Palestinians protest Greek Orthodox patriarch for selling land to Israelis
2019-01-07
Probably wish they could condemn him to death, or life, like that Palestinian-American the PA is trying to send back home after the Americans made their displeasure known.
[IsraelTimes] Dozens of Paleostinians are protesting the arrival of the Greek Orthodox patriarch of the Holy Land ahead of an Orthodox Christmas celebration in Bethlehem.

The protesters shout "traitor" at Patriarch Theophilos III as he makes his way under heavy guard toward the Church of the Nativity, revered by Christians as the traditional site of Jesus’s birthplace. Paleostinians have been demanding his resignation for allegedly selling church land to Israelis.

The Greek Orthodox church is one of the largest real estate owners in the Holy Land. It is dominated by Greek clergy while the flock is overwhelmingly Paleostinian.

The Orthodox mark Christmas on January 7, according to the Gregorian, rather than Julian, calendar.
