A palestinian smack in the face of THE MASTER OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

PATRIARCH ATTALLAH HANNA REFUSES
TO RECEIVE THE MASTER OF THE WHITE HOUSE
Bethlehem News

The Archbishop of the Greek Orthodox
Patriarchate in Occupied Jerusalem,
Patriarch Attallah Hanna, has refused
to receive the American President
George Bush, in the Nativity Church
of Bethlehem during the President’s
recent visit.

His rebuttal to the American president
generated immense satisfaction
among the Palestinian people, especially
the Christians, who had been
unhappy and embarrassed at the warm
welcome and servility portrayed
in the reception of the American
president by other religious leaders.

A Palestinian Christian national stated
that “The refusal of the
Archbishop of Jerusalem to receive
George Bush has lifted our morale.”
He added, “It is shameful to receive
the maker of wars at the birthplace
of Christ, the Prince of Peace.”

Earlier this month, in a talk to
Palestinian refugees, at Buqa’a Camp
in Jordan, Hanna declared ” President
Bush and what he does has
no relationship whatsoever with
Christianity. It bears no relationship
to Christian ethics, morals, values,
or Christian behavior. Hence, we also
reject the policies of America, its
absolute and unequivocal support of
Israel, and its occupation of Iraq.”
