Bishop Hanna: We will never give in to Israeli apartheid policy

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- Bishop Atallah Hanna, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia, said that the Palestinian people are seeking to lead decent lives in their country and that they have the full right to rise up against injustice and refuse humiliation and submission.

Hanna said: "No conscientious person would accept the Israeli offensive practices against our people. These violations target their daily lives and pursue the worst racist policies; let alone desecrating the Palestinians' sanctities and holy sites especially in Jerusalem which the Israeli occupation greedily aims to occupy."

"We, Palestinian Christians, are not watching in silence, and we won't stand idle before the Israeli violations committed against our people," the bishop told a French delegation in Beit Jala.

He continued: "We belong to the Palestinian holy land, we love every single grain of its soil, it is our religious, national, and ethical duty to defend the Palestinian people and we will always believe in the justice of the Palestinian cause and in the Palestinians' right to fight for restoring their stolen freedom."

The bishop pointed out that the Israeli occupation targets the Palestinian lands and uproots the olive trees. He also drew attention to the Israeli plans to build the apartheid wall under security pretexts. "But in fact it is a racist measure aimed at separating the Palestinian people from each other," the bishop charged.

Hanna finally slammed Israel's apartheid policy and declared: "We will never give up to this racist policy at any cost."

The Palestinians should be grateful

Question: "What is the land that God promised to Israel?"

Answer: In regards to the land that God has promised Israel, Genesis 15:18 declares to Abraham, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates.” God later confirms this promise to Abraham’s son Isaac and Isaac’s son Jacob (whose name was later changed to Israel). When the Israelites were about to invade the Promised Land, God reiterated the land promise, as recorded in Joshua 1:4, “Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates—all the Hittite country—to the Great Sea on the west.”

According to Genesis 15:18 and Joshua 1:4, the land God gave to Israel included everything from the Nile River in Egypt to Lebanon (south to north) and everything from the Mediterranean Sea to the Euphrates River (west to east). So, what land has God stated belongs to Israel? All of the land modern Israel currently possesses, plus all of the land of the Palestinians (the West Bank and Gaza), plus some of Egypt and Syria, plus all of Jordan, plus some of Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Israel currently possesses only a fraction of the land God has promised.
