Israeli racism against Palestinian Christians
Israel, Religion, 12/4/1997
"Israeli occupation authorities treat Christians with racism and seek to forbid them from practicing their religious rituals," said the representative of the Latin Patriarch in Occupied Jerusalem, Giasento Paul Markozo.
In a statement to the AP, Makrkozo said that Israel, since September, had forbidden the transmission of a monthly, one-hour Catholic Church program and decreased the frequency of religious programs as a first step toward canceling them completely.
Meanwhile, about 200 Palestinians demonstrated in the occupied town of Nablus, demanding the release of Palestinian detainees from Israeli jails. The demonstrators, mostly women and children, asked in a letter they handed to the representative of the International Red Cross Commission for pressure on Israel to release the detainees. So far the Israeli forces have arrested 4,000 Palestinians, including 880 without trial or any charge.
