Alternative Carol Singing in support of Palestinians

Are you aware that the ancient Christian population of Bethlehem has fallen from 50 per cent to 15 per cent over the past few years as a direct result of Islamist attacks and intolerance?

Will you be singing for the Christian Palestinian (who have never caused a single terrorist attack) or the Muslim Palestinians whose fault this all is?

Did you know it is illeagal to attempt to talk to a jew in jerusalem about jesus?

You could be trying to 'convert' them - this carries a prison sentence with it!

Incidently, many Palestinian groups are either sectarian (ie have members of all denominations it it) or have memebers who are either christians themselves or are married to them - like Arafat was)!

Now take your anti-goy/islamophobia and put it under the tree with all the other presents zionists have given the world (mass expulsion, well poisoning, land confiscation, murder, theft and ethnic cleansing).

" Did you know it is illeagal to attempt to talk to a jew in jerusalem about jesus?"

No it isn't. You have Israel confused with: Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, Qatar, UAE, Irq, Iran, Pakistan...et al, ad nauseum.

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) on Tuesday, March 29, earned itself a measure of credibility to criticize Israeli policies, but in so doing gave rise to questions as how concerned they really are about the Palestinians.

The Presbyterians claim to care so much about the Palestinians that they have pushed a disinvestment plan calling on businesses will cease certain kinds of investments in Israel.

Their timing for the disinvestment campaign is strange – still ongoing 1 ½ years after Prime Minister Ariel Sharon launched his disengagement program to withdraw from all settlements in Gaza and four from the West Bank. The Presbyterians’ disinvestment plan might be worth debating if they tried it during Sharon’s first three years in office.

Meanwhile, they had $345,000 available to them to aid the poor Palestinians, and what did they do with it? They pledged that very money to support a church that, as any reasonable person can figure out, was established to convert Jews to Christianity. In fact, the church is located at the Plymouth Meeting Mall in a suburb less than 15 miles from my apartment in center city Philadelphia.

The church, Avodat Yisrael, cast itself as an outreach to Messianic Jews – who believe in Jesus – as well as to interfaith couples and spiritually seeking Jews when it opened in 2003, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The church has been assailed by critics for being inauthentic and deceptive, which are typical traits of Messianic leaders....
