06-19-06 - US Congress 'misinformed' about plight of Christians in Holy Land Open Bethlehem's chief executive Leila Sansour, a Christian from Bethlehem, has sent a letter to congress expressing her community's shock at the "gross misrepresentation of the real threat facing Christians of the Holy Land" and has urged congress to "pay heed to the real threat to the oldest Christian community in the world. The letter dated 13 June states: "We are disappointed by the latest resolution drafted by congressman McCaul and congressman Crowley purporting to act on our behalf. The resolution seriously misrepresents the situation facing Christians in the Holy Land."
THis legislation was put forth by pro-Israeli interests for pro-Israeli interests - and no others. It's a sham.

06-19-06 - Maybe Congress Should Go Home On June 6th, a bi-partisan group of members began to circulate for co-sponsorship a resolution entitled, ?Condemning the Persecution of Palestinian Christians by the Palestinian Authority.? The bill, which now has 13 co-sponsors, is nothing more than a malicious act of incitement. While correctly noting that Palestinian society is in disarray and that the percentage of Christians in Palestine has dropped significantly in the past several decades, the Congressmen proposing the legislation absolve the repressive nature of Israel?s occupation policies and falsely accuse the PA. The drafters of the bill acknowledge that in crafting their resolution they relied on the writing of an Israeli researcher working for a Jerusalem-based center founded by notorious Likudnik hard-liner Dore Gold. Palestinian Christians were not consulted, nor were any of the major religious bodies in the West with ties to their coreligionists in Palestine. Surprise surprise.
06-19-06 - Palestinian Christian continues family business in Bethlehem despite losses due to security restrictions the Israeli government, in retaliation for the Hamas victory in the Palestinian election, recently refused to renew his permit to travel to Jerusalem.

06-19-06 - Divided & Conquered - A visit to Syria, Israel, and Palestine reveals the barriers? It is not a question of the creation of the state of Israel, a country born in tragedy and hope and one with numerous extraordinary accomplishments to its credit. It is a question of the continued dispossession of the Palestinians, an unnecessary act and yet one that Americans sustain every day with their tax dollars. Unlike many other injustices, it is one of the easiest in the world to put right: everyone knows the parameters of a just solution, what the shape of a fair settlement would be.
