"The Christians in the west, most of them, they don't know the realities here. They don't know who is occupying who, who is oppressing who, who is confiscating whose land, who is building walls to try and separate people from one another," Alex Awad, who also pastors East Jerusalem Church, told The Christian Post.

SO a Palestinian Christian leader, Alex Awad takes an Anti-Israeli stance. What a surprise... NOT.

I would also suggest that he is paying lip service to appease the likes of Hamas in exchange to be left alone. Christians have been ethnically cleansed from Bethlehem, hardly any Christians remain when decades ago they made up a large percentage of the population.

Reading the article shows just how ridiculous his claims are,

According to Awad, the reality is that the root causes of the Gaza conflict date back further than the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers. Instead, he blames Israel for not following through with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's plan under which the country was required to free Palestinian prisoners, whom he suggested were unfairly imprisoned after protesting the West Bank settlements. Awad believes that its failure to follow through with this condition enraged an already angered (and economically deprived) Palestinian population.

WRONG. The problems are just a continuation of the Arab nations plans to irradiate Israel, which began with the failed attack on Israel on the day of its re-birth as a nation.
 
I suggest that Awad learns the real reasons behind the conflicts. this video explains all.

I think I have a pretty good understating of it....

1. The Land, by decree from the God of Abraham, belongs unto Israel.
2. The land was wrongly given away by those who had no right to give it away...The British
3. The Arabs should go home (Palestinians) to where they came from.
4. Israel after much tribulation will inherit the land that God gave them as the LION of the Tribe of Judah will thoroughly purge Israel and give the Land unto whom it belongs and NO ONE will defeat God's plan and purpose!

Pretty much sums it up!

#2 ?
The British had won it from the Ottoman Empire and so had the right to devy up the whole area as they wished, no?

Yes your history is correct...what I meant was they had no right to give it to anyone as it belongs to God and He already gave it away...was what I meant by what I said.
 
Me thinks Drett doesn't understand it and that's why he keeps starting these dumb threads. Here's some insight:

1. Obama Administration Suppresses Talk of Muslim Persecutions: Muslim Persecution of Christians, March 2014
Obama Administration Suppresses Talk of Muslim Persecutions

2. Why Is President Obama Silent on Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia?
Why Is President Obama Silent on Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia?

3. U.S. blocks Christian governor from Nigeria peace talks

4. There are now at least twice as many young British Muslims who have gone to Syria to fight alongside ISIS and other such groups than there are fighting for Queen and country here in the British armed forces.
The Greatest Possible Problem for Europe

Etc... etc... etc...

#4 A definite one way ticket.
 
This chat site never ceases to disappoint. Some people actually have the arrogance to think they understand the conflict better than the people on the ground. I find myself spending less and less time on this website. It just saps the soul.

Agricola your simplified description of the problem video is from a Zionist point of view. It ignores the source of the anger of the Palestinians which is the Palestinian displacement.

History of Forced Displacement of Palestinians

AOG, try to stay on the subject of the thread and not twist each thread to a subject you prefer to be discussing.

People talked about who has right to the land. Which is again not what this thread is about. These Rabbis approach the subject on who has right to the land.

This thread is about the ignorance the Western Christians have on the conflict and most of you have illustrated it nicely.Time to go recharge the soul again. Try to stay on topic.

WHich displacement? The displacement and murder of thousands of Palestinians carried out by Jordan do you mean?
 
If 80% of america was on high alert to head to a bomb shelter in a 1 and a half minute timeframe....

or any country....

how would you react?

The absolute bigotry and ignorance on display in these threads against Israel is appalling.

Israel is not innocent, they are fighting for their very lives everyday and in war...bad things happen. The ONLY other alternative is

to die.

They fight or die.

We know what Drett wants.

Bigotry
 
Like a person driving past a car accident. I had to have one last look.

What have what you said got anything to do with the statement made by the Palestinian Christians ? Are you say they are bigoted ?

OK you did not bother to read the link. Let me give you a hand.

The major periods or episodes of forcible displacement include:
the British Mandate (1922-1947) when more than 100,000 Palestinians were displaced within and beyond the borders of Palestine in the context of British support of Zionist colonization;

the Nakba (1947-1949) when over 750,000 Palestinians were displaced in the context of a UN General Assembly recommendation to partition Palestine, armed conflict, ethnic cleansing and the establishment of the state of Israel;

Israel’s military government (1949-1966) when 35,000 to 45,000 Palestinians who had managed to remain in the area that became the state of Israel in 1948 were displaced, including many returning refugees;
the 1967 Arab-Israeli war when 400,000 to 450,000 Palestinians were displaced in the context of armed conflict and Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Egyptian Sinai peninsula and the Syrian Golan Heights;

Israel’s occupation, apartheid and colonization (1967 – 2009) when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced, and forced displacement is ongoing on both sides of the Green Line.

WHich displacement? The displacement and murder of thousands of Palestinians carried out by Jordan do you mean?

Look you seem to be happy with what you believe. Don't let me rain on your parade. :)


 
After a very heated discussion with a group of people - how angered they are with Israels attack on Gaza....
I had to raise an important reminder that Palestine is not the only country that have had their land taken away from them.

What about Australia and how the Brits took away the Aboriginals land. It's annoying and frustrating how people are quick to point fingers and forget about history.

It would be like Aboriginals bombing Australians.. ughh
 
Only difference being the religious factor - probably why it is slightly different.
 
Post a positive article on Israel Drett....

then after I pick myself up from the floor I will read your very consistent slanted, proven to be wrong many times, thread articles.
