Occupied Jerusalem<\/strong> \u2013 In a stark warning that reverberates across the conscience of humanity, Archbishop Atallah Hanna, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia, has vehemently condemned the escalating and systematic aggression perpetrated by the Zionist occupation forces against Christians in Jerusalem and throughout Palestine. He underscored that clergy and sacred places of worship are increasingly becoming direct targets of this brutal campaign.<\/p>\n Speaking to Al Jazeera, Archbishop Hanna unequivocally stated that these heinous attacks are far from isolated incidents. Instead, they represent a calculated and insidious policy meticulously orchestrated by the occupying regime, designed to erode and ultimately dismantle the indigenous Palestinian presence in Jerusalem, encompassing both its revered Christian and Muslim communities.<\/p>\n The Archbishop further elucidated how the inflammatory and hateful political discourse emanating from the Zionist entity directly contributes to fostering an environment ripe for such abhorrent acts of violence and intimidation.<\/p>\n His poignant remarks follow a deeply disturbing incident where a French nun was subjected to a brutal assault within Jerusalem\u2019s Old City. The barbarity of this attack, captured on video and widely circulated, exposed the true face of the occupation. Archbishop Hanna described the assault as \u201cbrutal and barbaric,\u201d detailing how the nun was viciously attacked while returning to a convent near Damascus Gate, sustaining injuries and bruises before her condition eventually stabilized.<\/p>\n This latest atrocity, Archbishop Hanna stressed, is not an anomaly but rather a continuation of a protracted and egregious pattern of violations against Christians and their holy sites that has persisted relentlessly since the 1967 occupation. This systematic persecution includes, but is not limited to, verbal abuse, the despicable act of spitting on clergy, and outright physical assaults. Numerous Christian clergy and nuns, he revealed, have endured similar traumatic experiences at the hands of the occupation forces and extremist settlers.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are one people, and we are all targeted in our holy sites, our endowments and the details of our lives,\u201d Archbishop Hanna declared with unwavering resolve, emphasizing the shared plight and unbreakable unity of Palestinian Christians and Muslims in the face of Zionist oppression.<\/p>\n He added that these relentless attacks are a chilling manifestation of a racist, supremacist ideology that harbors no respect for religious pluralism or the fundamental human rights of the indigenous population in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n This alarming trend of aggression is further corroborated by reports such as the one from the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem, which has filed a formal complaint regarding the Israeli occupiers\u2019 brazen encroachments on church-owned lands in the West Bank, underscoring the comprehensive nature of the Zionist regime’s expansionist agenda.<\/strong><\/p>\n #JerusalemUnderAttack #ChristianPersecution #PalestinianChristians #ZionistAggression #HolySitesProtection #ReligiousFreedomViolations #EndIsraeliOccupation #ArchbishopHanna #PalestineSolidarity #HumanRights<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Archbishop Hanna Sounds Alarm Over Zionist Regime’s Escalating Attacks on Christians in Occupied Jerusalem Occupied Jerusalem \u2013 In a stark warning that reverberates across the conscience of humanity, Archbishop Atallah Hanna, the Greek Orthodox Archbishop of Sebastia, has vehemently condemned the escalating and systematic aggression perpetrated by the Zionist occupation forces against Christians in Jerusalem […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19525,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-middle-east-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19525"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fajr.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Brutal Assault on French Nun Highlights Zionist Barbarity<\/h2>\n
