musallam, a former priest of the Latin Church, has always been an advocate for Palestinian unity.
“When they destroy your mosques, call your prayers from our churches”.
There are approximately 1,500 Christians in Gaza. Mosques stand next to churches along the thin coastal enclave. George Ayyad, a relative of Jalila, rejects the idea that Christians will leave Gaza after this incident.
“This is exactly what the Israelis want, but where should we go?” he questions, before he continues “This is my homeland and we are Christians here in Gaza for more than 1,000 years and we will remain.”

If we accept that Jews have a right to a homeland and this homeland is in the geographic location of Palestine, then we MUST also accept that the Palestinians have a right to their homeland as well---and until Israel acknowledges this right and gives full rights of return and full compensation to Palestinians, this is a case of unjustly stealing land from the original inhabitants for their own selfish greed. Israel must also lift the occupation, remove all illegal settlers and barriers, and compensate Palestinians for all war crimes and destruction as well as help rebuild the territory. (I prefer the one-state solution)
I do not sympathize with "terrorists" whatever that label might mean---after all---the very Taliban/Al Qaeda fighters that are now called terrorists were "freedom fighters when they were fighting the Russians. Many Irish Americans sympathized and supported the Irish "terrorists" when they were fighting the British, Nelson Mandela who was fighting for African rights and dignity was a "terrorists" according to Americans.----I support Justice and those causes in which people are fighting for Justice and against Oppression.
When two "terrorists" were running loose in Boston---the U.S. did not bomb Boston to bits and kill thousands of civilians in order to catch those terrorists---Yet that is exactly what the U.S. did in Iraq and Afghanistan---they indiscriminately bombed cities and populated areas. ----Prejudice makes Americans blind to the fact that those people are your family in Humanity, that they deserve to live just as much as the people of Boston do not deserve to be bombed---and the Palestinian children both Christians and Muslims also deserve to live too!!! Thankfully, more and more people around the world are finally recognizing this truth and protesting against the inhumanity of IDF....(including the IDF soldiers themselves)
