Guest writer Mary Marshall from Sydney Australia with some thoughts on the position of the Greek Orthodox Church for all of Palestine on the matter of Israeli occupation.

"We in our country do not divide the martyrs into Christians or Muslims. All the martyrs are our martyrs. All those who struggle are ones who struggle for us. All of us have one goal, and it is to liberate Palestine -  Atallah Hanna (Interview with As-Safir – Notes on Arab Orthodoxy - 2013)

Archbishop Theodosios "Atallah" Hanna is a distinguished Arab nationalist and spiritual leader for Palestine. He is Archbishop of Sebastia of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. He is also the designated spokesperson for the Greek Orthodox Church for all of Palestine. The Archbishop is a member of the Arab Nationalist Congress as a representative of Palestine, and has received numerous awards for his work to strengthen Arab unity and for being a powerful spokesperson for the Palestinian cause.



From a historic document Moment of Truth:


Palestinian Christians declare that the military occupation of our land is a sin against God and humanity, and that any theology that legitimizes the occupation is far from Christian teachings because true Christian theology is a theology of love and solidarity with the oppressed, a call to justice and equality among peoples.
