WATCH VIDEO: Catholic Priest Attacked in Bethlehem after Giving Refuge to Women Who Were Being Harassed

14

Israel is excoriated throughout the world on the basis of fabricated “Palestinian” atrocities. This is the reality. When Bethlehem was under Israeli control, this kind of thing didn’t happen. Tourists were safe. Now, however, it’s a different story. These men were harassing two female tourists — probably because their heads were not covered — and this Catholic priest gave them refuge. He was then stabbed by one of the men. As the director of the Philos Project says, “This is what Palestinian Christians really have to deal with.” Yet most of them, brainwashed by propaganda, still hate Israel.

“Catholic Priest Attacked in Bethlehem after Giving Refuge to Tourists,” Morning Star News, June 4, 2018:

(Morning Star News) – An unidentified man in Bethlehem lunged at a Catholic priest with what appears to be a knife on Friday (June 1) in a rare attack on a clergyman in the Palestinian Territories.

At Bethlehem’s Milk Grotto, the Rev. Fadi Shallufi on Friday afternoon opened the chapel gates to foreign tourists, including women who were being harassed by two men, according to Arabic press reports. Chapel security footage shows the Franciscan friar exchanging words with the two men through the bars of the closed gates.

One of the men pulls what appears to be knife from his pocket and strikes Shallufi as the Franciscan clergyman backs away, the footage shows.

The Jerusalem Post reported that a knowledgeable source confirmed the attack on Shallufi, and that Bishop Atallah Hannah condemned it in an online statement.

“We thank God that the injury was minor, but this action is a criminal act that is far from our human, moral and national values,” Hannah said. “We reject attacks against clerics.”

Palestinian police reportedly detained two men after receiving a complaint. The source told the Post that Palestinian authorities take such incidents seriously as they can harm tourism….

The Post reported that Shallufi is from Nazareth and has been an outspoken proponent of Muslim-Christian coexistence in the area.

The security video of the assault spread on social media, with Robert Nicholson, founder and executive director of the Philos Project tweeting, “This is what Palestinian Christians really have to deal with.”…

And the Catholic Church still has this pathological anti-Israel obsession and continues to side with the Muslims who not only hate Jews, but also hate and slaughter Christians.

Hello, Alfred Dunn. It’s difficult to not be “lumping all Catholics …” when their pope, the “vicar of Christ” is “pathologically anti-Israel”.

Why then are the Catholic charities bringing in the Muslims just for money? They are the largest charities benefiting financially by bring in these “peaceful people” to America knowing full well their intentions are of world domination.

I should have been clearer. When I said the Catholic Church, I was referring to the Church as an institution, definitely not all Catholics as individuals. There are many wonderful Catholics who do not share the Church’s (the Church as an institution) anti-Israel positions and other radical positions like open borders, etc.

Perhaps I mean the elites at the Vatican. I am merely echoing what my best friend, a politically-conservative Catholic, says.
