GAZA'S CHRISTIANS UNDER SEIGE

IT'S NOT JUST INTERNET CAFES THAT HAMAS OBJECTS TO. IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE THE STONINGS AND "HONOR KILLINGS" OF WOMEN SOAR IN GAZA AND CHRISTIANS FLEE. THIS IS WHAT THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE VOTED FOR.

Christians living in Gaza City on Monday appealed to the international community to protect them against increased attacks by Muslim extremists. Many Christians said they were prepared to leave the Gaza Strip as soon as the border crossings are reopened.
The appeal came following a series of attacks on a Christian school and church in Gaza City over the past few days.

Father Manuel Musalam, leader of the small Latin community in the Gaza Strip, said masked gunmen torched and looted the Rosary Sisters School and the Latin Church.

“The masked gunmen used rocket-propelled grenades to storm the main entrances of the school and church,” he said. “Then they destroyed almost everything inside, including the Cross, the Holy Book, computers and other equipment.”

Musalam expressed outrage over the burning of copies of the Bible, noting that the gunmen destroyed all the Crosses inside the church and school. “Those who did these awful things have no respect for Christian-Muslim relations,” he said.

Hamas activists broke into a Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, stole its contents, and set on fire an adjacent monastery. They also attacked a school for nuns. PA Chairman Abbas condemned the attack as a "barbaric act" and called on the Palestinian people to unite against Hamas. He added, "Now they are attacking holy sites and places of prayer."
