Watch: Palestine attacks against Christians by Israeli forces up 100%

By Staff Writer

THE state of Palestine has condemned the continued incursions by extremist Israeli settlers into Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites under their occupation amid revelations the latter’s attacks have risen by 100%.

Israeli forces have been accused of spitting at such people, throwing stones, vandalizing Christian signs and symbols, attempting to burn churches, prevention of Christians to attend religious ceremonies like Christmas and Easter.

It was underscored that these provocations by the Israeli occupation authorities and the settlers are a dangerous approach aimed at detonating the situation which will lead to dangerous repercussions whose results no one can predict.

“The rising intolerance by extreme Israeli settlers that violate Israel’s stated commitment to freedom of worship begins with spitting may then turn into hitting and killing of non-Jews especially Christians,” said Palestine.

Palestine said the Israeli occupation authorities are trying to create new realities in East Jerusalem amid calls for the apartheid occupants’ government to know very well that Jerusalem with its sanctities is a Palestinian Arab land, and all its attempts will fail to change the nature, history, and identity of Jerusalem.

“There will be no security and stability without sovereignty and the approval of the Palestinian people and its leadership,” added Palestine.
