One cannot forget that it is with the complicity of our States, oddly silent, that Israel attacks the native Christian and Muslim people of Bethlehem who have for centuries formed a unique multicultural society.

Let us here give credit to the venerable Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, Michel Sabbah who, in his Christmas message [1], strongly reminded us of his refusal of the idea of a State with a Jewish character, and thereby discriminatory.

"The land belongs to the three religions without any exclusion of one religion or of one of the others. This is why setting up a religious State, with a religious character, Jewish or Muslim, means the exclusion of the other religion, and it means treating unjustly other believers of other religions."

"If Israel decides that it wants peace, there will be peace."

At a time when the colonisation and the persecutions against the Palestinian people continue, will Michel Sabbah’s message at last be heard by Israel ?
