Episcopalians in Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles held silent prayer vigils in protest of Israeli treatment of Palestinians on May 24, the day Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress about the peace process.
They sought to send a message about the Israeli government’s policies towards Palestinians in general and specifically the refusal to grant Anglican Bishop Suheil Dawani a permit to reside in Jerusalem. As bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem, Dawani, a Palestinian Christian, oversees congregations and institutions in Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the Palestinian Territories.
I have a feeling there is far more of a back story to this than the gullibles in DC and LA are aware of.
About 40 in D.C. and a dozen or so in LA? And that’s news?
Ludicrous. And probably not only anti-Zionist, but also…..
Wasn’t “the rest of the story” centered around the alleged facilitation of the transfer of land deeds to Palestinians in Israel/Jerusalem, an illegal activity in Israel? I know it’s a foreign concept to many of us in America, but some countries deport aliens (refuse re-entry, etc) when they break laws. . .
