Why are they doing this to our Arab Palestinians people? Why does the West hate us that much? What did we do to deserve all this? What did the Palestinians do to the world?

Who are we as Arab-Christians for the Christians of the West? Aren't we the Christians of the first centuries? The Christians who translated the Bible into different languages; the first who have created monachism, and religious orders; the first fathers of the Church; the first missionaries?

At his visit in March 2000, Pope John Paul II was proud of the Palestinian Christians and their history and thanked them for what they have given to the world and praised the harmony between Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land.

How we can as Arab Christians recall with pride these words of the Pope?

How we can recall the many other speeches of the Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, pastors and preachers of the Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and Protestant Churches?

They seem to many of the Arab Christians as just mere words for public opinion. But when there should be some actions, everybody finds a way to step back and try to think what to do and when to act. What a shame!
