Palestinian Christian Leader Goes On Hunger Strike
Sources close to Archmandrite Attallah Hanna, of the Greek Orthodox Church in occupied Jerusalem started an open hunger strike on Monday, December 16, to protest a case raised against him two days ago by the Greek Patriarch of Jerusalem Arinous I calling for him to be present in court after 30 days. Boy, this sammitch is really good! Want some? Oh. Sorry... Speaking to Quds Press, the orthodox source, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that Attallahâs has gone on strike because he feels that the complaint which Arinous filed against him was âpart of a joint conspiracy between him and the Israeli authorities and with clear collaboration with the Israeli Mossad which was following Attallah for supporting the Palestinian resistance.â These fries a like perfection: hot, crispy, just a light sprinkle of salt... He added that pressures from the Greek Church as well as Israel have been placed on Attallah to force him to submit his resignation and leave the occupied territories, especially in the light of several offers that he is receiving from churches around the world. Oooh! Lemon meringue pie! One of my favorites! Oh, that piece is much too big!... Well, if you insist... The source, who was speaking on the sideline of a sit-in organized by hundreds of the orthodox followers in the Church of Ascension, stressed the Israeli-Greek prejudice against Attallah, saying that it has reached its peak and to an extent that one can not continue to remain silent about it. Mmmmm... Barbecue! Carolina barbecue's okay, but this Texas-style is really the best! He called on all Orthodox churches around the world to boycott Patriarch Arinous I who, according to the source, âdoes not comply, even partially, with his actions and stance to the spirit of the orthodox church.â Oh, no thank you! I couldn't hold another bite! Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-12-18 |
