this bit is for those christian zionists among you who tell us how wonderful the israeli's are;
Israeli occupation authorities refused to
issue travel permits for hundreds of Palestinian Christians from Gaza
who planned to visit holy sites in Jerusalem and Bethlehem during
Passover, Safa news agency reported yesterday.
Reporting Israeli newspaper Haaretz,
Safa said that Israel allowed only 200 Christians from Gaza, who are
over 55 years old, to travel to Jordan only and did not issue permits
for those wishing to visit the Church of Nativity in occupied Bethlehem
or the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli rights group Gisha reported
complaints against the Israeli occupation regarding the restrictions
imposed on people who want to travel during the Jewish Passover holiday
which coincides with Easter.
“This is a flagrant violation of the
freedom of movement, freedom of worship and freedom of enjoying family
life for the Christians in Gaza,” Gisha said, noting that Gaza is an
example of a “wider Israeli racist policy”.
According to Haaretz, Gisha said that this measure aims to deepen the division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip...........https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/israel-bans-gaza-christians-from-going-to-jerusalem-bethlehem-for-easter/245308
