Pierbattista Pizzaballa: Israeli Jews

The Holy Land Dept: The Rev. Pierbattista Pizzaballa, one of the church's top officials in the Holy Land, said he is worried about relations between Jews and Christians in the Holy Land. He believes the blame can go all around, according to CTV. Because the local Christian population is tiny, we do not exist for the majority ... They have other priorities, he said. On the other side, we as a minority maybe didn't invest enough energy and initiatives to reach out to Israeli Jews and jERUSALEM -- After a series of attacks by vandals on Christian holy sites in Israel, normally tight-lipped Roman Catholic officials are beginning to speak out, publicly appealing to authorities to take a stronger stand against the violence. I think the main atmosphere is ignorance, Pizzaballa told The Associated Press in an interview. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
