No doubt there will be some posters and viewers who will think that that Father Nadaf is a "lousy Zionist."
Israeli Christian Leader to Ambassadors: We Must Unite Against Terror
By Aryeh Savir July 22, 2014
JERUSALEM Father Gabriel Nadaf, one of the heads of the Greek-Orthodox church in Israel and a staunch supporter of the State of Israel, dispatched a letter to ambassadors from various countries stationed in Israel, calling on them to support Israels government and the IDF during Operation Protective Edge, to unite and fight terrorism and to safeguard the Holy Land.
Edmond Burke, the 18th century Irish philosopher and political theorist, said, The only thing necessary for evil to win is for good men to do nothing. Therefore, we are all brothers in the face of evil, with no regard to religion, race, and faith. The outcry about the atrocities we are crying out together. As the spiritual father of the Israeli Christians Forum, who encourages the recruitment of Israel Christians to the IDF and full integration of Christians into the Israeli society, I would like to turn to you with a plea to support and back Israel, our Holy land, and its defense forces. The country is under fire and our soldiers are fighting against terrorist organizations, whose sole purpose and goal is to destroy the State of Israel.
In the name of the Israeli Christians, I am crying out to the whole world, the world has to wake up! Terrorism acts dont allow any chance for peace. If Hamas doesnt safeguard its own people, Israel cannot be held responsible for their safety. Hamas is supposed to be protecting its own people but unfortunately, like all the terrorist organizations, it does the opposite, takes advantage of the Civilian Gazan population, and sacrifices its people (women and children). Therefore, the death of the Palestinian civilians in Gaza is the sole responsibility of Hamas. They are the only ones to blame.
