Importante apelo de 100 responsáveis por comunidades cristãs na Terra Santa aos Europeus
Aqui fica este apelo dos Cristãos da Terra Santa
(Católicos, Ortodoxos, etc) aos países Europeus, numa altura em que se
discute na ONU o estatuto da Palestina e que Gaza vive momentos
dramáticos.
Palestine, the Holy Land is our homeland. Our roots here stretch for centuries. We, Palestinian Christians are the descendents of the first Christians. We are also an organic and integral component of the Palestinian people. And just like our Palestinian Muslim brothers and sisters, we have been denied our national and human rights for almost a century.
We have endured dispossession and forced exile since 1948, when two thirds of Palestine's Christians were forcibly expelled from their homes in the Holy Land. Our presence in our Holy Land has been under threat since then, choked by a snaking wall that has devoured our land and deprived our congregations of hope and peace in the land that was blessed with the birth of the Prince of Peace. We have persevered through 64 years of exile and 45 years of occupation, holding on to His message of peace. We, Palestinian Christians say enough! Our message is simple: to achieve peace, the world must also say enough to occupation and the degradation of human dignity.

Nous croyons que l’initiative de l’Organisation de Libération de la Palestine d’élever le statut de la Palestine aux Nations Unies à celui d’État Observateur représente une étape positive, collective et morale qui nous rapprochera de la liberté. C’est une étape dans la bonne direction pour la cause d’une paix juste dans la région.
Nous soutenons cette demande comme nous avons soutenu il y a un an la candidature comme membre à part entière des Nations Unies. C’est pourquoi nous demandons aux gouvernements européens de soutenir sans réserve la demande palestinienne de liberté et d’indépendance.
