Israeli settler attacks on church sanctities in Palestine continue amid lax international response
The Israeli settlers continue their attacks against Palestinian Muslim and Christian places of worship, the latest of which has been the attempt to set on fire the Church of All Nations in Jerusalem.
RAMALLAH, West Bank — The Church of All Nations built on the land of Gethsemane in East Jerusalem survived Dec. 4 an attempted arson attack. An Israeli settler had lit a fire inside the church before it was quickly extinguished, causing only minor damages.
With the help of young Jerusalemites, the church guard managed to catch the settler before he escaped and turned him over to the Israeli police.
